"So, brother, you don't know what happened either?"
Under the redwood tree, a few people chatted while chopping down the tree.
"I don't know." Xu Kun was extremely frustrated. "If I knew, would I have come out looking like this?"
That’s true.
Gu Mian nodded in agreement. No matter when they met before, Xu Kun always looked neat and tidy.
Not to mention a beard, he even styles his hair when he has the opportunity.
It's fair to say that they care a lot about their personal image.
"Do you feel anything is wrong with your body?"
Xu Kun: "I felt nothing."
"That's strange." Gu Xiaobei looked like he was deep in thought. "Could it be that, brother, your yang energy was sucked away by a female ghost?"
Gu Mian: "..."
"Gu Xiaobei!" Xu Kun roared, "Can't you be normal for once?!"
"Yes, sir!" Gu Xiaobei chuckled, then immediately slid his hand in front of his mouth to indicate that his mouth had been closed.
Xu Kun: "..."
Half an hour passed in a flash, and Gu Mian hadn't cut down many redwood trees before the activity time was over.
The "Lumberjack Expert" event has ended. Below is a list of the top twenty players by lumber quantity:
First place: Gu Mian, received 240 pieces of high-grade redwood.
Second place: Xu Kun, who received 100 pieces of high-grade redwood.
Third place: Gu Xiaobei, received 85 pieces of high-grade redwood.
Fourth place: Jiang Lai, received 400 Intermediate Poplar Wood.

"Did I hear that right? What's going on with this list? How come the one with the fewest logging operations is listed at the top?"
"You heard me right, upstairs! Because that's what I heard too!"
"Wait, what's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be a competition to see who cut down the most trees?"
"Damn it! I knew this damn system was rigged all along!!! You bastard system, come out here and explain!!!"
"Um... could it be related to the tree's grade? Look, the top three trees they cut down were all high-grade."
"I don't believe it! They clearly said it was a competition of who cut down the most trees, they didn't mention the trees' grade at all!!!"
Zhou Ye: "Although the system didn't mention it, we can't rule out that possibility."
Zhou Zhou: "The right to interpret everything ultimately belongs to the system. It can say whatever it wants, and what can we do but put up with it?"
Qin Huaizhou: "Baby feels wronged, but baby won't say it!"
Moza: "This is boring, let's go, let's go fix the raft."
"By the way, the top three cut down the same type of tree, so why is there such a big difference in the amount of redwood they obtained?"
...
Under the redwood tree, Gu Xiaobei also looked frustrated: "We're cutting down the same kind of tree, so why is the drop rate so different?"
"Sister, you got three times as much redwood as I did?"
"Haha." Gu Mian chuckled dryly, "Maybe I'm just lucky..."
Xu Kun didn't ask anything, but he gave her a meaningful look.
Gu Mian's hair stood on end at the sight, and she almost slammed him with a dunk.
...
When Gu Mian heard that she had won first place in this event, she was a little surprised, but not entirely.
Surprisingly, this ranking seems to be related to the number of trees cut down, as well as the level of the trees, but the system did not explicitly state this.
Unsurprisingly, given the system's usual practices, it would be strange if tasks or events weren't designed with some hidden traps or pitfalls.
However, things turned out unexpectedly well. Although she wasn't very interested in the title of "logging expert," it was better than nothing, at least she could get more timber to repair the raft.
Gu Mian opened the email, put on the "Lumberjack Expert" title, and then ate a croissant to stack the buff.
He took out a new high-grade iron axe and started hacking away at the redwood.
[Received 6 Redwoods and 2 Redwood Saplings] (Doubled)
[Received 8 Redwoods and 2 Redwood Saplings] (Doubled)
[Received 4 Redwoods and 2 Redwood Saplings] (Doubled)
...
With the double buff of "logging expert" and honey croissant, Gu Mian's speed in obtaining redwood increased rapidly.
An hour later, Gu Mian saw that her satiety level had dropped to 40. Just as she opened her backpack to eat something else, her vision suddenly blurred and she was teleported back to the raft.
[The raft is currently damaged. Should we use wood*, nails*, and stones* to repair it?]
Gu Mian: "...No."
He immediately grabbed a clean set of clothes and headed straight for the bathroom.
After washing up, Gu Mian nestled comfortably on the sofa with a cup of milk tea in her hand.
The weather was rather muggy, and it looked like it could rain at any moment.
He casually placed the milk tea he had only taken a couple of sips on the coffee table next to him, and then took out a potato and beef curry rice from his backpack.
Open.
The aroma of meat, curry, and a hint of milk immediately fills the air.
"Coo coo coo!"
My stomach joined in the fun and started growling.
Gu Mian used a spoon to mix all the side dishes evenly, then scooped a full spoonful and spread it evenly on the rice, mixed it evenly with the rice, and then scooped it into her mouth.
"tasty!"
The rice, soaked in rich sauce, tasted exceptionally good, and she fell in love with the flavor instantly after trying curry rice for the first time!
