Chapter 7 Harvest Festival
First, test your strength. Concentrate all your body strength on your right hand, punch, and hit the airbag on the machine opposite with all your strength. The machine will immediately show your score.
The teacher recorded the results, giving each student three chances to take the highest score. Yun Xiang scored an 8, above average, a score many students achieved in this category.
The second item is speed, which measures attack speed and reaction speed, which is similar to what Yunxiang usually practices.
There are three types of balls shot out from the machine. The red ball needs to be dodged, and the yellow and green balls need to be hit back into the corresponding color area using a racket.
The area was covered with sensor mats that could measure the ball's speed. Speed was Yunxiang's strong point, earning a perfect 10 points.
The last endurance test is more straightforward and rough, and is conducted on the Star Network.
There are 8 scenes set up on the Star Network, namely wind, rain, thunder and lightning, ice, water, fire, wood, and earth, and scores are given based on the length of time spent in them.
Don't think you are safe just standing inside. There are traps everywhere. If you cannot escape or resist for a long time, you will be judged as out.
Yunxiang drew a scene of thunder and lightning. As soon as he entered, dark clouds rolled in, and lightning and thunder flashed.
A thick golden light exploded from the sky, striking Yun Xiang, who quickly dodged. The lightning vanished in an instant, and the clouds dispersed, clearing the sky for thousands of miles.
Gone? Yun Xiang was confused.
"Bang!" Yun Xiang somersaulted forward and climbed to the top of the rock very quickly.
She squatted on the rock and carefully observed the terrain below, and finally found a cave, the entrance of which was blocked by short bushes.
She immediately jumped off the rock and ran towards the cave. At this time, lightning was chasing her closely. Although she tried her best to avoid it, she was still hit by it and her whole body was numb.
Finally I arrived at the cave and was about to run in, but suddenly I felt something was wrong and immediately turned around.
"Bang!" "Boom!" The lightning collapsed the cave in an instant. If she had gone in just now, she would have been killed by now.
Fortunately, she was alert and realized that Lightning was deliberately chasing her to the front of the cave, so she immediately changed direction.
Yun Xiang was then called out of the scene and scored 10 points. He scored a total of 28 points in all three categories, 3 points higher than he had expected, and Yun Xiang was very happy.
After the exam, the invigilator gave each of them a space box so that they could easily collect supplies for the field practice exam a week later.
It is called a space box, but it is actually a card. You can directly install it into the card slot of the optical computer. Then restart the optical computer, and the space box will automatically record your personal information, which can then be accessed freely.
The space boxes distributed by the school are all 50 cubic meters, the largest space boxes on the market.
The space boxes on the market vary in size from 10, 20, and 50 cubic meters, and the shelf life is only one month.
The smallest storage device made by the refiner is 100, and the largest is 1,000 cubic meters, with a shelf life ranging from 3 to 8 months.
Therefore, the utilization rate of space boxes is not high, and they are only used in such large-scale activities.
After the practice, the teacher will collect the space boxes and score the students based on the designated materials inside. You can keep the extra materials or sell them directly to the college.
It was already past noon when Yunxiang returned home. He had a good sleep and continued to carve talismans.
After working for two days in a row, she became restless and walked back and forth in the studio, looking out the window from time to time.
"Yunxiang, Yunxiang... Yunxiang, are you home?" I'm here! Yunxiang put down the carving knife and ran out of the yard.
"Aunt Fu!" Yun Xiang tried to calm down his excitement, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You're pretending to be stupid again!" Aunt Fu rolled her eyes without any hesitation.
"I really don't know!" Yun Xiang shook his head and pretended to be stupid.
"If I believe you have a ghost, then from now on, don't open your eyes so wide and don't let your hair fly everywhere, and I will believe you."
"Ha," Yun Xiang pulled down her hair and quickly turned away, "Is tomorrow okay?"
"Well, there's some good stuff this time, remember to come to me early."
"Okay, that's okay, right?"
"What's the problem? Everyone brings in a few outsiders every year. Besides, the plantation is only open for a few days each season. How much can we pick up at most?" Aunt Fu waved her hand nonchalantly. But who knows this year!
Yun Xiang rubbed his brain and added secretly, "I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."
"Okay!" Aunt Fu said, and was about to reach out to rub Yun Xiang's head.
Yun Xiang was prepared and immediately pulled away, "Aunt Fu, I'm grown up!"
"So, it's really boring!" Aunt Fu said with disgust.
"goodbye!"
"Stinky girl!" After seeing Aunt Fu off, Yun Xiang looked at himself in the mirror with a look of regret.
Her hair has been milk tea color since she was a child. Her hair is thin and soft, with naturally curled and fluffy ends. Coupled with a pair of bright cat eyes, people can't help but think of "petting cats".
Perhaps due to human evolution, it is rare to come across a Chinese person with black hair and black eyes.
The plantation opens 2-3 times a year, mostly in February, June and October. The month of February is not fixed and it may only open once every two years.
These months happen to be the time when fruits and vegetables mature in large quantities. After the plantations ship out the fruits and vegetables, they will set aside 3 to 5 days for the growers to pick up the remaining fruits in the fields. This is considered a benefit for the growers, and people here call it the "Harvest Festival."
Some of these fruits and vegetables were discarded because they did not grow well, some were accidentally broken during harvest, and some had roots that were too deep and were missed because they were not dug up. After picking them up and cleaning them up at home, they are completely edible.
Therefore, every year there are a lot of people rushing to the "Harvest Festival". As long as they have a relationship with the local growers, they will come. It is not surprising that Yun wants to go.
They even really wanted Yun Xiang to go. Yun Xiang's grandfather had helped them a lot when he was alive, so they would rather give these things to Yun Xiang than let outsiders get them.
Yun was excited at the thought of going to bed at night. With the space box this year, she could pick up more.
The next morning, after Yunxiang finished washing up, he immediately carried the bamboo basket and went to find Aunt Fu. The God of Fortune was already waiting at the door.
"Why so late?"
"Late?" The plantation opens at 7 o'clock, and it's only 6 o'clock now.
"Hurry, hurry, it's too late!" Aunt Fu grabbed Yunxiang's arm and ran towards the plantation.
"I've already made inquiries. We'll go directly to Park No. 9."
"Okay." Seeing Yun Xiang running with them, everyone started running too. Those who were a little reserved also obviously quickened their pace.
When we arrived at the plantation gate, it was already full of people, noisy and extremely crowded.
Soon at seven o'clock, the gate of the plantation opened and everyone rushed in. Yun Xiang and Aunt Fu easily avoided the crowd and went straight to Garden No. 9. They were the first to arrive.
"It's right to bring you with me!" Aunt Fu didn't stop talking, and her hands moved faster. "Click!", a potato as big as a fist was dug out.
Yun Xiang was faster and had already dug up two. He secretly stuffed one into the space box. It seemed that his speed was about the same as Aunt Fu's.
Native growers like them have long mastered the skills of selecting fruits and vegetables, with quick hands and sharp eyes.
