Chapter 20 What pet can’t do housework?
Chapter 20 What pet can’t do housework?
”Ah… Another busy day.” Rhodes took a simple cold shower when he got home.
Luckily it’s summer now, and since I have magic power, I feel that my body has become stronger, otherwise I might not get used to it so quickly.
I don’t take a hot shower because I don’t have solar energy equipment, and it’s too troublesome to boil water with firewood.
Rhodes did think about buying a set of equipment that uses magic to boil water, but after asking the price, he decided to hold back and wait until winter is really unbearable.
After helping Worm take a bath, Rhodes began to miss the washing machine in school that could be used once for two coins.
Washing clothes by hand is really slow and troublesome, and there is no mobile phone to watch videos when washing clothes.
At most, he can only use an old-fashioned hand-cranked phonograph to play music.
At first, he was not used to it, but as he listened, Rod suddenly felt that he was very stylish, just like those upper-class people in the movies of the Republic of China.
It’s just that the songs recorded in this record are a bit mixed, pop, rock, classical, everything.
Swish, swish, swish…
The washboard leaned against the basin, and Rod grabbed the wet clothes and rubbed them on it, leaving white foam.
He was not very skilled in using this thing, but he felt that the sound was quite relaxing when he rubbed them to the rhythm of the music.
Worm stared at the bag of detergent curiously, and finally couldn’t help licking it with his big tongue for a long time.
Then its facial features twisted, and it spit out white powder.
“Are you stupid?” Rod knocked on Worm’s head and threw him into the sink, “Rinse your mouth yourself.”
After hanging the washed clothes on the balcony, Rod noticed that there were several pots of green plants on the balcony.
One pot looks like succulent plants, and two pots look like orchids. Because no one has watered them for the past two days, the soil on the surface is dry.
”It seems that there are a few more lives that I need to take care of… Maybe.”
Rod picked up the spray bottle next to him and filled it with water to give these poor plants some sweet rain.
The shower head sprayed out a string of water droplets, wetting the leaves and soaking the soil.
Rod seemed to be able to feel their vitality, and said to himself:
”From now on, you will be called Tatsuya, you will be called Ren Ming, you will be called… Alas, in the other world, dad will have to take care of the three of you.”
Worm looked at his master’s expression and always felt that he was not happy.
”Why do you have that expression?” Rod put down the spray bottle and picked up Worm, “Go, clean the floor you just dirty!”
Worm looked at him in shock. Didn’t he say that he treated me as a pet? He actually asked me to clean the floor?
“Don’t look at me like that. How can a pet not know how to do housework?” Rhodes threw Worm into the laundry room. “You are responsible for cleaning up the dirt you made.”
Worm squatted on the ground and looked at his little paws. How to wipe it? How Worm should wipe the floor is not a problem for Rhodes to consider. Anyway, the little guy can understand human language and is smart. There will always be a way.
Rhodes got angry when he thought of this. Why should Worm, a creature from the Howling Abyss, understand the language here as soon as he arrived? He had to learn it himself?
Why can the language pack sent by Mr. Shibiki be shared? Rhodes sat in front of the desk in the bedroom with indignation and opened the book he brought back from the guild.
This is a history book. Although he is not interested in history, he always feels that it is necessary to understand it.
And in order for him to read well, Leibi lent him a pair of glasses.
Magic props, Feng Yong’s glasses, can allow people to read books at the fastest speed of 32 times.
In other words, if you concentrate on reading for one minute, it is equivalent to reading for half an hour! Rhodes felt that his blessing had come. No matter how much he disliked reading history books, he could always read for a few minutes, right?
However, one minute later…
Pah! The sound of the book spine hitting the table woke up the sleepy Rhodes.
He misjudged one thing. Although the reading time was shortened, there was still the same amount of content to read.
If you are not interested, you are not interested. Even if you have magic props to help you, you will not become a top student when you read history books.
People like Rhodes are suitable for asking Hibiki to use magic to directly instill knowledge.
Or listen to beautiful girls like Leibi telling historical stories. For example, the story of the legendary hunter of Belbarasso and the story of the hero of Ruben Kaludo told today, give him
”Let’s do fifty push-ups to wake up.”
Rod lie on the ground and did thirty push-ups in one breath, and then his arms began to tremble.
’If you want to improve your magic power as soon as possible, in addition to meditation, you should also exercise your body a little, otherwise… you will suffer. ‘
That’s what the president said to Rhode.
However, Rhode always felt that the old man’s words about suffering did not refer to going out to fight, but to fighting in the guild.
Although he himself did not like fighting, judging from the situation in the past few days, he might be affected one day.
Thinking about the girls in the guild who were so strong and powerful, I dare not imagine how heavy Nazgre’s fists were.
Rod gritted his teeth: “To improve magic power!”
One.
”To avoid being beaten!”
Another.
“To be able to fight back when I get beaten!”
Another one.
The reasons for Rhodes’ efforts became more and more strange.
Exercise to improve physical fitness, meditation to improve magic power, and reading to increase cognition are the three most important things for Rhodes at this stage.
The biggest difficulty is reading. Books related to magic are okay, but books on history and geography are really troublesome.
Rhodes decided to ask if there are any newspapers and magazines here tomorrow, just to get a little news.
…
The next day, the weather was a little cloudy, but the sun was not visible, and it didn’t look like it was going to rain.
Rhodes chose a cool way to go to work, riding a canyon swift crab.
The huge dark green crab attracted the attention of neighbors as soon as it appeared, and many people were startled by its weird appearance.
However, when it ran with Rhodes on its back and took the initiative to avoid pedestrians, the little panic disappeared.
“It turned out to be a mount. It looks a bit strange but quite majestic.”
”Hey, is that a crab? Why isn’t it walking sideways?”
”The one on the crab’s back seems to be a wizard from Fairy Tail.”
”Is he a newcomer? He seems to be another restless guy.”
Someone was sharp-eyed and saw the blue emblem on Rhode’s arm when his short sleeves were blown by the wind.
Someone was riding a monster and running wildly on the street. It was so novel.
It was Fairy Tail, so that was not strange.
The emblem on Rhode’s arm was providing him with “convenience” in a strange way, but he himself was unaware of it.
Rhode held the two tentacles of the Swift Crab in both hands, feeling like he was driving a heavy motorcycle.
He only heard a gust of wind and stopped at the door of the guild – less than a kilometer away was still too close.
Rod straightened his hair that was messed up by the wind, thinking to himself that it was lucky that it was automatic, otherwise it might have hit a few people.
This “River Crab” locomotive does not seem safe when running at full speed.
