Water Ghost, God Hunter, Immortal Healer, and the Great Xia's Number One Martial Saint!

After cutting down so many trees in one day, plus splitting the trees, cutting branches, and transporting the trees back to Li Xiaohua's house, back and forth, even though Li Xingdao's spirit attribute had reached a value of 1.7, he still felt exhausted.

The chicken he ate at noon had long since been used as fuel, mostly consumed by his day's work.

The remaining small portion, along with the chicken leg and eggs from the evening, transformed into nourishment, filling the energy void left by his previous physical upgrade.

However, compared to the energy depletion brought about by the 0.4 metal elemental growth, this amount of food was not much. Therefore, although Li Xingdao felt more grounded, he did not feel the same sense of fullness as before.

However, upgrading the woodcutter's profession will inevitably consume a lot of physical strength and energy, which is unavoidable.

Even if Li Xiaohua hadn't given him the chicken, he would still have found a way to cut down so many trees.

So there's no question of whether you're at a loss or not; as long as you allocate attribute points to him, you're making a profit.

Moreover, chickens are a very precious commodity in this era.

The fact that he was able to eat a chicken today is already a testament to Li Xiaohua's kind and honest nature.

Don't you see that in the homes of small landlords like Li Lai, the whole family does farm work for him, and they only get a chicken every half month?

However, it's not advisable to immediately add the 0.2 attribute points gained today.

Fortunately, he now has a good catch of fish and is eating well at Li Lai's house.

After a few days of replenishing nutrition and resting, once the energy reserves in your body continue to increase, there will be no problem.

"I wonder if we can cut down more trees tomorrow. It would be even better if we could."

When Li Xingdao returned to Li Lai's house, he was still thinking about his woodcutter rank.

His wood-chopping skill is impressive, and he's really looking forward to the results of future upgrades.

And the corresponding attribute points.

However, seeing the full 50 experience points following behind, I felt somewhat helpless.

He had such difficulty cutting down 10 trees, how long will it take to complete this 50?

"Forget it, there's always a way out. Let's cut down one tree at a time."

Li Xingdao shook his head, stopping himself from thinking about it any longer, and then walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

The sky was not yet completely dark; the sun was halfway down the western horizon, and there was still some light in the courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, they indeed saw Li Lai, looking displeased, leaning on his cane and pacing back and forth at the gate.

Zhang Cui covered the dishes with an empty bowl on the table and didn't move them, clearly waiting for him to come back.

"The path of justice has returned."

As Li Xingdao entered the courtyard, Zhang Cui, who had been staring at the door, brightened up and hurriedly waved to him, raising her fair face and calling out softly.

"Hey, Zhang Cui's back."

Li Xingdao responded with a smile, and then quickly walked to the water basin by the yard, scooped up some water to wash his hands and face.

When Li Xingdao entered the courtyard, it was just as Li Lai was walking in with his back to the gate.

As the two started talking, Li Lai noticed that Li Xingdao had returned.

Seeing Zhang Cui greet Li Xingdao so warmly but treat him so coldly, Li Lai pouted, and without saying a word, he leaned on his cane and went back to the main seat in the main room to eat.

"You don't even wait for someone to wash their hands before coming in to eat."

Zhang Cui went to the kitchen ahead of time to serve rice to Li Xingdao. She filled a large bowl with rice. When she entered the room, she saw that Li Lai had already removed the empty bowl from the vegetable basin and was eating with chopsticks. Immediately, she spoke with a reproachful expression.

After speaking, he glared at Li Lai, turned around and went into the kitchen, bringing over the other two bowls of rice.

After washing his hands and face, Li Xingdao entered the room and saw this scene, a smile spreading across his face.

"In rural areas, ultimately, it's the labor force that matters, at least at home; whoever can do the work has the final say."

Li Xingdao thought to himself, then picked up his large bowl of rice, picked up a piece of meat and chewed it, while raising his eyebrows and looking at Li Lai:

"Hey Li Lai, you're disabled and you still have food to eat. You don't do any work every day, yet you can still eat your fill of rice. You've got quite the nerve."

After Li Xingdao finished speaking, he chuckled and started eating his food, no longer looking at Li Lai.

But Li Lai's face darkened considerably.

"You idiot, you eat my food, drink my water, and live in my house, and now you're criticizing me? If you keep this up, I'll cut off your food supply!"

Li Lai angrily addressed Li Xingdao, but Li Xingdao immediately switched to a simple and honest expression after speaking, which infuriated Li Lai.

This is where the advantage of having a seemingly simple-minded persona comes in.

A simpleton isn't someone who can't speak; he's just honest and simple-minded.

Sometimes these simpletons say some really witty things, which can make people even angrier.

Moreover, as everyone knows, most of these sayings are things that simpletons learn from elsewhere, so you can't really take them too seriously.

Hearing Li Xingdao say this, Li Lai was so angry that he glared, but given his expression, he couldn't say anything more. He could only stare and gulp down a couple of mouthfuls of rice.

Then he felt his mouth was tasteless, so he simply went back to his room to rest.

Li Xingdao, however, paid no heed and, with Zhang Cui serving him food, comfortably filled the remaining space in his stomach, even consuming the two fish that Li Lai hadn't eaten.

Only then did he smile broadly as he took off his sweat-soaked clothes, took a shower, and went back to his room to sleep.

He slept soundly, but Zhang Cui could not.

She busied herself washing the pots and pans, then washing Li Xingdao's clothes, and preparing new clothes for him to wear the next day. Only then did she take a bath, prepare breakfast and firewood for the next day, and go to bed.

Li Xingdao, who had worked all night and all day, was even more exhausted than the day before. He lay in bed, unaware of what insomnia was, and slept soundly until he smelled the aroma of food the next morning.

I woke up and touched my stomach. I didn't feel hungry, but after just getting up, cracking my teeth, and moving around a bit, the feeling of hunger came over me.

He ate the food Zhang Cui brought him in big mouthfuls, feeling sore all over.

"Those five trees weren't cut down easily."

Li Xingdao felt the soreness in his muscles and sighed inwardly. He understood why the people of Peach Blossom Village would cut down an entire tree whenever they needed firewood.

Because it's such a long distance into the mountains and forests, getting firewood by simply cutting and collecting branches back and forth is too tedious and exhausting.

Although there are peach trees in Peach Blossom Village, they don't produce many branches. There are only some trees that provide shade, and a few leaves and small twigs fall down here and there. They can only be used as kindling, which is not enough to burn every day.

Therefore, in order to save physical strength and unnecessary trouble and waste, trees are cut down one by one and transported home for storage and burning. Otherwise, just running back and forth to the mountains would be exhausting.

With this thought in mind, Li Xingdao realized that there were still two targets to be cut off at Li Xiaohua's house, so he decided to endure the pain and go.

Because he wasn't exactly a man who didn't work out all year round, this intensity would have been considered high-intensity exercise in his previous life, but for him in this world, it was only slightly more strenuous.

With his current metal attribute value of 1.7, it's within his tolerance range. As long as he endures the soreness and moves around a bit, the soreness will go away.

After all, it's not like we do this every day.

Moreover, he died suddenly from sitting in the office all night in his previous life. In this life, he is doing these physically demanding and sweaty jobs. Although Li Xingdao is physically exhausted, he is very cheerful. In addition, the positive feedback from the career panel makes him feel even more happy.

Therefore, Li Xingdao was very enthusiastic when he went to Li Xiaohua's house to chop firewood.

However, Li Xiaohua blushed slightly as she thought about how she had been going to the woods every day for the past two days and had misunderstood what Li Xingdao wanted to do to her.

However, she did not refute anything, and continued to walk with Li Xingdao into the mountains with her delicate body.
