[This skill is an active skill. Once triggered, it will last for 24 hours, and the cooldown time is also 24 hours (please use it with caution)]
Great, gained a new skill.
Anjiu nodded with satisfaction, closed them one by one, and looked at the last prompt that popped up.
[Gift from the Patriarch: Portable Klein Faucet]
[Item description: Small in size, comfortable to the touch, looks like an ordinary old-fashioned copper faucet, but it has a huge memory and can store unlimited water resources]
[Note: Water resources need to be stored spontaneously]
As she finished reading the message, a golden faucet appeared in her palm.
It feels slightly cool to the touch, not too big, just the right size to hold.
There are scratches on it from use, but the water outlet is clean.
Anjiu turned the switch, and a hollow sound of water being sucked in came from inside.
Where to put the water?
There is no water inlet and no instructions for use.
It shouldn't be too difficult though.
Getting out of bed quietly, Anjiu walked to the table, picked up the cup and filled it with water, then tried to insert the bottom of the faucet into the water.
A golden light flashed from the faucet, and the water in the cup disappeared in a second.
...So fast?
Anjiu turned the switch, and this time a thin stream of water flowed out from the outlet. When the cup was full, the sound of empty water was heard from the faucet again.
She picked up the cup and smelled it. There was no strange smell and the taste was not changed.
That’s great, I don’t have to worry about water resources anymore!
If she were to go to another world, she could also collect drinking water as much as she wanted without having to worry about taking up space!
Patriarch...thank you.
In the other world, Anjiu used the water in his own space and completely forgot how the patriarch usually solved the water problem.
Even the task of collecting supplies for the patriarch was abandoned due to concerns that the bottled drinking water on the seabed might go bad.
Now it seems that the patriarch does have his own way.
For example, this Klein faucet in front of you.
There are signs of use on it, indicating that the patriarch is currently using it or has used it before.
He didn't seem angry.
Anjiu's mood began to improve. After playing with the faucet for a few times, he began to work on transferring the water resources in the house.
The small restaurant requires a large amount of water, so the white bucket at home is always kept full of water.
There was a stove burning in the house, and the water in it had not frozen all winter, not to mention that winter was over now and the weather was getting warmer day by day.
Open the lid, clean the faucet with wine, measure the depth, and then just throw it in.
A golden light flashed on the faucet again, and the water level in the bucket dropped visibly.
A full bucket of water can be absorbed in just a dozen seconds.
Pu Huai had said before that the Hive would soon face a war due to high-level crystal ore, and his advice was not to keep any contribution points.
Although we don’t know when the war will break out, the importance of high-level crystals can be seen from the strict official management.
As soon as the looting war begins, supplies will inevitably be in short supply, and in the end, won’t it be these low-class citizens who will suffer?
If I still have contribution points, I'm afraid I won't even be able to buy anything by then...
Now she had enough supplies in her space, the only thing missing was drinking water, and the Klein faucet could just solve her urgent problem.
She could also use the restaurant's reputation to buy more water.
The Klein faucet has a huge memory and can store unlimited water. Even if you use all your contribution points to buy water, there is no problem.
There was also another urgent matter, which was that she had to go down to the mine as soon as possible and absorb as many crystals as possible before the snatching war occurred. Otherwise, after deducting the 500 square meters needed for grandma to enter the space, there would only be more than 200 square meters left.
Although it looks like a lot, we still have to collect supplies. With such a small area, if we encounter a resource-rich alien world, we can only watch and worry.
If you don't work hard now, you will regret it when you need it.
While thinking, Anjiu put on his down jacket, pulled the zipper as high as possible, and went out with a bucket to buy water - he would have to wait for notification before going to the mine, so he stocked up on water first.
Outside the water room.
She looked at the slowly rising water level in the bucket and was tempted to throw the tap in.
Unfortunately, she couldn't control the absorption speed of the faucet, nor could she retract the space remotely. If she was discovered, it would be easy for something to get into trouble, so she could only run back and forth.
The staff were all numb.
Just after I sat down on the stool and rested for a while, I heard another knock on the glass. I looked up and immediately said angrily, "Why are you here again? Didn't you just get a bucket of water?"
"Unlucky, I didn't hold on tight when I was in the elevator, and it spilled. But I have to get a few more buckets of water today, because the store uses a lot of it." An Jiu smiled and handed the things in his hand in, "Sorry to bother you, how about you help me with the billing and I can get the water pipe myself?"
The staff member was about to look at her, but out of the corner of his eye he saw her push in a round iron box. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a can of braised pork!
I didn’t expect to receive gifts here!
The staff member's eyes flickered, but his expression didn't change. He didn't even glance at the can. He just raised his chin impatiently and said, "Okay, go and connect the water pipe yourself. When you're done, come in and scan the identification code. Don't disturb me. I have to take a nap."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Anjiu didn't care about his attitude, pulled the water pipe to the door and placed it next to the bucket.
After the billing for water began, Anjiu pretended to look back casually. The staff member who was sleeping on the table had his eyes narrowed and was staring at her through his eyelashes.
It seems that giving gifts doesn’t work for everyone…
Anjiu retracted his gaze and completely gave up the idea of throwing the faucet in.
But canned food can’t be given away for free. After you deliver this bucket, come back in half an hour!
On the second day after stockpiling water, Anjiu received news of going down to the mine.
Before leaving, she said goodbye to her grandmother and told her not to worry if she didn't come back in the evening.
"But if someone asks you, grandma, just say I went home. You don't need to say anything else. Just say you know nothing."
Grandma warned: "You must pay attention to your own safety and come back safely!"
"Got it." An Jiu was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something, "Grandma, remember to fetch a bucket of water today. The bucket is empty."
"Didn't we just fill a bucket yesterday?" Grandma looked back and said, "Okay, I'll be there in a minute. Go slowly!"
Anjiu gave an OK gesture, closed the door and left.
Now that the weather is warmer, residents are beginning to appear on the platform again.
Everyone is waiting for the new year's opening meeting. In order to grab the front row, they come here early and find a good seat.
But this year is different from previous years - I haven’t been hungry this winter.
Anjiu was going to take the elevator downstairs, so naturally he had to pass by them.
Now that she has experienced several different worlds, she is no longer the timid girl who dared to observe secretly to avoid getting into trouble when she first arrived.
She walked calmly through their gazes.
While waiting for the elevator to come up, a middle-aged man sitting next to her took the initiative to greet her.
"Aren't you going to work?"
An Jiu lowered his eyes and looked. He had never seen this person before.
Seeing that she didn't want to pay attention to him, the middle-aged man said, "I always go to your grandmother's house for dinner this winter. You rarely show up, so it's normal that you haven't seen me, but your grandmother knows."
Anjiu looked at him again.
He smiled and said, "I think you are Grandma An's granddaughter. I just want to say hello to you. Don't be afraid. Are you going to work? That's great. You don't have to wait here like us... We're here. Go get busy. Be careful."
He kept waving at Anjiu until the floor completely blocked his view.
"you know?"
When An Jiu heard Pu Huai's low voice, he realized that he had appeared on his shoulder without him noticing.
"How come you're growing taller but not gaining weight? You're still so light and fluttery."
She didn't even notice.
"That's not important." Pu Huai pinched her earlobe, "Do you know that person just now?"
"No, he said he always went to grandma's house for dinner. I guess he took the initiative to talk to me for grandma's sake. You slept for a long time."
He has been sleeping since yesterday afternoon and this morning.
Last night, Anjiu was afraid that he would turn over and crush him in his sleep, so she took him back to her own space and found some soft clothes to use as a bed for him.
When I picked him up, he didn't wake up. If I got closer, I could hear his soft snoring.
But she was so cute that she secretly stroked her little face several times.
"I've been too tired these days." Pu Huai rubbed his neck, and seeing that she reacted normally, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Thank you for your hard work." Anjiu said, "I'm thinking of staying down there tonight and collecting more crystals to expand the area."
