Chapter 22
After a few more days, Ji Mingqing had carved more than a dozen broken rocking cars, and all the wooden boards had been used up, but he still hadn't figured out a suitable formation.
Ji Mingqing threw the last car body in his hand to the ground with a "bang", and then rubbed his face hard.
"I'm so annoyed!" He rarely showed an irritable mood. The first time he encountered an insurmountable problem, Ji Mingqing felt very powerless, especially when he thought about the useless work he had done in the past few afternoons, which made him feel it was not worth it.
"My time is wasted. Why don't I do something else?" Ji Mingqing stood up and rubbed his waist. "I almost had a herniated disc after doing this for a few days."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cui Ding about to leave.
"Cui Ding! Where are you going!" Ji Mingqing shouted with all his might. He was not going to skip work, was he? He was caught red-handed!
Cui Ding didn't expect that he would be caught. Just now, the master asked him to go out and said he had something to discuss with him, but as soon as he went out, he met Ji Mingqing.
"What are you going to do?" Ji Mingqing looked at Cui Ding with a curious look.
Cui Ding felt guilty for a moment, but then he realized how could he show weakness in front of a little immortal, so he straightened his chest, trying to restore his former dignity, but then he heard Bai Cangze's voice in his ears.
"Say you're going to chop down a tree."
Cui Ding's newly built-up momentum was immediately shattered by Bai Cangze's words, and he mumbled, "I'm going to go chop down some trees."
Ji Mingqing immediately said a little embarrassedly, "Are you going to help me chop down trees? Thank you. Can you chop down more this time? Or can we cut them into planks like last time?" Ji Mingqing scratched his head and added, "I'll make you some plum drink when I get back."
Lumei is a fruit similar to plums in the fairy world, but it is more refreshing than the plums he has eaten before. It is just a bit expensive, so Ji Mingqing is reluctant to drink it himself.
"That's great!" Cui Ding immediately forgot his idea of showing off in front of Ji Mingqing, and instead began to recall the delicious taste of the Lumei drink.
Last time, Boss Ji made some for them to drink. It was cool, sour and sweet. If he could drink a cup like this when attacking the Demon Clan’s Yeyan City, he might be able to chop off a few more demon heads.
After Cui Ding left, he quickly sent a message to Bai Cangze, "My Lord, what are your instructions?"
"Didn't I tell you to go chop down trees?"
Cui Ding: "...So they really just asked him to chop down trees."
Ji Mingqing watched Cui Ding's back as he left, then turned around and walked into the restaurant. He looked at Xu Yihe who was busy from time to time, and suddenly felt a sense of security and satisfaction. The bitterness that had lingered in his heart because of the failure in developing the formation gradually dissipated.
He is no longer the person who had nothing.
Ji Mingqing quickly adjusted his mindset, left the prepared plum drink in the restaurant, and returned to the courtyard, ready to try a simpler route.
"Xiaowan, do you want to take the train? Woo woo woo woo!" Ji Mingqing made a fierce gesture towards Xiaowan, but he didn't dare to get close to her. The last time he touched Xiaowan's tail twice, Xiaowan still didn't want to get close to him and even disappeared for a day.
Xiaowan didn't even want to lie in the kitten bed that I made for him.
So in recent days, apart from studying the formation, Ji Mingqing's biggest task is to make Xiaowan happy. As a result, Xiaowan still doesn't appreciate it at all, but Ji Mingqing is not discouraged at all.
Although they are not close, Xiaowan must still likes me the most, otherwise why would he come to Fengxiyuan every day.
Seeing that Xiaowan still had no reaction, Ji Mingqing raised his eyebrows, as if he regarded this as a challenging game.
"When the little train comes out, you'll definitely like it."
Ji Mingqing initially chose to research rocking cars instead of trains because there were no such means of transportation as trains in the fairy world. If he made a train that could be played with in the palm of his hand, the fairies might be confused.
If the image of the train is not established in the minds of the gods, how could anyone be interested in it?
Secondly, he wanted to make a big one. Although it didn't need to be as large as a real train, at least one carriage could accommodate four adults.
Finally, the biggest problem is that if he wants the train to really run, he has to build roads!
In the fairy world, there is a car called the Duanyun Car. It can fly in the sky, run on land, and even float on the sea. However, it is based on clouds, so you can't feel the bumps when you sit on it.
The train that Ji Mingqing was going to make was just the opposite. He could feel the bumps of the train and the vibrations when the tracks touched each other in the carriage, as well as the scenery around him while riding. These were all wonderful experiences that a completely enclosed end-cloud car could not bring.
The train track is difficult to build. The materials used to build the train track are not something he can easily get in the mountains and rivers. Even if it is the cheapest material in the fairy world, he cannot afford it with his current wealth.
So for now, we should build a smooth road. If the profit is good, we can upgrade it when we have money in the future.
Ji Mingqing made up his mind. He then grabbed Cui Ding, who had just returned, and asked, "Do you know anyone who can build roads?"
Building roads? Cui Ding said without hesitation: "I know how to build roads!"
Back then, the army of the demon world wanted to rely on the natural barrier to besiege the warriors of the fairy world, but they relied on themselves to move the mountain into the abyss and pave the way, which led everyone to the road to victory!
Cui Ding couldn't help but puff out his chest with pride, this was his proudest achievement. The Lord had even rewarded him with a sword for finding people. This sword was extremely sharp and it was rumored that it was the weapon used by the Mother of Chaos when she created the world. It could kill gods and Buddhas and step into the sky. As long as he got the sword in his hands, the whole world would give way to him!
"Have you finished chopping the wood?" Ji Mingqing suddenly remembered that Cui Ding had gone out to chop wood, and Cui Ding finally came back to his senses from his memories. "Alright, alright."
Alas, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it can only cut down trees here.
"You said you can build a road? Tell me how you build it first." Ji Mingqing looked at Cui Ding and asked with a questioning look on his face.
"It's very simple. All we have to do is move the mountain and fill the river." Cui Ding looked around at the terrain. There was not even a deep ditch in this place. It was a waste of his talent to ask him to build a road.
Ji Mingqing, who had no idea that Cui Ding regretted being wasted, immediately decided to find someone after hearing his words. So he contacted Zhao Jingying again. However, Zhao Jingying had now entered a closed secret realm and had no time. Ji Mingqing frowned as he looked at the fairy ring in his hand.
Or do it yourself? You're an immortal after all, so how can you not do this?
But the next second he would think of his broken axe and his numb arm. He touched his arm with lingering fear and decided to give up and try to find a professional.
But there was no rush. Ji Mingqing had to make the prototype of the train first. He drew a sketch based on the appearance of the shopping mall train in his memory. After finishing the sketch, he took the formation book and began to select the formation that could be engraved on the train.
This time, the formation did not require Ji Mingqing to spend too much time. He only needed to copy a few suitable formations from the Duanyun car and then test them.
Yu Xie Jimingqing carefully studied the formations of the Duanyun car and picked out three formations that were most suitable for the train.
One is called "Youlu Xingchuan", which is a bit like the engine in a car and is specifically used to provide power for the car. It can convert the fairy energy in the air into driving energy when the Duanyun car starts.
There is also one called "Duan Ruoqi Ding", which is used to protect the safety of the immortals riding in the car. If any problem occurs with the Duanyun car, this formation will instantly absorb the immortal energy of "Youlu Xingchuan" to its side, forming a huge protective film to ensure that the immortals will not be harmed in the car.
This is much more advanced than a seat belt. Seat belts can easily squeeze your neck, but this one won’t give you a headache even if you get hit.
It is especially suitable for his program that targets children.
In addition to these two, Ji Mingqing drew a few more formations on paper and prepared to study them carefully. After he recorded them all, he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," Ji Mingqing replied, checking the paper in his hand one last time. He looked up and saw Xu Yihe walking in. Ji Mingqing smiled and asked, "What's going on?"
Xu Yihe cupped his fist towards Ji Mingqing, then asked, "I heard you were looking for someone to repair the road? So I came here to recommend myself."
Ji Ming noticed that Xu Yihe's attitude towards his recommendation was completely different from Cui Ding's. He pointed to the stool in front of him, motioning Xu Yihe to sit down, and then said with a hint of anticipation, "Tell me more about it."
Xu Yihe slowly said, "If you say building a road is simple, I've seen people building roads before. All they have to do is tamp the earth down and make it smooth. I'm quite experienced in earthwork, so I wonder if you could give it a try."
That's amazing! Xu Yihe is so much more reliable than Cui Ding!
Ji Mingqing immediately took out a piece of white paper and said to Xu Yihe, "I want to start here, then follow this direction and drive around the border of the land I own. The starting point and the end point are set at the same place. Do you think it is feasible?"
Ji Mingqing wanted to set up a toll booth directly near the restaurant, and then drive around the area, prohibiting people from getting off the bus. This way, the driving time would be long, and he could collect more money.
But he certainly couldn't express his true thoughts. "The little fairies in the fairy world have never seen this kind of vehicle before. Increasing the driving distance would also enhance their experience. What do you think?"
After hearing what Ji Mingqing said, Xu Yihe nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, if Fengxiyuan expands in the future, the passengers on the bus will be able to see a different scenery."
The word "expansion" resonated deeply with Ji Mingqing, "You're right, it will definitely work in no time!"
Before leaving, Xu Yihe said a few more nice words, which made Ji Mingqing smile from ear to ear. The two agreed to start repairing the road the next day. At the same time, he also told Cui Ding that he would no longer need to go out for publicity every morning, so that he could replace Xu Yihe.
Cui Ding, who is lazy every morning, "..."
Xu Yihe is cheating me!
The author has something to say:
Cui Ding: My former colleagues blocked my way to slack off. The world is going downhill!

I typed this chapter while lying on the bed.
I woke up yesterday and found my waist hurt, and then I couldn’t move. I laughed at myself speechlessly.
How restless I am in my sleep!
