Chapter 26: Changing Professions: Magician
“Good afternoon, everyone.”
“That’s right, it’s me, I’m back again.”
Qi Xuan smiled and said to the camera as he walked:
“Some observant friends may have already noticed that I didn’t continue heading North, but instead turned back, returning along the original route.”
“The specific reason is simple. After the midday break, I walked a short distance North again, and encountered a difficult-to-solve danger. As for what that danger was, it might be hard to explain to you all at once. Never mind, wait until I’m prepared, and then I’ll go into detail, and you’ll know.”
Qi Xuan walked through the grass, the dripping weeds crunching under his feet. His shoes would occasionally sink into the mud, and when he pulled them out, they would make a squelching sound.
“On the way back, there was a torrential rain. Luckily, I found a big tree to shelter under, and I was fortunate enough not to get wet. But I can’t do anything about the ground, which is soaked through by the rain. I can only take it one step at a time.”
“Generally speaking, I’m quite welcoming of this heavy rain. It’s related to a crucial water source. With water, we can not only drink, but also use it for washing and wiping our bodies, and even washing clothes. If it weren’t for this rain, I wouldn’t dare to be so extravagant and wasteful.”
“I’m almost at the Settlement. Let’s see where the nearby shallow water puddle, which can be used for drinking, has risen to. Maybe next time I can try to dig it deeper to accumulate more rainwater.”
Qi Xuan said, his gaze sweeping across the distance, and his expression suddenly became blank.
Following his line of sight, the netizens immediately discovered the blind spot.
They saw a lean-to completely collapse, broken wood toppled, branches and leaves scattered, looking utterly miserable.
Seeing this, the netizens were immediately overjoyed:
“Generally speaking, I’m quite welcoming of this heavy rain… hahaha.”
“Just now, I was praising the heavy rain, and when I went back to look, my home was washed away.”
“This rain is good, it’s good!”
“It’s just right to upgrade the lean-to. Come out, treehouse Villa!”
“The difficulty of a treehouse is still too high, but building a Small Wooden House is still possible.”
“Forget it, with this weather, everything is damp. Let’s just build a lean-to.”
“Seriously, it’s not easy to build a lean-to.”
…
Looking at the lean-to destroyed by the torrential rain, Qi Xuan was somewhat helpless, but considering the rain just now, it was inevitable.
If it’s destroyed, then so be it.
If it’s destroyed, then build another one.
Otherwise, there really won’t be a place to sleep tonight.
Originally, Qi Xuan was worried that the Live Stream effect of building a lean-to might not be very good. After all, he wasn’t a professional, and the lean-to he built last time was quite ugly, and the structure wasn’t particularly strong, otherwise it wouldn’t have been destroyed by the torrential rain.
But soon he thought of a new idea that would definitely surprise the audience watching the Live Stream.
Immediately, he said to the camera:
“Everyone has seen that my lean-to was unfortunately destroyed. If I don’t want to sleep in the open tonight and be eaten by mosquitoes, I definitely have to build another one. Let’s start building it now!”
Saying this, he first went to the Tree Hole and then started looking for materials.
The netizens, seeing this, also started chatting in the Live Stream Room:
“Judging by this, the lean-to won’t be built by the end of the Live Stream, right?”
“Forget about building a lean-to, whether the materials can be gathered is not certain. Don’t forget that it just rained outside, and many things are still wet.”
“The first step should be to choose a site, at least find a relatively dry ground, otherwise what’s the use of building your lean-to? Aren’t you afraid of getting damp?”
“I bet a hundred, the Streamer won’t be able to build the shelter before the end of the Live Stream.”
“Then I’ll bet fifty, at most he can only collect the materials.”
“Bet ten, the materials won’t even be collected.”
“Damn! Why are you betting lower and lower?”
…
The bets and doubts of the people in the Live Stream Room did not affect Qi Xuan’s actions.
Because it had just rained heavily, many places in the forest, including the trees, had become very damp.
But there were also branches and leaves that were too dense and hadn’t gotten much rain.
Qi Xuan first found a few relatively dry big trees and Dry Wood, took out his Tactical Folding Knife and started chopping Branches, collecting Leaves, and even peeling Bark. His movements were very skillful, and he quickly piled up a pile of materials on the ground.
Then he said to the camera:
“The materials are all ready, and now it’s the formal construction.”
“But there’s still a distance from the building site I’ve chosen, let me perform a Magic for you all first.”
“Remember not to blink, you must watch carefully.”
Saying this, Qi Xuan repeatedly showed his hands in front of the Live Stream camera, even rolling up his sleeves, revealing two clean Wrists.
Then, with both hands, he embraced the materials on the ground, and lightly shouted:
“Collect!”
The next second, the large pile of Branches, Leaves, and even Bark on the ground all suddenly disappeared.
Only a clean ground remained.
Seeing this scene, the netizens were all stunned:
“???”
“?????”
“【Panda head dumbfounded】.”
“What the hell, am I seeing things?”
“What happened just now? How did the materials suddenly disappear?”
“I understand, this is cultivation! This must be cultivation!!”
“The Streamer probably got a world modifier? Just pressed the delete key?”
“A bunch of Fools, didn’t you hear the Streamer say he was going to perform Magic?”
“Is this also Magic? Who told him to perform Magic like this??”
“My grandma can see through this Magic—wait, how did it really disappear?”
…
After collecting the materials, Qi Xuan traveled light and quickly came to a hillside with a slightly higher Terrain and was relatively dry.
He glanced at the two small trees nearby, roughly gestured, and then said to the camera:
“Next is the moment to witness the miracle.”
He stretched out his clean hands.
He lightly shouted:
“Change!”
The next second, a thick Branch, about one and a half meters long and almost as thick as a bowl, immediately appeared in his hand.
He held the thick Branch and placed it between the trunks of the two small trees.
“Change again.”
Fishing Line appeared in his hand. He wrapped it around the connection, then cut it with a Folding Knife, and fixed the thick Branch horizontally between the two small trees.
“Keep changing.”
Qi Xuan held a pile of Branches out of thin air, one end resting on the horizontal bar he had just fixed, and the other end resting on the ground, laying them out in a row.
Then he filled the triangular gaps on both sides of the small trees, forming a lean-to structure that was surrounded on three sides and open on one side.
“Then change.”
A large number of small Branches appeared in his hand, covering the row of Branches laid on the horizontal bar, forming a Roof.
“Not enough, not enough, it’s still far from enough.”
He then continued to spread the relatively dry Leaves on the Branches, and then continued to cover them with Bark.
As Qi Xuan’s actions continued, a brand new lean-to was quickly built.
And the netizens of Blue Star had already been completely dumbfounded:
“What’s going on?”
“Where did so many materials come from?”
“Where the hell did you hide the Branches?”
“A small crotch, a large capacity.”
“Isn’t this Magic effect better than the Spring Festival Gala?”
“Amazing, I didn’t expect the Streamer to have this trick.”
“From now on, I won’t watch Magic shows below the Streamer’s level.”
“Shocking! A heavy rain, unexpectedly turned a wilderness survivalist into a Magician.”
“I pray to God to rain more, maybe the Streamer can be turned into Superman.”
“Streamer, Streamer, I want to see Laser shooting from your eyes!!”
“I want to see invisibility! Naked invisibility, and then suddenly fail, slurp slurp!”
“Damn, are we making wishes here?”
…
