Although it is summer, the temperature in the morning is still very cool. This season is the time of the wheat harvest, and the residents of the small village get up early to start their busy day.

Arnold's home is located on the plains, and when the harvest is due, the villagers will collectively go to the town to rent large harvesters. Harvesting is much more efficient than manpower, and the province of Anxing has a certain subsidy for renting machinery and equipment during wheat harvesting, which is not much for the villagers.

Seid Star is a natural star, although humans have modified it, but it is only harmless to human survival, and there is no strict control of the climate above, and there is not so much money on Seid Star to maintain the climate control system. Therefore, if you want to have a good harvest, most of the crops here still need to rely on God's blessing. With the development of science and technology, human beings can fight against certain natural disasters, but the cost problem still has to be put in the first place.

Shang Si was woken up by the sound of birdsong outside the window, and he looked at his watch, it was a quarter past five.

In the summer, the morning dawns very early, and it is already very bright outside. He put on his clothes, washed himself and went out the door.

He thought he had gotten up early, but he didn't expect that there were already people outside.

In the courtyard, Yan Kou was stretching, Doremi and Arno were cleaning the yard with a broom, and Alice, the black cat, was lying on the eaves and flicking her tail idly.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Shang Si planned to go for a morning run. The road here is not paved with cement and is still a traditional dirt road, but the road surface is very smooth, and it is unknown how the villagers maintain it.

Shang Si ran for a while, and met Xiao Yi on the road, obviously Shang Si was not the only one who had the idea of running in the morning. Shang Sichong nodded at Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi returned a polite smile, which was very polite on the surface. But when Xiao Yi left, Shang Si sighed softly.

The atmosphere between them has been very delicate since Xiao Yi's very unkind reprimand. Although they all look like they have nothing on the surface, they both know what it actually is.

Of course, this is not to say that there is a swagger between the two. Shang Si knew that Xiao Yi really taught him a lesson last time because he was very angry, and his approach should be very unacceptable in Xiao Yi's opinion, of course, in all military war theories, it is ridiculous to let the commander do the work of a soldier when there is no end of the mountain. This has nothing to do with class status, the division of labor between the two positions is different, and of course the things to be done cannot be the same. Therefore, intellectually, Shang Si knew that Xiao Yi was right.

However, people can't always be rational, don't look at Shang Si being trained by the system to become a facial paralysis, but he still hasn't completely hardened inside, if he is not forced to do so, he is unwilling to watch others die in front of him.

……

After the morning exercise, Shang Si returned to Arnold's house. Breakfast was also Grandma Mona's chef, Bowen and Sune started. Bowen's knife skills are very good, and Sune is careful, and a little learning of simple work can help Granny Mona, so in the end, the two were not kicked out again.

Everyone else has the self-awareness to stop going into the kitchen to make a mess, honestly serving dishes and putting utensils, and preparing for the meal.

At the dinner table, Granny Mona announced something.

Seid's annual Wheat Harvest Festival is about to begin, and despite their small village, there are celebrations that she hopes they will be part of.

Of course, the crowd would not refuse Granny Mona's kindness.

"What's going on?" Bird asked.

"You'll find out in a moment." With a kind smile on her face, Granny Mona winked at them.

The event was held outside the village next to a large field of wheat that had not yet been harvested, and was hosted by a young blonde. She was wearing a plain cloth skirt, and her whole body exuded the air of youthful vitality.

However, the rules of the game she told made everyone in the eighth team look at each other.

"Harvesting wheat? Or do you cut the wheat by hand? Yan Kou looked incredulous, "What age is this?" ”

"In any era, manpower will also be used." Xiao Yi was a little wilted by the sun, and he was weak enough to pick up Yan Kou's words, "The machine is not omnipotent. ”

Yan Kou: "Then will you?" ”

Xiao Yi: "No." ”

Yan Kou: ......

Whether they will or not, Granny Mona has already registered them, so the big guy can only bite the bullet. After dividing the area that everyone should harvest, Goldilocks smiled and handed out a sickle to everyone in the eighth team.

This is also considered a special treatment, because everyone else who participated in the event brought their own farm tools, only they brought nothing. And the village took the initiative to provide them with farm tools, which means that Granny Mona has told the villagers about their situation.

Shang Si looked around, and sure enough, all the villagers present looked at them with a smile just like the blonde girl.

Shangsi: ......

They must have done it on purpose!

Indeed, the people in the village are all farmers for generations, so how can it not be seen that the people of the eighth detachment can do farm work? But with the celebration just around the corner, a little prank can liven up the atmosphere, right?

Shang Si looked at the scythe in his hand...... Well, the villagers' prank succeeded. The sickle is something he's seen in his previous life or in this life. However, the previous life was on TV, and this life is in holograms.

How does this stuff work?

Shang Si looked at his comrades-in-arms beside him, and then found that except for Arnold, everyone else was also at a loss. Shang Si really wanted to hold his forehead with one hand, he had already imagined that everyone was in a hurry for a while......

"Captain, do you know how to use this thing?"

When he was at a loss, Su Ne subconsciously asked Shang Si.

Shang Si wanted to support his forehead again.

He doesn't know! But he must not say that, otherwise the snake spirit disease system will definitely be punished for his inability to solve the problems of his subordinates!

So Shang Si looked back at Su Ne with an unfathomable face, and did not speak for a long time.

Su Ne looked at his captain and fixed his very sharp gaze on his face, but he didn't speak for a long time, and Su Ne, who had always been sharp-minded, was embarrassed.

The captain's expression xiàn means that he doesn't know how to use this thing -_-|||

Guessing this, Sune was actually a little surprised, but now is obviously not the time to think about this. His question had already drawn the attention of the rest of the team, and now they were all looking at his calm captain with dazed eyes.

Under the watchful eye, Shang Si couldn't use the technique of "I'm so unfathomable" anymore, so he had to cough lowly, and then said in a stern tone: "Arnold! ”

Arnold, who heard Shang Si's voice, reflexively saluted: "Here!" ”

Then he realized that it was not on the Raven, and the captain also asked that he not have to maintain the habits of the army when wearing civilian clothes outside, so as not to feel a sense of distance from the civilians. So Arnold embarrassedly changed the hand raised in the marching salute to scratch his head, "Captain, is there something wrong?" ”

Shansi: "You will teach them how to use the scythe." ”

"No problem!" Arnold readily agreed, but ......

"They? Who else but Sune? ”

Arnold apparently thought that only the questioning Sune would not use the scythe. As a result, as soon as his question came out, he saw that everyone in the eighth detachment, including Xiao Yi and his Boss Yan, pointed their fingers at him with a brush.

"You don't know how to use a scythe?" Arnold was surprised, he didn't expect that for him, it would be as instinctive as eating and drinking, so many people wouldn't. Then something that frightened him even more happened, and his captain, Shang Si, who always had a cold face and was very strict, also slowly raised his hand and pointed it at himself.

Arnold: "Even the captain...... Ahh......h I didn't say anything just now...... If you want to learn, you have to be fast, and I'll start teaching now......"

……

Shang Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief on the side, although he was a little embarrassed, but he finally solved this matter, and cut the wheat for a while, at least it wouldn't make too much of a joke. And the system didn't react much, it seems that his solution didn't hit the standard of punishment.

Speaking of this, Shang Si remembered the task of establishing the Sharp Knife Squad that the system gave him a year ago when he first arrived at the Eighth Detachment. Speaking of which, the system is always vague when it gives tasks, and there is no quantitative standard, so it is really not easy to say what can be done to achieve the goal.

This year, he also worked hard to improve the situation of the eighth detachment. In terms of personnel, he had no way to adjust it, but fortunately, the original members of the eighth team, Yan Koano, were already very good, and the piloting skills of the Bird mecha that came later were also very top-notch. In terms of ability, the members of the eighth squad are enough to become members of the Sharp Knife Squad. In addition, their team still has such a plug-in as Xiao Yi, just look at the time of killing the mother worm, the Flame driven by Shang Si was damaged and incapacitated, but Xiao Yi's Polaris was only forty percent damaged. Of course, there is an element of luck in this, but Xiao Yi's driving skills cannot be ignored. I just don't know, the system admits that this supernumerary person is not.

In terms of equipment, with Monica's line, weapons and equipment can be bought as long as you have money. Recently, I was lucky enough to discover an energy mine. Regardless of whether it is the Sheng Yue government or Monica who gets the ownership of the energy mine in the end, their eighth team can always get a share. Before Monica hung up the call last time, she sent him a new equipment catalog, many of which were newly developed in recent years, and even some weapons were rarely equipped on the patrol ships of the Central Army.

Of course, the price of these things is also very expensive. Shansi has been dealing with Monica for a year and knows this woman's ability to calculate money very well. In addition, ninety percent of the work they took over from the eighth detachment was introduced by Monica, a woman, and Monica knew their situation very well. It is often Shang Si who has just fought hard to get a sum of money in the Raven, and before he can warm up in his hand, Monica's communication comes, and then the money that Shang Si just got is gone.

This time, the energy mine they discovered was taken over by Monica again, and Shang Si can now foresee that even if the energy mine makes more money, it is estimated that it will not be able to keep it. But the weapons Monica sold were really worth the money. Speaking of which, how did Monica get her hands on these weapons......

Before Shang Si could think about Monica clearly, the blonde girl's crisp voice interrupted Shang Si's train of thought.

The competition has officially begun.
