Chapter 18: God's Eye is Here
Harold blew the tea while sipping it in small sips. If you taste it carefully, you will find that this tea does have the effect of moistening the throat and dispelling cold.
After drinking a cup of tea, Harold felt a little drier. The humidity from the rainforest at night and the sweat stains from days of traveling were immediately dried up.
Nasrin nodded with satisfaction. When she saw him finish his tea, she stood up and packed her things. "Congratulations again, Harold! You have passed the test of the rainforest. Now we can be sure that you will not catch a cold tonight. Go to bed early. I have to take a shift with someone else tonight. I will go back and take a nap first. If you need anything, please find Brother Amir, the one talking to the dog over there."
Harold looked in the direction Nasrin said, and saw a young man surrounded by a dozen dogs. He was squatting face to face with a Border Collie, seemingly listening to the dogs' barking.
Harold thanked Nasrin and lay down on the haystack in his clothes. There was no musty smell on the quilt, and it was obvious that someone was responsible for cleaning it.
Harold patted the quilt, dusted it off, then lay down on his side and closed his eyes. As soon as he relaxed, his calf muscles began to ache again.
Harold was so tired that he fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down. He felt his calves swollen in a daze and curled up his legs unconsciously, which made him feel a little better.
Perhaps because he had been walking all day, Haroldt slept very soundly and had a long dream.
In the dream, he successfully got the land and started to hoe. After hoeing only two hundred meters, he felt severe pain in his legs, sore waist, and his arms were too heavy to lift. In short, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Harold stood on the edge of the field, holding a hoe, looking at the bare land, his heart filled with despair.
Why should I farm?
I really want to display it.
Is there no method in this world that can allow me to finish hoeing the fields in a flash?
...
There is no such good thing in the world.
Although he was complaining about being tired, Haroldt still swung the hoe and hit the field hard. After swinging the hoe for an unknown amount of time, Haroldt finally saw another guardrail he had pulled.
I'm done! I'm done!
Harold screamed in his heart, and then a sharp pain came over him.
"Hiss... It hurts..." Haroldt sat up and covered his ankle. He looked around blankly and did not come to his senses for a while.
...Where am I?
Where is the land I hoe? !
...
Oh, by the way, I was in Huachengguo, and I just fell asleep.
Harold rubbed his leg, which was cramped and numb and painful.
After rubbing for a few minutes, feeling his legs gradually regaining sensation, Harold slowly stood up.
"Clap."
A crisp sound broke the silence in the tent.
"what?"
Harold looked down alertly and saw a pendant-like object emitting a faint golden light falling on the pile of straw where he had just slept.
Did I bring a pendant?
...No.
Harold bent down puzzledly and picked it up.
After seeing the appearance of the thing clearly, Haroldt's doubts were instantly replaced by shock.
Is this the Eye of God?!
Is it mine?
Harold looked around and didn't see anyone else, so he held the golden, gem-like Eye of God in the palm of his hand and felt its breath with his heart.
Sure enough, when he wanted to resonate with it, the light of the Eye of God in his hand became brighter.
It really is his Eye of God.
Harold's heart was filled with joy, and he looked over and over again at the Eye of God that suddenly appeared for a long time.
This is a rock-attributed divine eye, which was completely beyond his expectations. He thought that with his hair color he would be transformed into a noble water man.
Even if he is not a water man, given his current geographical location, he should have a grass-attributed God's Eye like Kavi and Elhaisen. I didn't expect that his God's Eye would be of rock attribute.
Was it because he had been thinking last night that it would be great if there was an easy way to hoe the ground?
Thinking about it carefully, with the rock-attributed God's Eye, he could indeed hoe the ground without any pressure. As long as he activated the rock elemental power, he could complete tasks such as digging holes and loosening the soil without any effort.
Wonderful!
My favorite is the Eye of the Rock Elemental.
The rock attribute is the best attribute. From now on, I will be angry with anyone who says that the rock attribute is orphan rock!
Harold happily put the Eye of God into his pocket. He had no place on his body to hang any ornaments, and his green student uniform of the Oratory Academy did not match the golden Eye of God.
Just put it in your pocket for now. After returning to Xumi City, think about whether to put a chain on your clothes, or buy yourself a pendant or bracelet to hang the Eye of God on.
Harold walked out of the tent and stretched in the sunshine of the rainforest. The air in the rainforest was very refreshing in the morning. No wonder the people of Blue Star in the previous life wanted to make the rainforest the lungs of the earth.
Harold found a tree with drooping branches and opposite oval leaves, and plucked a handful of leaves from the branch.
According to the knowledge of Teyvat biology he had recently learned, this tree was a specialty of Sumeru and was called prickly jasmine in Sumeru. It looked similar to the "toothbrush tree" he knew in his previous life. It also contained a large amount of soap and peppermint oil inside, and could be used as soap or a toothbrush.
Harold whittled the branches into small pieces and put them in his mouth.
The fibers at the top of the wood chips quickly spread out, forming soft bristles similar to those of a toothbrush.
Harold brushed his teeth carefully with the "toothbrush", then walked to the river with a handful of leaves.
He was so tired last night that he was able to fall asleep on the ground, but after waking up, he soon felt discomfort on his back, and the smell of sweat and dirt was unbearable for him.
Even though he knew that he would leave the rain forest after he had settled the land issue with the residents of Huachengguo today, and that he would have to walk for several hours on the mountain road, and that taking a shower now would be almost the same as not taking a shower, he still could not accept communicating with others with a sour smell on his body.
The newly acquired Eye of God soon came into play. Harold raised his hand, and a three-meter-high and ten-centimeter-wide rock wall fell on the river bank with a loud bang.
It didn't hit the target.
Harold was very pleased with his accuracy.
Unexpectedly, he was so adept at using elemental power through the Eye of God the first time. It was just as the person who obtained the Eye of God said: When it appears by your side, you will naturally know how to use it.
"Bang, bang, bang."
There were three more loud noises, and after that, a square bathing place built with rock walls appeared out of nowhere on the stream that flowed through the top of Huachengguo Mountain.
Harold took off his clothes in the "bathhouse" he built, walked slowly into the stream, and let the stream water cover his waist.
Harold scooped up a handful of clean water and washed his face. The cool water flowed down his face, washing away the sweat and stains. Harold couldn't help but let out a low, comfortable sigh.
After washing his face, he held his breath and dived into the water, swam one meter in the water, then poked his head out from the bottom of the water and shook his hair vigorously.
Harold casually pulled up the thorny jasmine branch that he had placed on the shore, plucked off a branch and leaves, crushed them, and rubbed them on his hair.
Jasmine contains soap, which can be used to remove grease. Harold washed his hair, wrung it out, and then washed all his clothes.
After washing his whole body and clothes carefully, Harold came out of the water wearing only a pair of wet shorts.
He removed the rock wall and used stone pillars to enclose a larger area. He also used rock elements to build a simple stove and a bracket. Building such a small thing is much more difficult than building an entire wall. The smaller the object, the more it tests the eyesight and control of the user of the Rock Element God's Eye.
It took Harold ten tries before he managed to build a usable stove.
He couldn't place the objects where he wanted, and this feeling reminded him of a puzzle in Liyue in his previous life's game that required him to smash a pillar against the wall.
It took him a full half hour to finally complete the challenge. After solving the code, he was so disgusted that he didn't play the game for two days. In the end, the regret for the remaining half month's monthly card and the fact that he hadn't drawn enough lives for Brother Hai made him return to Mihoyo.
After making the stove, Haroldt mobilized the rock elements to condense three rock spears, two of which were inserted into the ground, and another was placed horizontally as a clothesline.
With his previous experience, the rock spear he made this time had an accurate shape and a straight shaft, unlike the twisted one in the stove he built.
After hanging up all the wet clothes, Harold started a fire in the stove. The fire-making skills he learned from Naslin yesterday came in handy immediately, and he quickly got the fire lit.
The bricks and stones pressing down on the stove suppressed the spread of the fire and prevented the clothes hanging on the clothes rail from being burned.
Harold stretched out his hands to warm the fire with satisfaction. The warm firelight made the water drops on his body and clothes dry quickly.
