Chapter 210 (Exclusive on Jinjiang Literature City): The government yamen runners have flown to the sky! ...
"My God! The ground is really starting to move on its own!"
"A deity, truly a living deity!"
The scene of supernatural earth-turning that the villagers of Yunlu Village had become accustomed to was, in the eyes of the officials and people of the prefectural city, a real miracle that could not be explained by folk magic!
While Liu Wenchi and the others were stunned into silence, the surrounding people had already unconsciously prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted "Long live the immortal!" and "Please the immortal protect us!" to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan did not respond to this, but after turning the soil, he gave the land an extra rain to nourish it.
A light drizzle suddenly began to fall inside the greenhouse, which had already been sealed off, and raindrops even fell on the greenhouse windows. This magical scene stirred the emotions of the people, and some even shed tears.
It's raining in the greenhouse!
He can even use the magic of rainmaking; he truly is a deity!
My dear father! Your son has actually seen a true immortal who understands magic in my lifetime!
[Hahaha, look at their expressions! I love seeing these locals so shocked by the streamer, I never get tired of watching!]
Although I've seen similar scenes a few times in Yunlu Village, it's still really exciting to watch.
[Look at that guy surnamed Zhao! He's clearly terrified by the streamer; his expression is absolutely horrifying!]
[You wouldn't believe it, would you? This streamer not only possesses a large amount of supplies, but also unimaginable combat power! Simply turning the ground and making rain is nothing compared to his true fighting strength—it will scare you to death!]
Liu Wenchi snapped out of his daze amidst the crowd's cries of "God!" He looked at Lu Xuan with the same shock, and couldn't help but wonder if the other was a god descended to earth.
At the same time, one can't help but think that since Lu Xuan has such extraordinary abilities, his statement that the disasters will continue is most likely true.
Liu Wenchi became increasingly vigilant, placing greater emphasis on the importance of the greenhouse and determined to keep a close eye on it, ensuring that the greenhouse's harvest would not be compromised in the slightest.
Zhang Tongzhi and Liu Ziming also realized this, and their faces became more serious.
Liu Ziming glanced at Zhao Tongpan, whose face was pale and whose expression was uncertain.
Having witnessed Lu Xuan's abilities firsthand, surely Magistrate Zhao wouldn't harbor any more wicked thoughts?
Lu Xuan showed little reaction to the people's attitude.
After thoroughly nourishing all the tilled soil in the greenhouse, several different mutated crop seeds were taken and their germination was accelerated on-site using wood-based supernatural abilities. The seeds were accelerated from germination and seedling growth to full maturity.
Everyone present: "!!!"
The seeds actually grew into a mature crop! It's incredible!
Could this person be not just a deity, but also Shennong?
No, that's not right.
Some people quickly noticed that the plants that Lu Xuan had induced to grow were quite different from the crops that grew in the ground in their memory. Whether they were suspected to be rice, wheat, or soybeans, they were all over two meters tall on average.
Isn't this growth rate a bit too outrageous?
Moreover, these crops were all crooked and twisted, with red and purple hues, looking abnormal no matter how you looked at them.
"Young Master Lu, what do these plants look like...?" Liu Wenchi asked hesitantly.
Lu Xuan squeezed the mature mutant soybeans out of their pods and then plucked a section of rice stalk and handed it to Liu Wenchi. "These are mutant crops. Their appearance is quite different from the original crops. The other mutant plants that I didn't induce to grow also have their own differences in appearance."
"Lord Liu can keep this in mind beforehand, so that the people responsible for cultivating the crops won't think there's a problem with the crops and uproot them later."
Liu Wenchi peeled back the husks of the rice ears and found that they were indeed filled with rice grains, and the grains were quite large, just like the ones Lu Xuan had treated them to for dinner before.
Knowing that Lu Xuan would not hand over any problematic grains or seeds, Liu Wenchi cautiously asked, "Are these oddly colored crops really edible? Are they without any harmful effects?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Aside from its unusual appearance, if there's any downside, it's probably that the yield is too high, and harvesting it will consume a lot of manpower."
Before Liu Wenchi could speak, some of the eavesdropping villagers couldn't help but say, "High yields are not a bad thing at all! We are not afraid of the hard work of harvesting! We wish for even higher yields!"
Others chimed in, "That's right! More production means we can have enough to eat."
It's normal to work hard, isn't it?
Even without natural disasters, making a living is not easy.
Many of the people present, including those from further away who hadn't come, had heard that the seeds given to the government office by the celestial messenger/deity were special and could be harvested in less than two months.
Before the greenhouse was opened, they were all skeptical, even more doubtful and dismissive.
Now that we've witnessed Lu Xuan's abilities firsthand, what's there to doubt?
Let alone less than two months, they would believe him even if he said he would make a profit every month, and they would be overjoyed and excited to the point of crawling all over the place.
Someone asked loudly, "Immortal Envoy, no, Your Excellency! You said these crops have a very high yield, but how high exactly? Can it exceed five hundred catties?"
The ordinary people who spoke up thought they were already very daring, but the viewers in the live broadcast room secretly shook their heads.
What's five hundred pounds? Think bigger about it!
Liu Wenchi was initially worried that Lu Xuan would reveal the data he had given them, and that if the target was not ultimately met, it would cause a backlash. However, Lu Xuan was clearly not worried about this issue at all, and calmly announced the number in public: "Add another thousand catties."
The people were stunned for a moment, then blinked.
What do you mean, add a thousand catties?
After a while, someone realized what was happening and their eyes widened slightly.
Does that mean we're adding another 1,000 jin to the base of 500 jin? Wouldn't that be 1,500 jin?
"hiss--!"
Gasps of breath came from inside the greenhouse, and several older residents couldn't help but clutch their hearts, which were pounding in their throats, clearly unable to withstand the immense shock.
Good heavens! A yield of 1,500 catties per mu? This must be some kind of divine rice!
While the people were shocked, an uncontrollable excitement also welled up inside them, and their gazes toward Lu Xuan became increasingly awe-inspiring and ardent.
In their eyes, Lu Xuan at this moment was no different from their adoptive parents, and even closer to them!
Some of the more proactive ones immediately kowtowed to Lu Xuan, their voices so loud that the people in the government office felt sorry for them.
The person in question looked ecstatic, so excited that it was almost manic, which gave people the creeps.
Even more surprisingly, this behavior is also contagious.
The other people, as if inspired, followed suit and began to kowtow.
The scene, orderly yet somewhat chaotic, resembled a cult worship session.
All officials: "..."
Seeing that the people were getting more and more exaggerated, Liu Wenchi cleared his throat and said, "Alright, stop kneeling and kowtowing. If you are willing, hurry up and get to work. As soon as possible, build all the greenhouses and plant the seeds so that everyone can eat the new grain sooner."
The people thought it made sense.
The celestial rice grown from seeds given by the gods might even cure all diseases.
It's just building a greenhouse, right? They stayed up all night and finished it all! They'll start planting tomorrow!
Thinking this to herself, her feet seemed to have a mind of their own, stubbornly clinging to the ground, refusing to move. Her gaze towards Lu Xuan was filled with lingering reluctance, a shy and hesitant expression, a lingering connection...
Live stream viewers: ???
In the end, it took Liu Ziming and Master Sun a long time of persuasion before they finally managed to get the person to leave.
Once Lu Xuan was out of sight, the hot-headed people finally calmed down a bit.
Then, recalling Lu Xuan's heroic feat of turning over the earth with a wave of his hand and then bringing rain with another, as well as the astonishing yield per mu that he had just learned, his desire to share surged to an unprecedented level. Without needing the officials to remind him, he quickened his pace and dispersed to the surroundings, excitedly pulling other people who were not present to spread the blessings of the gods.
As the news spread throughout the entire greenhouse planning area, the wilderness was in an uproar.
"You really didn't need to lift a finger to turn over several acres of land? Are you dreaming or something?"
"Our team is located relatively close to that area. I did feel a slight tremor just now. Could it be the Celestial Envoy turning over the ground?"
"And does that mutated crop really look strange? Are the fruits it produces edible?"
"How could it be fake? The officials in the government office have already eaten, and they're all perfectly healthy and lively."
"A yield of over 1,000 jin per mu—!? How is that possible!"
One of the local people present analyzed the situation with great confidence: "What's impossible about it? The rice that Immortal Lu cultivated was much taller than a person, and the rice ears were thicker than radishes. Each ear could produce countless grains of rice. How could the yield not be high?"
"Think about the enormous radishes and cabbages we used for the communal meal yesterday. If other fruits and vegetables grew that big, wouldn't it be normal for the yield to increase several times over?"
Others: That makes sense!
Someone murmured, "If we could really produce that much grain and vegetables, we wouldn't have to worry about going hungry anymore, would we?"
The others' eyes flickered after hearing this, and after a long silence, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in their eyes.
The supplies distributed by the government yesterday will certainly keep them from going hungry for the next ten days or half a month, but how can short-term rations compare to long-term gains?
It wasn't until it was confirmed that spring planting would finally begin properly in the prefectural city, and that they would have a stable source of food in the future, that the people, who had been living like zombies for more than half a year, truly began to show new vitality.
When Liu Wenchi came out of the greenhouse and saw the smiles on the faces of the people and their bright eyes, he was momentarily stunned. Then, as if he understood something, he slowly smiled as well.
·
The enthusiasm of the people for building warm houses is at an all-time high.
Fifty thousand people worked tirelessly for three days, including a trip back to the government office to collect a fixed amount of relief grain, before all ten thousand mu of greenhouses were finally completed.
Looking at the vast, still empty greenhouse fields stretching as far as the eye can see, the people seem to already envision a future where the fields will be filled with the fragrance of ripe rice and overflowing with bountiful harvests.
While people were busy outside the city, those who stayed inside also had some strange experiences.
Liu Wenchi bought a batch of weapons and hoverboards for the government office. The weapons were temporarily useless, but the constables were very interested in the hoverboards that could carry people.
Apart from those who went outside the city to supervise the construction, the clerks who stayed at the government office learned how to use a skateboard from Lu Xuan and practiced how to control it almost every day.
On the first day, because they had no experience, everyone just practiced in the courtyard of the government office.
The next day, some people tried flying over the city a few times.
At first, the people in the city were startled when they saw something fly out of the government office, thinking that the celestial messenger had a new companion. But upon closer inspection, they realized that the person was wearing the uniform of a government official.
Someone couldn't help but scream: "The government yamen runners have flown to the sky!"
"What!?"
"They really went to space? What happened?"
The people were filled with surprise and doubt. Some of the children, who had eaten their fill and even had some candy these past two days and whose spirits had been restored, were excitedly yelling and chasing after the messengers flying around in the sky.
The newly trained constables were not very skilled at using it, and often, while flying, someone would lose their balance and end up hanging in the air.
The sight terrified the people, and some even rushed over to try and save the person. Of course, the person didn't fall in the end. Soon, the people discovered that the flying board would automatically rise and lock the driver's feet in case of an accident. It looked scary, but it was actually not dangerous at all.
After seeing the upside-down scene dozens of times a day, the people gradually calmed down. Their shock and tension quickly turned into amazement and amusement. Every time someone flew by, a crowd would gather around as if watching a magic trick.
By the time the greenhouse was completed, some of the constables were no longer allowed to be hung upside down and made a laughingstock of themselves, and the speed of the skateboards was getting faster and faster.
Just as the officials were performing their flying feats and the people were enjoying the spectacle, Chu Ming, the garrison commander who had gone out to intimidate the surrounding area, returned to the city.

My next book to be released is a romance novel, "The Max-Level Boss's Raft Survival."
Text: Abnormal climate, ocean pollution, global warming
When humanity ravaged the blue planet beyond recognition, the game of survival at sea suddenly arrived.
People panicked and became hysterical because of the sudden change, but Yu Tang, who possessed mermaid genes and had off-the-charts combat power, suddenly brightened up when she looked at the pure and vast sea.
Soon, many players discovered that one player's art style was completely different from theirs!
·
When others hold a fishing rod and can't catch a single fish for half a day...
Yu Tang, who has a built-in aura that intimidates marine life, has achieved seafood freedom, with salmon, tuna, lobster, and abalone all at her disposal!
·
While others were still barely managing to get one or two treasure chests by scavenging trash...
Yu Tang swung his claws and killed countless big fish, opened treasure chests until his hands were sore, and had so many rare resources that he couldn't even count them all!
·
Landing on the island to kill the BOSS, surviving natural disasters, exploring the ocean depths—tests that would require serious preparation for others are so easy in Yu Tang's eyes!
Yu Tang: Trying to return to the real world? No, no, no, I can play this game forever!
Survival System: QAQ! Get out of here—!
·
·
Just when Yu Tang thought he could do whatever he wanted in the game—he went into heat!
Yu Tang: ? ? ?
I'd accept a fish tail, but mating season? Don't be ridiculous!
But then I thought, I was single before the survival game came along, and now that it's the apocalypse, what's wrong with me having some fun?! (Full of self-righteousness)
On a whim, Yu Tang sent someone an invitation to join the rafting activity: Shall we do it?
The man's eyes were deep and dark, with a burning intensity that seemed to want to devour him whole. Without hesitation, he replied: Do it!
·
Players all thought that the two top players in this server were like kings who would never meet, and that whenever they met, there would definitely be a fierce battle.
Little did they know, the two had already been secretly having an affair behind everyone's back.
