Chapter 209 Why do you eat it? I want to eat it too (Subscribe)

Xu Ye leaned back in a wooden chair, closed his eyes and rested, but his mind couldn't help but recall the machining process just now.

The size of each part and the polishing of every detail make him feel extremely fulfilled.

Although he had only completed some parts of the steam engine, this had already given him confidence in his future career as a mechanical engineer.

"It's enough rest, let's continue." Xu Ye opened his eyes, stood up, and walked back to the workbench.

Xu Ye walked to the milling machine, adjusted the position of the tool, and then fixed the metal material.

"Let's start." Xu Ye took a deep breath and started the milling machine.

The roar of the machine sounded again in the workshop. Xu Ye was operating the milling machine with full concentration, and the tool in his hand steadily controlled every detail.

Metal fragments flew everywhere, and a faint metallic smell filled the air.

As time passed, beads of sweat began to appear on Xu Ye's forehead again.

But he did not stop, but continued to work attentively.

He knows that only through constant practice can he improve his skills.

"Ding!" The system prompt sounded again.

"It is detected that the host is performing mechanical processing. Mechanical processing proficiency +1."

Xu Ye smiled slightly, feeling relieved.

Although it was only a small improvement, it meant he was one step closer to completing his task.

He picked up the part, checked it carefully, and after confirming that the size and accuracy met the design requirements, he nodded with satisfaction.

However, at this moment, the system prompt sounded again.

"It has been detected that the host has been working continuously for more than six hours. It is recommended to rest."

Xu Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't expect time to pass so quickly. He had been working for six hours straight.

He decided to leave the mechanical workshop temporarily and return to the real world to rest.

After all, time in the real world was also passing, and he couldn't let Jiang Ruyue notice anything unusual.

"Leave." Xu Ye muttered to himself.

In an instant, his consciousness returned to the real world.

The makeshift shelter was still quiet, and Jiang Ruyue was sleeping soundly beside him.

Xu Ye took out his pocket watch and took a look, and found that the time was almost two o'clock in the morning.

"Let's continue tomorrow." Xu Ye thought to himself and gradually fell asleep.

In his dream, he seemed to see the steam engine he made roaring in the wilderness, driving various mechanical equipment and turning this desolate land into a vibrant industrial base.

And all this will start with our efforts tonight.

The next morning, Xu Ye woke up early.

He opened his eyes and found that Jiang Ruyue was no longer in the makeshift shelter.

There was a slight noise coming from outside, it seemed that Jiang Ruyue was preparing breakfast.

Although I worked for a long time in the mechanical workshop last night, my body in the real world did not feel too tired.

"It seems that the work in the mechanical workshop will not put too much burden on the body in the real world." Xu Ye thought to himself, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

He walked out of the shelter and saw Jiang Ruyue busying herself by the fire.

The morning sun shone on her body, outlining a soft golden edge.

"Good morning, sister." Xu Ye greeted with a smile.

Jiang Ruyue raised her head and saw Xu Ye, with a smile on her face: "Good morning, how did you sleep last night?"

"Not bad." Xu Ye answered casually, walked forward and took Jiang Ruyue's hand.

I was busy with work last night and ignored her.

"Then let's have breakfast first. I guess they will be here today." As she said that, Jiang Ruyue prepared to get food for Xu Ye.

After breakfast, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue went to check on the condition of the takins.

There were no wild animals attacking last night, otherwise the leopard would have given an alert long ago.

The antelopes were still alive. After all, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue not only removed the bullets from their bodies, but also applied Dicranopteris ironii to stop the bleeding.

After the inspection, Xu Ye asked Huabao to be on guard.

When someone comes, it can remind itself and Jiang Ruyue in time.

It was daytime now, so Xu Ye naturally couldn't enter the mechanical workshop, so he stayed outside with Jiang Ruyue to practice shooting.

Everything is good in the mountains, except that you can't take a bath.

After working up a sweat, all you can do is simply wipe it off.

Xu Ye was wondering how he could get his physical body into the mechanical workshop.

If possible, the mechanical workshop would be an invincible storage space.

People can also go in to take a shower, rest, and store their belongings.

Unfortunately, the system cannot communicate now.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, people from the village arrived.

Seeing those takins that were shot, they all showed envy and admiration.

"Captain Fan, why are you here too?" Xu Ye asked when he saw Fan Dajun.

After all, Fan Dajun would never participate in such things before because it was too tiring.

Fan Dajun waved his hands breathlessly, obviously too tired to speak.

"The captain wanted to come and check the situation. There are more than a dozen antelopes, but only two of you. It's incredible."

"That's right, those antelopes can't run away, right?"

"I've never heard of two people being able to hunt so many preys. You guys are really amazing."

"Even if they are all sharpshooters, those antelopes shouldn't have no chance to escape, right?"

Everyone was talking at once, but apparently no one could explain how Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue could kill so many antelopes.

It would be fine if it was the entire hunting team, but they only had two people and two guns.

But even though they were jealous, they had no other ideas.

"Sister Ruyue and I are just lucky. They are very protective of their children, so they gave us a chance." As he said that, Xu Ye took out cigarettes and started sharing them.

"Let's take a break first, and then we'll go down the mountain." With that, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue began to pack their things.

By the time they had finished cleaning up, the villagers had almost rested.

Then, Xu Ye led them to put ropes on the antelope.

We have to pass the rope through their noses to pull them down the mountain.

Otherwise, the takin is so heavy that it would be difficult to carry it down the mountain.

Because they need to drag the takin, the speed of going down the mountain is slower.

However, Xu Ye and the others didn't care. After all, these takin were all alive and were going to be raised in the village farm.

Naturally, there is no need to rush.

It was too dark, so everyone stopped to rest and prepare to make a fire to cook. In fact, they were willing to help.

Because coming to the mountains also counts as work points, and it is full work points.

Working in the village doesn’t get full work points and it’s very tiring.

The reason why Fan Dajun and others did this was to stimulate everyone and increase their enthusiasm.

"Captain Fan, didn't Sanbao and the others ask you to send people into the mountains?" Xu Ye asked curiously while smoking.

After all, the total amount of prey this time exceeded 20,000 kilograms, and Zhang Sanbao must have 4,000 to 5,000 kilograms as well.

Theoretically, this number should be called a human number.

"No, but everyone in the hunting team has asked for leave. I guess they did it themselves?" Fan Dajun did not hide it from Xu Ye.

That's pretty bad!
Xu Ye complained in his heart and did not continue discussing with Fan Dajun.

However, Fan Dajun took the initiative to ask: "Didn't Sanbao contact you?"

Fan Dajun knew that Xu Ye’s three goshawks were extremely smart, with brains as shrewd as humans and could understand human language.

There should be no problem at all in contacting each other.

"We contacted each other when it was raining, and they said everything was fine. If there is no situation, we usually don't contact each other, after all, there are not enough goshawks," Xu Ye explained.

Fan Dajun didn't say anything, just nodded, and then smoked silently.

It is really not easy to go into the mountains, and they didn’t carry anything with them, unlike Xu Ye and his friends who had to carry all kinds of things when they went into the mountains.

Therefore, it is unrealistic for people with poor health, lack of strength, and insufficient physical fitness to go into the mountains to hunt.

Just walking is tiring enough, how can I have the energy and spirit to hunt?

As night fell, a bonfire flickered in the woods, and sparks drifted into the dark sky.

Everyone sat around the fire, roasting dry food. They were exhausted after a day's trek and soon fell asleep wrapped in blankets.

Xu Ye lay on the ground, but he was not sleepy at all. Looking at the dancing flames, his thoughts drifted back to the unfinished steam engine parts in the mechanical workshop.

He knows very well that this seemingly simple mechanical manufacturing may be a key step in changing the future.

As soon as the day began to dawn, the team set off again.

The road down the mountain was rugged and difficult to walk on. Everyone pulled the antelope and moved carefully step by step.

Jiang Ruyue walked beside Xu Ye, helping him adjust the rope from time to time. The two of them had a perfect understanding.

After a few days of getting along, the feelings between them became deeper and deeper. They could understand each other's intentions with just a look or a gesture.

Finally, in the evening, they returned to the village.

The village suddenly became lively, and men, women, young and old all gathered around to see the captured takin.

The children excitedly shuttled among the cattle, while the adults talked about them with envy on their faces.

Amid the admiration of the crowd, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue handed the takin to the farm staff.

After dealing with the matter of the antelope, Xu Ye returned home, and after a simple wash, he couldn't wait to enter the mechanical workshop.

He stood in front of the workbench, looking at the familiar tools and parts, and a strong sense of mission surged in his heart.

He picked up the tools and continued to work on the steam engine parts.

As the milling machine roared and metal chips kept flying, Xu Ye was fully focused, as if the whole world only consisted of him and the parts in his hands.

After an unknown amount of time, the system's prompt sounded again: "It is detected that the host's mechanical processing proficiency has reached the upgrade conditions, and the mechanical processing skills are upgraded."

Xu Ye was delighted and stopped his work to check the description of the upgraded skills.

The upgraded skills have given him a deeper understanding of machining and made his operations more handy.

He decided to strike while the iron was hot and continue processing the remaining parts.

However, just as he was about to start working again, the system suddenly issued a rapid alarm: "Unknown energy fluctuations have been detected. The mechanical workshop may be threatened. Please find out the cause as soon as possible."

Xu Ye was shocked. He had never encountered such a situation before.

He put down his tools and looked around the workshop, trying to find the source of the energy fluctuations.

But everything was normal in the workshop, with no signs of anything unusual.

Just when Xu Ye was confused, the system prompted again: "The energy fluctuation comes from the real world and is closely related to the host. Please return to the real world to check."

Xu Ye did not dare to delay and immediately said "return" silently in his heart.

When he opened his eyes, Xu Ye found that it was Gu Yun lying on him, eating.

"I thought you wouldn't wake up?" Gu Yun's face suddenly flushed when she saw Xu Ye wake up.

"Where is Ruyue?" Xu Ye asked curiously when he found that Jiang Ruyue was not by his side.

"I went back to my parents' home." Gu Yun explained, then stuffed the food back into her mouth, seeming unwilling to chat with Xu Ye anymore.

Glancing at the time, Xu Ye discovered that it was already past one in the morning.

Gu Yun is really energetic. She hasn't gone to bed yet at this time.

However, now that she is here, Xu Ye definitely won't be able to continue working in the workshop.

Today's incident also made Xu Ye understand that if there is interference from the outside world, the system will remind him.

"Why are you the only one eating it? I want to eat it too." Xu Ye couldn't help but say.

Gu Yun turned around sensibly and put the thing to Xu Ye's mouth.

"Do you have any plans for tomorrow?" Gu Yun asked while eating.

"You and I will go to the county tomorrow to see if we can get some project money back. At the same time, we need to buy some things." Xu Ye told him about his plans.

In fact, we have to go to the county town to divide the money tomorrow.

Because Zhang Sanbao and the others have already contacted Xu Ye, and they will divide the money in the county town tomorrow.

If we go back to the village to distribute the money, we’re worried that the news will leak out.

The next morning, Xu Ye and Gu Yun got up early, packed up simply, and set off for the county town.

Along the way, Gu Yun chattered non-stop, sharing the recent interesting things in the village, but Xu Ye was a little absent-minded. His mind was still lingering with the strange energy fluctuation alarm in the mechanical workshop last night.

When they arrived in the county town, they first went to the company that contracted the project.

They were received by a somewhat rigid middle-aged man. After checking the various project progress documents, he refused to pay the project fee with various excuses. He either said that the process had not been completed or that there was temporary difficulty in cash flow.

Xu Ye patiently argued that the project had been completed strictly in accordance with the contract requirements and that delaying payment now constituted a breach of contract.

After an intense negotiation, the other party reluctantly agreed to pay part of the money first. Although Xu Ye was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to accept it.

After leaving the company, Xu Ye and Gu Yun went to the market and purchased the necessary items according to the list.

Gu Yun helped to choose and gave suggestions from time to time. Time passed quietly while the two were busy.

It was almost noon. Xu Ye looked at the time and realized that the time to divide the money as agreed with Zhang Sanbao was approaching.

He brought Gu Yun to the agreed place, which was an inconspicuous little teahouse filled with the faint aroma of tea.

Zhang Sanbao and several members of the hunting team were already waiting for them. After a few pleasantries, they got down to business.

In the private room of the teahouse, Zhang Sanbao carefully calculated the share of the hunting proceeds and handed them to Xu Ye and others.

While dividing the money, everyone discussed the gains from the hunt and subsequent plans in a lively atmosphere.

However, Xu Ye always felt that Zhang Sanbao seemed to be worried. There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes, but he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
