The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

Chapter 540: Using a technique of first suppressing then praising?

"Uncle Bear, why is there so much fur hidden on this wooden box? It looks familiar. Is it the fur of the egg-guarding creature? No wonder the egg-guarding creature's wings are all bald; it turns out all the fur is filling this box!"

Xiong Bo blushed and said, "Ahem, I had no choice. We need to hurry up and prepare the golden body of the Dragon God. There are no tools in the village to smelt gold, so we can only make do for now."

The village chief kept the chest of gold bestowed by the Dragon God under his bed. It's said that he had to get up several times a night, afraid that the gold would grow legs and run away.

The bellows are essential for raising the furnace temperature; without feathers, they won't work properly. I plan to build a small workshop so that once it's finished, I can start melting gold to sculpt a golden statue of the dragon god.

The Jiechi, who was holding a phone and looking at the hair dryer pig, twitched its ears: "At least they can distinguish between what's important and what's not. As for that egg-guarding thing, it's its honor to contribute to my golden body."

Ya Ya opened her mouth, but hesitated, as if she wanted to say something.

Poor thing, the egg-guarding creature has two bald patches on its wings.

But the golden statue of Granny Duck is also very important, because Granny Duck has helped herself and the people in the village so much.

Never mind, the fur guarding the egg will grow back.

The walls of the power distribution room were being built up to the fifth layer of bricks, and Xiong Bo had just finished using up the small pile of cement he had mixed. He led Ya Ya to the bathroom to wash her hands, then turned to check the incubator.

After confirming that both incubators were running smoothly, Xiong Bo said, "Alright, little fairy Ya Ya, take out the eggs and let's put them in."

"Okay!" With a thought, a stack of egg trays appeared next to the incubator.

Xiong Bo carefully pulled out the egg tray of the incubator. The three of them held their breath and gently placed the eggs one by one into the grooves of the egg tray, slowly filling the three-tiered shelf.

After all the eggs were placed inside, they looked white, round, and very pleasing to the eye, even through the viewing glass.

"Uncle Bear, Sister Chuan Chuan, shall we go find Grandpa Village Chief now?" Ya Ya stared at the egg for a long time before reluctantly standing up.

Xiong Bo glanced at the timer on the panel. "Wait a little longer. I saw in the manual that the eggs will be flipped every two hours. We've been running the machine idle for about two hours already, so it should be turning on soon."

Time is a very important thing. When Xiong Bo went there, there was a clock on Teacher Yu's desk. He and Qiao Chuan asked about the time on that desk several times.

An hour in that region is equivalent to only half an hour for them.

It will spin!

Ya Ya squatted back down.

"It moved! It really moved!" Qiao Chuan, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the egg dish began to tilt slightly after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. The tube holding the egg began to roll little by little, and the egg slowly rolled to one side. It stayed tilted like that for a short while, and then the egg dish slowly returned to its original position.

"How amazing!" Ya Ya's eyes sparkled, her little face almost pressed against the glass. "The egg slowly rolled over and then rolled back!"

After the machine completely stopped turning the eggs, Ya Ya stared at the egg pan for a while, savoring the moment, before looking up and asking, "Is it all done now?"

Xiong Bo nodded: "Yes, from now on, just come and check every day, and replenish the water in the sink when it gets low."

Ya Ya clapped her hands. "Let's go find Grandpa Village Chief!"

"Let's go find the village chief and give him a big surprise!"

The three of them walked together into Granny Liu's courtyard.

As Xiong Bo walked, he pondered for a moment, then a mischievous idea popped into his head. He lowered his voice: "Hey, why don't we appease the village chief first? We can say the back mountain was damaged, breaking the solar panels, and call him over to check it out. When he gets here and sees the back mountain perfectly fine, with even two incubators, it'll be a huge surprise!"

Qiao Chuan looked at Xiong Bo with a bewildered expression.

Is there really nothing wrong with the master's brain?

Ya Ya glanced at Uncle Xiong, who was looking excited, and her little brows furrowed immediately: "No, Grandpa Village Chief cares about the village the most. He'll be so upset and worried when he hears this. The grandpas and grandmas in the yard will also be anxious and scared when they hear it."

Xiong Bo waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. This is called using a rhetorical device to build suspense. First, we make everyone think something bad has happened, then we reveal something good. But it turns out that nothing bad happened and there's even more good news. This creates a bigger contrast and a bigger surprise."

"But when you hear bad news, the panic, sadness, and fear in your heart are real! It's supposed to be a happy occasion, so why make people worry and fear first?"

Qiao Chuan, who had been silently scratching his head and searching his linguistic corpus, heard Ya Ya's words and his eyes lit up. He nodded repeatedly: "Nannan is right, that's exactly right. It's really not good to do this, Master. A good thing is a good thing, and a bad thing is a bad thing. How can you deliberately tell lies to scare people first? This is not a surprise, it's clearly a fright."

If someone informed me like that, even if I later found out there was good news, I wouldn't be happy; I'd still feel uneasy.

Xiong Bo realized something was wrong and immediately shut his mouth.

This method was a favorite trick of one of his wealthy merchant clients, who would first scare his concubines with rare and unusual items.

But after hearing what Ya Ya and Qiao Chuan said, and thinking about it calmly, it really makes sense.

"Oh dear, I misunderstood. I'm sorry, it was my fault. Our little fairy is so sensible. Uncle Bear should learn from you."

"Yes, Uncle Xiong is a good man for admitting his mistakes and correcting them promptly." Ya Ya said with a smile.

The three of them soon arrived at the courtyard gate. Qiao Chuan stopped and said, "Nannan, go tell Grandpa the village chief that Master and I will be waiting for you here."

"Okay!"

Ya Ya glanced into the yard and immediately spotted the village chief helping Grandpa Sun Er whittle bamboo strips.

"Grandpa Village Chief!"

As she called out, Ya Ya took off running over.

"What's wrong?"

Ya Ya whispered in the village chief's ear, "We have a super, super big surprise! Come with me to the bathroom in the back!"

She said this and reached out to grab the village chief's arm, trying to pull him up.

The village chief slowly got up from the wooden stool. "Is there another surprise? Is it just for me? I'd better take a good look at what it is."

Could it be that the solar panel system is finally working perfectly? Although Xiong Bo and Chuan Yatou didn't specifically call everyone together to announce it, everyone who frequents the bathroom room saw it clearly yesterday.

Could it be that the power distribution room has also been built? Or is it possible to melt gold there?

The village chief followed Ya Ya, guessing all sorts of things, while Xiong Bo and Qiao Chuan followed behind. The group headed towards the bathroom.

After turning two corners, the village chief immediately noticed two square machines next to the power distribution room, their panels faintly glowing red and yellow. The transparent front panel clearly showed three rows of round objects.

That, that is...

The village chief froze, his breath catching in his throat.

He rubbed his eyes, then quickened his pace and jogged to the two silver-white machines.

The closer you are, the clearer you can see.

It really is an egg; it's full of eggs.

"You...you guys, this...incubator, it's working? It's already started incubating?"
