Scientific Travel

Deng Yin didn't let those two people help her for nothing; she provided them with food and lodging.

Although Gao Ruizhe cooked all the food, Deng Yin provided all the ingredients.

There's only one kite; the air conditioner is in the basement storage room, but Deng Yin still has a refrigerator.

Gao Ruizhe and Feifei lived in one room, while Gou Dan lived alone in another. Every day, Deng Yin would put a basin of ice in both rooms and ask her for more ice when it melted.

With her salary and benefits, there are plenty of people outside who would want to do this job, but it seems quite ordinary to Feifei and Gao Ruizhe.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems for either of them.

Feifei was willing to stay here with Gao Ruizhe not only because of what Deng Yin said. He was a very practical person, and no matter how eloquently Deng Yin spoke, it would not affect his original life trajectory.

The main reason is that there's no work available now.

Feifei has already reported that the mission target is dead, but so far there has been no reply.

Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well stay here.

Gao Ruizhe definitely won't leave, so Feifei has to keep an eye on him to prevent him from saying anything he shouldn't.

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The three of them work together seamlessly, and even without Deng Yin, all the work can be completed in an orderly manner.

Deng Yin now has two jobs a day: one is to distribute ice to them, and the other is to act as a courier, bringing cakes to the store.

Feifei, Gou Dan, and Gao Ruizhe are all the kind of people who stand out in a crowd, and over time, they have been rumored to be immortals.

Some people didn't even come for Deng Yin's name or the taste of the cake, but for the faces of these three people.

Feifei and Gao Ruizhe's jobs did not allow them to show their faces in public. After Feifei told Deng Yin about this, Deng Yin gave each of them a mask.

The mask is the same one Deng Yin wore when she bought the cake.

Seeing that the two of them were wearing them, Gou Dan asked Deng Yin for one too.

Some sharp-eyed people recognized that the mask was the same as the one worn by the immortal Deng Yin. By a twist of fate, the identities of these three people as divine messengers were essentially confirmed.

Judging that they had probably eaten most of the food in the basement, Deng Yin refused the three people's offer to come along and rode his bike back alone.

This time, Deng Yin not only plans to deliver food, but also intends to dig drainage ditches.

We don't know when the natural disaster will strike, but the four-story building should hold out until Deng Yin returns. However, the two places are far apart, and we're unsure if it will start raining at the same time or how heavy the rain will be. It's best to make plans as soon as possible.

Human growth is inseparable from sunlight. When Deng Yin arrived home, Li Pingle was playing with Wang Xi in the yard.

Li Pingle set up a swing for Wang Xi, but when she saw Deng Yin return, Wang Xi stopped playing on the swing and fell down due to inertia when she got off.

The little girl was very strong. She dusted herself off and ran towards Deng Yin with a smile.

"Sister, you are back."

The family of three didn't seem to be eating very well during Deng Yin's absence. Deng Yin left the food according to the amount she left when she was there, but she didn't expect that after so long, there would still be half left.

Deng Yin was somewhat displeased, and during the meal, he casually asked, "During the time I was away, did you eat this every day?"

Those two adults were both shrewd. Ever since Deng Yin went to the warehouse, she had been wearing a long face, so it was hard not to know that she was unhappy.

Before the two could speak, Wang Xi answered first. "No, Father cooks different dishes every day."

"Then let me test you," Deng Yin asked. "How many dishes do you eat every day?"

Xi Xi, looking like she could handle this, confidently said, "Sometimes there are three dishes, sometimes four, and sometimes only one. It all depends on when Daddy gets up. Once, Daddy slept until the sun was high in the sky and he still hadn't gotten up. I was the one who made that dish."

Distracted by Wang Xi, Deng Yin couldn't even muster the anger she wanted to. She smiled and praised Wang Xi, "Our Xi Xi is so amazing, she can cook at such a young age."

Wang Xi was so flattered by the praise that she stopped eating and wanted to show off her skills to Deng Yin.

"Let's eat first. I'm not leaving tomorrow either," Deng Yin said. "I'll try your cooking again tomorrow."

Suppressing Wang Xi's restless impulse, Deng Yin joked with Li Pingle, "Uncle Li has been a bit lazy lately. Why did you only cook two dishes when I wasn't around?"

Li Pingle knew what she meant and jokingly replied, "Maybe it's because I'm getting old. I can never get enough sleep, so I naturally become lazy."

“That’s not true,” Deng Yin retorted. “The older people get, the less they need to sleep. Uncle Li, the fact that you can sleep so much just means you’re still very young.”

“I’m getting old.” Li Pingle turned his attention to Wang Moyu: “Your Aunt Wang keeps saying I’m old and fat. I need to lose weight quickly, or what if she changes her mind?”

Wang Moyu retorted to Li Pingle, her tone displeased, "What nonsense are you talking to the child about? And am I wrong? You're just getting old. Look at your hair, it's all gray."

"Look at this, look at this!" Li Pingle pointed at Wang Moyu and complained to Deng Yin, "She already dislikes me this much. If I were any fatter, wouldn't she kick me out?"

Deng Yin's unhappiness dissipated completely after the two joked around.

She'll make one last quick buck, and once this busy period is over, she'll never sell goods again.

There's no business that's faster than robbery.

Everything is going up in price right now, except for the system's exchange rate. We can always wait until the value of gold coins plummets.

Who knows, maybe one day a watermelon could sell for dozens of gold coins. When that day comes, Deng Yin will go back to his old ways.

The method for digging the drainage ditch this time was the same as the method the system had previously told Deng Yin. He wondered if the system would still award points for completing the task now that it had changed so much. Deng Yin decided to give it a try.

Deng Yin dug a total of eight drainage ditches, three of which were in the river.

The river is very long and has a large water storage capacity, so Deng Yin deepened it by two times.

This was done to create a slope so that rainwater falling near the house would flow down the slope into the river.

The remaining five drainage ditches are evenly distributed around the building and basement. To prevent underground collapse, Deng Yin did not dig a large hole here and there, but rather dug them like ant holes, which are crisscrossed inside, but none of them are very large. Even if the ground becomes soft due to rain in the future, they will not easily collapse.

After doing all this, Deng Yin stared at the dried-up river for a long time without making any further moves.

There was no sound...

Meanwhile, in the shop, Gou Dan paused in his packing, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing that Gou Dan hadn't moved for a while, Gao Ruizhe nudged him with his elbow: "What are you spacing out for?"

"It's nothing..." Gou Dan came to his senses and continued what he was doing.
