In front of the house, there were a few small men in coarse cloth clothes who were sitting around smoking pipes, and when they saw the thunderclouds appear, they all quickly stood up and walked towards this side together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It wasn't until these guys got close that Lei Yun realized that they were actually a group of rat spirits, all wearing straw hats, cloth clothes, and pipes, although they were standing and walking, but they were only about one meter tall.

Seeing this, Lei Yun was about to speak, when the rat spirits suddenly bowed to them collectively, and then one of the rat spirits said:

"It turns out that the messenger of the nine-headed monster has arrived, welcome to you, thanks to the blessing of the nine-headed monster, this year's harvest is very good, our warehouse is already full, and the wheat in the wheat field is all the nine-headed monster's, please take it."

Lei Yun was immediately stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly waved at Xuanchen, who immediately nodded slightly, stepped forward and pronounced a Buddha horn, and said:

"The bitter sea is boundless, turning back is the shore, donors, poor monk Xuanchen, there is a courtesy here...

Xuanchen walked towards the rat spirits as he spoke, ignoring the stunned eyes of the rat spirits, he immediately flickered endlessly, and soon nodded his head to the rat spirits, and walked towards the village with Xuanchen in his arms, Xuanchen immediately said to Lei Yun in the team channel:

"You wait for me here, I'll go find out about this place, and I'll be back soon."

Lei Yun immediately motioned for everyone to rest in place, then walked to the wheat field behind him, took off an ear of wheat weighing forty or fifty pounds, then broke off a grain of wheat, tried to throw it into the chef's obsessive food box, and soon got a snow-white steamed bun and a large cup of black-brown beer.

Lei Yun tore a piece from the steamed bun and put it in his mouth and bit it, the fluffy texture and the sweet aroma of fresh wheat immediately filled his mouth, and he immediately chewed instinctively.

After swallowing this mouthful of steamed buns, Lei Yun took the steamed buns and distributed them to everyone to eat, but they were politely rejected by everyone, obviously they were not interested in this simple food, Lei Yun himself couldn't eat such a big steamed bun, so he had to throw it back into the immortal mark.

And the cup of beer was snatched away by Meng Yuan, and after this guy took it, he immediately took a big sip, then frowned, hurriedly walked to the river, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and the river immediately froze.

The guy immediately took out the mace, chiseled it on the ice a few times, then picked up several large ice cubes and threw them into the beer, shook them a few times, and then drank them all with a look of great joy on his face.

Seeing that this guy actually used his skills to drink cold beer, everyone was a little speechless, but after this guy finished drinking the beer, he came to Lei Yun's side, squeezed his eyes and whispered:

"Boss, my call for wind and rain has escalated, you see."

After speaking, he showed the thunderclouds the wind and rain of LV2:

"Calling the Wind and Rain LV2, the current proficiency is 1/10000, you can consume 10 mana points, change the weather within a radius of 5000 meters, the skill duration is four hours, and the skill cooldown time is thirty minutes."

Thundercloud was completely speechless when he saw that this guy was so shameless that he could upgrade with a skill cold beer, but after the wind and rain were upgraded, the duration and range have increased a lot, which is good news.

Everyone waited until midnight before Xuan Chen finally came back, and said excitedly:

"These stupid rats, now all my followers, this time it's really hairy, there are hundreds more at once, and there are endless children and grandchildren, wahahaha..."

Lei Yun was speechless for a while when he heard this, nodded helplessly, and waited until he finished laughing before slowly saying:

"Congratulations Master, can you get to the point now?"

When Xuan Chen heard this, he immediately snorted, and then said:

"It turns out that those rat spirits are the descendants of the ancient rat clan, there are about four or five hundred in number, they have been living in isolation here for thousands of years, and they are specifically responsible for growing food for the nine-headed monster, because with the food they provide, the nine-headed monster can raise so many snake demon subordinates."

After a pause, he said:

"The wheat here ripens once a year, and every time the nine-headed monster sends someone to collect it after the wheat is ripe, and now it is just the time for the nine-headed monster to harvest the wheat, so they mistakenly think that we are here to harvest the wheat, and the most important thing is that I also received a hidden mission, you can come and see."

After saying that, he took out an old sheepskin scroll from his bosom, and then spread it out on the ground, and everyone immediately gathered around, and immediately received a hint:

"Do you want to watch the Hidden Quest prop, if you select Yes, you will get a Hidden Quest, yes/no."

When everyone saw that there was still a task to take, and it was a task that Xuanchen had already received, they naturally chose to take the task:

"You watched the hidden task props ---- the design of the rickshaw waterwheel, please build a human-powered waterwheel for the rat people according to the design drawing, the task time limit is 10 days, the difficulty of the task is unknown, and all attributes will be deducted if the task fails."

As soon as the quest prompt appeared, the design drawings of a wooden waterwheel appeared on the sheepskin scroll, which were very detailed, and the corresponding dimensional data of all the parts were also attached.

Thundercloud carefully studied the drawing, and found that it was a water wheel dedicated to watering the wheat fields here, but the design was sophisticated and complex, and the technology content was extremely high, and it was estimated that it was impossible for these guys to build it with the rat clan, so they could receive this strange task.

At this time, an immortal person suddenly touched his chin, frowned and said:

"This waterwheel is easy to build, but if you can add a windmill wheel system, I guess the effect will be even better."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at this immortal person in amazement, and then he smiled embarrassedly and said:

"In Xia Liu Siping, he has some experience in engineering and other things, which makes everyone laugh."

When Lei Yun heard this, he immediately said in a deep voice:

"If you are put in charge of the construction work, and we fully cooperate, can you build this waterwheel?"

When Liu Siping heard this, the corners of his mouth immediately curled slightly, and he said proudly:

"No matter how complicated it is, it won't bother me, but I still think I should add a windmill system."

Lei Yun thought for a moment when he heard this, and said:

"Then add it, but we have to speed up the progress, we must complete it within nine days, so that if the task requirements do not agree with this, we still have time to correct it, Liu Siping, from now on, you will be in charge, and we will all listen to your arrangement."

Liu Siping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately said:

"You're welcome to be down there."

After speaking, he looked at the drawings again, and then immediately arranged the manpower, and soon, each immortal was assigned the task of dozens of waterwheel parts, and the requirements were very detailed.

From the size of each part of the part to the time node and sequence of completion, there are strict requirements, and everyone suddenly feels an invisible pressure when they hold their tasks, just like being left with homework when they go to school.

Seeing that Liu Siping had finished assigning the task, Lei Yun immediately said in a deep voice:

"The task has been divided, I hope everyone can complete it on time at all costs, if anyone drags his feet, there will be no punishment, but maybe the next time I fight, I will unconsciously use him as cannon fodder."

In order to ensure everyone's work efficiency, Lei Yun specially arranged his five Xuanwu guards to be responsible for cutting down trees, so as to shorten the time for everyone to obtain raw materials, and at the same time prepared a lot of various foods, which were supplied to everyone around the clock, so as to avoid affecting the progress because of food problems.

After a day of hard work, everyone completed the work task ahead of schedule, but before everyone could come and cheer, Liu Siping had already adjusted the work schedule with a blank face and increased the workload of the next day, on the grounds that he had optimized the windmill system again, and everyone immediately complained bitterly and cursed Liu Siping secretly.

Early the next morning, Lei Yun prepared breakfast, and in view of the hard work of everyone yesterday, he chose many energy foods for breakfast today:

Two large baskets of scallion pancakes made with shredded Nuodeng ham, red sausages made with whole peppercorns and lean meat, a large pot of sour vinegar and pepper hot and sour soup, and a pot of oily mutton foamed vermicelli winter melon and salty rice, the hearty food makes the whole camp waft with an enticing aroma.

At this moment, suddenly a group of fat rat spirits came from the village, all dressed as peasant women, and carrying a small bamboo basket in their hands, all covered with a gray-white cloth.

Walking up to the people in the thunderclouds, these rat spirits all smiled and stuffed the bamboo baskets to the immortals, one for each of them, and even the five Xuanwuwei brothers also got one.

After giving the bamboo basket, the rat spirit who took the lead said with a smile:

"Honorable messenger, thank you for helping us build a waterwheel, we have made some traditional food, which not only tastes good, but also helps you recover your strength, I hope you enjoy it."

After saying that, they lined up again, and when they were about to walk back, they suddenly found that the red sausage seemed to be very delicious, and they even unceremoniously grabbed one per person and walked back while eating.

Everyone was a little speechless when they saw this, so they had to open the bamboo basket to take a look, but they found that it was just a few black bread-like things, which looked very poor, and they were hard.
