Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 180: 180 task

Each person wasted ten bullets, but they were completely capable of handling it now.

This stuff must be turned in when we get back, in case they decide to keep it for themselves.

But Tan Shaoting didn’t think so; he felt this wasn’t as useful as an electric baton.

A staff member ran over to tell them that the train over there was ready to depart. So the two of them left together.

With big and small bags, the two bags of guns and money they brought over were not conspicuous.

The two of them were still assigned to a carriage.

They divided the guns and bullets, each keeping theirs. All the money went to Tan Shaoting.

Yuanyuan found it quite amusing. This person now wasn’t even competing with her to go into the fields to harvest grain.

She didn’t think there would be any danger this time. So she wasn’t too nervous.

”I still won’t show myself. You go directly to find Ivanov.

I’ll get off halfway, just going over the few places we harvested grain last year.”

”Alright, you just get off openly.”

Yuanyuan nodded.

Tan Shaoting went to find Hu Wenzheng. He was quite surprised after hearing Tan Shaoting’s words.

”Getting off the train so quickly, won’t there be danger?”

”I just don’t want the two of us together, and I also need to investigate the whereabouts of the two people who came last time.”

Hu Wenzheng just nodded, even though they looked like two young kids, they really couldn’t be underestimated.

Yuanyuan safely got off the train with her luggage after a day.

Once the train left, in the wilderness, she packed up everything in her hands and brought out the bicycle. This should be much faster than walking. It would be great if there was a car.

Yuanyuan knew that her idea was simply unrealistic.

She headed towards the plot of land where there was the most wheat harvested last time.

This year’s wheat seemed to be more than last year’s. Yuanyuan secretly thought, could this be saved for me?

Actually, she guessed right. Originally, the land wasn’t harvested last year. In spring, when they came to check, they found that their wheat had actually been harvested. The farm owner was very angry at the time.

But when he saw those two gold bars, he was only left with happiness. Those gold bars were worth much more than wheat.

So this year, they specifically reserved several dozen more acres of wheat.

Yuanyuan stood at the edge of the field. It was already night, the visibility wasn’t great, but it didn’t affect her too much.

So she started harvesting the wheat. When she felt a headache, she drank Spiritual Spring Water and rested for a while. She kept repeating these actions.

She stayed there for two days and a night, gathered all the wheat, and only ate when hungry, not a second was wasted.

After she finished, she left behind two gold bars and departed.

It was still night; the path she had to take now couldn’t accommodate a bicycle, so she had to walk.

”I’m really exhausted.” Yuanyuan muttered as she walked.

To be honest, it was quite lonely, repeating the same actions for such a long time, with no one to talk to.

When she reached another field, it was already past five in the morning the next day, too tired to move. She directly went into space to take a bath and sleep.

When she woke up again, it was another full day of energy.

From nine in the morning, it took her three days and two nights to finish harvesting this time.

Yuanyuan estimated that these two fields had at least a hundred thousand pounds of wheat.

In fact, this was already a lot. But there was a lot of wheat to be harvested this time, and it was unclear if the farm owner would not supply more. So she needed to keep collecting.

On Tan Shaoting’s end, after Yuanyuan left, he became much more silent. He was really worried about her. But there was no other way, those two missing people were likely in trouble.

This way, that girl was much safer outside.

With that girl’s skills, there wouldn’t be any danger, though ultimately, he was still uneasy.

After three days, Tan Shaoting also arrived at his stop. After greeting, he carried his luggage and bag and left.

Since they were outside, keeping this stuff was somewhat safer.

He found Ivanov again.

”Tan Shaoting? Why are you here?”

”Ivanov, I’m here to ask for your help this time.”

”Is it about the grain again?”

Tan Shaoting nodded. ”Yes, last year we almost had no harvest. This time they pooled money for me to come over.”

”It’s not easy, the farm owners here are all hoarding grain this year.”

”Then please help me ask around. It’s a lot more than last year.”

”Alright, I’ll ask, but I can’t guarantee anything.”

”Okay, thank you.”

”Tan Shaoting, you should stay at my place, by the way, why didn’t Yuanyuan come over?”

”We will meet here.”

The next day, instead of waiting for Ivanov, Tan Shaoting went to the bank himself to exchange the local currency.

Then he wandered around. He had handled the pork last year, so he knew the address.

He went to the slaughterhouse, negotiated with them, and got the same price as last year. Tan Shaoting directly ordered a hundred pigs, plus two thousand pounds of lard and suet. He paid a deposit, and would come to pick them up in five days.

This task was considered finished. The pork wasn’t intended for the public but for themselves.

He had met the farm owner from last year. Zhang Chunsheng’s intention was they could do without meat, but not without grain.

Now that he entrusted the task to Ivanov, he still awaited his news.

He wandered the streets, thinking it would be great if he could hear news about those two people.

Tan Shaoting felt someone following him, so he turned into an empty alley and stopped.

Several people surrounded him. Tan Shaoting’s language skills were decent, so he heard them say that they thought he didn’t understand their language.

”Just like those two people, they must have a lot of money on them.”

Tan Shaoting knew he was about to learn the fate of the two who came before.

”Better take him back, it’s not safe here.”

Hearing their gibberish, Tan Shaoting decided to obediently go with them this time.

No matter if those two were dead or alive, he would know once he got information.

He now carried a leather bag with his clothes and supplies; the one with money had been put away long ago.

These four people pressed on Tan Shaoting’s shoulders. Because of the language barrier, they said nothing. Their actions were very clear, indicating he should follow them and leave.

”This one is more obedient than those two.”

They kept walking, heading out of town.

Tan Shaoting cooperated fully, staying among them.

After walking for some time, they got into a black car.

They were overly confident, so they didn’t guard against Tan Shaoting, thinking he couldn’t possibly try to escape, especially now that they were in the car. Where could he run to?

The car drove for nearly an hour before reaching a farm.

Now Tan Shaoting was pleased. This is great. It seems he could save quite a bit of money; the little girl would be happy.
