"Alright, you rest here, I'll go look for some rabbits." Lu Ping said to Zi Mu after eating a few sour fruits.
Zi Mu could only smile bitterly. He was really useless, he had to be taken care of by Lu Ping all the time. When he thought of this, he forcefully bit the fruit in his hand, using the sourness to punish himself. But other than that, he really couldn't do anything else. Looking at Lu Ping's back disappearing into the forest, Zi Mu stared blankly at the only rabbit in the rabbit pen.
After Lu Ping went back and forth a few times, the rabbit pen became lively. Zi Mu's physical strength had recovered a little, but his soul power was still empty. In this state, it was like an ordinary person wanting to catch a rabbit alive was still a little difficult. Zi Mu could only continue to guard the pen. When he saw the number of rabbits increasing, he also realized that just keeping the rabbits in the pen was not enough to solve the problem once and for all.
Although the pen was still covered with grass, when the number of rabbits increased, they would quickly be eaten up by them. They needed to replenish the rabbits' food supply. Apart from that, the water source was even more of a problem. The wild grass in the pen could at least provide a little supply, but there was no water source at all. Zi Mu walked around in a circle, but didn't find any water source nearby.
When Lu Ping brought back a few rabbits, Zi Mu mentioned this problem. As expected, Lu Ping also realized that he had to take care of these rabbits for a month, so this problem had to be solved.
"Seems like we still need to build some water troughs to store water." Lu Ping pondered.
"Also, this fence also needs to be strengthened." Zi Mu said worriedly, "I discovered that some of the rabbits here are really quite strong. Currently, this fence is barely able to stop them."
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded. Every single one of these rabbits was caught by him personally. And when he searched for the rabbits, he couldn't help but use his most sensitive soul. He couldn't help but feel a little bit of soul power from the bodies of the rabbits.
"Some of them have powerful souls." Lu Ping said.
"As expected of the North Style Academy … …" Zi Mu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"You go catch your rabbits, leave these to me!" Zi Mu patted his chest.
"Is that okay?" Lu Ping expressed his doubts. "Your Spirit of Strength …" As Lu Ping spoke, he searched the circle and pointed at one of the gray rabbits. "It doesn't even seem to be as good as that gray rabbit."
"At least I'm still human." Zi Mu blushed. If this was some ferocious bird or beast with a bit of strength, then he would directly kneel. It was just a little rabbit, it wouldn't be much of a threat even if it had some strength. He wasn't even inferior to a fence.
"I'll leave it to you then." Lu Ping nodded. Then he left.
Zi Mu rolled up his sleeves and started to work. Fixing gutters and strengthening fences. In short, they continued to perfect the construction of their rabbit enclosure. Being able to help out made Zi Mu feel very fulfilled. However, at the same time, he was at a loss. Why did he join the North Style Academy?
The day passed quickly. The longer it was, the longer it took for Lu Ping to go out and come back. It was clear that he was running further and further away. Zi Mu labored like an ordinary person. He would rest when he was tired, and continue when he had the strength. The gutters were starting to take shape, and the fences were strengthened to a certain extent. They also discovered the possibility of rabbits digging holes to escape. Naturally, they took precautions.
When the sky turned dark, the two of them didn't ask where they were going to spend the night. They simply set up a bonfire next to the rabbit enclosure. The rabbits were close at hand, but they definitely didn't dare to roast them to eat. Lu Ping caught a few birds and returned. This was confirmed by the Alkaid Peak students he met before. They weren't raised by Ruan Qingzhu or someone from Alkaid Peak.
"It seems like it's not too difficult!" Zi Mu was satisfied with this fruitful day's work.
"2,677." Lu Ping recorded the number of rabbits he had caught that day.
"I hope more rabbits will come to our area tomorrow." Zi Mu looked forward to it from the bottom of his heart.
"I hope so." Lu Ping naturally didn't mind saving time.
The night passed just like that. At daybreak the next day, Lu Ping set off in high spirits. Zi Mu didn't want to fall behind. He also got up and continued to maintain the rabbit enclosure.
The number of rabbits continued to increase, and the rabbit enclosure continued to be improved. One day, two days, three days passed. The number of rabbits in the rabbit enclosure had reached seven thousand one hundred and seventy-one. The number of rabbits caught each day was decreasing. It was obvious that the rabbits on Alkaid Peak were constantly being gathered by the two of them into their rabbit enclosure.
Early in the morning, Lu Ping set off at daybreak as usual. After three days of hard work, Lu Ping already had a lot of experience catching rabbits. These rabbits weren't like him and Zi Mu, who slept in the forest all day. Most of them had nests. In these three days, Lu Ping caught many rabbits from their nests at once. Right now, he was wondering if he should sneak into the rabbit's nest at night if his harvest during the day wasn't ideal. Suddenly, he heard someone shout, "Over here!"
Hm?
After catching rabbits for three days, Lu Ping had a conditioned reflex. When he heard this shout, he subconsciously thought there were rabbits and immediately looked towards the source of the sound. In the end, he saw Jiang He and Ding Feng staring at him angrily. It was as if Lu Ping had found a rabbit. With a few leaps, he had already arrived in front of him.
"Where the hell have you been for the past three days!" Ding Feng sternly berated.
"Counting rabbits." Lu Ping said.
"Counting rabbits?" Ding Feng coldly laughed, "Then tell me, how many did you count?"
"Seven thousand one hundred and seventy-one." Lu Ping said.
Ding Feng was stunned. Lu Ping's number came out of his mouth so easily. It didn't seem like he was making it up. However, she didn't believe him and coldly laughed, "Do you think I'll believe you just because you say so?"
"You can count!" Lu Ping said.
"Hahaha, little brat, you're still pretending? There are clearly a total of six thousand nine thousand and seventeen rabbits on Alkaid Peak. What's with the extra two hundred and fifty-four rabbits? Did you conjure them? "Jiang He coldly laughed.
Ding Feng was a little impressed with her senior. He clearly didn't know how many rabbits there were on the mountain. However, the number that came out of his mouth was so smooth and confident. This Lu Ping, wasn't he going to show his fear?
The two looked at Lu Ping proudly. They hadn't seen Lu Ping and Zi Mu for the past three days. This made the two really angry. These two new people were so daring. After receiving the task, they actually disappeared without a trace? They didn't even report for three days? The two had no choice but to come out and look for them. In the end, they found them quite quickly. This person called Lu Ping was as slippery as Jiang He had expected. He came up with a random number. Did he think that they definitely didn't know how many rabbits there were on the mountain?
Hmph, we don't know, but do you think you do?
Jiang He used trickery against trickery. He didn't believe that Lu Ping wouldn't show his fear.
Sure enough, when Lu Ping heard Jiang He blurt out the number and doubt, he was stunned. The two were proud of themselves. However, they saw Lu Ping shake his head and say: "You didn't count correctly."
"Hahaha, little brat, are you still stubbornly putting up a front?" When Jiang He saw that Lu Ping still wanted to deny it, he was so angry that he laughed.
Lu Ping still shook his head and said: "Even if I did count incorrectly, I shouldn't have made such a big mistake. I think we should go and check together."
Check?
Jiang He and Ding Feng were stunned. This little brat, what was he planning?
Did he want to tie us up and go count rabbits? Jiang He quickly guessed this. Ding Feng, who was at the side, saw that Lu Ping was about to turn and leave. She hurriedly called out: "Where are you going?"
"To count rabbits!" Lu Ping said.
"Where?" The two were puzzled.
"Our rabbit pen." Lu Ping said.
