Lin Chu asked the waiter about the physical characteristics of the two men.

The waiter’s skull-like face, which was difficult to read, seemed to show a hint of disdain for a moment.

“The two men are very short, their hair is uneven, and they’re quite ugly. I don’t like them,” the waiter described.

Hearing the description, Lin Chu couldn’t help but smile.

After laughing, she placed her hand on the windowsill, lightly tapping her fingers, her eyes narrowing slightly.

It was indeed the two brothers Jiang Da and Jiang Er.

She wasn’t surprised at all.

Once the two brothers learned that she was staying here, they had already begun to suspect her involvement in the missing supplies.

She had expected them to come looking for her eventually.

Last night, she had asked the waiter to come out of the shelter specifically to guard against them.

Her windows and door locks had been modified to prevent them from being easily opened. Ordinary lockpicking would be ineffective.

As long as they didn’t break the window glass.

Now that this residential area was filled with survivors, if the intruders had any sense, they wouldn’t smash the windows.

Otherwise, once the window was broken, their presence would be exposed, and they wouldn’t stand a chance.

But when Lin Chu thought about Jiang Er, the impulsive one, she realized she couldn’t always think of him as rational.

That was why she had the waiter stay on guard.

“What did they do?”

Upon hearing Lin Chu’s question, the waiter seemed to perk up, and Lin Chu could see the skull-like head rise in slight joy.

“After they arrived, they tried to open the windows,” the waiter continued.

“But they couldn’t.”

“They tried all the windows downstairs and were exhausted but still couldn’t open any of them.”

“The foolish younger brother wanted to throw a stone at the window, but his older brother stopped him.”

When Lin Chu heard the waiter call Jiang Er “foolish,” she couldn’t hold back a smile again.

Even a robot with the intelligence of an eight-year-old was calling him a fool. Jiang Er really was beyond saving.

“When they couldn’t open the windows, they tried to pick the locks, but couldn’t do that either, so they went back to try the windows again.”

Of course, they still couldn’t get the windows open.

The system had already indicated that it was impossible to break the locks, so they definitely couldn’t.

“Did they give up just like that?” Lin Chu asked.

The waiter shook its head.

“They saw the attic window.”

Just as Lin Chu had suspected.

She nodded, signaling the waiter to continue.

“The older brother had the foolish younger brother hold him up, and he climbed up the downspout to reach the attic window.”

“When the waiter saw him climb up and pressed his face against the attic window, he fell down.”

“They made quite a commotion. Someone opened a window and yelled at them. They even claimed there were ghosts and shouted for help, but no one paid attention to them. In the end, they ran off in disgrace.”

Hearing the last part of the waiter’s report, Lin Chu shook her head with a smile.

The waiter had certainly made them think they were dealing with a ghost.

Who wouldn’t be terrified if they saw a skull appear behind a window in the middle of the night?

Not to mention, Jiang Da and Jiang Er already had their own guilty consciences.

That scare would probably be enough to keep them away for a long time.

“Well done, waiter,” Lin Chu praised.

The waiter nodded vigorously.

Lin Chu patted its shoulder and then turned to submit the mud she had collected to the system.

After receiving the reward, she checked the safety of the house one last time. Confirming there were no issues, she and the waiter returned to the shelter.

It had been a night since she had returned, and the tomato vines in the yard had grown significantly taller, almost reaching her calves. Several lettuce leaves had grown large enough to be harvested.

Lin Chu hadn’t had breakfast yet. After washing her hands and changing into her patient uniform, she took a bowl and went out to harvest a few fresh lettuce leaves from the garden.

After washing them thoroughly, she took a bite. The crisp and refreshing taste, with a slight sweetness, made her feel like it was even more delicious than the varieties she had tasted in her original world.

She wasn’t sure if it was the seeds or the water that made the difference.

Next, she took out some broccoli and cherry tomatoes from her space and mixed them into a vegetable salad using some sesame dressing she had found in her neighbor’s house.

She then added some bread and milk, enjoying a simple breakfast.

In the front yard, she had planted eight lettuce plants, but for this meal, she had harvested less than one plant’s worth of leaves.

There were still seven full, fresh lettuce plants left.

As long as the core of the lettuce remained, it would continue to grow leaves without needing to be replanted. This made lettuce the most cost-effective vegetable for Lin Chu to grow at the moment.

The taste of the lettuce she harvested was perfect for the present.

After finishing her breakfast, Lin Chu went back to the garden to harvest the remaining lettuce, leaving only the central stalks.

She washed the harvested lettuce and divided them into meal-sized portions before storing them in her space.

Her space was now filled with a lot of items, both numerous and varied.

For items that didn’t require refrigeration, Lin Chu tried to store them in her backpack space.

For the items that needed to be kept fresh or warm, she used her remaining two shelves to organize and categorize them in the space.

Although the space wouldn’t cause odors to mix, Lin Chu still made an effort to separate the food from other supplies, using boxed medicines as dividers between them.

After finishing with the lettuce, Lin Chu took out some small onions she had swapped from the base. She cut off the green parts and kept the white bulbs.

She then asked the waiter to clear a small corner in the garden where she could plant the small onion bulbs in the soil, watering them with yellow water.

Small onions were easy to grow. When her mother was still in good health, she often grew a pot of them on the balcony.

When they needed some for cooking, she would ask Lin Chu to pick a few from the balcony.

Thinking back to those times, Lin Chu couldn’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia.

She shook her head to dismiss the memories that had surfaced.

Next, she took out some potatoes from her space, took four of them, and instructed the waiter to cut them in half.

Then, she dug through the space to find four large flowerpots she had collected from the residential building.

After filling the pots with soil, Lin Chu dug two holes in each pot, placed the halved potatoes with the cut sides facing down, covered them with soil, and watered them with muddy water.

The waiter, following her example, quickly completed the task with another flowerpot.

The two of them continued planting one more pot each in the same manner.

Normally, potatoes take about three months to harvest, but with the water from the flooded world, the growth of the potatoes was accelerated. Lin Chu estimated that in just a month, she would be able to enjoy her own potatoes.

For the potato planting, Lin Chu used large rectangular flowerpots.

With four large flowerpots of potatoes taking up some space in the front yard, she used the excuse of planting to divert Wang Rui’s attention. She placed them on the rooftop.

Having finished everything, Lin Chu felt quite tired.

After staying up all night, she hadn’t had much rest, and even someone as strong as her was beginning to feel sleepy.

She returned to the shelter, washed the dirt off her hands, and went back to her room to catch up on some much-needed sleep.

She slept soundly.

It wasn’t until a knock on the door woke her up.
