The barren planet.
Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment before finally moving the pot into the house. She thought for a moment, then took out a piece of material from her spatial storage and forcefully shaped it into a hoe.
"What is she doing?"
"So strange, what can this thing be used for?"
On the barrage screen, netizens were also commenting, expressing their confusion about Lu Wanqing's actions.
"Mommy, what are you doing?" Little Mu Lan also looked confused. He squatted beside his mother and asked curiously.
Lu Wanqing stopped, took a deep breath, looked up at the barrage, and saw many people asking the same question. She then turned to Little Mu Lan and explained, "Mommy is making a hoe."
"A hoe?"
Little Mu Lan looked bewildered, staring at the material his mother was working on.
Lu Wanqing also looked at the material, took a deep breath, and continued her work.
The piece of steel she was working with was originally meant for making mechs, a very precious material. Using it to make a hoe was a bit of a waste, but there was no other way now.
The viewers in the livestream room soon became confused again, and many new messages began to flood the screen.
"What is a hoe?"
"I looked it up! A hoe is an agricultural tool from ancient Earth, used for digging soil!"
"Yes, I looked it up too. Ahhh, Goddess is so amazing, it feels like she knows everything!"
Lu Wanqing didn't have time to pay attention to the lively barrage. She endured the heartache and painstakingly ground the material. After a long time, she finally sharpened one side of the steel.
Mu Lan watched intently, wanting to remember every detail of his mother making the tool.
Lu Wanqing flipped the hoe over, carefully recalling its shape in her mind, and soon remembered it. She continued forging.
Zhong Li Feiyu also watched her forge with concentration. Lu Wanqing's actions seemed to have a magical quality, making it impossible to look away.
In fact, crafting a good hoe was not easy. However, the technology of the interstellar era was too advanced, offering not only grinding tools but also compression tools. With her familiarity with the tools, Lu Wanqing, after some effort, finally crafted the tool.
Rumble!
A sudden clap of thunder boomed from outside!
Inside the bamboo house, all three were startled. Lu Wanqing, holding the newly made hoe, looked up at the sky outside.
Accompanied by the thunder was a strong wind. They were in the forest, and the wind howled loudly, shaking the surrounding trees violently.
The next moment, a torrential downpour began, pelting the bamboo house.
Lu Wanqing hurried to close the door, but the rain was already slanting in.
After closing the bamboo house door, it became much safer inside, with less rain pouring in.
The sky outside had also turned dark. It was too late for them to go out and work now.
"Let's rest for now. We'll deal with other things tomorrow," Zhong Li Feiyu said.
He had just looked up the usage of a hoe and found it to be quite strenuous. After the hoe was made, they would still have to work hard to dig ditches, and this process would definitely not be completed in a short time, especially with the lightning and heavy rain outside.
Lu Wanqing felt a little worried, but she also knew it was impossible to go out now, and she certainly couldn't dig the drainage ditch in a short period. She would have to wait until tomorrow.
"Okay," Lu Wanqing agreed.
After agreeing, she suddenly didn't know what to do. Staying in the house, she couldn't think of anything to occupy herself.
Lu Wanqing looked at Zhong Li Feiyu, then lowered her gaze to Mu Lan. After a long hesitation, she couldn't help but ask, "Want to play cards?"
"What cards?" Mu Lan immediately inquired, curious about everything his mother said.
Lu Wanqing coughed slightly and then said, "It's a game from ancient Earth called Dou Dizhu. It's perfect for three people, and it's very fun!"
As she spoke, Lu Wanqing took out the cards.
She had made this set of cards herself when she was bored at the Mu family's place before. Taking them out now felt a little embarrassing, but considering there were no other suitable entertainment activities, playing them seemed okay.
"How do you play?" Zhong Li Feiyu asked.
Mentioning Dou Dizhu, Lu Wanqing's eyes lit up. She immediately pulled Mu Lan and Zhong Li Feiyu closer and earnestly explained the rules.
After explaining three times, Lu Wanqing felt a little dry-mouthed and said, "How about we try a few rounds? We'll understand better after playing more."
"Okay, okay!" Little Mu Lan agreed immediately. He liked everything his mommy said.
Zhong Li Feiyu thought seriously for a moment and then nodded, "Alright."
So, the three of them began to play Dou Dizhu in the bamboo house. However, because Zhong Li Feiyu and Little Mu Lan were not familiar with the rules, the game was a bit bumpy. Lu Wanqing had to correct their mistakes from time to time.
While they played cards in the bamboo house, over a billion netizens in the livestream room were stunned, including Mu Sijie, Gai Zeveyer, and others.
Everyone had become accustomed to Lu Wanqing's diligence and hard work in surviving on the barren planet with Little Mu Lan for the past few days. This sudden card game…
Someone quickly searched for card games from ancient Earth, especially Dou Dizhu. Upon their return, the barrage screen instantly exploded with "666"!"
"Dou Dizhu is a very popular game from ancient Earth. I heard it's really fun!"
"I just searched and found that in ancient Earth times, there seemed to be many such games, like 'Happy Dou Dizhu' and 'Joyful Dou Dizhu'. These games seemed very popular back then!"
The novelty of games popular among ancient Earth humans over three thousand years ago attracted a lot of attention. Many netizens began to send rewards to the livestream, with dazzling reward effects.
Mu Lan no longer had the energy to pay attention to the barrage. He was the slowest to learn the rules of the card game among the three. As a child, his learning ability was not comparable to Zhong Li Feiyu's. He made mistakes from time to time, and his mother kept correcting him, but he was trying his best to learn.
However, Mu Lan was having fun. He found the game very special, a game from his mommy's era, very different from games in the interstellar era.
Zhong Li Feiyu adapted faster than Mu Lan. After playing a few rounds, he grasped the rules. It seemed like a simple game, but it was quite interesting.
In the dark night, they played for a long time until they felt sleepy. Lu Wanqing then put away the cards, closed the livestream, and took Little Mu Lan to another room to sleep.
"Mommy, Dou Dizhu is so fun! Did you used to play it when you were on ancient Earth?" Before sleeping, Little Mu Lan, nestled in his mommy's arms, looked up at her with bright, curious eyes and asked.
"Yes, I did," Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded.
"I like it too!" Little Mu Lan immediately said.
Lu Wanqing gently stroked her child's head and reminded him, "You can play it occasionally when you're bored, but when you need to study, work, or do other important things, you can't play. Don't get addicted to games."
"Okay, okay!" Mu Lan promised.
