I rule the world with cuteness [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 40 The Ghost King and the Scumbag 05

"Boss, there is really something to eat!"

On the way to the backyard, Tang Jin and Cheng Hongyi happened to meet two people that Lao Diao had sent to find food. Cheng Hongyi walked towards them and they even stood aside to let them pass first.

Tang Tin couldn't help but feel amazing when he passed by them.

After all, at noon, this was a little bastard trying to scare him...

Both Cheng Hongyi and Tang Ting ate the dry bread in the kitchen and drank the water in the well, so Lao Diao and the others had no scruples about eating and drinking.

Tang Zhi and the others had arrived at the mouth of the well in the backyard when they were feasting, and Tang Zhi was shocked by the scene again——

First of all, the yard is bright, quite bright.

In several places around the yard, two or three meters high logs were inserted, with things like kerosene lamps hung on them, enough to illuminate the yard.

Next, the whole yard was piled up with stubby logs, piled up as high as a hill.

If the cabin in front is a low-profile log cabin, then the backyard is as big as a lumber factory.

There is a circle of wooden stakes not far from the wellhead, each with an ax stuck in it, which looks a bit old.

Tang Ting squatted down and looked at the ax carefully—although it was old, it was sharp. He tried it with sawdust next to it, and it was quite sharp.

While Tang Jin was looking at the axe, Cheng Hongyi had already circled the yard and these wooden stakes.

He looked around, his expression extremely focused, and he was carefully looking at the situation in the courtyard.

Tang Ting was curious about what he was looking at, so he followed him to look at it, but he couldn't see why he looked here and there.

He couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask, "Well... what are you looking at?"

"Do you remember the content of the survival message on that phone call?"

Cheng Hongyi asked while looking down.

"Remember." Tang Ting nodded obediently. Although the original owner's brain could not reach the level of photographic memory, he could retrieve the memory information.So Tang Ting recounted the content of the task exactly and verbatim.

This kind of skill is actually quite against the sky, but Hongyi just glanced at him after hearing his description, and did not express any surprise.He muttered to himself: "It takes three days to chop as much wood as possible according to the specified size..."

"Yes." Tang Zhi nodded, "That's what he said."

"Then there are a few questions now." Cheng Hongyi stretched out his slender fingers:

"First, what kind of wood to chop. Second, what is the specified size. Third, when does the time start to count."

"..." Tang Ting blinked, he didn't know the answers to these questions.

Fortunately, Cheng Hongyi seemed to have some clues, he said, "Let's go back and have a look."

"Okay." Tang Ting followed Cheng Hongyi obediently and walked back.

Walking all the way back to the fireplace, Cheng Hongyi looked down at the wood piled in front of the fireplace.

Tang Ting followed him to see that each of these logs was so thick that an adult would need two hands to hold one.And each one is very round and neatly trimmed, as if the size and thickness are exactly the same...

Cheng Hongyi bent down and picked up one of them after looking at it. Tang Ting followed suit and picked up one too. The two of them were about to go back to the yard when they heard the old eagle who was chewing hard. With food in his mouth, he said vaguely: "How is it? What did you find?"

It turned out that they were thrown in such a barren place without food and drink, and everyone fell into despair.

Human nature at this time is the most vulnerable to the test.

But now that there is enough food to eat and drink, Lao Diao is in a better mood, and at the same time, he is no longer so guarded against Cheng Hongyi.At this moment, his attitude softened completely, as if he wasn't the one who drew his sword at every turn just now.

Cheng Hongyi said: "I have to confirm again, you can come to the backyard to have a look later."

As he spoke, he took Tang Zhi to the backyard, and the two of them put the wood they carried on the ground, and Cheng Hongyi took two more pieces of wood from the yard and put them together, so that Tang Zhi could see it immediately after comparing them. There are clues.

The wood in the yard is uneven in shape, some are thick and some are thin, and the lengths are completely different.

But the size and shape of the logs stacked in front of the fireplace for burning fire are exactly the same. Does this mean...

"Is this the size specified by the system?" Tang Ting pointed to the wood brought by the fireplace, and said with a little surprise, "Then we are going to chop these irregular woods into this size?"

"I guess so." Cheng Hongyi said.

Tang Jin: "..."

So how did Cheng Hongyi come up with the idea to observe the wood to determine its size?He didn't think of it at all!

And this system is too irresponsible to assign tasks... Just like his system, people have to figure out everything by themselves...

Tang Ting couldn't help complaining.

But Cheng Hongyi said: "Because the content of the task is very short, every word is very important. You remember..."

"Remember what?" Tang Zhi, who was looking at the wood with his butt pouted, raised his head curiously when he saw the other party's voice stopped abruptly, wanting to ask him what's wrong.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Hongyi just shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

"?" Tang Ting was a little puzzled.

There is still no sound of insects or wind in the yard. Because the view is blocked by piles of wood, I don't know what is behind the cabin. At night like this, the silence is so palpitating.

Fortunately, there was no silence for too long.

The two people who were looking at each other heard a series of screams at the same time, and the source of the sound was precisely - the cabin in front of the yard!

The two glanced at each other, and as soon as Tang Ting stood up, Cheng Hongyi naturally grabbed his hand, and the two rushed to the front room.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ting, who ran to the place, asked.

This cabin is really small, and it only took a few seconds for them to run back, so that Tang Jin can still hear the "ringing ringing" phone tone echoing in the room, and Lao Diao holding the phone. Shaking hand with straight cell phone.

He frantically pressed the answer button, but the ringing tone of "Ringlingling" showed no signs of stopping.

Can't pick up the phone.

And obviously, the ringtone this time was not from the mobile phone in his hand.

"What's going on here?" Lao Diao was completely stunned, and looked at Cheng Hongyi with frightened and help-seeking eyes. Cheng Hongyi raised his hand and looked at the time again, and his indifferent voice was intertwined with the urgent phone call .

"There's another phone," he said.

While speaking, his body moved, and he rushed straight to the fireplace, and then took out another mobile phone that was exactly the same as the one held by Lao Diao from the gap between the bricks on the edge of the fireplace.

Then, under the eyes of everyone holding their breath, Cheng Hongyi pressed the answer button without any hesitation.

There was that strange "hissing" electrical sound again. Cheng Hongyi didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to make a sound. After about a minute, there was finally a movement on the other end of the phone.

This time, Cheng Hongyi simply pressed the hands-free button.A hoarse and unpleasant voice echoed in the cabin: "Welcome to the cabin for a short stay, and now I will announce the specific game content—"

The ugly voice suddenly sped up, and the sound of the electric current became louder, which made its intonation even more strange: "Winter is coming, hunters who go up the mountain to hunt must leave this mountain as soon as possible. But the broken wooden bridge blocked The footsteps of hunters crossing the river, please prepare as much wood as possible according to the standard!"

The sound of the electric current seemed to turn into the whirring wind. If the sound wasn't so weird, it would be like telling them a story again.

But that sound was really ugly.

Moreover, this world is still full of weirdness, so none of the people present appreciated it, but they became more and more irritable when they heard it.

"What is he talking about?" Stimulated by the strange voice, Huang Xiaomeng and the others became frightened again and asked impatiently.

The voice in the phone has not stopped, and he said to himself along with the noise: "Hurry up! Time is running out!"

Cheng Hongyi gestured to the restless crowd to silence them, and then his indifferent voice sounded, and he asked, "So much wood, so heavy, how do we bring it down the mountain?"

Although this question seems very nonsensical.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why he cared about this.

The accelerated speech speed on the other side slowed down in an instant, and he returned to the cold roughness at the beginning, and he actually answered him: "The system has prepared a portable space for each player, and wood that meets the size can be loaded, players don't have to worry."

"Wood that fits the size?" Cheng Hongyi's expression was a little sharper than before, and he even frowned.

He still wants to ask again, but the ugly voice on the other side has already said to himself: "Since someone from your side has summed up the rules of the game in advance, the following rewards are hereby issued: [-]: Adjust the game start time to [-] o'clock in the morning tomorrow. [-] : Answer a question from the participants. The question has been answered, everyone, come on.”

After finishing speaking, the phone was hung up unilaterally by the opposite party again.

Cheng Hongyi threw the phone on the table.

And the people around are almost stupid, so shouldn't this kind of reward be mentioned at the beginning?And they haven't thought about what they want to ask!Even if this is a problem!

Some people looked at Cheng Hongyi complainingly, but for some reason, they became less and less afraid to offend him.

No one dared to blame Cheng Hongyi for being rash, even Lao Diao didn't say anything.

"So... what's going on here?" After a while of silence, Yang Yi asked first.

She was obviously asking Cheng Hongyi, her eyes were bright: "... Is that strange voice rewarding you?"

Cheng Hongyi didn't answer her, but just tugged at Tang Zhi, and asked him, "Have you figured out what's going on?"

Tang Ting thought about it, he ran with the male protagonist all night, and he still had some general ideas, so he said: "That is to say, we will spend three days chopping as much wood as possible in the backyard into this size. Then there will be a portable space to carry these logs with us, and then we will repair the wooden bridge?"

"What the hell..." As soon as Tang Jin finished speaking, Lao Diao's younger brother said impatiently.

But Cheng Hongyi gave him affirmation, he looked slightly relaxed, and said: "Our doubts are all resolved."

Tang Zhi nodded: "Yeah."

Everyone: "???"

"Then what should we do now?" Tang Ting asked.

"Didn't the other party say that the event will start at six o'clock tomorrow morning?" Cheng Hongyi raised the corners of his lips at him, showing a rare smile: "So let's go to bed now."
