Rebirth Of Cannon Fodder

15. The laziest craftsman

"So yummy..."

Li Yan eats the foods non stop. His mouth kept on munching tasty foods, sending him straight to heaven.

The Elder smiles while adding more foods into his plate.

He asks, "Do you like it?"

Li Yan nods his head many times. He doesn't even stop eating to reply him.

The meat has been soaked and tendered in spiritual wine. The fragrant smell could even tempt a monk to vanquish his oath not to eat meat.

The Elder says, "After meal, let's craft items together. We shall make few brooms today."

They won't be ordinary brooms. People with lack spiritual power have been using brooms to fly nowadays. Not everyone could afford expensive swords.

Li Yan nods his head reluctantly. Nothing is free in this world. He has to pay for his meals. He is more than willing to work for divine foods like this.

Half an hour later, Li Yan groans loudly. This isn't leisure work. This is torture time. He has given assignment to make 100 brooms today. If he couldn't finish it, there would be no sweet dinner for him. After tasting divine foods, how could he go back to eat bland porridge?

Li Yan grits his teeth and continues his work. He uses his soul force to craft the annoying brooms.

"Just brooms. I could do this."

He makes fifteen brooms lest than two hours. The Elder checks them and he shakes his head. He tosses a broom to him.

The Elder orders, "Try to fly with it."

Li Yan picks up a broom and heads to the courtyard. He puts the broom handle between his two legs and sits on it. He stomps his right foot three times to start the mechanism.

The broom explodes and he got choked with the smokes.

"It isn't working. Try all the brooms you made so far. Failed craft objects shall reduced your points."

Li Yan protests, "You can't do that!"

"Who asked you to slack off? The materials aren't free."

Exploded.

Most of the brooms he made are like explosive bombs. Only one worked. It flies upward instantly to the sky and suddenly run out of power. Li Yan screams loudly when he falls from such a height.

It's lucky he got Feng Nan in his body. The demon takes control and he lands on his feet safely. Just like a cat.

The Elder rubs his beard. This disciple might be a slacker. At least he seems to have some capabilities in martial art. No anyone could land safely like this.

He warns, "Make the brooms properly. Or you won't even eat the porridge."

Li Yan sighs. Life is hard for him. Suddenly he misses the bland porridge too.

He has to make better brooms. He is the one who going to test them later. He doesn't want to make broom bombs or fallen from height again.

Feng Nan won't save him again. Once is enough said the demon.

The Fifth Elder nods his head. This disciple is a talented person. Unfortunately he is super lazy. He won't work if no one forced him.

The old man says, "You earned a decent meal, Li Yan. I'll cook tasty meals tonight. Go have lunch."

"Thank you, Elder."

Li Yan stretches his neck. It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. Hopefully the bland porridge still available. He is starving.
