Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 186 The Second Full-Star Pet (Third Update)

Zou Jianghe stared at Du Yu as if he were looking at a monster, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Luo Gang looked dazed and subconsciously glanced at Cao Biansheng in the group. Cao Biansheng nodded slightly, confirming that what Qin Ziwen had just said was true.

"President Qin, thankfully we're on the same side." Luo Gang breathed a sigh of relief. "If our opponent were someone like Du Yu, we'd have to sleep with one eye open."

Qin Ziwen picked up the thread: "By the way, I have some news to share with everyone. I have already obtained some information about the next map. The environment of the next map is an island, and it will be a competitive mode."

I suspect this competition isn't between us, but rather between us and other neighborhoods.

"With Du Zhuangshi here, we should be worried about our opponents on the next map." Zou Jianghe laughed, looking at Du Yu with some envy. He wished that Du Yu was his recruit.

Luo Gang analyzed, "If there is a hunting ladder in the next map, this competition mode will probably mostly revolve around the competition for prey."

Qin Ziwen looked at the two of them and said, "There are fewer and fewer animals around the community now. Most of them are migrating to the oasis to the east."

“We have found traces of red-winged pterosaurs on the eastern cliff,” Zou Jianghe added, “but they can fly, making them very difficult to hunt.”

Luo Gang laughed heartily: "President Qin, don't worry about that. We've been keeping an eye on the movements of the two beast packs on the hunting mission. As long as you're ready, you can lead the way and take on these two missions at any time."

He paused, then added, "However, our water reserves are almost depleted. I've assembled a hundred-person oasis expedition team to go to the oasis to fetch water. To make it easier to transport the water, I've also built eight water trucks."

"A water truck? What does it look like?" Zou Jianghe asked curiously.

Luo Gang showed everyone their finished product: a two-wheeled cart made of multiple layers of wooden planks, with the corner gaps filled with clay mixed with some grass stems.

How's the seal?

Luo Gang said, "The seal is very good. Although the wooden boards will still seep water, the seepage is very slow. It can basically ensure that all the water is transported back in two or three days."

“Each vehicle can carry one ton of water, so eight vehicles would carry eight tons. Based on the number of people in our student union, this batch of water will only last for four or five days. The oasis is thirty or forty kilometers away from here, so a round trip in one day is not realistic. It would take at least two days, and that's assuming everything goes smoothly. So the convoy must set off tomorrow, as we have a tight schedule of follow-up tasks.”

After mentally assessing the situation, Qin Ziwen pointed out, "You don't have enough vehicles. Considering your number of people and the size of this expedition, you need at least 15 vehicles to be somewhat more secure."

"This was already produced by working overtime to rush it out," Luo Gang said with a wry smile. "The new vehicles are still being manufactured, and this batch must be used for transportation first."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ziwen suggested, "How about this, I'll lend you three tons of water first, and you can pay me back later. If we leave a couple of days later, you'll have a few more trucks."

Zou Jianghe was secretly surprised; just how much water did Qin Ziwen have?

They were few in number, yet they were able to squander their wealth like this.

Qin Ziwen didn't know exactly how much water he had. He only knew that his fishpond had a volume of 20*30*4, and based on the calculation that one cubic meter is approximately equal to one ton of water, it probably contained more than two thousand tons of water.

Upon hearing this, Luo Gang was pleasantly surprised. After a moment's hesitation, he gave an answer: "In two days, we can make five more cars. Any more, and we won't have enough materials."

Qin Ziwen said, "It's alright, I also make some two-wheeled carts, we can transport water together then."

“I can also lend a hand,” Zou Jianghe chimed in.

After calculation and discussion, the three decided to postpone their departure by two days, and the convoy will consist of forty flatbed trucks with a single transport capacity of forty tons.

For the entire community, although the water supply is still tight, a basic supply cycle has been established.

Of course, this means that water usage in places such as personal cleaning, handicraft workshops, blacksmith shops, and carpentry workshops will be significantly reduced, and work efficiency will inevitably be affected.

But at least there is hope for a stable water supply, and we are no longer just sitting around waiting for our resources to run out, which is a good trend.

Back at his lodgings, Qin Ziwen summoned a Mongolian horse.

Take out two animal enhancement cards.

Upon seeing it, the harpy eagle instinctively flew over, its head constantly nudging the ground.

Qin Ziwen said helplessly, "You don't need to use it; you can't use it for now."

Upon hearing this, the harpy eagle paused, its expression turning to surprise.

"Whoa~" The Mongolian horse squeezed in, a lewd grin spreading across its face. Qin Ziwen first cast a Insight spell on it.

A standard Samsung.

Those two enhancement cards are just enough to fill it up.

Qin Ziwen used two cards on it in quick succession, and the Mongolian horse was instantly enveloped in light.

When the light faded, the Mongolian horse's physique had changed dramatically, with bulging muscles, strong limbs, a shoulder height of nearly 1.9 meters, and a body length of 2.3 meters.

She is in no way inferior to Sharma.

[Common Mongolian Horse: ☆☆☆☆☆]

Compared to before, the Mongolian horse is now much larger, but when it smiles, that familiar sleazy feeling returns.

"You'd better stop laughing." Qin Ziwen pressed down on its lips.

"Tieshan." Qin Ziwen waved to Li Tieshan.

Ever since Li Tieshan visited that site, he has often been lost in thought.

"My lord." He walked over and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"We are planning to build a batch of two-wheeled flatbed trucks that can carry water. We have two requirements: they must be waterproof and have a large capacity."

“Yes, sir,” Li Tieshan replied.

After Li Tieshan returned, Jia Liangcai came to report on the recent progress.

Qian Muzhen's clinic has opened in the community. Since it has just opened, there are not many customers at the moment. Most of them are members of the Qin Alliance who come to see her. However, Dr. Qian's medical skills are solid and excellent, and she has already gained a small reputation in the community.

The leather armor workshop has added 12 sets of sandworm armor to its inner arsenal, and the remaining 18 sets are being produced urgently.

The blacksmith shop has acquired two new pure iron spears and two cart-mounted crossbows, and two more cart-mounted crossbows are under construction and expected to be completed tomorrow.

The farmland has already yielded one harvest, and vegetable planting has been expanded significantly. Pumpkins have already borne fruit, and the planting of sweet potatoes has doubled. The second batch of ripe sweet potatoes has already been stored in the cellar.

The purple fruits from the mysterious fruit tree have already developed, and according to Wei Zhaohua's deduction, they are expected to ripen in another week.

Tests revealed that even when the shell of the water dew fruit is ground into powder, it retains its detoxifying properties and appears to have an extended shelf life. Additionally, the juice inside the water dew fruit has thirst-quenching and saliva-inducing effects.

After listening, he gave Jia Liangcai some more encouragement.

Then he took Du Yu to a tavern.

I sat here for a while, thinking it would be the same as before with few customers, but as soon as I sat down, customers came in.

This is a family of four carrying large and small bags of luggage. From their conversation, it seems they are going south to stay with relatives.

Only after talking to them did I learn that things had fallen into chaos in Dayong.

Uprisings broke out in various places, and at the same time, the six princes of Dayong raised troops to support the emperor, claiming to be "cleansing the court of corrupt officials".

As for more details, they knew nothing about it.

Qin Ziwen asked them if they wanted to stay, but the scholar refused. He said that although the place was remote and quiet, and seemed safe, he still hoped that his son could pass the imperial examinations in the future. If they stayed here, he would never be able to pass the imperial examinations in his entire life.

Qin Ziwen expressed his understanding of this.

Because of the impending chaos of the Great Yong Dynasty, prices have skyrocketed, and Qin Ziwen is considering whether to raise the prices of the drinks in the taverns as well.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
