Chapter 211 After the severe drought came a severe flood, everything was demolished and rebuilt.
Shu Xin was speechless with emotion—"After a great drought comes a great flood, right?! How can this be happening even in a magical world!"
However, it is always a good thing to receive an early warning, and the regulations for dealing with potential floods in the Land of Sin were quickly formulated.
SkySea could not be allowed to continue expanding. Bretzman volunteered to help divide SkySea, but Shuxin decisively refused and sent her back to teaching. Shuxin then entrusted the matter to Xi.
The salt lake area has been cleared out, and all the previous brine has been dried into salt. Although the demons, who just finished the harvest month, are in a relatively stable state after a vigorous battle, this is obviously temporary. Shu Xin felt it was safer to find them something to do.
Many demons can fly, and they can control their magic well, so they no longer carry poisons. In addition, there are white-feathered birds that live in the clouds high in the sky who can help. Shu Xin felt that there should be no major problem.
...Speaking of which, Shu Xin still doesn't know where in the sky these Wind Feather Eagles built their nest.
While handing over her work to Xi, Shu Xin thought that if she had time, she would go up to the sky with the demons. When she went to the Sky Sea before, whether it was to fetch water or try to separate the cumulonimbus clouds, the commotion was quite significant, but she never saw even a single Wind Feather Eagle from beginning to end.
Once the problems in the sky are solved, it's time to solve the problems on earth.
Rainwater that may accumulate on the surface is easy to handle. This water can be collected, treated, and transferred to the salt lake area in the underground city. The salt lake area can then be used for aquaculture, planting aquatic vegetables, and developing it into a super-large water park would also be a great option!
This part of the work was left to the non-flying demons. They only needed to draw transfer magic circles on the designated low-lying areas under Bluehorn's guidance.
The most difficult problem to solve is actually the humidity in the air, which will inevitably increase significantly.
Previously, considering that as the magical conditions of the Land of Sin continued to improve, the rainy season would eventually return to normal, Shu Xin specially made plant leather from snow dragon fruit branches to build a shed for the magic workshop made of white clay, which could both provide shade and shelter from the rain. However, the moisture in the air could not be isolated by the shed alone.
After several rounds of careful discussion in the conference room, the two construction officers made the final decision to demolish and rebuild all the magic workshops made of white clay.
Small magic workshops can be directly modified from the bamboo tube houses in the Giant Dragon Bamboo Building, and large magic workshops can also be built directly from Giant Dragon Bamboo. Many of the flower fairies under the Construction Officer have built bamboo houses before, so even if it is to use super-huge bamboo to build an equally huge magic workshop, Nanaja said with certainty that this is not a problem.
In this way, it is equivalent to rebuilding the entire industrial area, since the previous Sinful Land had no other usable building materials besides the Tree of Life and white clay.
However, there are not many large magic workshops that need to be completely rebuilt. The Sinful Lands only has three bread workshops, three brewing workshops, one dried fruit workshop, and one freeze-drying workshop. Except for the three bread workshops, which are still operating normally, the other workshops have stopped operating due to the prolonged drought.
Currently, the bread and desserts produced by the bakery are only used as relief food, provided to flower fairies who have just arrived in the land of sin and have not yet found work. Flower fairies who find work can receive various foods and ingredients as wages.
This part of the work is actually quite tedious. When Shu Xin passed by the conference room, she often saw the tax officer nodding and pulling four administrative officers into a meeting. Sometimes, several of the four service officers were also pulled into the meeting. Every time Shu Xin heard the arguing coming from inside, she would tiptoe away quickly.
This flood control work seems to be mainly the responsibility of the construction officer, but the administrative officers also have a lot of work to do!
Small magic workshops are diverse in type and numerous. The early magic workshops, apart from fifteen medical rooms, one fruit pulp workshop, six fruit wine workshops, five wand workshops, and eight weaving workshops, were all built with white clay.
The medical room and wand workshop are still operating normally. Unlike the bakery, which is a fully automated, unmanned workshop, both the medical room and wand workshop have staff stationed there. The personnel arrangements and scheduling during the reconstruction period fall under the purview of the administrative officer.
Fortunately, the small workshops built afterward did not use white clay again.
The cloak workshop was built with fruitwood, while the paper workshop, as well as the MSG workshop, cloth workshop, and sugar powder workshop that followed, were all built with lake mud and fruitwood. Shu Xin planned to use teleportation magic to move all these small workshops to the completed Giant Dragon Bamboo Building, which would be convenient and quick.
After that, the entire Sinful Land was bustling with activity. Not only did the reconstruction of the industrial zone require a large workforce, but also, because the flood was unpredictable, surface farming and harvesting had to continue as normal until then. However, since the flood was certain to come, the underground city's fields also needed to be tended even more carefully to prevent a poor harvest on the surface that could lead to starving flower fairies.
Merchants from the land of sin had set off long ago, and the faster caravans had returned with large numbers of slaves, either bought or acquired!
The first rain came earlier than expected.
As the cool, drizzling rain brushed against her cheeks, Shu Xin, Xi, and the demons flew into the sky together.
Dividing the sky and sea was not as simple as it sounded. Shu Xin naturally didn't just hand the task over to Xi and leave it to her. She went to find Blatzman, who then meticulously taught the demons all the precautions for dividing the sky and sea.
Having mastered the theory, it was time to put it into practice. That day, Shu Xin postponed her work on cultivating the giant dragon bamboo until the afternoon and enthusiastically joined the demon race's ascending squad.
On one hand, she wanted to go to the scene to see for herself and find out where the Wind Feather Eagle lived in the sky. On the other hand, she also wanted to provide backup for the demons. It's better to be safe than sorry. If the demons accidentally made a mistake, Xi could help them, and she could help them too. Double insurance means double safety.
But no one expected that before they even took to the sky, fine rain began to fall from the high dome of the sky.
Shu Xin could feel that the hair on the top of her head quickly became damp.
The expansion of the Sky Sea forced them to spend more time flying to its edge. After passing through the thick clouds, they were soaked. The sight that came into view left Shu Xin speechless for a moment—
The sky and sea, which were originally like lakes accumulating in the clouds, have changed dramatically. The cumulonimbus clouds, which look quite substantial, are piled up like mountains, towering and majestic, hanging in the sky and sea with great awe. The water elements in them are also almost materialized. The calm, mirror-like surface of the water in my memory is now rippling with layers of water as the water elements drip.
Rippling water, boundless and endless.

Author's Note: ...If you have chipped bowls or plates at home, just throw them away. I had a cat bowl that my cat broke, leaving a small chip. Because the cat bowl was quite cute, I didn't throw it away. Then, when I was washing it, I didn't notice that the chip had gotten bigger without my knowledge. And then, without warning, I cut my hand badly, right on the pad of my right finger! Aaaaaah!!! [Makes a meaningless scream]
