Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

On the road.

Luo Yunshu glanced at the sky and suddenly frowned, saying, "Brother Xia An, something's not right."

"How so?"

Xia An frowned slightly, puzzled.

"It's so stuffy today, it might rain. Our medicinal herbs..."

Luo Yunshu asked nervously.

Xia An frowned, glanced up at the sky, and thought it made sense.

The weather is hot and humid with low air pressure, which allows fish to surface at midday...

Isn't this a sign that it's about to rain?

Xia An quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to determine whether it was about to rain by using his hunting skills to gain some basic knowledge of weather.

It looks like it's going to rain.

But when he reached out and probed the air, he found a very faint, dry, hot breeze.

This made it difficult for him to make a judgment for the time being.

Thinking of something, he asked himself:

—System, is it going to rain?

"..."

"Host, this system is just a sign-in system; it's not omnipotent, understand?"

A clear, ethereal voice rang out, carrying a hint of speechlessness.

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly.

Just as I was about to say something, the system's ethereal voice continued to ring out.

"Given that the host has completed ten skin check-ins, a special reward is granted."

"Claim now?"

Xia An asked in surprise:

—System, I completed ten skin check-ins last night, right? Why is this notification?

The system did not answer him, but simply relayed the prompt again:

"Claim now?"

--receive!

Xia An said decisively, "Since there's a reward, who cares when it comes? Why not take it?"

As he agreed, a message appeared in his mind.

Skill - My heart is the heart of heaven!

Through the message notification, Xia An already knew the function of this skill.

It sounds impressive, but it's just a small skill that affects the weather.

Simply put, he can influence the weather within a ten-mile radius once a month.

This includes, but is not limited to, sunny days, cloudy days, rainy days, snowy days, foggy days, windy days, etc.

The impact will last a maximum of seven days, depending on the weather conditions that cause it.

If it snows in summer or hails in the height of summer, the duration will be reduced to one day.

If the process is terminated midway and more than one day remains, it will be converted into a localized impact.

The term "local" refers to a designated area within a radius of ten li (approximately 5 kilometers), or a radius of one kilometer.

It can be transformed up to three times, affecting the local area.

The impact on a localized area may last for a maximum of one day, and can be terminated at any time.

In addition, this skill has a passive effect: it can reveal the weather changes within a radius of 100 miles for the next two days.

It is triggered passively once every three days.

How so?

This skill seems a bit fantastical.

However, there are also significant limitations; if used carelessly, it might have surprising effects in this era.

At least for Xia An, this skill would be of great use.

For example, if there is a heavy rain at this time, building a house will definitely be greatly affected.

This skill can help him.

Or, sometimes when you go into the mountains to collect herbs, you might suddenly encounter an unusual situation.

If used properly, it can also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Luo Yunshu said anxiously, "Brother Xia An, the medicinal herbs are drying..."

"Also, the construction site will be affected; we need to remind them as soon as possible."

Xia An snapped out of his daze and laughed, "It's alright. Based on my hunting experience, it's highly unlikely to rain today."

The passive effect of "My heart is the heart of heaven" has already been triggered.

Two hours later, a moderate to heavy rainstorm will last for three hours.

But would Xia An allow it?

As for now, no rush. Let's catch some fish first to improve our meals.

"Let's go catch some fish!"

As he spoke, he picked up a bucket and walked towards the river.

Seeing this, Luo Yunshu frowned slightly and looked at Li Yuxue, asking:

"You hunt too, can you tell?"

Li Yuxue shook her head, "I feel like it's going to rain, but I'm not sure. Let's check again later."

"Okay... then."

Helpless, Luo Yunshu and the other person followed Xia An to the riverbank.

Sure enough, at this moment, there were quite a few fish bubbling up in the river.

Xia An put his index finger to his lips, signaling the two to be quiet, and then picked up a handful of suitable pebbles.

Then, with his eyes fixed on the riverbank not far away, he quickly threw out pebbles.

He threw pebbles one after another, making a slight whistling sound.

Luo Yunshu and Li Yuxue both stared intently at the riverbank with their beautiful eyes, not blinking an eye.

The pebble shot through the air and struck the heads of all four fish instantly.

The fish rolled their eyes, turned their bellies up, and sank slightly.

Then it floated on the surface of the water.

The other fish, startled, fled in panic.

Upon seeing this, Li Yuxue and the other woman widened their eyes, staring at Xia An in astonishment.

That's really impressive!

Xia An threw out six pebbles and hit four fish. What high efficiency!

Luo Yunshu realized what was happening and quickly went into the water to put the stunned fish into a bucket.

"Brother Xia An, you're amazing!"

"No problem."

Xia An smiled and said, "I practiced aiming before, but I never thought of using it for fishing."

"I only thought of it last night when I came to the river and saw the fish surfacing."

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Yunshu, shook his head, and smiled:

"I can handle this. Now your pants are wet, see how uncomfortable you are?"

Luo Yunshu realized what was happening, looked down, and saw that half of her pants were wet.

She laughed awkwardly, "I was too excited just now and forgot to put my arm around you."

Li Yuxue laughed and said, "By the time you come up, the fish will have woken up."

Luo Yunshu laughed and said, "Since my pants are all wet, leave the rest to me."

As he spoke, he rolled up his pants to above his knees.

"I'll join too!"

Li Yuxue smiled, rolled up her pants, and took the bucket from Xia An's hand.

Seeing this, Xia An smiled and did not dampen their enthusiasm.

"good,"

He laughed and said, "Then let's work together as a team and try to score as many points as possible."

"good!"

Both of them nodded.

Having witnessed Xia An's accuracy in throwing stones, they were full of enthusiasm for the next action.

The three of them walked downstream, and whenever they saw a large fish surface, Xia An would throw a stone at it.

Specializing in throwing stones with throwing knives, Xia An became more and more adept at it, and his accuracy improved.

But he didn't fully demonstrate it, so he only showed about 70-80% accuracy.

More than half an hour later,

The three of them had moved from the upper reaches of the river near the west end of the village to the lower reaches of the river near the east end of the village.

at this time,

Each of Luo Yunshu's and her companion's buckets contained at least ten fish.

Almost all of them were crucian carp and small-scaled fish weighing between three ounces and half a pound, with some whitebait as well.

The two men carried buckets, swinging their slightly aching hands, their faces showing a mixture of excitement and numbness.

Luo Yunshu, seeing Xia An's enthusiastic expression, quickly said:

"Brother Xia An, isn't that enough?"

"Is it almost done?"

Xia An turned his head in confusion, and a pebble in his hand flew out of control.

"what!"

A gasp came from behind the reeds not far away, and Luo Yunshu's expression changed slightly.

"Brother Xia An, it looks like you hit someone."

"Let's go take a look!"

Xia An quickly said, turned around and walked briskly over there.

But the two of them were nowhere to be seen, and the faint smile that appeared on the corner of his mouth was gone.
