In Song Tian"s cabin, Song Tian awake, he looked at the clock, "Oh, it"s already 11 AM," He muttered."Good morning, master," Song Ye greets him.
"Morning, Xiao Yi," Song Tian said as he rubs his eyes and walks to sink, washing his face.
Feeling more refreshed, Song Tian went downstairs and looked around, "Fatty w.a.n.g still asleep, let"s harvest cabbages first," He said.
Song Tian picks a big plastic container and goes to the planted area, and he starts to lift the nets covering the cabbages.
Looking at the cabbages in front of him, Song Tian smiled, "Good, now it"s time to harvest all of them!" He said.
Several moments later, Song Tian wiping his sweat on his forehead, relieved "Alright, last one" He said as he pulls the last cabbage.
"Congratulations, master for completing the Second Quest: Fresh Fruits and Vegetables."
Quest scroll appeared in front of Song Tian.
"Second Quest Completed."
- Rewards: Basic Crop Storage and System Shop V.1.
- (Claim Now).
Song Tian looked at the rewards, excited, and clicks the claim b.u.t.ton immediately.
Song Tian asked eagerly, "Xiao Yi, what"s the function for both of them?"
Song Yi said, "Let me explain the Basic Crop Storage first. It has the same function as eggs storage, which froze the times. Making sure all of the crops inside kept being fresh. Master, you need to install them somewhere first so I can explain the function."
Song Tian furrowed his brows, "How big is it? There are no rooms available at my cabin. Is it safe if I put it outside?" He asked.
Song Yi said, "It"s fairly big, master can move it around since the storage had wheels in the bottom. You can put it outside, but I advise master to upgrade the fence first, so it has more protection to prevent the problem."
Song Tian smiled bitterly, "It seems upgrading the fence is the only fast solution for it, even if ask Fatty w.a.n.g to build me a warehouse, it"ll take a while. Let"s see if Fatty w.a.n.g sold some unprocessed timber," He said.
Song Yi said, "Master, why don"t you just chop some trees nearby?"
Song Tian shook his head, "Chopping trees? I would get into trouble if I were to chop the trees without permission, and I don"t even know what softwood and hardwood trees are. It"s better to ask Fatty w.a.n.g later," He said.
Song Tian continued, "Oh, I forgot there"s another reward. What"s the function of the System Shop?" He asked.
Song Yi giggled, "It"s basically extended and more simple way to purchase stuff from me, take a look, Master," She said as the System"s Shop Interface appeared in front of Song Tian.

Song Tian scrolls down to look at the item available to purchase, his face twitched as he continues to scrolls down until the last items.
Song Tian face changed after looking at the last item"s price, his jaw widened, "Xiao Yi, Basic tools cost $1000? There are even subscription services? What kind of crafting book would cost that much?" He asked.
Song Yi laughed, "Of course, your Basic Hoe and Basic Watering can also cost that much, master," She said.
Song Yi said, "Master, the subscription service provided by me would save you a lot of money you know. Imagine if you plant 100 garlic, it would cost you $100 for fertilizers already."
Song Yi continued, "After 5 days to harvest it, you need to reapply the fertilizers for another $100, and it"s not even with pesticides that would cost you another $100. For four times harvest period of garlic, master had to pay the total amount $800 for both fertilizer and pesticide, excluding the other one-time crops. With subscription service, master can save a lot of money, especially if you choose the Combo Plans and planning to plants a lot of crops," She rea.s.sures Song Tian.
Song Tian pondered, his eyes lit up, "So, does that mean if I use the subscription service after I harvest the crops, I don"t have to apply the fertilizers and pesticides again?" He asked.
"Bingo! As for the Book of Crafting, all I can say is, worth it!" Song Yi said confidently.
Song Tian hesitated, "I will buy it later, for now, I need to see the Basic Crop Storage first," He said as he walks to the empty land.
"Xiao Yi, put it here first," Song Tian said as he pointed to an empty land.
Not long after, Song Tian could see a large shelf that appeared in front of him. On the shelf, there are 5 layers of storage rack, and each layer split into two parts to display the fruits.
It"s covered with a gla.s.s, and there"s a handle on each layer. The back part of the shelf is the ones that make the shelf a giant, the materials on it are something that looks like a type of metal.
The size of the shelf is so big, Song Tian didn"t think he could even move this thing.
Song Tian looking at the large shelf gulped, "Xiao Yi, are you sure I can move this thing around? It"s huge? Also, the back part of it is the storage, right? How do I put my crops into this?" He asked.
Song Yi answered, "Master, don"t worry. This thing had only 300kg of weight, even if you maxed out the crops in it, the weight wouldn"t change. If other people try to move this, the weight would automatically change accordingly to prevent a human from stealing it."
Song Yi continued, "But, that doesn"t mean it can prevent machinery such as forklift and other things, which is why I suggest you upgrade the fence for more protection. To store the crops, go to the right side of the storage, and there"s handle on it, pull it, and master can throw all the crops into it. Don"t worry, the crops won"t break no matter how much power master throw the crop into it."
Song Tian walked to the right side of it, he saw there"s handle on it, he pull the handle, and it slide back like a table drawer. He picks one cabbage and throws it hard. The cabbage he throws immediately stays still without moving after it reaches the bottom of it.
Not long after, the bottom part moves like a conveyor belt and sent the cabbage to the inside of the storage.
Song Tian surprised, and he picks the container full of cabbages and pours them into it. One by one, the cabbages get aligned, and the conveyor belt started moving to put all the cabbages into the storage.
"Woah, this is awesome," Song Tian excitedly said as he walks to the front, "Xiao Yi, how do I put the cabbages on display?" He asked.
Song Yi answered, "Master just have to open the farm interface and go to Storage - Crop Storage, and you can select which crops do you want to display and where you want to put it."
Song Yi continued, "Master can put two types of the crop on each layer."
Song Tian immediately opens the farm interface and select the cabbage to display at the highest layer on the right.
After that, the back of the highest layer on the right opened like a garage and put several cabbages on display.
Song Tian open the handle to picks one cabbage, he shivered when he puts his hand on it "It"s freezing inside this thing," He said.
After he picks one cabbage, the garage door on the back opened and put another cabbage to replace the cabbage Song Tian just picked.
Song Yi said, "Master can also pull the display rack for 20 meters at max and move it up and down, so you can unload the stored crops into a truck or something. Don"t worry, it also had a conveyor belt for the convenience hehe."
Song Tian said excitedly, "Wow, this is so d.a.m.n cool! Xiao Yi, how many crops can I put into this storage?" He asked.
Song Yi said, "Master can put 10 types of crops, and each crop had 10.000 capacity".
Song Tian surprised, "That much? The eggs storage didn"t even store that much," He said.
Song Yi laughed, "It is one of the main quest rewards, after all, master can"t compare it with the rewards you got from the side quest."
Song Tian tries to push the Crop Storage, and it moves quickly as Song Tian pushed it.
After that, Song Tian measures the Crop Storage and decided to store it back to the system.
Song Tian walked to his cabin and noticed that w.a.n.g Hai still sleeping, he shook his head as he goes to upstairs to take a shower.
Several minutes later, Song Tian goes to the living room, and he could see w.a.n.g Hai sat on the couch with his eyes half opened.
Song Tian said, "Oy, wash your face or something. We"re going to take lunch at my grandma"s restaurant."
w.a.n.g Hai just nodded his head as if he can"t hear all of the things Song Tian said to him, Song Tian looked at w.a.n.g Hai and laughed.
After w.a.n.g Hai prepared himself, w.a.n.g Hai asked, "Brother, where we"re going again?."
Song Tian laughed, "We"re going to eat lunch at my grandma"s restaurant," he said.
w.a.n.g Hai said, "Alright, let"s go. I didn"t expect the owner of it was your grandma, the world is tiny, huh."
Song Tian and w.a.n.g Hai walked to Gao Zhao"s restaurant.
Song Tian could see Lin Hua eating by herself, and his grandma seems to be on the kitchen.
Song Tian said, "Lin Hua, why are you eating alone? Where"s your brother?" He asked.
Lin Hua turned back, "Oh, Song Tian. My brother... He"s in the downtown," She said.
Song Tian furrowed his eyebrows, from Lin Hua"s hesitant voice, He could tell that Lin Hua seems to be troubled with something.
Song Tian sat on the chair beside her, "Oh, is Brother Lin on business today?" He asked as he looks into her eyes.
Lin Hua looked at Song Tian, she didn"t dare to look Song Tian in the eyes and hesitantly said, "My brother... He.."
Song Tian sighed, "If you and your brother are in trouble, both of you can just look for me. What is happening?"
w.a.n.g Hai looked at both of them, "Brother?" He asked.
Lin Hua looked at w.a.n.g Hai, and she becomes more hesitant.
Song Tian said, "It"s okay, he"s my trusted friends since childhood. You can tell us what is happening to your brother."
Lin Hua hesitantly said, "My brother went to the downtown this morning, trying to sell something. But he didn"t return. I tried to call him, but it"s out of service."
Song Tian said, "Alright, can you tell me what"s your brother trying to sell? So it"ll narrow down the potential places and makes it easier for us to look for him."
Lin Hua looked at Song Tian and w.a.n.g Hai, hesitantly said, "My brother"s trying to sell the golden necklace, a memento left by our mother before she pa.s.ses away to repay our family"s debt because tomorrow is the deadline to pay it."
Song Tian asked, "What"s the company name your brother is trying to pay to?"
Lin Hua said, "I don"t exactly know what company it is, but I remember it"s called Zheng Zhi"s Company."
"What?" Song Tian and w.a.n.g Hai said at the same time.
