Before long, a group of giant rock slimes followed Xiangling and hopped over to Jiangmu.
"Brother Jiang Mu..." Xiangling said with some worry as she approached Jiang Mu.
"Watch me."
Jiang Mu waved confidently, then clenched his hand, which was coated with the medicine.
Success or failure hinges on this!
In the blink of an eye, three slimes arrived in front of the two.
Xiangling instinctively gripped the box containing the Extinction Star. If anything unexpected happened, even if she was knocked down by these slimes, she would make sure Jiang Mu left safely!
Finally, just before the slime collided with Jiang Mu, Jiang Mu swiftly clapped his hands, striking the slime's body.
The slime that was hit paused for a moment, then slammed straight to the ground with a crisp "thump".
"Brother Jiang Mu, what is this...?"
Xiangling asked curiously, but before she could finish speaking, the slime on the ground suddenly bounced up.
"ah!"
Xiangling was startled and was about to raise her spear to strike when...
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Mu stopped her.
"Why... eh?"
To Xiangling's surprise, the slime, which had been extremely irritable just moments before, became very... well-behaved after seeing Jiang Mu, as if it were seeing its master's pet.
Xiangling didn't know why she used that adjective, but watching the three slimes slowly arching their legs around Jiang Mu's, she unconsciously reached out her hand...
"So cute, I want to pet it..."
The feeling of holding it was like touching a stone...
No, logically speaking, a rock slime formed from the solidification of rock elements should be just a piece of stone...
“Uh, these slimes have already been…uh…tamed by me…” Jiang Mu said to Xiang Ling.
"oh."
Upon hearing this, Xiangling nodded.
You believe that just like that?
Jiang Mu was taken aback; he had come up with so many reasons...
"Brother, you're not lying to me, are you?"
Xiangling asked with a smile.
"I don't think so..."
Jiang Mu scratched his head, his gaze unconsciously shifting to the side.
"What do you mean 'should'!" Xiangling pouted in dissatisfaction. "I trust you unconditionally..."
"Let's go," Jiang Mu changed the subject, "Let's go take a look at the fields."
"Tch, I'll let you off this time."
Xiangling muttered to herself, but her body still followed along.
"Hmm, this piece of land is nice..."
"Oh, I can plant some here..."
"Wow, this is truly a treasure trove..."
As Jiang Mu walked, he kept clicking his tongue in admiration.
This puzzled Xiangling. Was her father really that blind...?
"Oh, Xiangling is back."
As the two were observing, an old voice rang out from the side.
The two turned to look, and Xiangling exclaimed in surprise.
"Grandpa Hanfeng, what are you doing here?"
"I've handed over Hanfeng Ironware to my son and am now retiring here. Qingce Village is quite quiet, suitable for retirement."
After saying that, he glanced at Xiangling and Jiang Mu beside her and said, "What's going on with you guys...?"
"Oh," Xiangling introduced, "This is Brother Jiang Mu. My dad sold our land to him, and now I'm bringing him here to show him the way."
When Jiang Mu saw that Grandpa Hanfeng was looking at him, he nodded back.
"Although the young man looks a bit rough around the edges, he's a nice guy."
After giving Jiang Mupin a thorough critique, Han Feng nodded in satisfaction.
"ha?"
Jiang Mu looked completely bewildered, while Xiang Ling quickly waved her hand.
"No, no, Grandpa, you've misunderstood. We're not in that kind of relationship..."
"Sigh—as people get older, they just like to meddle in other people's business. Oh well, I won't get involved in your young people's affairs, haha..."
Old Master Han Feng smiled mysteriously and said calmly.
“Young man, I live nearby and have a few acres of land. If you don’t mind, you can take it and farm it. Just come over and chat with me every now and then.”
With that, he waved and walked away.
"This old man is really an interesting person."
Jiang Mu smiled.
"Yes, yes, hahaha..."
Xiangling gave a dry laugh.
"Let's go." Jiang Mu patted Xiangling's head and said, "We've looked at the places enough, it's time to prepare the hot pot."
"Warm the pot?"
Hearing a word she wasn't familiar with, Xiangling curiously repeated it.
“In my hometown, when a family moves to a new house, the host family usually prepares one or more tables of feast to reward the friends who helped them during the move,” Jiang Mu explained. “At the same time, it also has the meaning of warming the home. Since cooking requires a pot, it’s called ‘warming the pot.’”
"I see……"
Xiangling nodded in understanding, then said excitedly.
"Brother Jiang Mu, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Please help me..."
Jiang Mu thought for a moment and then smiled.
“I see there are some bamboo groves around here. I wonder if there are any bamboo shoots inside. Would you like to go and take a look for me?”
"Bamboo shoots? Great!"
Xiangling laughed and called out to Guoba, who was chasing butterflies nearby.
"Guoba, let's go!"
"Lulu lulu~"
Upon hearing this, Guoba trotted over on his short legs, waved at Jiang Mu, and then followed Xiangling happily.
"system."
After confirming that Xiangling and Guoba had gone far away, Jiang Mu silently recited in his heart.
"Dear host, what are your orders?"
"Projection House"
"There are 2,800 available residential templates, including but not limited to Chinese-style bungalows, courtyard houses, small Western-style buildings, Romanesque architecture, etc. Which one would you like to choose?"
"Is there a DIY mode?"
"DIY mode activated. Please select your materials and begin building."
Because the design was conceived in the mind, the house was assembled very quickly.
Jiang Mu surveyed his masterpiece with satisfaction.
"System, save the plan and project it."
"Okay, according to your plan, materials will be used in the surrounding environment for construction. Shall we continue?"
"yes."
"Your will."
During the breaks in system construction, Jiang Mu got bored and set his sights on a few wild boars in the vicinity.
"These wild boars are all free-range here, and their meat is of excellent quality."
"Plus, I promised Xiangling I'd cook her a new dish..."
"I'm sorry, Brother Pig!"
Jiang Mu took out an Awm sniper rifle from the system space, but after thinking about it, he put it back.
"If we want to preserve the flavor of the meat, then it's better to use the traditional method..."
As he spoke, Jiang Mu took out a crossbow and several bolts.
What, you're asking why there's an Awm?
That's a question for the lovely System Girl.
"Hmph~ This system is omnipotent, you know. A mere Awm isn't good enough for you. How about I get you a few space-based kinetic weapons?"
"I'd rather not have the Rod of God or anything like that. If I had the chance, I'd rather ask Old Master Zhongli to perform a 'Heaven and Earth Shattering Manifestation'."
Jiang Mu complained.
Despite his complaints, Jiang Mu's hands were moving very quickly.
Loading the arrow, chambering the chamber, aiming, firing, hitting the target—all done in one smooth motion.
What? You're asking why Jiang Mu is so skilled?
Jiang Mu can only tell you this.
“pRActIcE mAKES pERFEct.”
While Jiang Mu was busy, the system beside him had already set up the residence.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Jiang Mu patted the largest slime, then dragged his spoils into the house.
After that, several slimes hopped and skipped after them.
