I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 35 "Farming brings honor to the family, raising pigs brings glory to the ancestors."

Tonight is the third night since the rainy season began.

Chen Fan, along with the lame monkey and a few others, guarded the city wall, preparing to deal with the crisis tonight. Zhou Mo and the others who had been busy all day went to sleep early on his orders.

However.
They kept watching until dawn.

"."

Chen Fan frowned slightly as he looked at the darkness receding rapidly like a tide; a night had already passed.

Its daybreak.

Last night could even be described as calm and peaceful.

There were no flesh-eating worms or ghostly tides, no female ghost sitting in a sedan chair, and not even any ghostly creatures passing by. The area around the camp was quiet and peaceful, without a single sound.

This should be a good thing.

but.
He couldn't handle too many monsters, but he couldn't handle too few either. He specially built 10 new arrow towers to prepare for the monsters' onslaught during the rainy season. But he didn't see a single monster last night. Where did they go?

Killing monsters is currently his primary source of monster stones.

If he can't even see a single strange creature, where will he get the strange stone?

He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while before looking at the lame monkey and the others who had spent the night in the rain with him on the city wall: "Alright, it's dawn. Pack up and go back to your rooms to sleep."

This is not reasonable.

It's impossible for the weather to be so calm during the rainy season.

Something unusual must be going on; we must be fully prepared tonight.

At this moment——

He looked out at the farmland outside the city and suddenly laughed. The seedlings in the fields grew rapidly under the first rays of sunlight and produced abundant fruit, each one round and plump, looking extremely pleasing.

The first batch of plants has matured and is ready for harvest!

"Stationmaster."

Full of energy, Zhou Mo jogged up the steps to the city wall: "We've all had enough sleep. What's the mission today?"

Chen Fan glanced at Zhou Mo and Qi Chong standing behind him, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"Qi Chong doesn't need to go out on fieldwork today."

"You'll pick all the fruit from the field later."

"Zhou Mo, you are in charge of moving all the resources from the nearby destroyed sites back to the camp today. The ones that are closer have already been mostly moved by Wang Kui and the others. The remaining sites are quite far away, so don't be greedy and prioritize safety."

"understand!"

Zhou Mo stood in the pouring rain, grinning and shouting with boundless energy.

"Station manager. It's me."

Standing to the side, Qi Chong's eyes flashed with shame and embarrassment, and he lowered his head involuntarily: "I..."

"It's okay."

Chen Fan shook his head, smiled, and patted Qi Chong on the shoulder: "There are also many things to do in the camp, and their value to the camp is no less than that of field missions."

Qi Chong was dispatched to carry out this mission yesterday.

only.
They didn't bring back a single strange stone.

Not long after Qi Chong left the camp with the strange map in his hand, he lost his grip on the map, causing it to be blown away by a strong wind. He was completely lost and wandered around in the storm for a day.

They only managed to find the camp just as eternal night was about to fall.

It's also good luck.

This one is not dead.

The Ghost Skin Map is a non-renewable resource for the camp. There are only 5 in the camp, including the one he has. Qi Chong lost one, leaving only 4. He dares not let Qi Chong go out on field missions anymore.

Don't lose another map and cause two more deaths.

That would be a big loss.

"I"

Qi Chong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't say a word. He simply lowered his head, completely avoiding Chen Fan's gaze.

"Then I'll go to the stationmaster?" Zhou Mo said with a cheerful laugh.

"Go."

The lame monkey and the others had already fallen asleep.

Chen Fan stood by the farmland, gazing thoughtfully at Qi Chong, who was busy picking fruit with his trousers rolled up. He thought to himself, "This guy is actually quite skilled at farm work." He casually asked, "Did you used to farm?"

"hold head high."

Qi Chong wiped the rain off his face and hurriedly stood up to reply, "After the eternal night descends, farming will be very troublesome. Although the monsters will not destroy the farmland, farmers will need to travel back and forth between the city and the farmland outside the city, which will take a long time."

"Many chambers of commerce have established farms within large, safe natural zones. Before joining the Wild Wolf Gang, I worked on a farm belonging to the 'Pingtian Chamber of Commerce' in Jiangbei City."

"They are all common plants."

"I've never grown this kind before."

"That's good." Chen Fan smiled and nodded slightly: "You'll be in charge of this farmland from now on."

He then turned his gaze to Qi Chong's subordinates behind him: "Your brother here is quite efficient. What's his name?"

"Stationmaster."

The somewhat rough-looking man said in a deep voice, "My name is A-Le. I used to work on a farm with Brother Qi, raising pigs. Later, I left the farm to join Brother Qi."

"Raising pigs?"

"Uh-huh."

"can."

Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh this time. One of the brothers was a farmer and the other was an animal husbander, which made him a perfect match.

"From now on, you will be in charge of the livestock in the camp. There's nothing for you to raise yet. You'll work with your brother Qi in farming for now, and you'll take charge of the livestock later."

"I'll listen to the stationmaster."

"These fruits and the strange materials unloaded yesterday will be placed in the wooden house next door later."

"okay."

He took out two strange stones and built a wooden house in the camp outside the city wall, intending to use it as a warehouse in the future.

Last night, a number of mantises were killed.

Its mantis-like arms are a type of cunning material.

It can be used for forging.

He doesn't need it right now, but he can collect it and use it later.

It would take some time to pick them all, so Chen Fan didn't wait any longer. He turned and walked towards the wooden house, preparing to go to sleep and deal with it after he woke up.

Push the door open and enter.

With the support of the "1.0 heating system", the house is extremely warm with no chill in the slightest. It is still a bit damp, but the dampness has lessened considerably.

He caught a glimpse of the "Rainy Season Countdown Calendar" on the wall, now crossed out again, smiled, and said nothing.

It must have been Zhou Mo who made the mark before leaving home.

This guy.
It's quite a ritual.

"Brother Qi."

In the camp's farmland, Ah Le carefully picked the rain-soaked fruit while saying in a muffled voice, "Yesterday we didn't complete the mission and we also lost the Ghost Skin Map. Did the station chief scold you this morning? When I woke up, I saw you guys talking on the city wall, but I didn't dare to go up."

"No."

Qi Chong shook his head: "But I probably won't be allowed to do fieldwork anymore. You heard it just now, the station chief told me to be in charge of this farmland from now on."

“Isn’t this good? I think farming is much safer than fieldwork. We almost didn’t make it back yesterday. Besides, Brother Qi, you’re good at farming.”

"But I joined the Wild Wolf Gang because I thought farming was a dead-end job, and now I'm farming again. Didn't you also think raising pigs was a dead-end job, so you came to join me?"

Qi Chong sighed helplessly. He really wanted to make a name for himself, otherwise he wouldn't have become the stationmaster. Being a stationmaster is not a safe job, but he realized that he didn't seem to have the ability to do so.

"No."

Ah Le shook his head: "I never thought raising pigs was a dead-end job. Raising pigs is a technical job. The pigs I raise are always the heaviest when they are ready for market, and the survival rate of the piglets is also the highest. With this skill, I will never go hungry, no matter where I go."

"It's just that after you left, Brother Qi, there was no one to talk to, and I felt a bit lonely, so I came to find you, Brother Qi."

"Moreover, this time farming is different from farming before."

"Brother Qi, who was your boss before?"

"A junior manager at a farm under the Pingtian Chamber of Commerce."

"now what?"

"An architect"

"What you do is not important, who you do it with is important."

While busy, Ah Le said in a deep voice, "Following the right person leads to promotion, doing the right thing leads to wealth. Following the right person and doing the right thing is the key to promotion and wealth."

"."

Qi Chong froze on the spot, staring blankly at the busy Ah Le. After a long while, he finally came back to his senses. All the thoughts in his mind suddenly became clear as if enlightened. He felt full of energy. He had never been so energetic about farming in his life. He grinned and cursed.

"you boy"

"You know what, if the camp can survive the rainy season and the farmland gets bigger and bigger, wouldn't my rank be much higher than the Wild Wolf Gang's station chief?"

"That must be much, much bigger."

"Then wouldn't you also be able to become a high-ranking official?"

"hey-hey."

Seeing that Brother Qi had come to terms with it, Ah Le smiled sheepishly.

"Farming brings honor to the family, raising pigs brings glory to the ancestors, and the two of us together bring glory to our ancestors."
