"600 points, that's really not cheap," Xu Jinhuan muttered as he paid with the points.
Soon, a toy car, no bigger than a hand, appeared in Xu Jinhuan's hand.
The toy car looked like a modern version of a children's toy, with a black and yellow color scheme and a very plasticky feel.
"This thing is so small, is it really useful?" Xu Jinhuan followed the instructions with some skepticism and placed the small item on the map displayed by the system.
Then she witnessed an astonishing scene.
The little toy car started moving on the map, and soon it stopped at a certain boundary and remained stationary.
Then the vehicle body began to change shape, the long hook was raised high and placed on the ground to one side, as if it was testing something.
Soon, the toy car changed from black and yellow to dark blue, and its headlights started flashing.
[Host, this location is excellent, with abundant groundwater resources. The tool has already detected the most suitable spot for digging a well. There are no houses or obstructions here, making it perfect for digging a well.]
"You can put the item I just gave you on top of that testing vehicle, and it will dig a well by itself," System Xiao Wang explained.
Xu Jinhuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, "You only need to put the props up, don't I need to go there myself?"
System Xiao Wang replied proudly.
No need, this is a newly upgraded feature of mine, isn't it incredibly useful?
Xu Jinhuan nodded in agreement. It was incredibly useful, and it was comparable to simulation management games.
As she thought this, she placed the well-drilling tool that System Xiao Wang had given her on top of the toy car.
Then, Xu Jinhuan saw the well-drilling tool push the toy car aside and start digging the well quickly.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the well-drilling tools displayed a completion sign.
"Host, the well has been dug. Should we announce it widely?" System Xiao Wang asked.
Xu Jinhuan said with a smile, "Of course we should. Not only should we tell them, but we should tell them in a big way. Xiao Wang, give it a loudspeaker throughout the whole county."
"Okay, I'll start right away," System Xiao Wang said seriously.
After Xu Jinhuan and Xiao Wang from the system covered the entire Nanheng County with amplified sound, they skillfully used falsetto.
“My name is Jin Huan Shan Shen (the God of Joy and Kindness). Seeing that there is a calamity here, and I fear that countless people will die or be injured, I cannot bear it. Therefore, I have bestowed a well upon this place to relieve the immediate crisis.”
This well is open to everyone; unauthorized use is strictly prohibited. Anyone found using it without permission will be severely punished.
As soon as Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, System Xiao Wang conspired to create a thunderclap above the well.
So, the families who heard the voice of the gods and the sound of thunder went out to investigate.
After walking for a while, they saw a well that had suddenly appeared in the open space.
"This...this is the well bestowed by the gods?"
"Quick, try it!"
"It really is a well, and there's still water in it!"
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night in Nanheng County. People bring whatever they can hold water from their homes and the whole family goes to the well to queue up.
"Hey, you guys are going to fetch water too?"
"Yes, seeing that the surrounding rivers and the well at home have all dried up, and now that the gods have bestowed a divine well, and said there will be a disaster, I said we must store more water."
"That's what I think too. You can manage without water for a day, but if you don't drink water all the time, you'll die of thirst, not to mention the weather is so hot right now."
The crowd chatted as they queued, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Suddenly, someone pushed the people in front of them in line.
"Make way, make way, all of you go back home, we want this well."
A young, fat man, accompanied by several armed guards, rushed to the front and spoke to the people in line, his face full of menacing features.
This really annoyed the people in line.
"This well was a gift from the gods to our entire Nanheng County. Why should you just take it over as you please?"
"That's right, that's right. The gods said that this well cannot be used for private purposes, or there will be punishment."
"Yes, if you don't want to be punished by the gods, you'd better hurry up and let us fetch water."
To everyone's surprise, the young man proudly raised his head and puffed out his belly.
"Do you know who my father is? My father and the county magistrate are sworn brothers. If you keep babbling here, believe me, I'll send you all to jail."
Besides, who said you weren't allowed to fetch water? You can come to fetch water tomorrow. A bucket of water costs one tael of silver, so remember to bring the money.
These words thoroughly enraged the people who were fetching water.
"First your father, Xu the Skinflint, seized the well in the county that had water, and now you want to seize the well bestowed by the gods. Are you trying to force us to our deaths?"
“Let’s fight them. We’re all going to die anyway, so we might as well give it a shot. Maybe we can find a way to survive.”
"Yes, let's give it our all!"
Just then, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, hitting Xu Bapi's son with a loud bang.
They chopped him up so badly that he was charred on the outside and crispy on the inside, and the aroma of roasted meat spread all around.
The previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent, and after a while, they began to chatter again.
"Was he struck by lightning and killed?"
"A god! It's a god unleashing its power!"
"Yes, the gods said that it was forbidden to use it privately. He offended the gods and was punished by them!"
Upon hearing this, the people all knelt respectfully on the ground and prayed sincerely.
Meanwhile, the guards brought by the fat young master were still staring blankly at the young master's charred corpse, wondering how to explain it to their master when they got back.
They had no idea that Xu the Skinflint had already died in the county magistrate's office, and there was no way to explain it to him.
"Phew, this divine punishment is still a bit strenuous," Xu Jinhuan said after using his faith power.
She had just tried to contact the statue here, but unexpectedly, the statue was the well she had just built, and she happened to hear the fat man's boastful words.
So, Xu Jinhuan used the power of faith he had just acquired to give the fat man a small punishment.
However, she did not expect that the punishment would consume so much of her divine power, even more so than when she helped Liu Qingmei cure her illness and change her fate.
"I've gained some experience. In the future, I'll try to punish people myself and not use divine power."
Muttering to himself, Xu Jinhuan used his lightness skill to fly out of Nanheng County and head towards the carriage.
"Boss, you're finally back. This time you've been gone for ages," Xie Datou said with a smile when he saw Xu Jinhuan return.
Xia Zhiying also said with a worried expression, "Master, if you don't come back soon, we'll both go looking for you."
Xu Jinhuan smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry to have worried you all. Something came up and I was delayed. Da Tou, let's continue on our way."
"Yes, boss!"
"drive!"
The magnificent Akhal-Teke horse galloped across the parched land once more, raising a cloud of dust as it passed.
