"Brother Xingdao..."

In the cool morning air of the mountain forest, Li Xiaohua spread out her cloth under the shade of a tree and shyly called out to Li Xingdao, who was smiling in front of her.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Xingdao gently lean towards her. Her cheeks flushed, she closed her eyes, and feeling the tingling sensation, she couldn't help but hum softly.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour or so later, after Li Xingdao left, that Li Xiaohua finally recovered from the numbness that had gripped her entire body, and shyly glanced at Li Xingdao.

Seeing him straighten his clothes, she followed him to a tree and watched him powerfully swing his axe to chop down the tree.

"Knock knock knock..."

As the morning sun shone down, Li Xingdao chopped down trees, one axe blow after another, under Li Xiaohua's watchful gaze.

Before he knew it, he had been chopping away until noon. He stopped chopping down the fourth tree and wiped the sweat from his body.

He took the wet towel from Li Xiaohua, carefully wiped the sweat off his face and body, drank a few sips of water placed under the shade of a tree, and then sat down with Li Xiaohua under the shade of the tree, opening the food she had brought.

To increase efficiency, Li Xiaohua brought their lunch with her when she set off today.

Their plan was to cut down enough trees in the morning, take a nap at noon, and then get up and continue cutting.

That's why Li Xingdao kept cutting down four trees before stopping.

"Brother Xingdao, here, this stuffed chicken is for you."

Li Xiaohua opened the large bag of food she had brought, revealing a whole stuffed chicken inside.

She swallowed hard, but firmly handed all the items to Li Xingdao, looking at his gentle face as she spoke.

"Hehe, alright, little flower girl, then I won't be polite."

Li Xingdao looked at the whole chicken in front of him, his eyes gleaming, and spoke without any politeness.

After saying that, he grabbed a chicken leg and started gnawing on it.

"Yes, Brother Xingdao, don't be so polite. You've worked so hard cutting down trees for our family, it's only right that you do it."

Li Xiaohua suppressed her appetite and smiled at Li Xingdao.

After saying that, he picked up the rice from the side and started eating it with the radish next to him.

Li Xingdao smiled but didn't say anything. He just ate the chicken in his hand with all his might, chewing the bones and meat to pieces with his 1.7 spirit attribute power, and then swallowed it carefully.

Before long, he had eaten the meat and bones of a whole chicken.

However, he deliberately left the chicken head, wings, feet, and a bit of the tail—things that looked like bad parts—into Li Xiaohua's bowl instead of eating them.

Then he picked up the rice, ate a bowl of vegetables, and then another bowl of rice, before he felt full.

"Little Flower, you eat first. I'm full, so I'll go digest and then go to sleep."

After Li Xingdao finished eating, he said something to Li Xiaohua, then turned around, picked up his axe, and cut a tree into four sections.

After finishing the procedure, feeling that his digestion was almost complete, he breathed a sigh of relief, drank some water, and lazily walked to the shade of a tree to the side, where he lay down on the cool mat that Li Xiaohua had laid out in advance to rest.

"Brother Xingdao specially saved this for me."

Li Xiaohua looked at Li Xingdao, who was lying down to sleep, then at the bone she couldn't chew and had left behind, and looked at the trees in front of her, muttering to herself.

After saying that, he pursed his lips, picked up the axe, and took over clearing away the branches from a tree before finally going to sleep, exhausted.

"Knock knock knock..."

Li Xiaohua had just lain down when Li Xingdao woke up. Without a moment's rest, he picked up his axe and began chopping at the trees.

He deliberately walked far away, so the sound of chopping down the tree was not loud and did not disturb Li Xiaohua's sleep.

When Li Xiaohua woke up, another tree had been ruthlessly chopped down.

"Click~"

With a sharp crack, the tree fell to the ground.

At the same time, information from a subpage that only he could see floated past Li Xingdao's eyes.

[Lumberjacking +1]

[Congratulations! Your Lumberjack skill experience points have been met. You have upgraded from Lumberjack Lv1 to Lumberjack Lv2 (0/50)]

[Attribute Points +0.2]

[Woodcutter Lv1 upgraded to: Woodcutter Lv2]

[Wood Chopping Lv2: Learn more wood chopping techniques]

On the career panel, streams of information flashed by.

Li Xingdao instantly felt that he had gained more experience and understanding in how to use an axe to chop wood, and was able to more easily exert stronger chopping force.

"Is this the power of the woodcutter's skills? Not bad."

Li Xingdao felt the power of the Level 2 woodcutter's strike, and his eyes lit up.

He couldn't resist picking up the axe and swinging it once. Instantly, he felt as if all the strength in his body had been mobilized, making the power of this axe far exceed the power he should have had when chopping wood before. His eyes immediately lit up.

"Even a level two woodchopping skill can mobilize all my strength. Will I be able to unleash even more profound mysteries at levels three, four, and five?"

Li Xingdao couldn't help but think to himself, and instantly realized something else: the more difficult a profession is to improve, the more important the skill might be.

If this is the case for woodcutters, then what about farming, which is probably even more difficult?

"Phew, anyway, I've got those 0.2 attribute points."

Upon realizing this, Li Xingdao let out a long breath, then shook his arms and looked at the sun overhead.

Instead of cutting down the tree, he gathered branches and cut it into four sections, preparing to transport it to Li Xiaohua's home.

When Li Xingdao cut down the second tree, Li Xiaohua also woke up.

However, she was a bit weak and couldn't help much, so she could only grit her teeth and follow along, picking up branches.

Fortunately, with her help, at least we had someone to do the work.

After Li Xingdao cut all five trees, he then tied them all together with her help.

Afterwards, he told Li Xiaohua to slowly gather the branches and bundle them up to rest, while he carried the trees down the mountain on his back.

There are five trees in total. It will take 10 round trips to transport the trunks. After transporting the trunks, it will take another 10 or more round trips to transport the branches.

He needed to get the things back as quickly as possible before it got completely dark.

Carrying the tree back was no more tiring than cutting it down, but Li Xingdao was still happy to see the 0.2 attribute points he had gained and the upgraded skill.

He worked with great enthusiasm, carrying the logs from the five trees back and forth to Li Xiaohua's house. By the time they were all brought back, as expected, it was already dark.

Fortunately, he ate the chicken at noon, which gave him energy and nutrition, so he didn't feel too weak.

After delivering the last batch of Li Xiaohua and the trees to her home, he washed up and ate two chicken legs and five eggs at her house.

Before the sun had completely set, he left Li Xiaohua's house and returned to his own home, amidst her reluctant gaze.

"Brother Xingdao is such a good person."

Li Xiaohua watched Li Xingdao's departing figure, bit her lip, and went back to take care of her mother who couldn't walk.

Seeing a yard full of firewood on my way back filled me with a sense of peace.

Three stacks of firewood were missing from the yard; her father had returned them to the neighbors when he came back at noon.

She immediately thought of Li Xingdao, who had chopped wood for her, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
