As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Zhan regretted them.

This didn't sound like something he would say, so he unconsciously tightened his large hands inside his sleeves.

But Xu Nian didn't think anything of it. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and agreed, "Okay."

This time, Gu Zhan was speechless. He stared at her for a while, then left in silence.

[I have a feeling the general has something he wants to say.]

[I also think the general was just being polite, but the streamer shamelessly agreed!]

"What do you mean, shameless!"

Upon seeing this comment, Xu Nian immediately became angry, slamming her hand on the table. "Do you understand what I mean by making reasonable use of resources? Wouldn't you eat meat that's been delivered to your mouth for free?"

[Haha, the anchor is right, the general walked right into the trap.]

After engaging in a love-hate relationship with the comments for a while, Xu Nian prepared to rest.

In the next few days, she will definitely be as busy as a spinning top, so getting enough sleep will be essential.

The next day, the city lights came on.

Xu Nian rubbed her sleepy eyes and pushed open the door, only to be stunned by the magnificent scene before her.

The open space in front of us was almost completely filled with people, and the crowded scene resembled a bustling market in its heyday.

But they remained very quiet, and upon seeing Xu Nian emerge, they all exclaimed with delight, "Lord City Lord!"

Xu Nian was a little confused when she heard this address.

In just a few short months, she had risen from a lowly wretch to a half-immortal, and then to the position of city lord.

“Among you, those skilled in farming shall stand on the left, and those skilled in arithmetic and those knowledgeable in medicine shall stand on the right.”

At Xu Nian's command, everyone began to move, with the majority of them on the left.

This was also within Xu Nian's expectations.

In any era, manual laborers have always made up the majority.

"Come with me to see your fields," Xu Nian said, standing up.

For them, the most urgent task is still food.

Guided by the locals, Xu Nian arrived at a large field.

As they ventured deeper, the landscape gradually unfolded before Xu Nian's eyes.

Due to the prolonged drought, the land cracked into tiny inch-long pieces, a sight that was unsettling to behold. Even the weeds growing nearby had withered and turned a dull yellow, making it look like a complete wasteland.

"This is the farmland we cultivate," they said, their eyes filled with heartache.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian nodded in understanding, got up and walked to the nearest piece of land, where she appeared.

The moment her hand touched the ground, she felt its dryness; the clods of earth were so hard she couldn't even crush them.

The land here is so severely arid.

No wonder there's a famine; it's been so long since it rained!

My God, I really can't imagine how these people have survived this long. It must be so tough.

Xu Nian thought the same thing, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She then made a talisman in the air and slapped it down.

Suddenly, Xu Nian memorized everything about the land.

The prolonged drought has rendered the fields here unsuitable for growing crops, and even rain has had little effect.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to solve the land problem.

Thinking of this, Xu Nian stood up and instructed the people behind her, "Go and fetch the farming tools and till the land."

After hearing Xu Nian's words, the crowd looked at each other, but no one moved. "But..."

"Don't worry about the rain, just do as I say."

Xu Nian naturally understood what they were worried about. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the scorching sun in the void.

If a simple rainmaking ritual could stump her, then there would be no need to continue this training.

Seeing Xu Nian's confident demeanor, the crowd could not argue and gritted their teeth to get the supplies.

After they brought back their farming tools, Xu Nian raised her hand and gestured, "Make sure to clear out this small area."

She did not ask them to deal with all the land immediately, as that would not only be unreasonable but also completely unconvincing.

Therefore, Xu Nian only marked a small area in front of her as an experiment.

Upon hearing this, the people exchanged glances, but ultimately chose to believe Xu Nian, rolled up their sleeves, and began to work.

As they moved, the originally stiff and cracked land gradually crumbled into small, broken clods of earth.

Xu Nian watched, then put his hands behind his back, forming a talisman, and chanted, "Taiyuan Haoshi Thunderfire Essence, borrow yin to gather yang to guard the thunder city, gather yang to bring rain in an instant, drive the dragon and draw lightning from the Xuan Hong, hurry as the law commands!"

[This is a talisman the streamer used before, I remember it!]

I can't believe I saw this again today. It brings back so many memories.

As Xu Nian uttered the words aloud, several thunderclaps suddenly appeared in the originally bright and sunny sky, tearing across the horizon.

"Thunder?!"

The people around stared in disbelief at the strange sight in the sky and exclaimed incredulously.

Just then, the group of people finished tilling the field and looked up to see this scene, which surprised them greatly.

First, thin raindrops fell from the sky, then gradually grew into bean-sized shapes, pattering and pouring down, drenching everyone thoroughly.

But none of them were dissatisfied; on the contrary, they were overjoyed and so surprised that they were almost speechless.

"It's raining, boohoo!"

Someone knelt down and started crying, which immediately resonated with everyone. They cried and laughed, running and jumping in the rain, not caring about the mud on their bodies.

[I'm so touched! The streamer was just moved by a sudden downpour, and they were so happy.]

[Watching this really breaks my heart. What kind of lives did they lead before they met the streamer?]

Brothers, let's get this streamer trending quickly! Helping them get on the trending page will earn us some credit!

Xu Nian was also deeply moved. Looking at everyone's excited expressions, she smiled and then focused her mind on the space.

She brought a lot of things with her to the space, including many seeds of grains and crops.

Looking at the outrageously expensive prices, Xu Nian frowned and finally focused her attention on the rice seeds.

Wheat is still a bit expensive for her at this stage.

With rice, we can eat our fill and then plan for the future.

With that in mind, Xu Nian no longer hesitated and exchanged a large number of rice seeds at once, causing her balance to drop significantly.

Just as people were immersed in the excitement of the rain, Xu Nian walked to their side, took out a bag and handed it to them, saying, "Here you go. You don't need me to teach you what to do next, right?"

After saying that, Xu Nian got up and headed into the city without waiting for their reaction.

She still has a lot to do.

The people stared in astonishment at the tattered bag, which was filled with a large quantity of bright yellow rice seeds.

Overjoyed, they burst into tears, looking up at Xu Nian, wanting to express their gratitude.

But Xu Nian's figure had already disappeared into the rain. Her aloof and serene appearance was like that of an immortal who had fallen into the mortal world to help all living beings, doing good deeds and then withdrawing unscathed, keeping her merits and fame hidden...
