"Yanyan, the ingredients in the forest in Lingyuan City are almost exhausted, where can we find the ingredients next time?" No. 5 said in a rare depressed mood.

Although the daily number of customers in the snack bar has almost stabilized, the base is still relatively large, so the ingredients consumed are also very large. It is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive to find ingredients from other forests. And there will always be a day when the search is over, and the source of ingredients will still be cut off.

Even if you grow it yourself, it will take a certain amount of time from planting to the maturity of these ingredients. Even with systematic fattening and blessing, it will still take a long time, and it will not be able to supply snack bars.

But if the system space is opened, then all problems will be solved, it's just...

It's just that it is not so easy to upgrade the system to level ten. The amount of tasks required to be done is huge, and the amount of tasks required for each level is almost doubled. It's the food needed for the mission, but it's been so long, but I still haven't been able to upgrade to level eight, and there is still a long way to go before the upgrade

When Mu Yan heard this, his small face wrinkled together, apparently also very distressed by this problem.

If the ingredients in the snack bar are reduced, the system upgrade will be further away, and the system farm will be further away, but if it is not reduced, some supplies will not be available, which is simply a bad cycle.

"It would be great if everyone could grow it, and then they would be able to buy ingredients from others." Mu Yan said casually.

He thought of his previous life. At that time, every household could grow plants. As long as there was enough money, there would be no shortage of food and vegetables, and snack bars could purchase unlimited food.

It's a pity that they have money now, but they have nowhere to buy the vegetables and food they need. It would be great if everyone here could grow them, so that they can have a lot of food.

Mu Yan thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly to No. 5: "No. 5, why don't I teach you how to plant it? After everyone has planted it, there will be a lot of food. When the time comes, there will be a lot of food in the snack bar. The ingredients can be solved."

The more Mu Yan thought about it, the more he felt that his proposal was really great. This would not only solve the problem of the snack bar, but also allow everyone to have a deeper understanding of these vegetables and grains. When the time comes, they can also make delicious food by themselves. Isn't it better to promote food?

Number five looked at the excited Mu Yan, not knowing what to say.

Although it also felt that this proposal sounded very good, it intuitively felt that something was wrong, but it couldn't figure out what it was.

"I'll go to Ah Chen to discuss it, and when the time comes, I will teach the villagers to plant together." Mu Yan was still immersed in the joy of his proposal, didn't notice anything unusual about No. 5, and ran out excitedly.

"Aww, aww, dad, why did you drop the ball?

The poor little tiger was forgotten by the excited father.

"Okay, stop barking, he is so excited, he probably can't hear it." No. 5 said quietly to the little tiger.

"Roar!" The little tiger bared his teeth and grinned at number five.

He didn't forget that this little thing followed Dad every day, sometimes longer than he stayed with Dad, he was simply the number one enemy of Qiuqiu!

No. 5 flew in mid-air, teasing the little tiger with great interest, watching the little tiger jump up and down, and immediately forgot about the abnormal thoughts before.

Logically speaking, other than the host, no one else could discover the existence of No. 5, even the host's son, but Qiuqiu was an exception.

Qiuqiu is the child of Mu Yan and Mu Chen, and Mu Chen has also been bound by Mu Yan to become a system partner, both of them can see No. It is possible to be able to see the existence of No. 5, even if it is not bound to the system.

Just as No. 5 and Little Tiger were arguing back and forth, Mu Yan hurried in from the outside with a panicked look on his face.

"Yanyan, what's the matter?" Even the usually dull No. 5 felt the panic from Muyan. "Ah Chen is gone, gone." Mu Yan said in panic.

It turned out that after Mu Yan left the house, he went straight to the snack bar, but at this time the snack bar had closed.

Generally, after the snack bar is closed, Mu Chen will go home immediately, even if there is something urgent that needs to be done, he will come back and tell Mu Yan, no matter how bad it is, he will make a phone call directly.

But today Mu Yan did not receive any calls or text messages, and the snack bar was closed when he went to the restaurant. He asked the nearby villagers, and everyone said they hadn't seen it. Now, Mu Yan was really flustered.

He has never experienced such a thing, and Mu Chen has never broken contact with him, not even for a minute, which makes Mu Yan's heart hang high and unable to rest.

"Yanyan, don't worry, maybe that big villain has gone to do something important and will be back soon." No. 5 comforted Mu Yan.

It was the first time it saw Mu Yan like this.

"Yes, Ah Chen must have gone to run some errands. I'll call him again." Mu Yan comforted himself anxiously, but the sense of panic in his heart became more and more intense, which made him almost lose his phone. Didn't catch it.

He called three times in a row, but each time he was prompted that he could not get through, which made Mu Yan unable to calm down at all.

In the past, when Mu Yan was alone, no matter how difficult or difficult he encountered, he would silently endure it.

However, ever since he met Ah Chen, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes. Someone loves him, someone loves him, someone spoils him, and no matter what he does, he is always accompanied by someone. That kind of happiness almost drowns him.

He gradually learned to rely on, learned to trust, had his own family, and had his own children. He thought that this kind of life would last forever. He never thought about what would happen to him if Ah Chen disappeared.

However, when he really faced the reality, he found that the pain in his heart was more severe than any previous pain in his body. He obviously didn't have any wounds, but his body was trembling due to the pain, and his legs even supported a little I'm sorry he's here.

"Aww, aww, daddy, daddy, what's wrong with you?"

The little tiger hurriedly ran to Mu Yan's feet, spinning around helplessly, yelling in a childish voice.

"Yanyan, calm down, the big villain will be fine, don't worry." Number five was also in a hurry, and hurriedly said comfortingly.

Mu Yan's current situation is obviously not right, but it is just a system elf, no one can see it except the two people present, and it can't find anyone to help.

For the first time, No. 5 hated his situation a little bit, making it impossible for him to help.

No, it can still help.

Number Five suddenly thought of something, and a joyful expression appeared on his furry face.

"Yanyan, don't worry, I'll contact that villain for you." Number Five said hastily.

No. 5 has never been so grateful that Mu Chen was bound as a system partner, because in this way, to a certain extent, it can feel Mu Chen's thoughts and communicate with Mu Chen across the air, just like it usually does with Mu Chen. The language communication is average, but the communication between him and the binding partner will be weaker than that with the host.

Hearing the words, Mu Yan suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and looked at No. 5 eagerly.

No. 5 tried to establish contact with Mu Chen. Normally, it would rarely take the initiative to establish contact with Mu Chen. After all, their one-person-one-system relationship was not very good, but this time for the sake of the host, it endured it.

However, no matter how No. 5 searched, he couldn't get in touch with Mu Chen at all, and even the connection between them became much weaker.

There was a surprised expression on No. 5's face. There could only be two situations.

One is that Mu Chen is injured and dies, then the connection between the system and the binding partner will gradually weaken until it disappears; the other is that the distance between the binding partner and the system is too far, after a certain distance , the connection between the two will weaken, but not disappear.

Judging from the current situation, it is obviously the second one.

But what makes No. 5 puzzled is why the big villain is so far away from them. If they are still in Heyuan County, the connection between them must be very strong. Now it means that Mu Chen is no longer in Heyuan County. inside

However, if Mu Chen wants to go on a long journey, he will definitely tell the little host in advance, but...

No. 5 looked at Mu Yan, hesitant to speak, and didn't know how to tell the little host, especially seeing the host's eyes full of expectation, it was even more speechless.

For the first time, it wished to retract itself into the system so as not to face the small host, but it knew that this was not possible.

Now that the big villain is gone, if it is retracting the system, Mu Yan will definitely collapse even more.

Damn big villain, when you come back, the great number five will not kill you, telling you to make the little host so sad.

"Yanyan, the connection between me and the big villain is a bit weak. I think he must have gone out for some business and will be back soon." Choice Five said half-truthfully, otherwise it would be true. I don't know what to do.

"Going out? Where did he go? Why didn't he even answer my phone?" Mu Yan was still very worried, his heart kept beating faster, and he always had a premonition that something was going to happen.

No. 5 really didn't know what to say, the more he talked, the more likely he would reveal his secrets, so he had to say: "Yanyan, why don't we go and play with Haohao and the others, maybe Mu Chen will come back at night. "

"Haohao? Uncle Yang?" Mu Yan murmured to himself, but seemed to have caught another life-saving straw. He nodded hastily, then picked up Qiuqiu and walked to Yang Wenyao's house.

Today is the weekend, Yang Wenyao and the others don't have to go to work, so they are still here in Taohua Village.

Lin Jiayu was drying clothes in the yard, when she saw Mu Yan hurried in with an anxious face, and rushed forward, "Yanyan, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Aunt Lin, is Uncle Yang there? Has Ah Chen come to look for you?" Mu Yan asked hastily. He really couldn't think of who else could Ah Chen look for besides Yang Wenyao's family?

"Come in and sit down first. What happened? Tell me slowly." Lin Jiayu hurriedly brought Mu Yan to the living room, and then asked Yang Yingying to call Yang Wenyao, while she comforted Mu Yan patiently.

She always felt that Muyan today was very different from usual, and she was in a state of anxiety.
