Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life
Chapter 790 - 783: Farming Isn’t All Sunshine and Roses
In the ancient times, Lin Wanwan was racing against time to work, and she barely managed to plow over twenty acres of wasteland before dark.
Although the one doing the heavy lifting of reclaiming the land was the multifunctional mini-cultivator, the one she bought was a hand-held type, not a fully automated sit-down one, so she still ended up exhausted.
She had already purchased a high-powered four-wheel drive diesel machine. If it were one of those small, low-horsepower gasoline cultivators, it would be hard to even weed, let alone reclaim wasteland.
For the thick-rooted weeds in this patch, an ordinary hand-held mini-cultivator couldn’t do anything, unable to break the large grasses.
Only this set of high-powered four-wheel drive machines that Lin Wanwan bought at a high price could get the job done.
Nevertheless, its efficiency in reclaiming land was far lower than Lin Wanwan had anticipated.
Before starting the work, Lin Wanwan had boasted that she would finish a hundred acres in a day, but ended up dizzy and only managed twenty acres by the end of the day.
She felt very ashamed for not keeping her promise, realizing that she shouldn’t have spoken too soon.
Yet in the eyes of others, what she accomplished today still seemed like a myth.
After all, a robust bull could plow about two acres a day, and an old or weak one barely one acre.
But Lin Wanwan, appearing as a delicate woman, just wandered around the fields with a magic artifact and managed to open up so much of the weed-infested land.
The words "farming" sound like a tranquil and leisurely affair, but in reality, working "with face to the soil and back to the sky" is no easy task.
Though to the general public, Lin Wanwan, a disciple under Nine Heavens Profound Lady, possessed impressive spells, with her magic artifacts working more efficiently than ten oxen together on the field.
But in fact, only Lin Wanwan herself knew how tiring it really was.
She suddenly longed for a large plowing tractor!
Rumble across the field, now that’s what you call real brute force leveling.
What she was doing now was far from that.
If the Space-Time Gate weren’t so small, she would have long bought one of those large plowing machines, for a life of "boundless joy in farming."
Before it was completely dark, Lin Wanwan handed the multifunctional mini-cultivator and plant protection drone, these two "magic artifacts" for farming, to the villagers who followed her to turn the soil and pick the weeds, and she herself walked back empty-handed.
She had decided to return to modern times to buy more of these machines, then teach the young and strong locals how to control and open up the land together.
Once back in the village, the sacrificial spirit of the Lin family opening over twenty acres of wasteland in one day with magic artifacts spread from the head of the village to the end.
At the foot of the back mountain, people from different nations gathered from ten miles around to build the fort, all heard this news and found it unbelievable.
Each one looked at Lin Wanwan with eyes full of worship and fervor, this was truly a god, truly spiritual! Not like the mud statues!
Lin Wanwan walked through the eyes of the crowd, hands folded behind her back, maintaining her celestial demeanor as a disciple under Nine Heavens Profound Lady, and entered the village chief’s small wooden house, then closed the door and collapsed on the mat.
Too tiring!
Farming is really extraordinarily tiring!
Both exhausting and boring!
Why, when she could clearly lie down and count money, when she could clearly be a salted fish, did she run to an uninhabited island more than fourteen hundred years ago to reclaim wasteland?
She was so tired now she almost had no strength to move a finger. After repeating the day’s work of cutting grass, opening wasteland, and plowing, even thinking felt like a waste of energy.
Whenever Lin Wanwan thought of crossing through time and space back to the modern era, only to land in an empty warehouse instead of a top-floor suite with all the equipment, she grew even lazier to move.
But she couldn’t just stay still, it was hot and she had been busy all day, sweaty all over. In ancient bathing conditions, she couldn’t have a good wash, so she had to return to modern times.
However, crossing back to modern times only meant returning to the little warehouse, and she had to wait for the driver to come pick her up. Just thinking about it made her feel even more tired, how tiresome!
Taking three deep breaths, Lin Wanwan sat up, opened the Space-Time Gate, crossed back to the modern era, then took out the phone placed by the warehouse and sent a message to the hotel butler.
Then Lin Wanwan opened the little warehouse door, took off her sun-protection clothing, moved out a plastic stool from inside, and sat at the entrance enjoying the barely perceptible breeze.
Might as well die of heat!
In such muggy weather, it’s even harder to endure after work.
Lin Wanwan had to stand up again, walked closer to the warehouse, found a cardboard box, tore off a side to use as a fan.
Compared dying of fatigue to dying of heat, dying of heat was more painful.
When it’s cold you can put on clothes, but when it’s hot you can’t peel your skin off.
Luckily, she didn’t wait long before the car arrived to pick her up.
After working the entire daylight in ancient times, barely making do with rice balls for lunch. But over here, in modern times, only two and a half hours had passed; it was only twelve-thirty in the afternoon.
Getting in the car and feeling the air conditioner, Lin Wanwan felt her skin starting to breathe, so comfortable!
Willis Carrier, the father of air conditioning, truly benefited mankind, couldn’t imagine winter and summer without it.
Lin Wanwan was sighing with emotion while watching the rapidly receding street view outside the car window.
The sky was already changing, heavy clouds gathering. It seemed like there was going to be a rainstorm.
By the time Lin Wanwan reached the hotel, the rain was pouring down like buckets, and the weather turned cool abruptly, dropping at least five degrees.
Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but smile wryly. When she was hot in the warehouse, there wasn’t a hint of wind from the heavens. But when she’s back to the hotel ready to enjoy, it cooled down. Playing her for a fool!
"Yes, I see sunshine everywhere, happiness floats above the city..."
The phone rang with a song, and when Lin Wanwan picked it up, it turned out to be her cousin, Su Yanwei, probably already arrived in Lion City.
Answering the call, she said, "Little Wei, you’ve arrived in Lion City?"
"Yeah, Wanwan Sis, I just got to the hotel, where are you?"
Su Yanwei’s cheerful voice came from the phone, with Chen Yan’s excited shouting in the background.
"Wow! Yanwei, we got an executive suite! Wow, we can see the sea view too!"
They seemed to have just entered the room and were very satisfied with Lu Shouyue’s arrangements.
Lin Wanwan laughed, "I’m a bit busy now, you two make your own plans for today, how about we have dinner together tonight?"
"Okay, then you take care."
"Alright, bye, see you tonight."
"Mm, bye, I’ll hang up now."
Just after the call with Su Yanwei, the elevator door opened, and the smiling butler was there to greet her.
Lin Wanwan nodded slightly to her, wasted not a second rushing into the suite, heading straight to the main bedroom’s bathroom for a bath.
She needed a good soak, then a massage, to relax!
Farming was really too tiring!
