Chapter 62 Merit Energy
As the dispute over high-yielding grains gradually came to an end, the lives of the Yu siblings slowly returned to peace.
More than half a year has passed since they traveled to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are all concerned about the collection of merit energy.
That night, the siblings entered the space under the moonlight, preparing to check out the latest progress with White Wolf and plan their future careers as appropriate.
Different from the late night when the outside world is completely silent and the first snow falls, the merit space has always been in a pleasant state with spring-like weather all year round and bright sunshine.
As far as the eye can see, hundreds of acres of spiritual fields are planted with all kinds of grains, fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs. Several mountains in the distance are lush and green, and various animals shuttle between them from time to time, hunting and playing. There are also countless animals swimming in the lakes below the mountains.
Freshwater and marine life, planting and breeding robots are busy traveling between fields and warehouses, managing and harvesting the accelerated growth of animals and plants.
The merit tree located in the center of the space stands tall and tall. Many spiritual fruits of different colors hang happily on the branches, exuding a refreshing fruit fragrance. There are shining lights around the tree, which is both gorgeous and mysterious.
The spiritual spring not far under the tree is slowly surging with water, and the transparent jasper bricks surround the blue spring water. In the dense water vapor, there seems to be a golden brilliance slowly flowing.
The Chinese-style villa a hundred steps away from the merit tree is gorgeously decorated and fully functional. The performance of various furniture and appliances is even more advanced than modern products.
There is also a merit square behind the villa. Around the square are a treasure pavilion, a gym, a weapons depot, a puppet house, a library, a forging chamber, a gene bank, a medical hospital, a universal factory, and eight classified warehouses.
A transparent glass sphere with a diameter of one hundred meters hangs high at the top of the space. Except for a shallow layer of golden energy, the rest of its interior is empty.
This is the merit energy ball that supports the movement of the entire space. It is as important as the sun in this small world.
"The current merit energy has accumulated nine thousandths, which can support the normal operation of the space for eight years. The progress is good, and I am gratified."
After carefully observing the induction, Bai Lang came to a conclusion, his calm voice filled with a bit of joy and satisfaction.
The Yu siblings are a little disappointed. After working hard for more than half a year, their energy has only reached 9%. According to this progress, when will the merits be completed?
It seems that the efforts they have made these days are not enough.
"Do you really have to stay here for the rest of your life?"
Yu Hongxuan frowned and calculated the account. If progress continues at such a steady pace, it will probably take decades to complete the great cause of success and virtue. Then when we return to modern times, won't everyone become a gray-haired old man? By then,
Are relatives and friends still alive?
Wouldn't you work so hard for most of your life, only to have nothing in the end?
"When we traveled back in time, we were burned by the power of time and space and were reduced to a sixteen-year-old appearance. So when we return to modern times, can we also go back to a younger age? Or, at least, go back to the time before we traveled through time.
?”
Yu Hongxuan asked seriously, he must confirm this matter first.
Bai Lang thought about it in silence for a long time, and finally nodded to confirm his guess.
"As long as your merits are perfect, the merit tree will naturally satisfy all your wishes."
After hearing this, the siblings breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and most of their original anxiety and pressure disappeared. As long as they steadily completed the accumulation of virtue energy, they would be able to return to modern times in their lifetime.
As soon as he felt relaxed, Yu Hongxuan couldn't help but joke again.
"In this case, sister, you and Song Xi can actually stay here as husband and wife for the rest of your life. As long as you take him away with you before you die, you might be able to return to modern times and renew your relationship in the future."
"The Merit Tree allows us to bring people from other worlds back to modern times?"
Yu Yalan looked at Bai Lang with a puzzled look on her face, feeling a bit expectant in her heart.
The white wolf just looked back at her with raised eyebrows, noncommittal, and smiled without answering.
All questions will be answered by then, so why reveal the answer so quickly?
Although she didn't get a clear answer, Yu Yalan had some hope in her heart. Maybe they wouldn't have to face a painful separation, and maybe they would one day grow old together...
She quietly suppressed the delusions in her heart. For now, she still had to be down-to-earth to complete the space mission first, and the rest would be discussed later.
…
It was the end of the year, and the Yu siblings began to prepare for winter and going to Beijing.
First, year-end benefits must be paid to the long-term workers and servants of the Yu family.
In addition to the fixed monthly salary, each long-term worker received an additional red envelope of three taels of silver, fifty catties of rice, fifty catties of potatoes, two winter coats, and a basket of fruits and vegetables produced in space.
Roast chicken and five pounds of bacon.
The servants of the Yu family also have the same benefits. The shopkeepers and waiters who are responsible for running the shops also receive additional sales bonuses, which is enough for everyone to live a fulfilling and happy New Year.
The long-term workers and servants who received the generous benefits were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly. Even other Xianping people who knew the news felt extremely envious and came to ask if the Yu family would recruit new people in the coming year.
The siblings mostly laughed and brushed it off, saying that if they expanded their business in the coming year, it wouldn't be too late to talk about recruiting new people.
They still don’t know what they will encounter at the royal annual banquet they are about to attend at the end of the year, and they are not sure whether they will have a stable life next year, so naturally they will not make casual promises about future arrangements.
In early December, the wind was biting and the snow was drifting thousands of miles away.
After sorting out the household chores, the Yu siblings took the eight puppets and followed Song Xi to the capital in a carriage.
Since they had plenty of time, they stopped and stopped along the way, and from time to time they would help some poor people they met by chance.
As long as the soul identification bracelet shows that the character is the same, they are willing to lend a helping hand.
To the sick and injured, give them free medicine and good medicine; to the poor, give them good livelihood prescriptions.
Sometimes, we also listen to the voices of various people, whether they are complaining, complaining, talking, laughing, or making introductions. The group is willing to listen attentively and understand the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the needs of all sentient beings.
As we go north, the weather becomes drier and colder. It is said that the heavy snow in December should fall very frequently, but this year's snow amount seems a bit thin.
"There won't be a drought next year, right...?"
Yu Yalan looked at the clear winter sky and then glanced at the snow on the roadside. She felt that the amount of snow was much less than she had imagined.
It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. I wonder if the amount of snow at the end of the year also indicates the climate next year?
"It is indeed much less than in previous years."
Song Xi frowned and observed, feeling a little worried.
If there is a drought next year, I'm afraid we have to start preparing to deal with it now.
"Let's see again. If it's still like this after the New Year, arrangements for water and grain storage will have to be put on the agenda."
