BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64: Six Islands
The task itself sounds simple but needs to be done with accurate calculations.
Alex had already given them some tools to measure it, but they were commoners who had just learned basic math. Although the length is correct, most of the angles are not; a one-degree difference can result in a significant gap.
What MingYue sees now leaves her speechless.
In the image Alex showed her, the building should be square with some oriental decoration to suit her world, but what she sees now can't even be called square; it's messed up, one of the points is skewed, and the building itself hasn't finished, but MingYue can already see it's tilting.
"I thought I told you to make sure they understand all the instructions first?"
"Lady, they said they already understood it, so I let them take the materials to start building."
MingYue's vein popped, "Why didn't you test them about it then?"
HuaLu's eyes looked cast down, "Lady, it's not that I didn't want to test them. I also don't understand it.
What does a degree even mean? Volume? Insulation? I get the concept, but my mind just cannot register it."
Hearing the word also made MingYue's brain freeze; if smoke could come out from her head, it would already be.
It's the same reason she put the biology book in the corner side of her storage ring.
Since even she, a cultivator, feels like this, she knows she cannot blame HuaLu.
"Forget it. Tell them to stop the construction now."
"Sis? Why did you stop it?" MingHao asked, feeling puzzled.
To him, the building was cool and very awe-inspiring. After all, he had never seen such a building before.
It looked so strong and robust, and its unique form made him curious about the result.
"You brat, the building is completely wrong. If I let them continue building it, it will just be a waste of materials."
"How is it completely wrong, Sis? It looks so strong. Look, even tilted like that, the building still stands tall and high.
Normally, we cannot even build that high; the building would just collapse on itself."
"The tilt itself is what makes it wrong, brat. Forget it. Let's go." Mingyue then moved past the construction site.
They quickly moved to the second island. In this area, the results were more satisfying.
They reused this island to create a farm and ranch for animals.
The people were already used to the concept; the only different thing they did now was build it following a certain layout.
The ranch was also built from wood, not modern materials, so it was easy for them to build.
Currently, they are growing rice and potatoes.
On the ranch, they have cows, sheep, and chickens. It all looks the same as one in the modern world, with some differences in size since all of them breathe in Qi from the atmosphere.
A single chicken basically becomes the size of a turkey, while cows and sheep are the size of elephants.
Passing through the area, they reached the third island.
There, MingHao could see a group of twenty people doing push-ups together. This made him question, "Sis, what are they doing?"
"Can't you see they are practicing?"
"But why would they do that? I could feel some of them were already at the foundation stage initial level.
Shouldn't they just focus on infusing Qi into their meridian and body? It would make them stronger."
MingHao could understand if they did it before becoming cultivators to prepare their bodies to absorb Qi, but he didn't feel it made sense for others to do it.
Some people born with good talents, like his sister, never even had to practice like that; they were already born and grew naturally with fit bodies.
"To feel hardship. Can't you feel they don't use Qi at all?"
MingHao then focused his senses more and realized they really weren't using any Qi. This made him feel even more puzzled.
What use was this? Wasn't it just pointless suffering?
Seeing her brother's confused expression, MingYue chuckled.
As someone who had cultivated in a sect, she understood the benefits of getting used to suffering.
This would temper their will. Many sects also did this but in different ways, usually through illusion arrays.
The only difference Alex made was making them suffer together as a group. "You will understand later, MingHao. Starting tomorrow, you will also join them."
MingHao was still puzzled but nodded, agreeing to follow MingYue's instructions.
The accommodation on the third island was also made from camps.
Currently, there were no elders in the sect, so the outer disciples' training was supervised by wooden mannequins. Anyone who lazed around would be punished with a punch or kick. But so far, no one has been punished.
For them, the chance to cultivate was a stroke of fortune, like someone winning a 777 jackpot in a casino.
All of them had mortal-level spirit roots without any bloodline.
They all dreamed of cultivating once but quickly gave up on it when no sect or family accepted them. Now that they had the opportunity in their hands, they put all their effort in, making sure not to waste it.
MingYue nodded satisfactorily with the progress, and then they walked toward the last island since both the fourth and fifth islands were still empty.
The sixth island is far smaller than the rest of the islands.
The biggest one is the first island, followed by the second one. The higher it goes, the smaller it becomes.
On the island now, there is a luxury RV the size of a bus, something that makes MingHao's eyes widen.
Alex bought it for MingYue.
