Free Web NovelChapter 17: Chapter 17 Overwhelming surprises.
Be gentle sweetheart and of course you can name them but that wouldn’t be now," Ivy reminded her with a smile.
Then she clapped her hands lightly.
"Alright, girls...it’s time to farm!"
She grabbed a hoe, the seeds already arranged by the system.
With her daughters beside her, Ivy began planting while Lila and Aria helped with the watering slightly.
Vegetables were planted neatly on the left side, while fruit trees were spaced out on the right.
The work should have been exhausting for Ivy since she was even pregnant but it wasn’t.
Thanks to the system, her body felt light, strong... almost limitless. Her movements were faster, more precise.
She couldn’t allow the system to do it even though she knew it could. She just wanted to do it with her daughters.
Before she even realized it, she was done.
Ivy paused, staring at the neatly planted rows in slight disbelief.
That was... fast.
Much faster than anything she could have done before. freёweɓnovel.com
Even Aria and Lila who turned their gazes away slightly were shocked the moment they turned their gazes back to Ivy and saw that she was done.

So... what’s next, system?" Ivy asked, a smile still lingering on her face as she began to walk around the air raid shelter, surveying her surroundings with satisfaction and anticipation.
Just then, her gaze fell on the spring-fed well she had discovered the first time she purchased the air raid shelter. She remembered how excited she had been, only to realize that water wasn’t coming out. For the past few days, she had continued to buy water just to cater to herself and her children.
"I was glad when I discovered this well... and now what, system? Water isn’t even coming out?" Ivy murmured under her breath, heaving a heavy sigh as she rested a hand on her waist. "I need water for everything. If I want to keep my farming going too...I need water."
Ding!
{You should clean the well. There’s no way water could flow in while the area it’s meant to flow from is being covered by debris.}
{Clear all the debris, and a mountain spring well will be activated immediately.}
"Really?" Ivy raised an eyebrow, excitement lighting up her face. She paused for a moment, then reminded herself that there was no need to doubt the system.
She had never doubted it anyway. Only a fool would after everything it had done for her.
Bending down, she peered into the well and immediately spotted debris scattered everywhere.
Help to clean it system. She thought inwardly and without wasting a second, glowing hands materialized in the well, painstaking work of cleaning and weeding, removing everything until the well was entirely clear.
"Perfect."
Ivy waited in anticipation as the system performed its wonders and soon it was done while the hands disappeared into thin air.
Moments later, she gasped in amazement as water began flowing into the well....pure, crystal-clear, and abundant.
Ding!
{Mountain spring water activated.}
{Water can now flow through the available pipes connected to your shelter; no need to rely on water from other companies.}
"That’s incredible!" Ivy exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over as she cupped the water in her hands which were full to the brim and let it run through her fingers, marveling at how pure it was. "There’s water now girls! The taps and shower mommy fixed had water in it now!
"Really?!" Lila and Aria chorused with excitement etched on their faces as they ran up to Ivy....their outfits, hands and even part of their faces dirty due to touching of soil.
"I want to take a shower!" Aria voiced out jumping excitedly.
"Me too." Lila added.
"Go ahead girls. Mommy will join you soon."
And just like that...the girls ran into the shelter giggling excitedly.
Ding!
{Nutrient-rich soil activated with 100x yield and 10x growth speed.}
"What?! Are you kidding me right now?!" Ivy shouted, her voice a mix of disbelief and exhilaration.
{Host can plant either in the system space or shelter space. Even a single seed will yield 100 times its normal harvest, and growth speed will be ten times faster.}
{You can consider one day in the system equivalent to a year on Earth, combined with the 10x growth acceleration. For example, a yam that normally takes a year to grow will mature in just one day.}
"Are you for real right now?! That’s... that’s amazing!" Ivy cheered, jumping slightly in excitement.
And in response to her question...the seeds she just planted soon grew...the apples ripe, the vegetables green...
Just before she could get lost in her happiness, she received a notification from several delivery companies about a few smaller orders she had placed....foods for her children and herself, before the main bulk shopping the following day.
"I’ll be right back here. Seal the door to protect my children."
With that, she made her way to the address she had given and extracted all the goods ordered into her system before heading straight to the farmhouse she was using as a temporary warehouse to begin storing everything.
Rice...beans ... potatoes...
Drinks...
Fruits ..
Snacks....
She stored everything separately.
Even though she had only purchased a few small items, she noticed the warehouse was already feeling cramped.
Mirroring her worry...
Ding!
{Warehouse upgraded into a super storage facility.}
{All foods will remain fresh indefinitely, host.}
{You do not need to worry about spoilage, no matter how long the apocalypse lasts.}
Ivy stood in the middle of the newly expanded warehouse, her eyes widening in astonishment as the space had grown longer and wider, accommodating far more than she had imagined.
"This... this is incredible, system!" Ivy breathed out in awe. And as if that weren’t enough, the warehouse doors transformed into reinforced, blast proof iris doors, prompting Ivy to let out an even louder gasp of surprise.
