The red spinning top ignites at its edge, sintering the soil around it into a hard shell to prevent it from collapsing.
Meanwhile, the silver-white spinning top continued to dig deeper.
The three spinning tops rose and fell in perfect unison, and the crater expanded outward and downward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I...I am a food-type Soul Master."
Oscar looked at the four people working enthusiastically, scratched his head, and said, "I might not be able to help with digging, but—"
He took a deep breath.
"First Soul Skill: I Have a Giant Sausage!"
A yellow spirit ring rose from beneath Oscar's feet, and then five steaming hot sausages appeared in front of Wang Teng and the others.
"Nobody's had breakfast yet, so have some of my sausages to tide us over! They'll help restore our stamina and soul power!"
Wang Teng grabbed the grilled sausage and swallowed it in a few bites.
A warm sensation spread from my stomach to my limbs and bones.
Five people, five martial spirits, began their bustling work on this desolate land in the early morning.
As the sun gradually rose, the morning light changed from soft to dazzling.
The pit was dug deeper and deeper, and the soil was piled higher and higher.
"Oscar!"
Under the shade of a tree, Zhao Wuji opened one eyelid and shouted, "Go to the kitchen and bring breakfast."
"Yes!"
Oscar ran there quickly and then ran back quickly.
He took out a heavy food box from his storage soul tool.
Today's breakfast was meat buns. Everyone smelled the aroma and quickly gathered around, sitting on the ground and wolfing down their food despite being covered in dust.
Wang Teng had just taken a bite of his steamed bun when he suddenly stopped and asked, "Oscar, what about the girls' breakfast?"
"It's with me."
Oscar patted the food box and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"I'll deliver it."
Wang Teng stood up and explained, "You've been busy all morning, and your soul power must have been depleted quite a bit. Take a break and have some food first."
"I still have plenty of energy, it's just a piece of cake."
Oscar paused for a moment, then handed over the food box and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Wang Teng took the food box, turned around and left.
Behind him, Ma Hongjun muttered under his breath, "This guy's martial spirit is really useful. He can control the spinning top to do its work with just his mental power, while he rests on the side..."
"Say less."
Dai Mubai rolled his eyes at him, annoyed.
After Wang Teng's figure disappeared into the distance, Ma Hongjun lowered his voice and leaned closer, saying, "Hey, why do you think Wang Teng insisted on rushing to deliver the food?"
"Didn't you tell me to rest?"
Oscar answered honestly.
"Hey, you really are stupid."
Dai Mubai chuckled, glancing at him sideways, and said, "He's clearly using the opportunity of delivering food to get close to Ning Rongrong."
"Oscar, didn't you say you wanted to pursue Rongrong? Wang Teng has already made his move first."
"Boss Dai, Fatty."
Oscar scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "I don't think Wang Teng seems to be pursuing Rongrong."
"Didn't they have a grudge before? If anyone's going to pursue someone, it should be Zhu Zhuqing, right? Wang Teng saved Zhu Zhuqing, so they've crossed paths..."
Dai Mubai suddenly stood up, glared angrily at Oscar, and shouted, "What did you say!"
"Ah! Boss Dai, I was wrong!"
Oscar scrambled backward to avoid the danger.
"Alright, alright!"
Zhao Wuji's voice boomed like thunder, "After you finish eating, get back to work!"
"You still have the energy to fool around? Get up half an hour earlier tomorrow!"
"No, Teacher Zhao—"
The wailing sounded again, startling a few sparrows on the treetops.
……
The bamboo forest on the back mountain was completely different from the dusty area on the boys' side.
Wang Teng carried the food box to the edge of the bamboo forest, where a vast expanse of lush green bamboo stretched before him.
The morning breeze rustled through the bamboo leaves, casting countless tiny shadows that swayed on the ground, creating a flowing patchwork of light.
"Everyone, lunch is ready!"
Wang Teng raised his voice and shouted into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Soon after, the sound of rustling footsteps could be heard.
Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and their teacher Li Yusong emerged from the bamboo forest one after another.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Li Yusong took the food box and began distributing breakfast.
Wang Teng, however, was not in a hurry to leave.
He lowered his hand and took out a round orange from his storage soul tool.
"Rongrong, here you go."
Ning Rongrong had just taken the steamed bun when she heard the sound and looked up.
She paused for a moment when she saw the bright yellow orange.
"Wow, Wang Teng! Where did you get these oranges?"
Xiao Wu reacted quickly and snatched it away.
"I saved it myself."
Wang Teng remained expressionless, took out a second one from his soul tool, and handed it to Ning Rongrong again.
Xiao Wu peeled an orange and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling and teasing, "Hey...you rascal, you wouldn't happen to be trying to woo Rongrong, would you?"
"Is that not allowed?"
Wang Teng spoke calmly, but his gaze deliberately lingered on Ning Rongrong's face.
Ning Rongrong's face flushed red.
She quickly lowered her eyes, grabbed the oranges and steamed buns, and said in a muffled voice, "I...I'll go inside to eat."
Then, turning around, Ning Rongrong practically jogged and disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Xiao Wu paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hey, Wang Teng, you look promising!"
"Rongrong doesn't seem to have... refused!"
As she spoke, Xiao Wu winked at Wang Teng and lowered her voice, saying, "Wait here, I'll find out what's going on for you!"
Chapter 137 Unintentional Poaching
Xiao Wu skipped and hopped after Ning Rongrong, and the two figures quickly disappeared into the bamboo forest not far away.
Next, Zhu Zhuqing finished her bun in a few bites and said without turning her head, "I'm done eating too, goodbye."
Then he turned around and walked towards the bamboo forest.
The moment Zhu Zhuqing turned around, she and Wang Teng exchanged a glance for a second, both of them somewhat stunned.
However, they quickly pretended nothing had happened and left.
After that, Wang Teng also picked up the food box and turned to go down the mountain.
Teacher Li Yusong looked at the two young people's backs, shook his head with a smile, and said, "These young people nowadays..."
After descending the mountain, Wang Teng didn't delay and went straight back to the boys' group. He wiped his sweat, used his soul skill to release three large spinning tops, and started digging with everyone again.
From then on, Wang Teng and his group's lives became fixed.
During the day, everyone was digging in the wasteland.
In addition to this, Wang Teng had an extra task.
That means every day, without fail, he would carry a food box and deliver meals to the back mountain.
Every time he delivered food, he would also bring Ning Rongrong a separate serving of fruit, and each time it was a different fruit.
Sometimes it's a peeled orange, sometimes it's a pear cut into pieces, and sometimes it's a small bunch of washed grapes.
Ning Rongrong took the fruit without saying much, just lowered her head and ate slowly. Wang Teng didn't urge her, but stood by and waited until she finished eating before taking away the empty plate.
Days slipped by like that.
The pits on the wasteland were dug deeper and deeper, and the mounds of earth were piled higher and higher. The boys went from complaining at the beginning to being able to work hard for most of the day.
Wang Teng travels back and forth between the wasteland and the back mountain every day, his steps becoming more and more steady.
Three days later, the wasteland had been completely transformed.
A large square pit, 100 meters long and wide and 10 meters deep, suddenly appeared before our eyes. The swimming pool that Dean Flander was supposed to build had actually been dug out.
Zhao Wuji stood on the edge of the pit, looking down at the five dusty-faced boys below, and unusually praised them, "Not bad, you're fast, and your effort wasn't wasted."
At the bottom of the pit, the five people, their heads and faces covered in dirt, all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
