Chapter 29: Learning to Cut Trees
"200 trees, wasn't it still 150 yesterday, whatever you say, it will rise, you think we won't be able to eat dinner, right?" As soon as VC heard that 200 trees were going to be cut, the big nerves swelled and choked.
"250." Professor Carlo's face did not change.
"What do you mean, you really think I'm afraid of you." VC tilted his head, looking like he was on a bar.
"300."
"You." The gloss on VC's face swept away, his lips became even redder, and the qi on his body was a little restless, "Don't think that if you have my handle in your hand, I will always be led by you." One day I catch your pigtails and you're done. ”
"350." Professor Carlo still didn't change his face, and he didn't even look at VC directly.
Just as the two of them kept bidding, Shan Butterfly and Larry were terrified, "VC, you want to do it until tomorrow, I don't want to." ”
The golden hair stretched out instantly, directly entangled VC's body, especially the mouth part, making VC unable to move for a while, let alone make a sound.
"Okay, since there is no objection, then let's do it, and then go back to the Cultural Research Institute to eat after the cut. Ah, by the way, Xingyu, I forgot to mention just now, there is one most important rule, which is to be absolutely obedient to the orders of the master. With a turn, Carlo disappeared into the woods.
Shan Butterfly lets go of the VC that is tangled in her hair.
"What do you mean?" VC said angrily at Shan, "Don't you see that he is playing with us, 350 trees, why didn't he say that we should cut down the entire forest." ”
"If it weren't for you, would it have been increased to 350?" Shan Butterfly was also angry, and said, "If my slender arms are thick, you will be to blame." ”
"If you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have knocked him down."
"You can't beat Professor Carlo." The black hat, who had been silent on the side, spoke.
"How do you know, I am?" VC suddenly closed his mouth, and after 1 second, he said, "If I can beat him, you will wear white to show me every day." ”
"Black can suppress my energy." The black hat said lightly, ignoring them, and walked alone to a tree, picked up his axe, and slashed at the trunk one by one. The knife, which looked very hard, left only a faint slash mark on the trunk.
350 trees, that's a huge number, usually 200 trees, 4 people have to work until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, now there are 150 more trees, almost equivalent to two days, the others didn't say anything, each did their own work.
Xingyu stood in front of a tree, holding the axe he had just been assigned to him, and the axe was not as heavy as he imagined, but had a light and fluttering feeling, as if he couldn't hold it steadily.
Xingyu spread his feet apart, picked up the axe with all his might, and slashed at the trunk of the tree.
"Bang~~" There was a loud bang, and the axe flew straight out of Xingyu's hand, but on the other hand, there was not a trace left on the trunk.
The others looked up at Xingyu, did not speak, and continued to cover their heads and do the work in their hands.
Xingyu picked up the fallen axe, readjusted his body, and used his greatest strength to stab the trunk again.
"Bang." There was another loud bang, and the axe flew out again, but there was still no trace of it on the trunk.
Xingyu touched the trunk of the tree, smooth and soft. It's strange that such a sharp axe can't leave a trace, Xingyu thought.
On the other hand, VC and Black Hat are slashing at the second tree with an axe.
Shan Butterfly on the side used a shovel to cut the trunk into several parts, and then shoveled it into the basket. When the basket was full, Larry struggled to pick up the basket and walked to the other side of the clearing, dumping the trunk of the tree in the basket on the edge of the clearing, then walking back and continuing to fill the basket and repeat.
Xingyu picked up the axe, fixed his mind, and did not use all his strength, but swung it towards the trunk with a relatively large force, but there was no trace.
The unwilling Xingyu frowned, and swung the axe more than a dozen times in a row, and there was not even a single trace of abrasion on the trunk. I touched the trunk of the tree that had been cut down more than a dozen times with my hand, and it was still smooth and soft.
"Use your brains." VC said as he waved the axe in his hand.
"Use your brain." Seongwoo muttered, not moving again, but standing aside to observe the appearance of VC and Black Hat as they cut down trees.
The two of them looked like they were cutting down the tree with ease, and they didn't even use too much physical strength.
The place where most people wield an axe is the waist, but looking at the appearance of VC and the black hat swinging the axe, it does not use much waist strength, but the strength of the arms and wrists is controlling.
Following their example, Xingyu slashed several axes at the trunk of the tree. If you don't have force on your waist, how can you have strength in your hands, and sure enough, there is still no trace left on the trunk.
"Is it?" Suddenly, a strange thought flashed through Xingyu's head. He calmed down, and the qi in his body began to slowly fill, and then slowly concentrated all the qi in his hands.
When the qi in the hand reaches a certain saturation, the qi is slowly transferred to the axe in the hand. This is a trick that he learned when he was fighting with Daling, when the qi in his body is covered on the object in his hand, the ability of the object can be instantly strengthened dozens of times, or even more than a hundred times.
The qi in his body had been drained by a third, but the axe still didn't seem to be satisfied, until Xingyu passed two-thirds of the qi into the axe, the qi reached the pupils, and a circle of green slowly lingered around the axe.
Xingyu's heart was excited, like a child who had scored a perfect score in the exam, ignoring the sweat on his forehead, swinging an axe and slashing at the trunk of the tree.
"Click." It was a very light sound, a very faint mark, but it sounded in Xingyu's ears, and in Xingyu's eyes, what a wonderful moment it was.
"Hahaha." Xingyu laughed, and with the sound of "click", he cut more than ten axes in a row, leaving a few deep marks on the trunk.
Xingyu stretched out his hand and touched the axe mark, which was slippery and soft.
With the corners of his mouth bent into the shape of a moon, the axe in Xingyu's hand swung dozens of times in one breath.
"Bang dang." With a bang, the trunk finally fell.
"Xingyu, it seems that your talent is not bad, you are under me." VC stopped what he was doing, looked at Black Hat and said, "Black Hat, it seems that he learned to cut trees faster than you." ”
Black Hat paused for the axe in his hand, "Yes." ”
"Okay, Xingyu, I didn't expect you to be really good, it took me 2 days to figure it out, and Larry still hasn't mastered it well." Shan Butterfly said with a smile.
Larry gave Shan Butterfly a blank look and said, "Professor Carlo said that the exercise of my body is more important than the exercise of qi. ”
Larry smiled brightly and said, "You're awesome, Xingyu, if only I could learn it so quickly." ”
Xingyu's heart suddenly felt a kind of warmth, in the modern earth, because of the poverty of his family, except for Udi and Xun Yao, no one else has ever looked down on him, if it weren't for his good grades, writing homework for those rich children, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to enter the school gate every day.
Xingyu smiled with relief, and suddenly felt that he had decided to come here in the first place.
Because of Professor Carlo's rules, when he didn't understand that he should use qi to cut down trees, no one among his companions told him what to do, because his own enlightenment is the most important.
And when he comprehended it, everyone sent the most sincere smile, a smile that can make people feel warm in their hearts, especially the current Xingyu.
Thinking like this, Xingyu then picked up the axe, axe after axe, and he was glad that he had come to the right place and recognized this group of companions. He was convinced that if he studied here, he would be able to save his mother in three years.
