Chapter 15: Upgrade

[ Mian’an City, Yamu Villa District, Inside of He Family’s Mansion POV ]

The room that housekeeper Uncle Fang prepared for Song Xingcheng is located next to the master bedroom on the third floor of the main building of the He Family Mansion. It is the most exquisitely furnished room with the best view. From the balcony of the room, you can see the 100-acre Xinghu Lake and the lawn along the coast.

    Song Xingcheng glanced at it casually and was very satisfied. He put all the dirty clothes that had been worn all day into the laundry basket and handed them to the cleaning lady, before taking a hot bath happily.

    Song Xingcheng doesn’t feel burdened about using water. He has already accumulated 52 energy points, which is enough for him to build a special system building. The [Water Supply Plant] can definitely be built, so he doesn’t have to worry about water sources in the future.

    After taking a shower and changing into clean and soft home clothes, Song Xingcheng brushed his hair and went to the balcony, summoned the system panel, and built several buildings one after another with the last ray of bright colors in the sky.

    Four [Small Wooden Houses] popped up next to the wooden house that landed in the morning. In addition, after the successful research of [Water Supply Technology], the [Water Supply Plant] unlocked in the [Municipal] icon also fell on the grid next to the wooden house, 5 buildings spent a total of 25 energy points.

    Song Xingcheng waited patiently for ten minutes in a happy mood. The five newly built buildings were completed one after another, revealing their original appearance.

    At this time, a new prompt pops up on the system panel. The water supply plant and the residence need to be connected by a system road so that the water supply plant can supply water to the residential wooden house.

    Song Xingcheng understood it, clicked on the first-level icon [Road Repair], and found that 1 energy point can build a 20-meter-long road. He spent 3 energy points to build a 60-meter-long straight road, and the existing 5 [Small Wooden Houses] are connected to the gate of the [Water Supply Plant].

    As soon as the road was paved, several fireworks bloomed on the system panel. [Congratulations on city upgrade] flashed in the center of the panel, and then Song Xingcheng noticed that the small number 1 in the upper left corner of the panel had changed to a number 2. It seems that this number represents the level of the system city.

    Then Song Xingcheng discovered that the city upgrade conditions in the [Task] icon had been updated:

◤━━━━━━━━━━━◥

    1. Build 10 Small Wooden Houses (5/10)

    2. Build 1 Piece of Farmland (0/1)

   Reminder: Farmland is now available!

◣━━━━━━━━━━━◢

    Song Xingcheng’s eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the [Technology] icon. Sure enough, he unlocked two new technologies that can be researched, namely [Grain Planting] and [Logging Technology].

    Unfortunately, the price of research technology has also increased, and each technology needs to pay 10 energy points.

    The farmland that needs to be built for urban upgrading is likely to be unlocked after researching the [Grain Planting] technology, but the task of building a small wooden house can be completed first.

    Thinking this way, Song Xingcheng clicked on [Residence], but found that [Small Wooden House] could not be built, and the system prompted that there was a lack of wood.

    No wonder [Logging Technology] is unlocked in Technology!

    Song Xingcheng suddenly realized that it seemed that he had to study [Logging Technology] first, and then obtain the wood before continuing to build the [Small Wooden House]. Tsk, this chain of restrictions, in short, starts with the research of technology.

    After enlightenment, Song Xingcheng immediately paid 20 energy points and confirmed to start researching the two technologies of [Grain Planting] and [Logging Technology].

    After accumulating Song Xingcheng’s system panel for an afternoon, there were 52 energy points at the most, and a total of 28 energy points were spent to build the buildings needed for city upgrade, leaving 24 energy points.

    After researching the two technologies unlocked by tier 2 cities, there are only 4 points left, and nothing can be done.

    Although the energy point has returned to the pitiful single digits again, Song Xingcheng still feels extremely happy when looking at the hazy buildings in the distance in the night, and looking at the number 2 representing the system city level in the upper left corner of the panel.

    “I’m a hard-working city lord, and I’m good at building cities…”

    It took only one day for him before the system city has been upgraded, surpassing the hard work of “Song Xingcheng” in the novel for two weeks, he is really great!

    The joyful Song Xingcheng continued to build his own city diligently. Although he had no money to build buildings, he found that he could adjust some subtle settings for the buildings that had already been built. For example, he could set up simple wooden houses to collect rent, and The rent can be posted on the gate of the small wooden house.

    Well, how much should the rent be?

    To help him accumulate energy points to improve the city level, not to put too much pressure on the survivors who rented a house, and avoid killing chickens and taking only the eggs…

    Until receiving the internal call asking him to go downstairs for dinner, Song Xingcheng was still thinking about it but even if he was a little entangled, he was still in a happy mood, and the corners of his mouth were turned up, while his eyes were curved.

    He Qianshan was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor and counting the supplies with Zheng Nianhao. When he looked up, he saw the child walking down the stairs leisurely shaking his hands. His hair was just washed and not completely dry. He has a cute curve, a pleasant smile on his clean, white, and tender face, and a smile in his round clear eyes… just looking at it, it makes people feel relaxed and happy involuntarily.

    He Qianshan raised his hand to greet Song Xingcheng. In fact, even if he didn’t wave, Song Xingcheng was already walking in his direction. Song Xingcheng sat directly next to He Qianshan, relaxed and slumped on the sofa, and let out a long sigh of relief.

    He Qianshan has also washed up and changed into comfortable home clothes. The dark blue clothes are a little serious, but the velvet material is a little more friendly, making the people sitting next to him feel more at ease.

    Zheng Nianhao, who was on the sofa next to him, looked at the two who were already talking softly, and subconsciously pushed his glasses. His eyes behind the lenses lingered on his boss and Song Xingcheng respectively.

    The chemical reaction produced by the collision of auras between people is really wonderful. Before the young master of the Song family appeared, although the boss was wearing home clothes and sitting on the living room sofa, his expression and state were the same as wearing a suit and sitting on the office table. There is no slight difference before, even with him, he can’t help but sit up straight and seriously report to work.

    But as soon as Young Master Song appeared, the boss’s state relaxed visibly, as if he was pulled from the office back to the living room at home in an instant, and his expression and state were more integrated with the surrounding environment.

    Ha, that’s interesting. Zheng Nianhao enjoyed himself on the sidelines.

    He Qianshan asked a few words about Song Xingcheng’s living experience, stretched out his hand to stroke the child’s upturned hair, stuffed the fruit plate on the coffee table into Song Xingcheng’s arms, let him eat the fruit for a while, then turned his head and continued talking Zheng Nianhao discussed it.

    What is the amount of materials collected today? How to classify and store? How to allocate usage quota? Whether to continue to collect materials tomorrow… All kinds of issues need to be discussed and decided by President He Qianshan himself.

    There is no way, the once huge decision-making support team has been scattered with the apocalypse, and now He Qianshan is like a former president who had to start from scratch after falling behind in his family.

    Song Xingcheng listened with relish and occasionally expressed his own opinions. Although He Qianshan felt that his children’s attitude towards food was too optimistic, he didn’t deny anything. If they were alone, the food they collected today would be enough to eat for a few years, and the pressure is really not particularly high.

    Not long after, Han Qinmin came to invite the three of them to have a big meal. Tonight, Han Qinmin made a seafood feast.

    Even if the mansion has a solar generator that can supply electricity by itself and has the conditions for refrigerated storage, fresh seafood such as seafood cannot be stored for long at all, so Han Qinmin washed up after sending people back and began to prepare a seafood feast.

    In the end, only He Qianshan, Song Xingcheng, Han Qinmin, and Zheng Nianhao sat at the table, and the food for the others was delivered alone.

    There was no way, the two new families who moved into the podium, who had children with them, and children needed their parents’ comfort when they were frightened. Chetian Qiufeng and Zhao Zhenhai couldn’t leave at all. He Qianshan simply asked the housekeeper to put the prepared food on a separate plate and send it over.

    As for the housekeeper and the cleaning auntie, they are not in the habit of eating at the host’s house, and it is more comfortable to eat in their own room.

    So, there were only four people in the slightly dim restaurant with only one light on. Han Qinmin’s craftsmanship is really good, and it is not bad compared with the chefs of high-end restaurants outside. Prawns and crabs, oysters and scallops, sea urchin and salmon… …all were so delicious that Song Xingcheng twitched his index finger when he saw it, and he was even more satisfied when he ate it, his eyes were always squinting with joy.

    Although the outside world is a mess, the entrance of delicious food is enough to comfort the body and soul, making people temporarily forget their worldly troubles as they concentrate on immersing themselves in the food, while showing the greatest respect for these delicacies.

    After dinner, the four of them moved into the study room to continue discussing. Zheng Nianhao was mainly talking about He Qianshan making the decision, Song Xingcheng actively participated and occasionally interrupted, and Han Qinmin sat in the corner from beginning to end, wandering away.

    Just after eight o’clock, today’s harvest and tomorrow’s plan have been settled and arranged. Zheng Nianhao went to the podium to care for the two new families on He Qianshan’s behalf, while He Qianshan urged his child to go back to their room to rest:

    “Go to bed early, I will wake you up at dawn tomorrow, and we will probably return to the routine of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.”

    Hearing this, Song Xingcheng yawned uncontrollably, he was indeed very tired. Yes, for the whole day, especially in the afternoon, his spirit is tense, the attention is highly concentrated, and the exhaustion is too large. When he relaxes, he will feel tired all at once. After greeting him vaguely, he will go back to the room to rest.

    Han Qinmin usually gets up early to exercise, and when he thinks that he will wake up earlier than usual tomorrow, he rushes back to his room to rest.

    He Qianshan returned to his bedroom, sat by the window, stared at the dark sky outside the window, and meditated. After reflecting on today’s gains and losses, he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, and finally lay down to rest.

    The next morning at five o’clock, Song Xingcheng woke up with the alarm clock calling. After washing up, he opened the curtains and stretched out the window.

    Taking advantage of the morning light, Song Xingcheng looked at the Xinghu Lake at the foot of the mountain and the row of buildings belonging to him beside the Xinghu Lake. He called out to the system panel, “Huh?”

    Song Xingcheng stopped when he was about to open the level 2 icon, and looked at the number in the upper right corner of the panel. Last night, he built the buildings needed for the level 1 city, and after researching two technologies to unlock the level 2 city, he still had 4 points of energy, but now there are only 3 points left?
