When Xuan Wei returned to the divine embassy and pushed open the door, he saw the black crow lying on the wicker basket, drunk.
The wine jar beside him was empty.
This guy had drunk an entire jar of wine!
Xuan Wei picked up the drunk crow. “From the looks of it, you won’t be able to go back today.”
The crow opened his mouth and belched. The smell of alcohol filled the air.
Xuan Wei despised his sloppy appearance and threw him into a basin of water.
Suddenly submerged in cold water, the crow immediately woke up from its drunken state. It flapped its wings and shouted, “Xuan Wei, you actually threw me into the water. You’re too much!”
Xuan Wei glanced at him, then picked up a stone slab and pressed it against the opening of the basin of water.
“Don’t think about coming out until you’re clean.”
The crow’s roar came through the stone slab, and it was filled with anger. “When I come out, I’ll kill you!”
…
After a discussion, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling decided to strengthen the fortress’s defense and build a wall around it. This would include the vegetable fields, orchards, and terraced mountains.
This way, they could prevent outsiders from invading to a certain extent and ensure the safety of their tribesmen.
This was a very big project. It required a lot of manpower and resources.
However, the army sent by the temple was already on the way. They did not have much time left. They had to work overtime.
At the same time, Huanhuan was also practicing alchemy hard, trying to advance to intermediate alchemy as soon as possible.
The advancement of alchemy required a lot of experimentation. The experimentation might cause an explosion. In order to avoid anything happening at home, Huanhuan specially ran to the medical area on the 13th floor and found a relatively remote empty room to use as her temporary laboratory.
Huanhuan carefully placed the materials into the crucible.
After putting it down, she couldn’t help but feel suspicious again. “Did I put it in the wrong order just now?”
The system thought back. “I don’t think so…”

“I’d feel more at ease if you could remove the last word.”
The system snorted. “My memory is only so big. I can only remember so much. You can’t count on me for everything!”
Huanhuan despised him very much. “If you can’t even do this, what’s the point of having you?!”
“You actually despise your father? You unfilial daughter!”
Huanhuan closed the latch and ran out of the room. She closed the door and prayed silently, “Don’t blow me up.”
There was a loud bang, and the crucible exploded again.
Huanhuan: “…”
She pushed open the door and walked in. She sighed gloomily at the mess on the floor.
The system added bluntly, “The rate of your experiments exploding on you is too high. I don’t think you even need the formula for explosives. You can make a bag of explosives just by doing something.”
“A trashy system that can’t even remember the order of materials has no right to despise me.”
“Is it my fault that my memory is small? I want a bigger memory too, but the Lord didn’t bestow it to me. I feel wronged!”
Huanhuan chatted casually with the system as she cleaned up the house. “Is the Lord your superior?”
“That’s right.”
“Did he ask you to choose me?”
“Yes… No! You actually tricked me?” The system was furious. “Where’s the trust between humans and systems?!”
Huanhuan sighed inwardly. It was a pity. She had almost gotten something out of him.
She propped the crucible back onto the stove. “I just want to know the truth. If you’re unwilling to tell me, then forget it.”
The system muttered unhappily, “Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and didn’t fall for your trap. If you really get the truth out of me, it’ll be equivalent to me breaking the rules of confidentiality. I’ll be punished later.”
Huanhuan compared the formula in the introductory alchemy manual and threw the materials into the crucible. She asked casually, “What kind of punishment? Candles, handcuffs, or a small whip?”
“I’m a pure little system. Don’t teach me such vile things.”
Huanhuan chuckled. “If you’re pure, how did I get here?”
“Can’t the system reproduce on its own?!”
Huanhuan pretended to be surprised. “You even know how to reproduce yourself? It seems that your small memory is used to store these strange things. That’s why you can’t even remember the order of the materials.”
“Who said I can’t remember? You mixed up the order of the flowing water stones and mountain mustard!”
Huanhuan shouted anxiously, “Damn, why didn’t you say so just now?!”

She hurriedly picked up the crucible and placed it on the ground. The contents had already boiled into a pot of black paste. The smell was extremely unpleasant.
Sigh, another failure.
Huanhuan quickly emptied the crucible. After washing it, she started another round of experiments.
The system snorted. “Who asked you to despise me for having small memory? You deserve it!”
“I’ve realized that your mind is smaller than your memory.”
“…” ‘Don’t make me punch your chest with my little fists!’
After repeated experiments, Huanhuan finally successfully refined a translucent solid that was similar to silicone. It was soft and smooth to the touch. She could make all kinds of strange shapes with it.
Since it was pink, it had a very flashy name—Little Pink.
Huanhuan debated with herself whether she could utter such a shameful name.
She pinched Little Pink here and there. “What’s this for?” she asked.
The system said, “It’s not in the manual?”
Huanhuan opened the manual and read the contents word by word. “As long as you soak Little Pink in water, you can grow many, many Little Pinks. Isn’t it cute?”
The system said, “It’s indeed very cute!”
Huanhuan’s face was cold. “I don’t want to know how cute Little Pink is. I just want to know what this thing is for.”
“Well, as I recall, when Little Pinkie is dried, it becomes very strong. It might make a good shield or something.”
Huanhuan’s heart skipped a beat. “No, I think it’s more suitable as city walls.”
The system sent an emoji with a black question mark on its face.
Huanhuan carried Little Pink and quickly ran downstairs to look for Shuang Yun.
At this moment, the wall had been built. It was as tall as four people. It surrounded the rock mountain, the vegetable field, the orchard, the terraced mountain, and the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain. At a glance, it looked like a long dragon with its head and tail touching each other. It was quite a spectacular sight.
Huanhuan soaked Little Pink in the water. After Little Pink drank enough water, it became much bigger.
Under Huanhuan’s instructions, Shuang Yun plucked a small pink ball and smeared it on the newly built wall. He spread it evenly.
There was plenty of sun today. It didn’t take long for the little pink spots on the walls to dry.
It left a pink coating on the surface of the wall. It looked like a coat of paint.
Huanhuan was filled with anticipation. “Come, let’s test its sturdiness.”
Shuang Yun flashed his claws and grabbed at the wall!
The claws drew sparks on the wall, but the wall was unmarked.
