Chapter 126 'Zhizhi' still has something on her body...
The muffled thuds of fists and kicks and He Zhuo's signature shouts came from the front yard, a stark contrast to the tranquility of the backyard.
On the gnarled branches of the old locust tree, Gangzi was preening his feathers with his beak, while the vines swayed gently around the branches.
Under the shade of the tree, Lu Beiye tightly gripped Lu Nange's fingers, and moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on his face.
Lu Beiye looked up with a serious expression: "Sis, the extreme heat is here. The temperature will stay this high for the next few months; it won't drop. We can only go out at night until a torrential downpour ends the heat, and then it'll be polar night..."
Lu Nan, the singer, propped herself up on her knees and looked him straight in the eye: "A-Ye, what happens after the polar night?"
Lu Beiye: "I didn't live to see that day..."
Lu Nange ruffled his hair vigorously: "This time, your sister will accompany Aye."
She took Lu Beiye's hand and led him to the front yard.
[Extreme heat, polar night... next should be extreme cold, right?] She was calculating in her mind when suddenly—
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a hidden mission—Rescue Chiayi City!]
[Reward: One smart home assistant.]
Lu Nange paused in her tracks: [A smart butler? Does that mean I won't have to do any chores myself anymore?]
A cheerful electronic voice chimed in: "[Yes, Nan Nan~ Your smart assistant is 1088! As long as you give 1088 a command in your mind, it can even scatter seeds with millimeter-level precision!]"
Lu Nange led Lu Beiye back to the corridor and sat down.
As soon as the command was given in my mind, the robot-shaped smart butler 1088 in the space immediately began to operate—truly a farming expert, harvesting, tilling the soil, sowing seeds...
Just as she was about to exit consciousness with satisfaction, she suddenly remembered: [Hey, I've been away from Jia City for several days now, this reward is a bit ridiculously delayed?]
Youyou: [Nannan, the system is error-free. Pei Qique officially took command of the Jia City base at 18:23 today. Note: This character's health has recovered.]
......
For three consecutive days, the scorching sun baked the earth like a furnace, turning the entire temple into a giant steamer.
Although the temple is nestled among dense forests, with ancient trees casting dappled shadows, the stone slabs under the shade of the trees are so hot during the day that you could fry an egg on them.
Everyone's schedules were completely reversed, with people sleeping during the day and being out at night—the daytime temperature was so high that there was no need to worry about anyone getting close.
After the sun went down and the temperature dropped, they began to move around in the yard.
Even at night, a dozen or so bowls of ice need to be placed in the courtyard, along with a fan, to feel cool.
These past few days, Wen Qing and Luo Xingyou have been cooking all sorts of different dishes.
Everyone was constantly enjoying iced milk tea, chilled plum juice, cold dishes, and cold noodles...
"Extreme weather might not be a one-off event," Lu Nange stirred the ice in her glass. "There might be extreme cold and polar nights coming..."
He Zhuo slammed his teacup down on the table, looked up at the sky, and said, "Extreme cold, polar night? Good heavens, it seems like nothing related to humans is going to happen to us. Can't we at least catch our breath?"
......
The following day, as dusk began to fall, the sounds of felling trees echoed all around the temple.
He Zhuo and Ji Xian were in charge of turning over the soil and loosening the tree roots.
Chi Yi and 'Zhi Zhi' were responsible for using vines to uproot the trees.
The others were responsible for cutting the tree into small pieces so that Lu Nange could store them in her spatial storage. In case of extreme cold, at the very least, they could burn firewood to keep warm.
After the sun had completely set, Ji Xian, He Zhuo, and Chi Yi turned the soil in the backyard, using their supernatural abilities to accelerate the growth of vegetables and fruits.
The aroma wafting from the kitchen was a mingled blend of the savory scent of roasting jerky and the rich sweetness of simmering jam...
Wen Qing and Luo Xingyou acted like two commanders, with the others assisting them according to their instructions...
Because the amount of ice consumed was very large, in the corridor, Gu Qi's water-based superpower combined with Gangzi's ice-based ability caused the ice to be piled up layer by layer in the basin.
