Chapter 155 Collecting Rank 9 Items from the Boulder
"Young Master Chu, you are too kind to us."
Yes, the person who calls His Majesty "Uncle" is so polite to people like us.
This crystal ornament, if taken back to the capital, would be worth at least several hundred taels of silver.
"Everyone has worked hard, it's our duty. However, we would appreciate it if everyone could work diligently and meticulously to build this Peach Blossom Fairy Island well during the construction process."
After saying that, he called over Feng Wu and introduced him to everyone.
"This is my fifth uncle, Feng. He knows how to use my materials. I hope everyone will exchange ideas with him later."
Then he whispered to Feng Wu.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Feng. I'll exchange your share for silver; this stuff isn't very useful."
"What are you saying, Chu boy? Without you, I, Feng Wu, would not be where I am today. Don't say such polite things anymore."
Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this; the people of Mashan Village were indeed simple and honest.
But since you've put in the effort, how can you not get any benefits in return?
We brought you out here because you have the skills and are a talented person, so you deserve good treatment.
As for the villagers in Mashan Village who work hard and receive equal or higher compensation for their labor, they should not be given too much.
When a person becomes rich, they will become lazy 100%.
"Alright, I'll bring out the blueprints for the construction of Peach Blossom Fairy Island tonight. I'll have to trouble everyone then."
After saying this, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone and walked out of the room.
In the room, everyone carefully held a box, as if it were more precious than their own half-month-old son.
"Uncle Feng, from now on we will be under your command, please give us your guidance."
This action startled Feng Wu, for these were all high-ranking officials who were usually in awe of him.
The kind words spoken to him at this moment—wasn't all of this given to him by Chu Wazi?
After they went outside, the one hundred selected labor service leaders were brought before Chu Chen.
Chu Chen sized up these men, who were dressed in rags but whose bodies were bulging with muscles from years of hard work.
"Everyone, this is both a labor service and a time to contribute to the peace and tranquility of our Great Xia."
"The ten coins a day are recognition of everyone's hard work."
"But if there are any lazy or slackers, then you one hundred people are to keep a close watch on them. Once you find any, you will all be punished together."
"But if you can exceed the target, I will never be stingy with rewards for you one hundred people."
After saying that, he smiled at everyone and led Mu Xueqin toward the depths of the island.
But behind them came the confident shouts of the hundred men.
"Sir, just you wait and see, I'll handle things perfectly for you."
"Yes, sir, without the protection of the Great Xia, we don't even know if we could survive. Please rest assured."
Chu Chen smiled knowingly as he listened to these grand pronouncements.
This thing, once it reaches that height, can be used to create a rosy picture and sprinkle some sesame seeds, so you won't have to worry about not working hard.
He then waved to everyone and led Mu Xueqin deeper into the island.
"You idiot, tell me, wouldn't it be great to play in that pool down there!"
As Mu Xueqin said those words, she felt her heart pounding wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.
Chu Chen glanced back at her heaving chest, wondering what had been wrong with the woman these past few days.
It seems that his carefree and impulsive personality, which used to lead him to draw his sword at the drop of a hat, has changed a lot.
And she's becoming more and more like a woman.
For your own safety's sake, you should probably do it.
I must say, this island is indeed beautiful.
Upon reaching the center, a flat rock formation on a hill serves as a natural viewing platform, offering panoramic views of the entire island.
There is a pool of water about 200 square meters at the foot of the mountain, and a stream flows directly into the pool.
Perhaps it is because the island has excellent water conservation, but even in the dry season of autumn, there is no sign of the water flowing out.
At that moment, Chu Chen was with Mu Xueqin on the flat stone.
"Who knows what's in that pool? Once it's finished, I'll build you a huge wading pool."
"Really? You idiot, you can't go back on your word."
"Haha, I'll give you some new clothes later, you'll definitely like them."
Chu Chen immediately imagined himself with his group of beautiful women, all wearing bikinis, splashing around in that huge swimming pool.
If we just add some barbecue and beer, how the hell are we going to make any money?
As they talked, the two of them lay down on the big rock.
At this moment, apart from the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the rocks in the distance, neither of them spoke.
Looking up at the vast sky, each person may be lost in thought, or perhaps they are all marveling at its depth.
After a long silence, Chu Chen said to Mu Xueqin, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking of someone who is both a rogue and a hero. He is incredibly skilled with hidden weapons and is extremely brave. But this person is also a lecherous man who seems to never be satisfied, with peach blossoms blooming everywhere."
Holy crap, this woman has fallen in love with me.
On this day, with the sky as our bed and blankets, under the deep gaze of God, why not celebrate with a cannon?
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Xueqin asked, staring at Chu Chen after she finished speaking.
"I'm also thinking about someone. That person has a graceful figure, is highly skilled in martial arts, and the image of her standing with a sword in hand is always unforgettable!"
"You lecherous scoundrel." As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, Mu Xueqin lightly punched him.
"I have a martial art called the Kun Character Technique, which I will impart to you today..."
Sometimes, beautiful scenery can be a great help.
Look at that big rock, no matter how much you mess with it, it doesn't budge.
Only the rhythmic sound of the waves crashing against the rocks echoed throughout the entire island................... (Expand ▼)
At that moment, Mu Xueqin finally unsheathed the steel sword from her waist.
Time flies, and before we knew it, night had quietly fallen.
Until countless stars climbed up the entire deep sky.
Chu Chen shook Mu Xueqin, who was nestled against his chest: "Let's go back. We can't stay here overnight, can we?"
"Why not, you scoundrel? Here, right now, you belong to me alone."
"Then wait for my little something."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he walked down the mountain.
When I returned, I had a tent and some camping gear with me.
While feeling happy, Mu Xueqin was also amazed that Chu Chen had built a small house in such a short time.
The air mattress is made of thickened material, so there's no need to worry about it being punctured by the huge impact.
Mu Xueqin slept soundly that night, letting the sea breeze patter against the tent.
But apart from the sound of the wind, the whole world was so quiet, a reassuring silence.
As dawn broke, Chu Chen emerged from the tent.
He slipped into the space beneath the stone.
Based on what we saw yesterday about the general topography of the entire island.
He took out paper and pen and started sketching, drawing for half the morning before quietly emerging from the space.
