After being destroyed by Ruotu and Osel, and restored by the embers, Qingxupu has now become a wide plain.
New buds and trees are growing vigorously here, looking full of vitality.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
On the green open space, the young man was moving forward quickly, waving a shovel that left a shadow.
Behind him was an extremely wide new river channel.
The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm that was about to cramp and took a deep breath.
When did it become like this? The young master pondered. Yes, it was when Keqing showed him the design of the new dam.
Osel carved out a new river channel across the vast plain.
After the investigation, Qixing realized that the new Qingxupu was a good place to grow crops, so they designed a new dam to facilitate irrigation.
Before building the dam, the water from the river needs to be diverted. After a long survey, Keqing finally found low-lying areas on both sides of the river.
The low-lying land was large enough to carry the flow of the river for several months. This time was enough for Liyue, who possessed elemental power and alchemy, to build a brand new dam.
Therefore, the burden of building the water diversion channel naturally fell on the shoulders of Liyue’s two excellent "land tillers".
The river on the left is under the responsibility of the young master, as for the one on the right...
The young man looked at the other side of the river that separated him. The soil there was flying, as if something was digging rapidly in the soil.
In the brown-black soil, you can vaguely see a mushroom-shaped head swaying up and down - that is a soldier who has taken off his hat.
"Brother! I brought you some delicious food!" In the distance, a boy wearing a woolen hat and a clothing style that was out of place in Liyue ran over.
Behind him, there were Ying and Paimon.
"Tok, slow down!" The young master saw his brother running towards him from afar and shouted loudly.
When thinking of this restless brother, the young master felt a headache. He could actually hide in a cargo ship and run from Zhidong to Liyue!!!
When the young master learned the news from Qixing, his first reaction was that Qixing had kidnapped Tok from Zhidong specifically in order to monitor and warn him.
However, after seeing the contemptuous looks from Keqing and Ningguang and Tok's own explanation, Childe finally accepted the fact that Tok had run to Liyue on his own.
Then Keqing added an extra circle on the design drawing, saying that there were important ancient relics in the middle of the original drainage channel, which needed to be bypassed for protection.
Seeing this, Gongzi could only endure it. Originally, he had the idea of escaping, but now Tok had come to Liyue, giving Qixing a good assist.
Now he, Tartaglia, can't escape.
Looking at the little expert who was running towards him with excitement, the young master looked helpless. What could he say? When he was a child, he could run faster than Tok, and he ran directly into the crack of the abyss.
"Brother, look, this is the Liyue delicacy recommended to me by Sister Paimon. You should try it." Tok said as he opened the lunch box.
A fragrance hit me in the face, and it was obvious that this was real food and not some prank.
"Hurry up and finish eating, 'enthusiastic' Mr. Young Master." Ying and Paimon saw the young master's miserable appearance covered in mud, and they almost laughed out loud while lying on the ground.
It was fate that made him deceive himself! Not only did he deceive, he also stalked her; not only did he stalk, he also fought with her, and when he couldn't win the fight, he got angry.
Live it!
Ying and Paimeng felt relieved when they saw the young master wolfing down his food. In fact, Paimeng thought that this punishment was too light.
The young master and the scattered soldiers should be allowed to take charge of the entire dam project!
Anyway, these two are both capable of doing a hundred or a thousand things at once, so they are probably about the same when it comes to doing the work.
However, the Seven Stars are obviously not so careless. Liyue would never dare to let the Fatui interfere with water conservancy facilities such as the dam.
If the fools did something, the damage caused would probably be no worse than this time.
"How is it, brother? Is it delicious?" Tok asked impatiently when he saw the young master devouring the food in no time.
"Delicious! I am full of strength now!" The young man shouted, stepped on the ground, and the shovel flew up and then fell into his hands.
"So handsome!" Tok clapped his hands, his eyes shining.
"There are even cooler ones!" Seeing Tok so excited, the young master also wanted to show off. He activated his God's Eye, and the water element gathered on the shovel.
Then a bigger shovel appeared in the young man's hand. As for its function... of course it can dig the soil faster!
So, under the scorching sun and cheers, the young man started a new work again.
……
"Hmm? No friends?"
In the drainage channel opposite the young master, Mongget looked at the distant scattered soldiers and said lightly.
"It's just a core overload, just take a break." The soldier raised his arm and poured out the dirt between his joints. White overheated exhaust gas continued to spew out of his body.
"Besides, friends are something only the weak need." The soldier added as he sorted the mud off his body.
"You are destined to have no friends." Mongget did not comment on Sanbing's words. He felt that Sanbing had no friends simply because he was foul-mouthed and arrogant.
For such people, you should beat them once. If one beating doesn’t work, beat them twice. After beating them enough, they will be almost cured.
But Mongget was too lazy to do it, because he was afraid that this guy had a foul mouth and if he pissed him off, the puppet might fall apart if he used too much force.
"Hmph! Thank you for the compliment." Sanbing sneered, then began to activate his evil eye.
"call--"
But just as he was about to continue opening the river channel, he heard a whistling sound from the sky.
Looking up, they saw several bright blue flames flashing in the sky, causing the soldiers to stop what they were doing.
"What? Want to go?" Mungette looked up and then stopped paying attention. It was just a shooting star. Not to mention seeing it, he had even hit it before.
The stars in the border area are alive, even the meteors are alive. When the border area is turbulent, malicious meteors will take the opportunity to enter.
As the former king of Rodel, he had dealt with many fallen star beasts and the like.
"Of course, the reason I came to Liyue is this meteor." Sanbing looked around. The arrival of the meteor obviously made him a little restless.
"Om-"
A golden light that was more brilliant than the tail flame of a meteor emerged. When it faded away, the scattered soldiers suddenly saw that Mungert was carrying a golden sledgehammer on his shoulder.
"You can try." Mongert gently placed the giant hammer on the ground, and the ground immediately cracked.
"..."
After a brief silence, the two rivers became busy again.

Chapter 334 True Sleeping Meteor
On an ordinary and normal day, Yu Jin was walking on the road.
Wandering around the streets of Chihuyan, Yujin saw the Adventurer's Guild's commission board filled with people in the distance.
"Make way! Let me have a look first!" Yu Jin saw this and didn't hesitate to push through the crowd and squeeze in.
Liyue's adventurers usually owe Yu Jin a lot of favors. Many of them have their daily commissions completed by Yu Jin.
Daily commissions are an initiative taken by the Adventurer's Guild to help adventurers live a better life.
Generally speaking, the association will entrust some odd jobs to specific individuals based on each person's abilities.
If you complete all the tasks, you can not only receive the normal rewards, but also receive extra rewards. It doesn't matter if you don't complete them. Daily commissions are not mandatory. Every adventurer can decide whether to do it based on their own situation.
Because of this, the Adventurers' Guild has become a multinational organization that is on par with Teyvat and the Treasure Thieves - mainly in terms of personnel distribution.
Treasure hunting groups and adventurers are to humans as plants are to mint and monsters are to the hillbillies. The same principle can be found everywhere.
"The seniors are here, this is a new group commission issued by the association." Seeing Yu Jin walking away, Zhi Qiong took the initiative to make way.
While she was mapping, she was often thrown into the air by embers. Although the process was painful, it really helped her get her work done.
"Group commission?" Yu Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at the commission board. It was the first time he heard of such a term.
While Yu Jin was researching, Catherine came out from the counter. Next to her was Sister Lan, the president of the Liyue branch.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Catherine shouted a few words.
Then the adventurers who were eager to try quieted down. Catherine's words were more effective than Sister Lan's.
Because Catherine speaks softly, while Sister Lan only drags people together to find some [sword].
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Catherine nodded and continued, "Did everyone see the meteor a while ago?"
"It's so beautiful! Meteorite."
"Shooting star, this is the first time I've seen one."
"Surprised? It's just a small stone!"
Yu Jin saw that everyone was excited and felt that they were too narrow-minded.
He had seen the meteor before, and he saw it in more detail. It was just a few small pieces, and they would probably burn up before they hit the ground.
"You have a lot of experience, but they don't. We can't generalize." Lan smiled helplessly when he saw Yu Jin's complaining look.
Ember is the most mysterious and powerful adventurer Lan has ever seen. He can complete any commission.
Unfortunately, he just didn't want to go with me to find the [Sword]. If he was willing, it would probably be easy to find it.
Whenever Lan and Yu Jin brought up this matter, Yu Jin refused.
Mainly because of the condition she proposed - nominating Yu Jin as the branch president. Isn't this just an eye-opener for him? So Yu Jin decisively refused to do it.
Catherine, who was standing by, nodded in agreement. She sorted out her thoughts and said to the crowd below, which had quieted down again:
"A few days ago, a very strange meteor fell on the border between Mondstadt and Liyue. Recently, a report came in saying that many people have fallen into a deep sleep since the meteorite fell."
"Yujingtai suspects that it has something to do with those meteorites. Considering Liyue's recent manpower issues, they specifically commissioned us to investigate."
Liyue is indeed short of manpower recently, as most of the Thousand Winds Army are looking after the Fatui card "mining machines".
After Ruota woke up, he not only worked as a guest official in the Wangsheng Hall for his retirement, but he was also a special consultant to the Huishan Hall, which is in charge of the mining industry among the Seven Stars and Eight Gates.
With Ruo Tuo here, Liyue's mineral exploration volume increased significantly. With so many minerals to be mined, Liyue's miners were insufficient.
and so……
