Chapter 373: Infrastructure Brings a Modern Excavator
Nan Qinghuan immediately stopped, lowered her eyes to look at him; she knew Ying was very curious about this Excavator, but wondered if the man would tamper with its parts. Yet seeing Ying's expectant gaze, she almost let him climb up along the wheels; not letting him on seemed impossible.
She still wanted Ying to experience sitting in the Excavator.
After a moment she hurriedly said, "You may get on, but you must not tamper with anything, understand?"
Ying stood below, nodded like pounding garlic, "I won't tamper; I'll do whatever you say."
His eyes were full of admiration, and his fondness for Nan Qinghuan deepened.
Having received Nan Qinghuan's permission, Ying displayed his climbing skill, then, like a monkey, agilely got onto the Excavator; when he was up, Nan Qinghuan finally activated it.
Sitting up there, Ying felt he could overlook Jiuzhou.
This thing was so novel; everything here made him delighted.
All of it made him feel overly excited.
He, excited, reached out, trembling as he touched these modern items, gently feeling the patterns.
Truly unbelievable.
"Qinghuan, you truly are my Goddess."
Seeing the admiration and astonishment in Ying's eyes, Nan Qinghuan knew today's events would give these tribespeople a thorough eye‑opener.
She also thought, since her and senior brother's arrival had already disrupted the balance here, now that it's broken, break it completely and let imagination expand further.
Letting herself go!
As long as Merit Beans can exchange for anything useful to this infrastructure, even building railroads here she would dare!
"Sit properly."
Not to mention, Nan Qinghuan operating the Excavator made Ying admire, and naturally left those Rongdi Tribe people stunned for a long time.
Only Li Xiang had already seen that all the barrenness here would change; he saw future civilization sowing seeds across Jiuzhou Dadi.
They began to blossom everywhere.
This place would no longer be only forests and tribes; tribes would become towns, then capitals, and these peoples would be the earliest Common People.
Thinking of this, his heart surged.
It turned out Qinghuan's crossing here brought civilization, so why worry ancient development? Rongdi, seeing the stone already carried away by that monster, snapped back, "Unbelievable, that big stone was moved by that thing; why are you still dazed? Quickly, road building!"
Here the tribespeople began road building; without the big stone blocking, road building went smoothly. Li Xiang and Rongdi returned to the Tribe, and when they arrived the tribespeople's eyes were about to pop out.
Because they saw the Excavator, saw Nan Qinghuan bring the stone here.
"Chief, what is that monster? It's terrifying…"
The tribespeople, seeing Rongdi return, rushed forward to tell him, and Rongdi looked at Nan Qinghuan and Ying above, and the two slowly descended.
When they came down, Li Xiang was even more excited, "Junior sister, how did you get this thing?"
Nan Qinghuan looked at Li Xiang, then pulled him aside, "Senior brother, when I arrived I had a very powerful space; I can exchange anything I need, only requiring Merit Beans."
"What did you say?"
Li Xiang was bewildered, but their crossing had already been mysterious enough; if such a boon truly existed, that would be wonderful.
Nan Qinghuan didn't want to hide from senior brother; they are now comrades, so they need to use this space to help develop the Tribe.
"Exactly, when there's a chance I'll take you to see, how shall we deal with the stone now?"
Li Xiang stared at her deeply, only then truly believing her words; indeed, there is no fate that cannot bring these things.
He sighed deeply, "Just leave it here; later when there's a chance we can make a big profit."
"Make a big profit?"
Nan Qinghuan smiled, "These ancients aren't interested in these diamonds; they only care about having enough food and warm clothes—that's the real priority."
Li Xiang disagreed; he thought this was only temporary, that once the people here are fed and clothed, they will pursue higher things, enjoy spiritual pleasures, and the women will like these gems.
"Leave it for now; that day won't be too late. Junior sister, you truly have impressed me—you can even operate an Excavator?"
"What's the big deal? Operating isn't hard."
It's not hard; like driving, she learned quickly.
"Qinghuan, we should return."
"Return for what? Let's eat here first, then leave. We're about to prepare to build a Treehouse for the priest and Duo Luo; won't you go see?"
"Build a Treehouse?"
Nan Qinghuan looked at Li Xiang; this senior brother is building a house? Li Xiang smiled and nodded, "Exactly, Duo Luo and I are married so we need a new home. Winter is coming; Tulou is already too late. They say Treehouses are quick to build, so I thought we'd build one to live in first, and plan the house next spring."
"That works; what help do you need?"
Li Xiang smiled, "If you can come and see, that would be great; they're skilled at building Treehouses."
"Alright, I will definitely come, Ying, we…"
"Ying"
Not far away, Dashan arrived in a hurry, looking very urgent.
Dashan rode a Chu Dog here; after dismounting and seeing the Excavator, he was stunned for a while, trembling, and said, "Om, Ying, what is this monster?"
Dashan looked bewildered; Rongdi, seeing his silly expression, laughed heartily, "Ha ha, you kid don't recognize it, huh? This is an Excavator."
"Excavator."
Dashan, having never seen it, gave an awkward smile, "Om, did you bring this?"
Besides Nan Qinghuan, who else could do this? Ying knew Dashan must have rushed for some urgent matter, "What exactly happened?"
When that was said, everyone became a bit nervous.
Rongdi also hurriedly asked, "What's up with you, kid? Speak."
Dashan looked at Rongdi, seeming not fully convinced; Ying, understanding his meaning, nodded, "Speak, Rongdi is one of us."
Because hearing "one of us" made Rongdi very happy; he swore he would live up to Ying's words.
He walked to Ying's side, placed a hand on his shoulder; the two men were almost the same height, and the momentum was strong.
If they cooperate, there could be no one who would be their opponent.
Looking across the whole Jiuzhou Dadi, no one could be a rival!
Rongdi seemed very pleased, even excited, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not betray your words."
This time it was truly true; since Ying rescued them from the fire, they completely gave up the hatred between them and Ying.
In the future there will be only cooperation, as close as a family.
With Rongdi's words, Ying also exchanged a smile with them, and then Ying looked at Dashan and said, "Speak, what is it?"
Dashan hurriedly said, "It's like this: just now the wolf clan's Yao sent news, saying the leader of the You Su Tribe appeared at his place."
When this was said, Ying and Rongdi exchanged a glance; Ying furrowed his brows, ready to take his weapon, his first reaction being that the wolf clan was being invaded and needed rescue.
Dashan, realizing his misunderstanding, shook his head quickly and said, "It's not like that. The leader of the You Su Tribe wants to cooperate with Yao to deal with Rongdi, so Yao sent us a message asking us to go together to capture that person."
"What?"
