Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 38 Such a huge fairy peach!

Dusk had fallen.

When Wu Yunteng arrived on the island and wanted to pick up Diao Baibai and Diao Quanquan, he doubted his eyes and rubbed them repeatedly.

What the hell is that?

Then a giant tree rose up from the ground!

The branches were twisted and thick, like mutated muscles, and even burst the bark!
The leaves are thick and dense, like the fur of a monster, in clumps and clusters!

Several extremely eye-catching peaches also grew on the branches, each as big as a human head, white and bright!

"This... a fairy peach?"

Wu Yun holds the official title of "Governor" and knows how to identify immortal peaches.

Flying up to take a look, I was shocked to discover that these were not the peaches of immortality given to a ninth-rank celestial official.

This is for eighth-rank celestial officials!
Strictly speaking, Wu Yun isn't even qualified to eat peaches of this grade... It's beyond his means!
Wu Yun, looking utterly astonished, found Diao Quan Quan and Diao Bai Bai, who were also looking equally astonished, under the peach tree.

"This... um... you grew this?"

"Well done."

"How were they planted?"

The two minks looked at each other, then at the shopkeeper.

They all looked embarrassed.

"Hey..."

"Ow..."

The matter of being "brought down" is something that definitely cannot be discussed.

They couldn't explain exactly how it was grown.

Let the boss think it was just a coincidence.

……

Blah blah blah...

The heavy rain outside the window continued to fall.

Wu Yun, dressed in casual clothes, stood guard over the giant peach on the dining table, looking it over from the left and right.

"That magical artifact that transforms polluted spiritual energy into highly toxic herbicide... its function is to transform spiritual energy into another form, a form that plants can absorb more easily?"

During this time, the magical artifacts they dug up on various floating islands were all sorts of things, a complete mess.

To my utter surprise, there really is such a strange instrument that can grow fairy peaches!

"It took thirty liters of spiritual energy to grow only four grade eight immortal peaches."

"This efficiency is quite low."

Normally, with this much spiritual energy, more than sixty grade eight immortal peaches should be able to be grown.

If this were in the former Immortal Realm, this level of production efficiency would have been considered a disgrace.

But Wu Yun doesn't care about efficiency!

He only wants the peaches!
Anyway, spiritual energy is all free, it doesn't cost any money!

At this moment, his face was full of anticipation as he looked at the giant peach.

How should we eat it?

"Like the Celestial Officials' Feast..."

"Make it into a soup?"

"Boil it into wine?"

After racking his brains for memories, he confirmed that the way the Celestial Officials' Feast was eaten... was the way poor people ate.

With hundreds of celestial officials on the island and only one fist-sized ninth-grade immortal peach, there was simply no way to divide it; it could only be boiled into soup. In reality, the best way to preserve its spiritual energy is to eat it directly, as long as it's digestible!

"No, there's still a problem..."

How much can I eat in one meal?
Will eating too much cause indigestion?

Wu Yun frowned.

"It's so big, we can't finish it."

What about the rest?
"Put it in the refrigerator?"

You don't know until you try it. When the immortal peach was actually right in front of him, Wu Yun suddenly realized that this thing was also a very troublesome thing!
After carefully searching his memory and recalling the details, Wu Yun finally understood how to eat it.

I cut a piece into a plate first, then covered the rest with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator.

Finally, I turned on the TV and ate while watching the show.

The morning news is playing on TV.

"...The water resources department of Taidong Province issued the latest report, stating that since late June, the province has experienced continuous heavy rainfall, with an average rainfall of 64.2 mm. Among them, the average rainfall in Mengshui, Donghu and Qichuan exceeded 140 mm."

"Despite the continuous onslaught of torrential rains, water conservancy projects across the province operated smoothly, water levels in major rivers remained stable, and the water conservancy system withstood a severe test..."

The television program was showing several major rivers in Thai East Province.

Then you see the river surging and waves crashing as it rushes toward the sea in the pouring rain!

On both sides of the river, you can see water conservancy department staff carrying flashlights, wearing raincoats and life vests.

As Wu Yun ate the juicy peach, it suddenly dawned on him...

"It's been raining heavily for almost half a month."

The rain outside the window never stopped, and the sound of rain never ceased; he was almost used to it.

"...This round of heavy rainfall is characterized by its wide range, long duration, and large cumulative rainfall."

Heavy to torrential rain fell in southwestern and northern Thailand, most of central Thailand and the northern part of the peninsula, with some areas experiencing extremely heavy rain. In the mountainous areas of central Thailand, even exceptionally heavy rain occurred.

"Due to rainfall, flooding occurred in the upper reaches of the Dalun River, Xiaoyue River, Hu River, and Xi River. Small and medium-sized rivers, including the Xiaolun River, a tributary of the Dalun River, experienced floods exceeding warning levels at one point, but all have now receded below the warning levels..."

On the television screen, numerous images of rivers, dams, water pumps, and small boats appeared, along with one emergency water conservancy project after another, and busy figures everywhere.

As Wu Yun watched and ate, he unknowingly finished the peach flesh on his plate, then licked the spoon and the plate... As a wealthy man, he usually didn't lick his plate, but when he thought that the little bit of peach juice on the bottom of the plate might be equivalent to a ninth-rank celestial official's annual salary, he still licked the plate clean.

"...It is reported that a total of 144 new drainage pumping stations were built across the province, and 25 emergency dredging operations were carried out in the city, effectively solving urban flooding problems..."

"...As of press time, the total water storage of large and medium-sized reservoirs, Xisi Lake, and Nanping Lake in the province is 58.88 billion cubic meters, an increase of 2.22 million cubic meters compared to before the rain. Currently, only three large and medium-sized reservoirs have exceeded the flood limit level, and the excess water depth is all less than 0.3 meters."

"The meteorological department predicts that there will still be heavy rainfall in our province in the next few days. The province's water conservancy system will continue to remain highly vigilant, strictly implement all flood prevention measures, ensure the safe operation of water conservancy projects, and protect the lives and property of the people."

That concludes the report.

Wu Yun turned off the TV and got up to wash the dishes.

I can't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, often including a sense of mixed feelings). I used to hear that humans were incredibly small in the face of natural disasters, but now it seems that natural disasters aren't so overwhelming after all.

Didn't all those torrential rains that lasted for more than ten days also end up in the ocean because of humans?
After washing the dishes, he returned to his study and lay down on the ergonomic chair.

Just as I was about to turn on the computer to see if there were any messages, I suddenly felt a warm current rising from my stomach and quickly spreading throughout my body!
"well?

"The peaches are really kicking in!"

My muscles started to ache, my joints started to ache and itch, my vision started to blur, and I started to feel dizzy...

My stomach even hurts a little!

Combining what the Immortal Official's Hat had given him with the knowledge he had gained from reading online novels over the years, Wu Yun immediately realized that the process of cleansing his meridians and marrow was about to begin!

Every celestial official who receives their first stipend must go through this process; no one can escape it!
He immediately got up from the ergonomic chair and ran to the bathroom in the master bedroom.

First, fill the bathtub with hot water!
Then sit on the toilet and wait quietly.
