Chapter 107 Thunderstorm Disaster
"What's going on?" Lin Muqiu frowned. "Shouldn't lightning come so quickly?"
The system proudly stood up. "I know! Tornadoes bring strong air convection, which can cause a large amount of static electricity, generating lightning. Host, everything has two sides. While you enjoy convenience, there will definitely be some minor troubles. This is not the system targeting you."
"Oh~" Lin Muqiu suddenly realized.
"What are you doing?" The system had a bad feeling.
Lin Muqiu smiled and took the magic stone and was about to go out. "Since the tornado will bring a lot of lightning, I must collect it."
system:?
It was stunned for a long time, "Host, please don't go too far."
Lin Muqiu smiled harmlessly, "I'm not only going to use the magic stone to collect wind energy, but also to collect the heat, electricity, and potential energy consumed by its rotation and friction! Isn't this a reward you've given me through the management system? The magic stone can absorb energy again!"
The system was silent. "You can't bully people like this!"
Energy can only be transformed, not disappear, and then the host uses the magic stone to collect the converted energy. Isn't that equivalent to almost no loss?
After all, other forms of energy can be converted back into each other.
Damn, the Philosopher's Stone has been passed down for three generations, so even if a person dies, the Stone is still there, right?
The system began to howl, "You bully me, you bully me!"
Lin Muqiu said righteously: "I am not bullying people, I am bullying the system."
system:"……"
It cried, he really cried.
It turned into the brain waves of a crying big dog, running around in Lin Muqiu's mind.
"Stop howling," Lin Muqiu said, annoyed, plugging his ears. "When did you upgrade your system? Why does the image of the little man look so similar to the one in my Lord's system?"
And she also looks a bit like Yun Yi.
The system cried, "That was designed by the main system. Are you envious, host?"
Lin Muqiu: Indifferent.jpg
She said nothing, picked up her coat and left.
System: "What are you doing?!"
Lin Muqiu: "Collecting electrical energy."
System: “…” OK
When Lin Muqiu arrived outside the city, he tied the magic stone and the lightning rod together, ready to absorb it.
Fortunately, this continent has lightning rods.
In fact, to be precise, the lightning rod itself cannot avoid lightning. It is a lightning conductor that conducts lightning underground, ensuring the safety of other buildings from being struck by lightning.
This is very helpful for the magic stone to absorb energy.
But Lin Muqiu didn't plan to open an electric magic stone shop, as that would be a waste of his talent.
The winter on the mainland was much harsher than the modern winter, and could be called the devil's season, with polar nights, extreme cold, frostbite and avalanches occurring at any time.
These natural disaster protection shields are completely useless. Even if she can withstand it, the townspeople can't. Even if the townspeople can withstand it, the plants can't.
She had to prepare early.
So electricity is very useful.
Whether it is converted into light energy or heat energy, it can greatly protect the safety of life and property of the townspeople throughout the winter.
Lin Muqiu was handling a series of tasks when the manager of the Central Chamber of Commerce teleported over early and sat in the lord's hall waiting for her.
When the steward heard about this, he immediately became angry. After several confrontations with Lin Muqiu, he could sense that Lin Muqiu was not a good person. But Brusky still had to provoke him. Didn't he think his death was not fast enough?
What an idiot!
He could even imagine the embarrassing situation he would face once the news of the Central Chamber of Commerce's malicious competition spread.
He is the manager, and everyone will just think that he ordered it.
The reputation of the Central Chamber of Commerce has plummeted, and everyone will only blame him.
He waited anxiously, and finally Lin Muqiu came slowly calculating the accounts and holding the account book.
The rustling sound of turning pages stirred his heart.
Outside the window, purple lightning crackled, as deafening as thunder.
"What do you want, my lord?"
The Central Manager could not hold back any longer and asked first.
"compensation."
Hearing this, he felt relieved.
If there is demand, it proves that negotiation is possible, and that makes things easy.
"How much money do you want, sir?"
"The amount of compensation you give me determines how I publicize this matter. Everything else remains the same."
A bright purple bolt of lightning struck outside the window, stinging his eyes.
The Central Steward raised an expression that was uglier than crying and said, "My Lord, are you joking?"
In other words, even if she paid compensation, Lin Muqiu would still let Brusky go to jail, but if she paid more, she would not publicize the matter.
Lin Muqiu handed him the tea and said, "Suppressing competitors, isn't this what I learned from you?"
The Chamber of Commerce manager took the tea, which was the best Longjing tea, but he couldn't express his bitterness.
See? See!
Sure enough, everyone thought he did it!
What the hell is going on?
He felt that the tea was more bitter than his life, and it burned his mouth after drinking it. "Master Lin, you are joking. How much do you want?"
Lin Muqiu said without hesitation, "I want coal."
The thunder still roared outside the window.
The steward lowered his voice, "Sir, you don't know that mineral production is an important strategic material, and the imperial capital has strict control every year..."
"Just to control the fate of other towns, huh? Even if it means the death of many townspeople during the winter, the Imperial Capital must maintain its dominance, right?"
The butler fell silent again.
Fine beads of cold sweat rolled down from his forehead to his Adam's apple like a string of beads.
Lin Muqiu smiled, took out a cup of tea, and poured it on the lychee-shaped tea pet. Steam rose up, and the dark brown peel and flesh were instantly watered and turned white. "I believe that you can do it, just like this tea pet."
Wash the black into white and get the supplies.
Lin Muqiu leaned down and looked down at him. "Sir, if you help me, I promise that your reputation will not be damaged in the matter of Wind Express. After all, that was only done by the deputy general manager. It is none of your business, right?"
The Central Chamber of Commerce's throat moved.
What she meant was that she would put all the blame on the deputy steward and absolve him of any responsibility.
but……
He was unable to defend himself, "I really didn't do that!"
"Oh?" Lin Muqiu smiled and twirled his fingers. "Your Excellency doesn't seem to like tea very much. How about I perform a magic trick for you?"
"ah?"
The steward was stunned. Lin Muqiu gently pointed at the litchi tea pet and said, "biu~"
What?
The steward was even more confused.
A flash of purple lightning flashed outside the window.
With a loud bang, a small purple lightning struck the Litchi Tea Pet in the direction of Lin Muqiu's finger.
Whether red or white, it all turned into charcoal, leaving a burnt and pungent smell.
The steward's face turned pale, and when he touched his hand, he felt something electric.
[Unidentified substance: a pinch of ash (?)
Note: This material has just been struck by level 99 lightning and carries electrical energy. This energy has not yet dissipated, so please be careful of electrocution.
Level 99?
The steward nearly fell out of his chair.
After a while, he suddenly extended his hand and said, "Happy cooperation."
Lin Muqiu also extended his hand and smiled his signature gentle smile, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Soon, the two chatted about some other matters. The manager wanted to open up a trade route with Ankang Town and purchase various goods. Lin Muqiu agreed to all of his requests. Finally, she sent him out the door.
As soon as she went out, she saw Yun Yi and Augustine standing at the door, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
"What are you doing?" Lin Muqiu raised his eyebrows.
The two pursed their lips uncomfortably and pointed to the umbrellas beside them. "It's thundering, maybe the thunderstorm has arrived early. I see you don't have an umbrella, so..."
This is of course an excuse. After all, if the natural disaster really came earlier, they might not be here.
I must be very busy.
One was busy arranging the guards to provide disaster relief, while the other was busy patching and repairing data.
Lin Muqiu didn't think too much about it, "Oh, so that's it."
Yun Yi pointed at the umbrella with a smile.
Augustine looked normal, looking at her gently and expectantly.
Then, Lin Muqiu took out an umbrella from the ring and opened it quickly.
Both of them:?
Lin Muqiu explained with a smile, "Oh, isn't the rainy season coming soon? Of course I have to buy more umbrellas and wait to sell them."
Two people: I really have nothing to say to the career critic
Lin Muqiu was in a good mood, and he put his arm around their shoulders and joked, "Let's go. I hope the natural disaster comes sooner so I can continue my business journey."
They both: “…”
*
The prophecy came true, and the natural disaster of thunder, lightning and heavy rain really came early.
A night of torrential rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, came suddenly and terrifyingly.
There is a protective shield inside the town, so it is relatively safe, but not outside the town.
A group of townspeople who make their livings from agriculture were so anxious that they pulled out rain awnings to cover the land outside the town, crying, "Why are we so unlucky this year? There's still a lot of land outside the town that hasn't borne fruit! What if all the seedlings are drowned?"
Some townspeople were also very upset. "Are you still thinking about your little fruit? You might as well think about what to do about soil erosion. Poor Lord Lin, all his hard work is going to be wasted now!"
There were also townspeople covered in straw raincoats who fell flat on their faces, crying and wailing, "It's over, it's all over! I was relying on farming to make a living, and now the harvest is gone, I might as well die!"
Everyone hurried to stop him from committing suicide.
Someone stopped him, and the others continued to clean up.
The thunder and lightning were so fierce that even with the help of lightning rods, they dared not stay there for too long. They had to clean up the place quickly in the rain to minimize the losses.
However, there are unexpected events, even so, still——
[Ding! You have obtained the wetness status debuff:
Your chance of being struck by lightning increases by 30%, and you become Weakened, with your Action Points reduced by 30 and your Constitution reduced by 20.
(The debuff during the natural disaster state cannot be cured through the Civilian Academy.)
Note: If you continue to be immersed in rain for a long time, it will affect your life and health.
It was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was stunned.
If we don't let them collect the crops in the rain, won't that mean the food will drown before their eyes?!
And before winter, if the stored food is gone, isn't that the same as letting them die?!
Ever since Lin Muqiu came, they rarely experienced debuffs. This was also the first time they knew that the natural disaster state could not be treated by the Civilian Academy.
Isn't this going to cost them their lives?
Everyone's eyes were red, their teeth were clenched, and they endured the negative status buff and continued to clean up.
It's doomed anyway, so why not try to save it first!
When the other townspeople and guards saw this, they also became anxious and helped to clean up the mess, regardless of whether it was their own or not.
Land is common wealth, and the harvest is related to the safety of the entire town.
When everyone was busy, a notice was suddenly sent to everyone, and the sound of beeps kept coming.
At a time like this, who has time to watch?
Everyone's eyes turned red and they went crazy.
Someone suddenly shouted, "It's news from Lord Lin!"
Some people gradually opened the system to check: [All townspeople, please return to the city immediately. Don't worry about the land. I will help you clean it up. —Sent by Lin Muqiu]
"Clean it up! How do we clean it up?" Someone knelt on the ground, hands on their head, in agony. "Even if we put up a protective shield, can it really extend over such a large area, covering the entire town?"
Some people's tears were washed away by the rain. "It's over, everything is over! I saw the autumn harvest buff and thought we'd have a good harvest this year, so I bought a lot of land. Who could have imagined it would be like this!"
Someone cried, "Even if Lord Lin is willing to release it, how much money will it cost! Every inch of the protective shield increases will cost copper coins!"
The release of Lord skills consumes energy, just like the two sides of things. While releasing desires, you are also consuming yourself.
The old mayor, Kedro, was burning his own life.
Lin Muqiu consumed his own copper coins.
But they shouldn't have to bear the responsibility in order to save people.
Everyone was chattering and the place was in chaos.
"If all else fails, let's donate!" someone suddenly shouted. "Just like when the Civilian Academy was established, everyone should contribute a little, and Master Lin can expand the protective shield to get through this hurdle first!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they received a lot of response.
The townspeople present immediately opened the system and started donating.
Lin Muqiu, who was suddenly given money, responded: ???
