CHAPTER XIX

The popularization of basic education, hamster breeding and experimental field projects in Goblin Village are in full swing.

As the general leader of these projects, Shi Junjun has been very busy these days, and after most of the Goblin Academy's language level has improved to the point where she can communicate simply, her current focus has shifted to other aspects-

"How many times have I said that these are crops, not weeds!" The girl was so angry that her eyebrows flared, "It's not long since it just grows, you have pulled out so much, what will you eat when the harvest comes?" ”

The green-skinned dwarfs bowed their heads in shame, and the sparsely cropped field behind them looked so striking in the overall thriving test field.

For them, the weeds to be pulled out grow exactly like the crops......

Hearing this explanation, Junjun had no choice but to let them put aside their weeding work for the time being, and wait until they could distinguish the difference between the two.

The good news is that the crops in the experimental field are growing much faster than she had predicted, nourished by the world's soil and water.

In just one week, the seeds have sprouted and grown to the extent that it would have taken more than half a month, and at this rate, the experimental field will be harvested for the first time in a little more than a month, and the problem of food shortage in Goblin Village will be solved.

Fearing that it might cause damage to the ecological environment of another world, Shi Junjun took the most cautious attitude in the use of pesticides and compound fertilizers.

Fortunately, there are no pests and diseases, and pesticides are useless.

It's just that the organic fertilizer piled up with hamster poop is really hard to describe in terms of smell......

By the way, those hamsters are really good at pulling.

In terms of irrigation, the construction of the waterwheel did not go smoothly at first, but after experiencing a lot of parts and rejects due to the high precision requirements for processing parts in the early stage, Shi Junjun, who discovered this situation, taught the basic concept and conversion method of the length unit called Thorngoblin carpenter, and took out a tape measure to tell him what length the scale on it represents.

With a basic idea of the unit of length and the unprecedentedly accurate goodness of the tape measure, Thorne the carpenter slowly began to adapt to the work he had never done before, and more and more parts of the waterwheel were produced and assembled by the stream near the test field under the guidance of the girl.

Objectively speaking, the flow of water in that stream is not large, but it should not be a problem for the water wheel to irrigate the experimental field more than one person high.

At the same time, the green-skinned dwarfs are also installing aqueducts along the way, and the nearly one-kilometer-long diversion distance is connected by hundreds of wooden water pipes, and each section of the hollowed-out timber itself, as well as the connection and support, must be firm and reliable, so each section of timber will be installed in place after being checked and confirmed by Shi Junjun himself.

For a village of just over 280 goblins, the construction of a waterwheel and a diversion aqueduct along the way was already a big project, so the old village chief requisitioned a quarter of the village's population of young goblins - a full seventy green-skinned dwarfs - without affecting the daily collection of food and basic safety of the village.

"The watermill is ready—"

"Ready—"

"The aqueducts have been inspected—"

"It's all checked—"

Shi Junjun's throat was hoarse and almost speechless, and several blood blisters also appeared on the soles of her feet.

In the Goblin Village of another world, where communication depends on roaring, this is obviously quite an inconvenient situation, so the task of communicating to the green-skinned dwarfs is done by the broccoli with the best language proficiency except for the old village chief.

"Broccoli." The coolness of the throat lozenges in her mouth made Shi Junjun's throat feel more comfortable, and she asked, "Are you ready?" ”

"It's all set." Broccoli nodded vigorously.

"Then it's up to you to take a new step for the village." The girl smiled slightly, and said something that sounded misty to the green-skinned dwarf,

"After all, I'm not a person to the world, I'm a passerby-"

Even though Broccoli couldn't understand what she was saying, though she couldn't figure out the meaning of what they were doing for a while, though she didn't know why this human girl had so many strange thoughts in her head. But the goblins of this other world can feel that everything Shi Junjun does will have a good impact on his village.

Perhaps, as she said casually before, they will have farmland, schools, and workshops like humans, and children can go to school to learn about the world, except that young people work in the fields and workshops during the day without risking their lives to gather food, and the old people in the village do not have to go hungry every once in a while.

They can also live in the sun outside this forest.

Broccoli believes that what she says will come true one day.

As for hearing in that cave, the pocket that can teleport items or something, Shi Junjun didn't say it, it was her secret, and Broccoli would keep these secrets even if she died.

The goblin took a deep breath and pulled the twine, and the planks that blocked the flow of water loosened, and the force of the water caused the entire waterwheel to squeak and squeak and slowly spin, and the clear water was poured into the barrel and sent to the high places, and then in the wooden aqueduct with the help of the height difference, it flowed rapidly, and finally merged into the cultivated land nearly a kilometer away.

"It's a small step." Looking at the cheering green-skinned dwarfs around her, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"It's a big step." Shao Wei, who witnessed this scene through his mobile phone camera, muttered.

"Sleep, sleep, tomorrow is a day off." The girl yawned and got up and stretched, "There is something important the day after tomorrow." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Learn magic."

The basic concept of magic is not new in the novels and film and television works of Shi Junjun's original world, and the basic concept is to use the mind to manipulate the changes of real things around oneself to achieve attack, healing, defense or other effects.

According to the old village chief, the magic of another world can be explained by this concept almost in the same way.

The next step is how to cast spells.

Fortunately, to cast magic in another world, you don't have to chant some spells from the second to your grandmother's house like in some ancient anime.

In most cases, the magician only needs to sketch out the effect of the magic he wants to perform in his mind, and then use the magic items as a medium to visualize the magic of the surroundings or himself.

Sounds pretty simple.

The power of magic depends largely on the caster's mental power, which in turn depends almost entirely on talent.

And whether or not you can perceive the magic relationship is related to whether you can perform magic......

"The guest's magic has already reached a very high level, so why start learning it again?" The old goblin village chief had a puzzled look on his face.

"Uh...... Actually, I don't know magic. Shi Junjun replied honestly.

"How can a person without magic kill the Dark Lord? How could it be possible to destroy such a house in an instant? The old goblin village chief shook his head, "There are so many things about the guests that I can't understand......

The girl said that things were going to be bad, and she felt that this green-skinned old dwarf was not very willing to teach people.

"The guest is the great benefactor of our village, but I can only use the most rudimentary magic." The old goblin village chief looked a little uneasy, "I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy you......"

Shi Junjun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "It's okay, it's okay, anyway, I'm just a beginner, and I can't learn it all at once if it's too advanced." ”

Remembering the experience of destroying a goblin's house for some reason, she decided to move the study site to a small glade not far from the village, so that there would be no serious consequences if something unexpected happened.

"Magic props are essential items for casting magic, and without its assistance, no matter how powerful the mental power and magic power are, a magician cannot perform any effective magic." The old goblin village chief will wear the ring around his neck with a string, and when he puts it on his finger, he says, "So guests should be careful not to lose their magic items in the future......

The girl, who usually likes to lose everything, carefully picked up her ring, remembering that for a long time before that, this magic prop had been worn on the corpse of a previous generation of time-travelers who had been dead for a long time......

Okay, okay, the dead are great, you shouldn't be disgusted, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

After taking a deep breath, Shi Junjun slowly put the ring on her index finger, but fortunately, this time there was no abnormal movement like before, and the touch from her index finger was cold.

"First, imagine a little bit of Mars in your head." The old goblin village chief closed his eyes and said, "Then channel the magic in your body, like adding wood to a fire, and make this little spark burn and expand a thousand times-"

Before the words fell, Shi Junjun felt that the temperature around him began to rise significantly, and then the air in front of the old goblin village chief distorted slightly, and suddenly a raging orange-red fireball suddenly appeared.

The fireball slowly dissipated in mid-air, and the old goblin village chief, who was slightly panting, calmed down his breath and explained: "Although this is a simple magic, it is impossible to master it in one day, guests can first feel the existence of magic in the environment, and then gradually ......."

The old goblin village chief who was talking to himself didn't notice that the complicated lines on Shi Junjun's finger ring slowly lit up.

"If you can't master the fireball magic for the time being, you don't need to worry."

Seeing that the girl still didn't move after closing her eyes for a long time, the old goblin village chief sighed, ready to demonstrate the spell casting steps again.

The sun hanging high in the sky seemed to dim slightly.

Shi Junjun suddenly opened her eyes.

Then a fiery dragon roared and tore through the air, bursting through the sky.

At the same time, Shao Wei, who was in another world, raised his head suddenly, as if something flashed in the sky.

Like ......

Fireworks.
