MTL - I’m the City Lord of the Last Days-Chapter 21

Liu Shan is the 61-year-old man whose identity is considered suspicious by the housekeeper. He suffered from polio when he was a child, which left him with inconvenient leg and foot sequelae. , Liu Shan was free alone, and found a job for himself, helping the host who went abroad to look at the vacant villa.

Although the monthly salary is not much, but this job can directly live in the villa, and the job content is simple, occasionally cleaning, so that the villa has a bit of popularity, just don't let it go to waste.

The children often place orders for Liu Shan to buy daily necessities delivered to their door, so Liu Shan doesn't often leave the villa, and the housekeeper, Uncle Fang, naturally doesn't know him. Fortunately, he drives an electric tricycle most of the time, and the property management has an impression of this, otherwise Liu Shan really doesn't know how to prove himself.

Speaking of which, Liu Shan would go to He's Manor, but he was actually following his neighbors. After all, the outside world had changed too much, and he wanted to know more information, so he followed his neighbors into He's Manor.

After leaving the Hejia Manor, Liu Shan drove a three-wheeled scooter aimlessly around the Yamu Villa area. He was worried. He usually ate alone, and the children would remember to buy him fresh ingredients and deliver them to his door. So he doesn't have much food in reserve, and he can eat it for half a month at most, but what should he do after half a month?

Thinking that there was no place to buy grain, Liu Shan's first reaction was to farm the land by himself. The land was easy to solve, but what about the tools? What about seeds?

Worried, Liu Shan's tricycle drove to Xinghu Lake, and then he found a row of wooden houses on the lawn by the lake? What's even more strange is that two fields were reclaimed next to the wooden house? ? ?

Liu Shan, who was a good farmer when he was young, subconsciously stepped on the brakes, his eyes widened in surprise, and just as he thought about farming by himself, he saw two fields that had already been reclaimed. Isn't he dreaming?

Now that they're all parked, why don't we just go and have a look?

His head was still hesitating, but Liu Shan's feet had spontaneously got off the car and walked towards the farmland.

Walking closer, I saw a simple wooden house with a size of 1 square meter in the corner of several hundred square meters of farmland. There was a line of words on the door of the wooden house:

[1 piece of farmland: 1 administrator is sincerely hired. After completing the daily work, 1 catty of grain will be distributed as a reward the next day. You can also choose to work for three days and issue 1 point of energy as a reward. 】

This is true for the two farmlands opposite each other across the road.

Although it is strange that a reclaimed field suddenly appeared next to the scenic lake in the villa area, Liu Shan didn't care

He only cared about getting food through farming or getting paid, so Liu Shan eagerly searched left and right, wanting to sign up with the host family.

He had already thought about it, and he should be very competitive when he was young and told about the fact that he was a model worker in the village.

The strange thing is that the recruitment information is hung on the door, but there is no person in charge around the farmland.

Liu Shan walked to the side, and the door of a wooden building closest to the farmland read:

[Grain store: sells grain, which can be purchased with energy beads. 】

Liu Shan was overjoyed when he saw the "grain for sale". He wanted to go in and have a look, but found that the door of the store was closed, and he couldn't open it no matter how hard he pushed.

I had no choice but to continue walking to the side, and there was another wooden house. This wooden house seemed to be inhabited, but the rent also required energy beads. I wonder what the energy beads have to do with the remuneration in the recruitment announcement?

Just when Liu Shan was frowning, with a puzzled expression, another car drove up in the distance, and seemed to have noticed it, and the car stopped behind Liu Shan's small three-wheeled car.

Liu Shan was anxious, fearing that the farming work he was looking for would be robbed, so he boldly pushed the door of the small wooden house in the corner of the farmland, and then he watched the wooden door easily pushed open, revealing the inside A **** for turning the ground, a bag of seeds, a water pot, and a sickle and other tools.

What's more eye-catching is that the whole body of the **** is shining with light.

Liu Shan rubbed his eyes in surprise, closed them and opened them again, yes, the **** was still shining!

At this time, there was a questioning sound from others in the rear, Liu Shan was in a hurry, no matter what, he took a step forward to hold the hoe, and grabbed the most important tool first before talking.

Unexpectedly, the **** would stop shining as soon as he held it in his hand. Liu Shan looked around at a loss, only to find that the nearest 1 meter by 1 meter field was shining slightly.

"May I ask where you found this hoe?"

The people who came were the couple who experienced the villa project, and they drove the rented luxury car.

Originally, when the boys arranged this unique anniversary event, they were still a little concerned about the rent of the luxury house and luxury car. The good news is that now the luxury house and luxury car are in their hands. The bad news is that they themselves are also in this It's a strange land.

The villa they rented did not store food. Most of the couples who came here had enjoyed a candlelight dinner before checking in or ordering takeaway directly. Therefore, the couple had already eaten all the food this morning, and they were also facing a food crisis.

Like Liu Shan, after leaving the Hejia Manor, the couple drove a luxury car that could no longer make them feel novelty and joy.

The car was wandering around, and when they started discussing to explore and find food in the ownerless villa, they noticed a row of strange buildings that they hadn't seen when they came the day before yesterday and Liu Shan who behaved abnormally, so they came over to inquire about the news.

"Ah, just look for it, go there and have a look." Liu Shan hesitantly changed the subject, pointing to a dense forest next to the farmland. There is a small tool house of the same style as the edge of the farmland at the edge of the forest. "Just that little house, go, you guys go and have a look at that house."

As for the other piece of farmland across the road, Liu Shan has already acquiesced that it is his own.

The two lovers looked at each other, full of doubts, but Liu Shan ignored them and turned to concentrate on digging. They had to go to the cabin by the woods with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

In fact, Liu Shan was just pretending to wave his **** in order not to start a conversation with others, aiming at the shimmering land under his feet.

He only used five minutes of strength. Unexpectedly, when he raised the **** and was about to **** the second time, he found that the ground under his feet was no longer shiny, and the whole soil became soft in an instant, and even the color became darker. . It seems that just one **** goes down, and the land is turned over.

Holding a hoe, the old farmer looked bitterly at the ground under his feet, and then at the adjacent 1-square-meter plot in front of him that began to shine. Every wrinkle on his face was filled with question marks.

Can you flip the ground like this?

After hesitating for a moment between sticking to his years of experience and obeying the guidance of this strange farmland, Liu Shan sighed, hey, it is the uncle who gave the food.

So he took a step forward, raising his **** and aiming at the shining ground ahead.

Another **** went down, and obviously only a small area was hoeed, but the soil within 1 square meter became soft and opened, and the color also became darker. Meanwhile, the flash continues to move forward.

Liu Shan thought to himself, anyway, he dare not leave the Yamu villa area now, and there is nothing to do when he goes home, so why not cultivate the land according to the guidelines, what if, what if he can really get food as a reward tomorrow?

The couple on the other side had already followed the system road to the woodland next to the farmland, and saw the notice on the door of the cabin at the edge of the woodland:

[1 lumber yard: 1 administrator is sincerely hired. After completing the daily work, 1 catty of grain will be distributed as a reward the next day. You can also choose to work for three days and issue 1 point of energy as a reward. 】

The couple looked at each other, staring at each other. Finally, the boy looked at the notice that he could receive 1 catty of grain for the next day, and then looked at the old man who was waving a **** not far away.

The man gritted his teeth, pushed away from the tool room, and grabbed the shimmering ax inside.

"Baozi! What's going on, why can't I get in?"

The girl in the couple took a step back, and was just about to step up to her boyfriend, but unexpectedly found that she couldn't enter the tool room at all, as if blocked by some invisible barrier, the girl's eyes widened in fright at this unheard of change.

The boy named Baozi was startled when he heard this, turned around and stepped out, and found that his movement was not hindered, but the ax in his hand disappeared from his hand when he stepped onto the road, and reappeared in the tool room.

Witnessing this miraculous scene with their own eyes, the couple looked at each other with excitement, but they had more expectations for the food they would get the next day. The boy comforted his girlfriend:

"Little Vinegar, you just stand here and wait for me, I will try according to its prompt!"

Baozi went into the tool shop again to pick up the axe, and saw a faintly shining line under the trunk of the tree closest to him.

Baozi thought of the recruitment notice saying that this was a "lumber yard", and intuitively realized that he should cut the wood along that line. Standing still in front of the tree, Baozi was a little nervous. He had never cut a tree before, so he didn't know if it would work.

Swallowing his anxiety, Baozi clenched the ax in his hand, aimed at the light, and fell down a tree for the first time in his life. He decided to give up strength and speed, and consider accuracy first.

With a sound of "Duh!", under Baozi's careful aim, the ax hit the light, and then he widened his eyes in surprise to see that the thick tree with one person's arms was split by one-fifth of the depth.

My strength is so great! ?

Although rationality told Baozi that he shouldn't be able to cut such a big crack with an axe, but the reality is that, he suddenly became interested, and aimed at the crack that had already been cracked with another axe.

The ax was chopping fast and furiously, but unfortunately, the ax was not accurate, and the ax fell **** high above the gap that had already been split.

Then Baozi found out in embarrassment that the sharp ax only knocked off a piece of bark.

Baozi immediately understood that to work in this mysterious lumber yard, he had to strictly aim at the aperture to remind him to cut down trees. As for his own strength, it was insignificant.

Next, Baozi concentrated on aiming at the flashing line, and went down three times, splitting one-fifth of the trunk each time, until the end of the fourth axe, Baozi, who thought there would be another axe, suddenly found that the huge tree trunk was leaning more and more. The bigger it was, the bigger it finally fell towards the distance.

be big

Baozi and Little Vinegar, who were frightened by the movement caused by the falling tree, came back to their senses for a while. They were very grateful that they had never considered the danger of cutting down trees before, and luckily they were fine.

Baozi stepped forward, turned around the fallen tree trunk, found a shining thread at a new position on the trunk, and went down with another four axes, the whole tree trunk scattered into a neat plank on the ground.

Baozi went to look for it again, and found that the shining thread had already appeared on the trunk of another tree next to him. Okay, this counts as cutting down a tree?

Xiao Vinegar watched the whole process, seeing clearly that her boyfriend didn't expend too much energy, and turned her thoughtful eyes to another lumber yard across the road behind her.

Looks like she can do it too.

Thinking in her heart, Xiao Vinegar walked towards the empty lumber yard, pushed open the wooden door of the tool house, and picked up the axe.

***

After lunch, He Qianshan gathered all the people who went out together in the afternoon in the lobby. After explaining the plan in detail, he asked everyone to disperse for the final rest and gather in front of the villa building on time 20 minutes later.

Song Xingcheng went back to her room and changed into clothes suitable for going out. She took a good look at her own city and vaguely saw that there seemed to be many people around there. She quickly took out the binoculars and observed carefully. up.

His luck is really great!

If you recruit employees to take care of the farmland and lumberyard today, you may be able to harvest food and wood tomorrow. With the wood, you can continue to build wooden houses and meet the conditions for city upgrades!

Everything is going in a good direction!

Song Xingcheng was in a good mood, humming a little song and thinking that it would be best to take the road where the system building was when he went out for a while, then he could have a closer look at how his farmland and lumberyard work.

At this time, the door was knocked, and He Qianshan's voice sounded: "Chengzi, it's me."
