While everyone else works together to till the land and chop trees, He He, whose starting point is a deserted island, is so hungry she starts listing dishes:
"I want cake, fried chicken, roast duck... If nothing else, even a piece of bread would do."
Then bread actually appears in her hand. Is she hallucinating from hunger?

He He: "Pay to win! Pay more! I have to grind and pay!"
No food? Pay 1,000 coins to double the potato harvest.
Drought and water shortages? Pay 10,000 coins to bring on some localized rain.
Sea monster invasion? Pay 100,000 coins to buy ten deep-sea torpedoes and fire them with automatic targeting!
