Chapter 51 - Fast Worker
'What's the cost of us both teleporting?' Ning asked the system.
<Without the distance in consideration, it will cost you 1,560,000 Energy>
'Okay, we must not have a lot of body mass even when combined together, huh,' he thought. He grabbed onto Hyesi's shoulder and ordered the system, 'Teleport to my farm on the other island.'
<Confirmed>
The two of them were suddenly at the farm with no sort of whiplash from the teleport. Hyesi immediately looked around as he got scared from the sudden change in his surrounding.
"Where are we, Inikaka?' he asked.
"It's the next island over that you told me about," Ning answered.
"On… the next island?" Hyesi was shocked. He started looking around to make sure it was in fact the right place. "The trees do look similar to what I remembered, but it has been so long that I can't tell if we really are on the next island," Hyesi said.
Ning ignored the little boy and started to look for some fruits upon the tree. He used telekinesis to pull on down from high up in the tree and washed it with the filtrated water before eating it.
He went on to picking up a few more fruits, eating some, and storing some. After drinking some water, it was time to farm.
"Hyesi, come over here," he said calling Hyesi towards the place he had left his Hoe and Shovel. He took the hoe and gave the shovel to Hyesi.
Hyesi looked at the shovel like it was the first time he was seeing it. 'Sh*t. It just might be,' Ning thought.
"Do you know what this is?" he asked. Hyesi looked at it for a bit longer and said, "A shovel?"
"Oh, so you do know what it is. Then why were you staring at it as if you've never seen it before?" Ning asked.
"Lord Inikaka, I have seen shovels before, yes. But, I have never seen one with this type of… rock," Hyesi said.
"Rock? No, it's not a rock, It's a metal," Ning replied. 'Oh god, I forgot these primitive people don't know what metal is. That will be a bit more troublesome to explain. Hopefully, I won't have to.'
Ning had to. Hyesi kept asking questions so he proceeded to explain exactly what metal was with what he could remember from his studies back on earth. He didn't bother buying knowledge on metals as he felt them be a waste of time.
"Alright, since you know what a shovel is, I expect you to know how to use one as well. Go and dig a hole just like this one," he said pointing to the hole he had dug for the filtrated water in the field.
"Yes, Inikaka," Hyesi said and went to the points Ning had assigned him to dig a hole in. In the meantime, Ning decided to make the field even more farm-like by clearing out the weeds and digging a proper pathway that was left behind by his telekinesis digging.
About fifteen minutes into clearing the pathways, he was interrupted by Hyesi. He turned around to ask, "What is it?"
"I finished with digging the hole," Hyesi said.
"That was quite fast. Well then proceed to the rest two," Ning said and turned around to continue his task when Hyesi spoke again, "I finished all 3, Inikaka."
This put a pause on Ning's works. "What did you say?" he turned around to look at the 3 different piles of dirt that had been dug out from the ground, each one higher than the one he had dug up.
'Holy Sh*t. Just how strong is this kid. He didn't even take 5 minutes to make a hole,' he thought. 'I need to check.'
Ning looked for a relatively clear area and said, "Dig one over there too."
Hyesi went back to grab the shovel and proceeded to walk over to the place where Ning had pointed to. Without hesitation, he struck the ground with the shovel, almost like a knife cutting through a cake.
Almost like a robot, he started to throw the dirt behind him and dig. Dig, throw dirt behind, dig, throw dirt behind. He did this for a little over 4 minutes and the hole was ready. This hole was bigger than the one he made as well.
'This body cultivation thing is no joke. I thought it was lesser than normal Qi cultivation since they could use any techniques. However, if you can do this with just your body, what need is there for flashy techniques?' he thought.
'Although, the best would be a combination of both. Flying around at a very fast speed and punching really hard, just like Su***man. I should learn it too,' he thought.
He was about to ask for the technique, but soon realized how awkward it would be if he had to ask a technique that made him stronger using himself according to the villagers. 'I need to change my approach,' he thought.
"Come over here," he called Hyesi. "Tell me about your Sun God's Morning Cleansing Technique. Who taught it to you?" he asked.
Hyesi got confused for a second and asked, "What is this Sun God's … uh technique?" he asked.
Ning was surprised. "You don't know the name of the technique you practice every morning?" he asked.
"Oh, so our morning training has a name? I didn't know, Inikaka. I had always just followed what the elderly did," he said.
"So you weren't properly taught?" he asked.
"No, Inikaka."
'That's a problem. Do I have to go find the chief now?' he wondered.
"Wait, who knows about this the most?" he asked.
Hyesi thought for a second and replied, "Maybe the elderly since they have been practicing this dance for the longest. Although, I am pretty sure they learned it the same way from their ancestors as well."
'This is getting way too convoluted. It doesn't look like anyone in the village can teach it in a perfect method. Sigh, I might just have to buy the perfect version from the shop.'
