Because of his young age, his senior and junior brothers took care of him. Xiaolong usually had nothing to do. After practicing martial arts, he began to play Xiaopi's game console. Then, he arranged for the three of them to chop trees and firewood, climb the mountain to fetch water, and pick up stones with long chopsticks.
"Hey, do you see the water tank in the backyard? It's enough for today."
In the backyard, the little dragon pointed at the big water tank in the courtyard that was as thick as three people hugging each other. Then, he lowered his head and began to play games.
"Oh, I know." You Chen and Pi Shaoting agreed. They picked up the carrying pole and bucket and walked towards the front door.
Speaking of which, perhaps because it was the front door, the road at the front door was relatively smooth and easy to walk on.
"Oh, right. In order to avoid being seen by the other disciples, you have to go to the back mountain.”
" Uh…" You Chen and Pi Shaoting looked at the potholes in the back of the mountain, and the winding path with one foot deep and one foot shallow. They couldn't help but have the urge to scream.
However, You Chen suddenly felt a little happy.
'Beep, Master Xiaolong has assigned you a daily mission: Get some water.
'Complete the water fetching mission. Reward: Strength 1, Agility 0.8, Stamina 1 '
Daily mission?
Did that mean that there would still be such a mission tomorrow?
If he were to stay here for two weeks, his strength, agility, and stamina would increase every day... Wouldn't he directly reach the same level as the Dragon?
However, You Chen knew that he was overthinking things.
It was obvious from the mission reward. Because his Dexterity was high, he was only given 0.8. Therefore, the training effect would definitely become weaker and weaker in the future.
……
Carrying water was a compulsory course for every Shaolin monk, without exception.
Firstly, it was to train his muscles and bones to strengthen his body. Secondly, it was because…even monks had to drink water!
Ah, why not dig a well on the mountain?
Idiot, digging wells on the mountain is expensive!
However, the Shaolin monks used buckets with sharp bottoms to fetch water. They did not use carrying poles and carried them directly with their hands. They wanted to get more water and prevent them from slacking off. The little dragon considered that You Chen and the other man's muscles and bones had already been fixed, so he allowed them to use the carrying pole to reduce the force.
Even so, it also made You Chen and the other man want to die.
In fact, the water source of Shaolin Temple was not far away. If they walked through the main entrance, it would take them a mile.
However, the problem was that You Chen and the other guy had taken the back door, so they had to go around in a big circle. Moreover, the back door was on a rugged mountain road. Although there were steps paved, thinking about it, even monks were in a slump. How good could these steps be?
Moreover, this path was so steep…
Other than Spirit and Agility, all of You Chen's attributes were slightly lower than a human's. In his own words, he was half crippled…
When they reached the river, You Chen filled the bucket with water, lifted the pole, and placed it on his shoulder…You Chen's expression changed, and he almost fell to the ground.
" Ah Chen, are you alright?" Pi Shaoting hurriedly held You Chen.
"I'm fine…"
He picked up the pole and spat out two words to Pi Shaoting.
Pi Shaoting did not mind You Chen's insistence. He picked up the pole and walked to the top of the mountain.
As the saying went, it was easy to go down the mountain but difficult to go up the mountain. On the steep mountain path, You Chen felt that every step he took was rather difficult. The stairs that didn't look very high before seemed to have become much higher now. Coupled with the weight and bucket on his body, every step he took a considerable amount of physical strength.
Halfway up, You Chen felt his entire body ache. It was as if his bones were about to fall apart. Just a slight touch would cause a heart-wrenching pain.
However, when You Chen turned around and saw Pi Shaoting who was still persevering, coupled with the generous mission reward, he held back on the spot. He gritted his teeth, straightened his shoulders, and continued climbing.
It only took about half an hour to descend the mountain. It took two hours to climb up the mountain!
He staggered along the way and fell down a few times. When the two brothers poured the little water in the bucket into the big tank, they sat on the ground and panted heavily.
At this moment, You Chen felt his body heat up, and a moving voice suddenly rang in his ears.
'Beep, completed side quest fetching water. Strength 0.1 Agility 0.1 Stamina 0.1 '
Afterward, You Chen seemed to believe in Brother Spring and resurrected with full health…
" So there's a side quest…" You Chen shook his hands and confirmed that his stamina had recovered. After confirming that his body was fine, he stood up, picked up the carrying pole and bucket, and walked down the mountain.
"Tsk, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you rest for a while?"
The exhausted Pi Shaoting looked at You Chen, who was no match for him just now, and his eyes widened as if he had been injected with chicken blood. However, he really did not want to move, so he could not help but wail.
Unfortunately, he had forgotten that there was a little dragon beside him.
" Tsk, you can't even beat someone younger than you, so why are you still learning martial arts…"
Xiaolong, who was playing games with Shrimpy, casually teased him.
Pi Shaoting's temper could not withstand provocation. Without a word, he picked up the bucket and ran down the mountain.
The content was still the same, but this time, You Chen had some thoughts. Therefore, whenever he could not hold on any longer, he would look up to see how far he was, cheer himself up, and tell himself that he could relax after pouring the water from the bucket into the water tank.
Then, You Chen would feel full of energy.
The first round trip took two and a half hours, but this time, it only took two hours and twenty-five minutes. Not only that, but the remaining water in the bucket had also increased. There was still half of it left. It was many times stronger than the last time when there was only water left at the bottom of the bucket!
When he poured the water from the bucket into the water tank for the second time, You Chen heard a moving system notification.
'Beep, completed side quest fetching water. Strength 0.1 Agility 0.1 Stamina 0.1 '
After that, he used all his stamina and revived with full health. He picked up the shoulder pole and went down the mountain…
The third round of climbing up and down the mountain only took two hours and twenty minutes. It wasn't just because his attributes had increased, but also because he had gotten used to the condition of this road. Most importantly, he finally brought two buckets of water up.
Xiaolong sat at the side and played games, feeling a little puzzled.
At first, when he looked at the two of them, he felt that You Chen was much more useless than Pi Shaoting. Other than the fact that he was not sick, he was completely sick.
However, when he was fetching water, You Chen's speed of recovery was frighteningly fast. He had been as tired as a dead dog just now, but after pouring the water into the water tank, he had actually revived with full health, as if he had not done anything just now. If it wasn't for the fact that Little Dragon was sure that You Chen had never practiced martial arts, he would have kicked You Chen out of Shaolin Temple long ago.
On the other hand, Pi Shaoting was completely like a normal person. Every time he fetched water, he was as tired as a dead dog. You Chen had picked six or seven times, and he had only made two trips back and forth.
A water tank that was as thick as three people's arms would need about fifteen to sixteen buckets of water. You Chen had made eight trips alone and fetched about 14 or 15 barrels. The rest was almost spilled on the road. Pi Shaoting had also made three trips, but he had only brought up half a bucket…The water had been spilled halfway…
The difference in time wasn't only because You Chen had improved so quickly, but also because Pi Shaoting had slowed down. Adding the two together, the gap was revealed.
As for Xiaopi, how could you expect such a little brat to practice martial arts honestly? You're thinking too much. You should just be a game coach for Xiaolong...
