Chapter 159: The Dumpling ’Rapper’ VS System no. 27 (1)

Siri opened the window to let the shining rays of the two suns enter and cast a light inside the room. She could feel the warm temperature creeping on her skin, drawing out moisture.

Li Chunhua’s heart skipped a bit, and she hurriedly checked the weather forecast.

[Drought, 49 degrees Celsius]

∑(O_O;)

Wasn’t it supposed to be a typhoon?

"Sir Elf, we can’t go out and fetch more water. The heat outside was scorching, and it melted the heels of our shoes." One of the young shirtless young men belonging to Meng Chu’s group saw Siri by the window when he was passing by to bathe the livestock with water. He took one of his shoes off, showing Siri the proof.

Siri hurriedly went out. The man wished Li Chunhua a good morning before carrying a barrel over his shoulder.

Li Chunhua jumped from the bed, and her eyes followed him until he stopped on one of the pens. He splashed the water inside, and the pheasant shook its feathers, lifted its beak, and cooed.

’Two-legged creature, bring me another bucket! If not, could you make a pond where I could swim?’

Its other livestock colleagues heard its request and backed it up.

"Moo Moo." (Yes, a very big one!)

"Meh." (I heard from those other two-legged creatures that they have a place called sauna and an ice ring where they could skate all day. I want that one too!)

"Oink." (I want mud made of ice where I can roll around all day! The landowner is so stingy!)

The crocs heard them, propped on the fences of the pen, and bleated. "Meh." (Hey, there is something called seniority. We are the first to come here! Fall in line, you disrespectful juniors!)

"Moo, Meh, Oink, Croo." (Oh right, sorry seniors!) The other livestock obediently lay on their pen, practicing the inner zen of inner cooling. But no matter how they did it, the temperature was still unbearable. The livestock stuck out their tongues, panting from the heat!

Water! Water! Water delivery boys! Come quickly; I can’t hold much longer!

It’s so hot!

Li Chunhua couldn’t understand them and attributed their singing to complaints about the hot weather. She also noticed their HP bars had been reduced by a quarter.

She checked the time [8:35] and frowned. If this continues, the livestock will die ahead of their schedules.

What can she do?

Water...Water...

The noises of moos, mehs, croos, and oinks blended into one melody, and she was struck by an inspiration. Her eyes sparkled. "I got it!"

Oh, I still have that!

The livestock: [・ヘ・?] What is this landowner doing?

"...Water Curtain." Li Chunhua finished chanting.

After a second, the sky rumbled with thunder and rain drizzled down.

The livestock: Σ(●ꉺ▱ꉺ●) Nima! That’s so cool!

However, the rain only lasted for ten seconds.

[Drought, 49 Degree Celsius]

Li Chunhua: (°ー°〃) She’s in trouble.

The livestock : (°ー°〃) Ahhhh...it’s so hot! (;*´Д`)ﾉ Water Delivery boys come back!

In the next moment, Li Chunhua started her rapping performance startling her audience.

----

The main system sent its command to the system in charge of Li Chunhua’s mountain, called Number 27.

[Command Accepted...]

[Initializing Procedures...]

[Rebooting Weather...]

The tropic cyclone changed course and didn’t land on the coast line. The rain and wind weakened with the dark clouds slowly dispersing, and by 8:30 in the morning, the entire sky was clear with the two suns hanging and shining brightly.

The temperature continued to rise with each passing minute, drying up all the water left by the rain.

The ozone layer above weakened continuously until it could no longer provide protection from UV rays.

Mosquitos and insects like locusts emerged and surrounded their territories, making them unable to gather water in the last moment.

It was a total reversal that no one expected.

[Weather Forecast: Drought, 49 degrees Celsius.]

The players on Newbie Mountain didn’t have any cellars and had collected cold gear, firewood, and ropes. With the sudden change, they clamored towards the trade market, buying heat-relieving patches and water.

But they were already late; it was already swept clean. There are billions of players, and the supply cannot keep up with the demands.

Could it be that they’ll die here?

The players’ knees dropped on the ground, weakened by de-buffs, along with their natives, who felt they were about to lose this early.

Just when they thought hope was gone, they saw clouds darkened and rain pour.

[Weather Forecast: Moderate Rain, 25 Degrees Celsius.]

"We’re saved!" They jumped in joy, staring at the rain.

However, after a minute, the rain disappeared, and the sun reappeared.

[Weather Forecast: Drought, 48 degrees Celsius.]

"We’re doomed." They dropped back on the ground.

However, the rain appeared again after another minute.

[Weather Forecast: Moderate Rain, 25 Degrees Celsius.]

"Thank Heavens!" They rejoiced once more, but it was brief because the sun came back and said hello. They cried.

But it seems as if someone was playing with their emotions; for the next ten minutes, the weather continuously changed, confused with its true identity.

[Drought]

[Moderate Rain]

[Drought]

What’s going on? Is this system malfunctioning?

The players didn’t know what to do and sat on the ground. They had the urge to scream, "Are you a drought or rain? Just pick already!"

----

There were not the only ones who were in a state of confusion. Siri and the others, who had done their best to find ways to combat the heat and protect the crops and livestock, were also staring at this moment in the sky.

Long Haoran was among them, making sun shades for the crops. As he saw the abnormal weather phenomenon, he stopped and wiped the sweat forming on his forehead before opening the interface showing the weather.

[Drought]

[Rain]

[Drought]

[Rain]

The weather forecast changed every minute. Somehow, whenever a weird thing happened, his mind thought of someone first, and before he knew it, his feet were walking on their own.

Meanwhile, on the window facing the pens, Li Chunhua was becoming more and more proficient in rapping.

"Basic Dharma Water Spell come forth, cleanse the earth, and purify the lands: Water Curtain."

Li Chunhua panted because, for the last ten minutes, her mouth didn’t stop chanting. Her only regret was that she should have searched for a one-word version of the chant. Now, she couldn’t take a happy-fat water or snack break in between.

The worst part is she didn’t even have her breakfast yet. o(TヘTo)

She couldn’t stop because the moment she did, the livestock would be sticking their tounges out and displayed a look as if they were dying.

Long Haoran had just arrived at the main residence and stepped into the hallway when he could hear someone speaking extremely fast.

He traced the source of the noise and was led to the gang leader’s bedroom. He opened the door and made a small gap to sneak a glance inside.

Li Chunhua was so focused on her chanting that she didn’t notice someone was looking at her.

"Basic Dharma Water Spell come forth, cleanse the earth, and purify the lands: Water Curtain."

There were sounds of rumbling thunder.

(°ー°〃)

This gang leader must have been a hermit or a shaman in the previous world.

"I’m tired," Li Chunhua mumbled in the middle.

Long Haoran overheard it. She must have spend too much mana. He wanted to come over, but his feet stayed rooted.

So instead, he closed the door as quietly as possible and entered the kitchen.

[Dumpling Duke]: Do you have some ice left? Me...need them.

[Great Romantic Sage]: Wait, hold on. Here. Are you okay? Did something happen? Didn’t you say it was raining at your mountain? Why do you need ice for?

[You’ve received a unit of crushed ice...+10]

[Dumpling Duke]: Long story

Long Zurui didn’t keep his brother further because he felt something must have happened. Instead he turned to the Global Chat and finally found out what it was.

[Sun Emperor]: I’m from Mountain no. 27. The heck is happening! It was raining half an hour ago and now it’s so hot!

Long Zurui was anxious and quickly sent the remaining ice to his brother.

[You’ve received a unit of crushed ice...+40]

Long Haoran halted when he additional units of ice. The corner of his lips raised and he sent them back before switching to the Trade Market.

[Dumpling Duke]: Buying tea leaves.

After he posted this, he received a lot of offers.

[I seek enlightenment]: I have premium tea leaves, but the price is expensive.

Si took pictures of the packs of premium tea leaves he had.

Long Haoran saw the appearance of the tea leaves. Although the labels in the packs were named differently, the appearance of the dried tea leaves resembled Yellow Tea (Hwangcha), Tieguanyin, and Pu-erh. They looked newly produced which made Long Haoran satisfied.

[Dumpling Duke]: Me...want them all.

Li Jingnan was behind, and when he saw the other side didn’t ask how much the tea leaves were, he told Si the price.

Si heard it and questioned his leader because it seemed too much.

Li Jingnan replied, "He’s that player who killed the hidden boss on the first day. The price will be nothing to him."
