Volume 2 The more labor you bring, the greater your responsibility Chapter 10: One Week Later (Part 1)
A week later.
In a pink room at the Diaoyutai on the second floor, there came the ambiguous voices of a man and a woman:
Woman: “Loosen it or not?”
Shen Jin: “Don’t let go!”
Shen Jin: "Okay, you can take this pair of cotton shoes, next one!"
[Ding~! Daily task "Psychological counseling" progress: 4/5]
Shen Jin's "psychological counseling room" has been open for a week. In order to better help the people in the settlement with psychological counseling, Shen Jin specially opened a room at his Diaoyutai on the second floor. It is private and warm, very suitable for people to open up.
The woman had a reluctant expression on her face, and she looked back every few steps, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Seeing that Shen Jin still had things to do, she walked out gracefully, but ripples of emotion were rising in her heart.
Shen Jin, as the leader of the settlement and a powerful superhuman, actually provided psychological counseling to them personally every day this week!
Not to mention that it has been four months since the apocalypse. Even before the apocalypse, you had to make an appointment and pay for seeing a psychologist!
And Shen Jin!
In order to soothe the psychological trauma of these eight girls, he even risked his life to become their most caring male best friend!
This feeling...
"Oh no, is this what it feels like to be in love?"
The woman who just left was called Zheng Ying. Before the end of the world, she was a college student at D City University of Science and Technology.
After several months of darkness, she wanted to die, but she was too timid to commit suicide, so she endured the inhuman abuse silently. Every day, her mind echoed the first month of the end of the world. On the radio with a bad signal, the government officials said in a strong and generous voice: "We will rescue all our compatriots! No one will be left behind! Every millisecond counts!"
She believed it.
At that time... she was looking forward to it every day, the person who would open the door would be wearing camouflage military uniform, with a warm smile on his face, stretch out a pair of big hands, and save her from the water and fire.
She also wanted to see those beasts being shot with her own eyes!
Finally, she waited for the long-lost light. Although he was not wearing camouflage uniforms, the man who opened the door that day was smiling. His head seemed to be shining with divine light. He chopped off the cold dog chains with a few swords and saved them. He gave them a new house, new quilts, new cotton clothes, and...human food. By the way, yesterday I saw myself picking scallops at the beach and got my feet pricked. Today, I specially gave myself a pair of cotton shoes. "If I could go back to before the end of the world... when I was still a clean girl... I would definitely find you and chase you! Then... I would be sick of you for the rest of my life!"
Zheng Ying was a girl who loved to fantasize. She also relied on fantasy to get through those days. Now that she has finally gotten her wish, she dare not fight for what she fantasized about...
After Shen Jin finished talking to the last girl, the system's voice came into his mind:
[Ding~! Daily task: "Psychological counseling" has been completed, reward World Coin × 1]
“Ah~!”
Shen Jin stretched, walked out , walked to the west side of Diaoyutai to look at the sea.
Shen Jin used the landing point where the two of them were teleported as the foundation and built a 5-meter-high second-floor platform, which he named Diaoyutai.
The entire structure is made of [round stones]. The stairs are located in the original farmyard. The platform is 20 meters wide and 20 meters long, with a total space of 400 square meters. It is supported by 20 stone pillars underneath, which is strong enough. In addition to the psychological counseling room, the "Diaoyutai" naturally has a place for fishing. It extends 5 meters into the sea to the west, like a protruding chicken... leg on the entire platform?
There were several fishing rods and a box there. Shen Jin would go fishing occasionally, but most of the time it was the women who fished. Every time they caught a fish, they would be happy for a long time. This also healed their psychological trauma in another way. Of course, Shen Jin did not build this place just because he loved drinking fish soup, definitely not!
The edge of the entire second floor platform was surrounded by a [wooden fence]. At a height of more than 1 meter, it was almost impossible to accidentally fall unless you jumped down intentionally. This was also Shen Jin's experience. Sometimes when he was building something, his feet would suddenly be suspended in the air...
At that moment, I felt helpless, pitiful, weak... it hurt!
Therefore, wooden fences are still necessary!
He and Shang Qian are pseudo-transcendents. They wouldn't be injured if they fell from a height of 5 meters. But if ordinary people fell...
Either injured or disabled.
In the middle of Diaoyutai, where the sun shines all day, there are 10 dark blue square objects placed one meter apart. A closer look reveals that the dark blue shells are actually solar panels!
【Solar distillation machine】
The synthesis of this thing requires [Basic Machine Shell] × 8, [Universal Fluid Unit] × 2, and [Glass] × 5. The [Basic Machine Shell] is synthesized from 8 [Iron Sheets], and the [Universal Fluid Unit] is composed of 4 [Tin Shells] and 1 [Glass Plate]. The synthesis is very simple.
Shen Jin did not have enough iron ingots. Although he had drawn two sets of [Iron Ingots] through the "Resource Gift Pack" these days, he also needed other equipment, so he only made 10 of these things. The [Solar Distillation Machine] was still a cube, with five sides all covered with solar panels. It could fully absorb solar energy, purify seawater into [distilled water], and filter out the impurities in it. The impurities contained a lot of salt, but this was coarse salt, which could not be eaten without processing. The metal content in it was too high, and it was easy to get into trouble if eaten. Of course, if your body really lacks salt, you can still lick it in small amounts.
[Solar distillation machine] On sunny days, each machine can purify 5kg of [distilled water] a day, and 10 machines can produce 50kg of water a day.
It can fully meet everyone's drinking water needs, and there is even excess water for everyone to wash. These days, the women have washed themselves clean, and except for some scars, they have returned to normal appearance.
Shen Jin stores 10kg of distilled water every day as a backup resource. For this purpose, he specially made a set of [Universal Fluid Units]. One [Universal Fluid Unit] can store 1kg of water and is easy to carry. At least it is much more convenient than using [Iron Buckets] to hold water. [Iron Buckets] not only consume a large amount of [Iron Ingots], each of them also occupies one of Shen Jin's package grids, while [Universal Fluid Units] can be stacked up to 64 and are cheap to synthesize. These days, his resource package has opened 3 sets of [Tin Ingots], so he doesn't have to worry about production issues at all.
Today, Shen Jin has handed over the operation of 10 solar distillers to a few women. They are responsible for drawing up the sea water, taking out the distilled water and coarse salt in it, collecting them together, and carrying down the buckets filled with water for everyone to use.
Every night, Shen Jin used his cube-forming ability to collect the remaining water and coarse salt.
"It seems that having more people does help!"
With so many machines and before automation was achieved, if Shen Jin had to do everything by himself, he wouldn't have to go out to work every day. The women also had an important activity every day: picking up "garbage" on the beach. It was so much fun. A group of people could find a lot of seafood, including oysters, scallops, small crabs, small fish, octopus, etc., when they picked up garbage on the beach in the morning.
In the four months since the end of the world, human impact on the environment has dropped to freezing point, and the ecological environment has been greatly restored. Fishing has decreased, and some fisheries are full of crabs, shrimps, and fish. The nets have been broken and they have run away. The sea has endless resources, and now it gives everyone seafood that can replenish salt, which has become an important part of everyone's diet.
Miao Shubai took a glass cube from Shen Jin, opened one side, picked up many colorful shells and starfish and put them in it. It looked very beautiful. There was also a big lively crab inside!
Then he gave it to Shen Jin and placed it in the psychological counseling room, hoping that his life would be rich and colorful.
Shen Jin was moved at that time. Miao Shubai fell into darkness but was not desperate. She was covered with scars but still loved the world with all her heart. He liked this little girl a little.
Then……
I steamed the big crabs in the evening and ate three big bowls of rice with tears in my eyes.
