Druid Fairy

Chapter 67 Punishment
I was bombarded with another dose of PDA from my parents.

Li Pingcan munched on a cornbread bun, his mouth feeling sour, but his mood inexplicably calmed down.

The fear and unease hidden in the darkness dissipated as if the ice and snow were melting away.

There are many unpleasant things in the world, but the love and understanding that family members have for each other can give people courage and fearlessness to withstand those turbulent undercurrents.

"I need to work hard too!"

You need to seek out immortal opportunities and hone your skills.

While helping plant peach saplings, Li Pingcan also acted as a supervisor, constantly improving his skill proficiency.

The main techniques are [Rubber Cudgel Technique] and [Water Manipulation]. [Primal Strike] is too obvious and not suitable for showing off in front of others.

He discovered that after acquiring the Water Spirit, the [Water Manipulation] skill could even control water vapor in nature, gathering it into rain and dew.

If you can control water flow, can you also control blood and drain your opponent's blood for a fatal blow?
After trying it, Li Pingcan found that it wouldn't work. Blood is 85% water, but it may contain "impurities," making it impossible to manipulate.

【Manipulating water】is essentially about controlling flowing water.

When you get tired of grinding for skill proficiency, take a break and explore skill combinations.

He looked at the panel.

[LV9 Magic Stone Spell [Additional] [Transformation]]

【LV9 Restoration Technique [New][Transformed]】

【LV9 Plastic Clay [Reconstruction][Elements]】

Over five years, I maxed out my proficiency in generating traits. The [Additional] attribute of the Magic Stone Technique can be applied to stones simultaneously, with the poison being far more painful than the sting of the Purple-Gold Blood Centipede.

The properties of restoration techniques allow for the repair of cracks in objects, restoring them to a state of "brand new".

The maximum level of [Clay Plastic] grants the [Reconstruction] ability, which is the most surprising and delightful feature.

When casting the Earth Shaping spell, combining it with a Water Manipulation spell will change the properties of the land, and the two spells will combine to form the Swamp spell.

He also tried other skills, such as [Spore Growth] and [Repair], which were quite imaginative, but none of them produced any special results. Clearly, [Reconstruction] also has hidden conditions.

However, the combination of [Soil Plasticizing], [Water Manipulation], and [Insect Swarm Breeding] created a swamp teeming with white maggots...

"If we combine fire elemental skills with the rocks in the clay, is there any chance of creating a spell like 'Rock Burst'?"

It remains to be seen, but it is worth looking forward to and trying.

…………

The thirty acres of peach orchard are all covered in black humus soil, which is quite fertile, so it's no wonder that "flat peaches" can be grown there.

In preparation for the future, the Li family also plans to plant two acres of peaches, so that they can present them as gifts and presents.

On Peach Mountain.

"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready! We're having lots of meat today!"

The aroma of rice and meat wafted from afar. The Li family not only paid wages promptly, settling accounts daily without delay, but also provided decent meals every day.

A small piece of braised pork with offal, stir-fried mushrooms, plenty of pickled vegetables, steamed buns made with white flour, and egg and mushroom soup to soothe the throat.

Twelve years have passed, and the Li family, who initially fled in disarray, has transformed through hard work into a reliable and exemplary force in the village, earning the respect and admiration of everyone.

The helpers flocked over, their mouths watering, lining up to get rice, meat, and soup.

They dared not fight for it, for if they did, they would get nothing to eat.

Li Pingcan pointed at the helper, who was dressed in a linen outfit and had no dirt or sweat on him, and said, "You are not allowed to eat, and you will not be paid today."

"Why?" The worker was taken aback.

"You lied and said you had an upset stomach, but you were actually slacking off on that crooked peach tree to the east."

The Li family treats their helpers kindly and allows them to take leave when necessary, but they cannot tolerate such slackers and cheaters.

The helper was puzzled. He had clearly been very careful in hiding, but the youngest son of the Li family had explained the time, place, and reason so clearly that he must have seen it, leaving no room for denial. He stood up with a fierce expression, his tall figure looming over Li Pingcan. "So what if I did? I was hired by your father. If you want to punish me, believe me, I'll beat you!"

Kids are easily frightened and will be able to sleep soundly without worry.

Who are you trying to scare?

Li Pingcan said calmly, "You can try it."

The helper was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

If he really made a move, he would definitely suffer the consequences. So, blushing, he tried to smooth things over by saying, "Your father and I are good brothers. I even held you when you were little. So, you should call me 'uncle'."

Li Pingcan ignored him, treating him like he was invisible.

The helper's face turned pale and greenish. He finally admitted his mistake in a sheepish manner and worked for half a day for nothing to make up for the previous hours. Only then was the matter dropped.

Of course, such people have been excluded from Li Rongzhou's long-term employment list.

This incident made the helpers realize the remarkable abilities of the youngest son of the Li family, who usually kept a low profile and only loved planting trees.

This person is completely unyielding!
Moreover, they have incredibly sharp eyes; they can not only remember everyone's name, but also know exactly who is slacking off and when.

However, no one wanted to leave the Li family. Just the fact that they paid their bills on time every day was already better than that of countless landlords and wealthy families.

Under Li Pingcan's watchful eye, everyone behaved themselves, and Taoshan expanded in an orderly and steady manner.

…………

"Thank you, Yuanyuan."

Li Pingcan took the handkerchief Xie Yuan handed him and wiped his sweat. Looking down at the peach saplings swaying in the wind on the hillside, he felt a sense of pride, as if he were saying, "This is the empire I conquered."

Old trees that are cut down will gradually die; new peach saplings should be planted around the stumps.

These past few days, with the help of others, the experience points gained from planting trees haven't been particularly high.

Of course, he couldn't possibly delay the family's development just because he needed tree-planting experience points.

The text on the panel seemed to leap before my eyes.

[Your father, Li Rongzhou, successfully planted a peach tree; Druid experience +1]

[Your successful peach tree planting grants you +1 Druid experience point.]

[Your accumulated experience points have reached 5000, your Druid level has increased to LV5, and you will gain new skills related to specific branches.]

……

It's finally been upgraded.

Li Pingcan felt extremely satisfied. The most satisfying moment after accumulating experience points over the years was receiving the reward.

He explored the new skills with great interest.

【LV0 Transformation Technique [Transformation]】

You can transform into one of three animals: a bird, a fish, or a deer, for a duration of fifteen minutes. Each time you recast the spell, you will immediately replace your original animal form. While casting the transformation spell, you can still use other Druid abilities.

【LV0 Fire Control [Element]】

[You select a visible flame that occupies 1 cubic foot. You can make it spread to three feet, or extinguish it. You can change the brightness and color of the flame. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three flames active simultaneously.]

[LV0 increases resistance]

[You touch a willing creature or yourself, increasing its resistance to supernatural powers. This ability lasts for 15 minutes.]

……

It's great, I love watching it!
