Chapter 68 Winter is Coming

Winter is coming to the western forests.

Every year when winter is approaching, cold winter rain will begin to fall in the western forests, and eventually it will turn into snow.

Cat people are a race that is very afraid of the cold, and they also hate cold rain.

A large group of cat people rushed into the newly built model room. The house was so small that Zhang Jingyi thought that not many people could squeeze in. Unexpectedly, more than fifty cat people squeezed in in an instant.

Zhang Jingyi leaned over the window and looked inside. The newly assembled house had no furniture. More than fifty cat people were lying on the floor, curled up like cat pancakes, crowded together, with their heads resting on each other's bodies.

"What a nice big house." A calico cat looked at the glass window. Raindrops hit the window, leaving a slanting stream of water drops. "What is this window? Is it crystal?"

"It's not crystal, it's glass, meow!" The Silver Gradient Clan leader said, "Glass is very expensive, only the nobles can afford it, meow."

Cats: "Ah? His Majesty the King used the nobles' stuff to build us a house, meow?"

A group of cat people who had never been out of the forest and had never seen the world crowded in front of the glass window, tentatively stretched out their little hands, and touched the glass, touched...

The silver-shaded tribe leader said seriously, "You are not allowed to extend your claws when touching the glass, meow. If anyone scratches something so expensive, I will punish him by not allowing him to eat for three days, meow."

These words frightened the kittens so much that their hands suddenly shrank back, and they didn't dare to touch it for a long time.

There are more than 200 cat people. Now about 50 of them have squeezed into the model room, and there are still 150 outside in the rain. These cat people looked at Elizabeth pitifully.

The queen waved to the guards and said, "This rain will not stop once it starts. We cannot wait until the rain stops to start working. Let's assemble the next house in the rain. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the cats to survive this winter."

"As ordered!"

The guards quickly cheered up and started to assemble the second prefabricated house in the rain.

Antonio: [Earthshattering Technique].

"Cat people, come and help!" someone shouted, "Although you can't do technical work, you should be able to move things, right? Quickly move the basic brackets over here... and put them in this place to make the foundation."

The cats quickly took action: "Meow, this stand is so heavy, meow, how did the guard lift it so easily?"

"They have the skill of [Strength Enhancement], while we have the skill of [Agility Enhancement], meow."

"【Agility Enhancement】 is really inconvenient, meow."

"Don't talk nonsense, meow. They don't know how jealous we are when we are jumping up and down, meow."

The cats couldn't lift heavy objects as easily as the guards, so they had to take advantage of their numbers. A large group of cats lifted a bracket, used meowing sounds to coordinate their steps, and moved the bracket to the big pit dug by Antonio, placing it straight and firmly...

The small dense forest was bustling with activity.

In the distance, a werewolf suddenly sneezed loudly: "Yawn!"

He looked up at the sky and pouted: "Too bad, I hate winter."

Another werewolf spoke up: "I hate it too."

The two men touched their new linen clothes. They liked them very much, but linen clothes were not warm enough. Once winter came, they would not be able to withstand the cold in their human form.

They had to transform into wolves and rely on wolf fur to keep warm. "Transform!" The werewolves shook their heads and sighed. The male werewolves carefully took off their linen clothes and then began to transform. In the blink of an eye, they turned into giant wolves.

The female werewolves are in a lot more trouble. They either have to go back to their homes and hide to transform, or use the secret technique of [taking off clothes at the critical moment to ensure that they don't expose themselves]. The level of timing when the female werewolves transform is even higher than Zhang Jingyi's level of keeping to the rhythm when playing "Audition".

Even Sevi took off his armor and turned into a huge red wolf. He strode to Zhang Jingyi and said, "Your Majesty, for the next period of time, our werewolf tribe will all remain in wolf form."

Zhang Jingyi nodded: "Yes! I can understand."

Sevi: "But... when we become this form, we can't do some delicate work."

After saying that, he raised his palm.

The werewolf's palms have the characteristics of both wolf and human. The five fingers have become pointed and long, with sharp claws at the front.

Zhang Jingyi knew from the moment he saw his palm that productivity would be seriously reduced. Not to mention weaving, even using machines such as micro-tillage machines and fertilizer applicators was quite inconvenient with their hands, and they had to operate them carefully, otherwise they would damage the tools.

How about giving them a nail clipper?

Just as he was thinking about this, a giant wolf came running over from a distance, on all fours, in wolf form. It stood up in front of Sevi and said, "Chief, I followed your instructions and searched for iron ore nearby, but the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was raining again. I was too cold to maintain my human form, so I had to come back."

It turned out that Zhang Jingyi had started preparing to develop a metal smelting industry for the wolves a few days ago. For this purpose, he ordered household smelting furnaces, diesel generator sets and other things, and prepared smelting-related teaching video materials, intending to let the wolves assign dozens of people to smelt metals.

From that time on, Sevi sent out scouts to search for mineral veins in the woods around the town.

But once the winter rain comes, the mining and smelting work will probably be affected.

Even if they found the mine, their clawed hands wouldn't be able to do the work.

Zhang Jingyi turned his head and took a look. All the werewolves in the werewolf town had transformed one after another. Only Luna remained in human form.

Because she was wearing the thick cotton sportswear that Zhang Jingyi bought for her.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and waved to Luna: "Let's go back to modern times."

Luna: "Huh? What are you going back for?"

Zhang Jingyi: "Of course I buy clothes for everyone, so that everyone can wear warm clothes like you, so that everyone can maintain their human form."

Luna: "Huh? The clothes I'm wearing are made of cotton, right? They look so expensive. Do you want to give one to each of my tribesmen?"

Zhang Jingyi: "Of course, one for each person."

Luna: "This... this will cost a lot of money."

Zhang Jingyi smiled but said nothing.

The two passed through the portal and returned to the present day.

Shuangqing City had already entered winter, and there was also a cold drizzle in the sky. Zhang Jingyi took out his mobile phone and randomly searched for an online store for "custom clothing wholesale". "Boss, I'm the owner of a small business. I want to customize winter thickened sportswear for my employees, both men and women, a total of 500 sets. Please give me a price."
