I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 69 Automatic Mixer

Press the start button again, and the machine will immediately stop slowly. In just a few dozen seconds, the fully automatic machine has already blended the stone fruit and water that were just added into a paste, which shows how powerful the machine is.

Seeing Lezhi's eyes light up, Lezhong reached out and touched Lezhi's head. "Do you like it? It's yours."

Unable to utter a word of refusal, Lezhi looked at Lezhong with bright eyes and said, "Thank you, Lezhong."

"Wow, this is awesome, Lezhi! This blender is amazing!" Leyou clapped excitedly to celebrate Lezhi's success, as if he were the one who had gotten the first fully automatic blender.

"Oh, right, here are some accessories. As you mentioned before, besides those for mixing liquids/solids, there are also meat grinders and dry powder grinders. I also made a few of these smaller ones. Just replace them according to your needs. ... Okay, if you have any questions later, feel free to come to me."

Le Zhong explained how to use the fully automatic mixer to Le Zhi, and only felt relieved after seeing that Le Zhi clearly understood how to use the machine.

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Le Zhong." Le Zhi thanked him again, clearly pleased with the gift. "By the way, about the energy source of this thing..."

“Oh, I was just about to tell you this,” Le Zhong said, scratching his head and crossing his arms. “As I said, it was the Thunder Clan that gave me the inspiration. I interacted with them when they came to the clan before, and it was only when I saw them that I remembered that the Thunder Clan actually doesn’t lack energy.”

As Le Zhong spoke, he reached down and removed a hidden cover from the bottom of the machine, gesturing for Le Zhi to see, "Look, this is the energy source. This thing is called calcium carbide. There is a place in the Thunder Clan called Purple Cloud Ridge, which is constantly experiencing thunderstorms and is a forbidden area for all living beings. Only the Thunder Clan can enter. Those guys use it as a training ground, using the thunderstorms from the sky to temper themselves."

With a hint of awe in his tone, Le Zhong returned to the main topic, "Because of these special conditions, plants cannot survive in Zixiao Ridge, but it is rich in calcium carbide. Only the Thunder Clan can harvest it without getting hurt. However, since no irreplaceable use for that stuff was discovered before, it was only regarded as a symbol."

Shrugging, Le Zhong chuckled at his own earlier thoughts. "Later, when I heard you mention the energy issue, I thought of calcium carbide. Luckily, the man in the black cloak carried one with him, and I specially exchanged them to study. I discovered that this thing can indeed be used as an energy source, although it needs to undergo some processing."

"But that's my secret. The important thing is that this thing is powered by calcium carbide. If you want to use it, you might have to find a way to stockpile some calcium carbide. But don't worry, once I recover, I'll make a special trip to the Thunder Clan to bring you some. I'll also take the opportunity to do some more research. Anyway, this one piece will last a long time, so you can use it for now." Patting Le Zhi's shoulder, Le Zhong generously put his arm around him as well.

Despite his confident demeanor, Le Zhong himself was somewhat uncertain. After all, the Thunder Clan was known for its high combat strength, and in the past, when the entire clan gathered, they were all rather serious and aloof, not easy to deal with. He didn't know if he could successfully obtain the electric stone from the Thunder Clan.

"Ah, this..." Le Zhi smiled awkwardly, unsure of what to say. She secretly exchanged a glance with Le You behind Le Zhong, trying to ask for help.

Receiving a look from Lezhi, Leyou rolled his eyes, but could not resist Lezhi's pleading, so he could only help explain, "Uncle Lezhong, if it's calcium carbide, then you don't need to worry about it. No one needs that stuff, but Lezhi will never be short of it."

On the contrary, Leyou suspected that if the Thunder Clan knew that Lezhi wanted calcium carbide, they would probably send him a whole bunch overnight, enough to fill his house.

Hearing Le You's explanation, Le Zhong looked at Le Zhi suspiciously, "What's going on? What, what does the Thunder Clan have to do with Le Zhi? Did you owe them a favor?"

"Of course, we owe him a huge favor, so much so that he's moved into Lezhi's house." Leyou casually revealed the news, completely disregarding whether Lezhong could handle it.

"what?"

Le Zhong's roar was like a giant bell ringing in his ears, instantly causing Le Zhi to experience tinnitus. He raised his hand to cover his ears and rubbed them before hesitantly speaking.

"There's a reason for all of that..."

Helplessly, Le Zhi explained the whole story to Le Zhong, feeling guilty as if her parents had caught her dating too early.

In fact, it wasn't just Lezhi who felt this way; Lezhong felt the same way. For the past two weeks, Lezhi and Leyou, these two little rascals, had come to visit every day without fail, cooking for him and calling him to eat on time. To this "lonely old man," it was just like raising two little rascals. But before the rascals were even fully grown, an outsider was eyeing them covetously, wanting to snatch them away. No one could tolerate that.

Gritting his teeth secretly, Le Zhong decided to meet the scheming Lei Xiu when he had the chance. "Alright, since that's how it is, I won't say anything more. You know how to do it. If you want anything later, just come to me. As long as I'm here, you won't lack any metal or stone tools, understand?"

"Oh, that won't do." Hearing Le Zhong's words, Le Zhi quickly refused, "You've already given me a blender for free as a token of your gratitude, how can I possibly take more..."

"Hiss, you little brat." Le Zhong raised his hand and pressed down on Le Zhi's head. He always felt that Le Zhi didn't live like a cub at all. What cub doesn't eat when given food and play when given toys? Only Le Zhi thinks about how to repay. Thinking about how Le Zhi was born in the forest, Le Zhong thought that experience created Le Zhi's somewhat cautious personality, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

"You saved my life, you know. Is my life only worth this blender? It's just making something for you, it's nothing to me." Seeing that Lezhi hesitated, Lezhong put down his hand and continued, "Besides, you're the one who came up with the idea for this thing. If anyone wants to exchange it for supplies later, you'll get a share. We'll talk about that later."

"Right now, as a cub and your savior, you can't refuse my gratitude. That Thunder Clan member must have given you a lot too."

Caught off guard by Le Zhong's accurate guess, Le Zhi widened her eyes slightly, unsure how to refute him.

"Hmph, that's why. It's absolutely unacceptable for one of our own to be outdone by an outsider. I even think they're not giving us enough!"

“That’s right, that’s right.” Leyou popped out from behind Lezhong and chimed in, “Lezhi, don’t be coy. If you don’t accept it, Lezhong will feel even worse.”

Seeing the identical encouraging looks in Le Zhong and Le You's eyes, Le Zhi finally smiled happily, and the constraints she had placed on herself loosened a little. "Alright, I agree."

As Lezhi finished speaking, Leyou cheered and Lezhong laughed, a rare sound from him. Because of Leyou's outstanding performance, Lezhong gave Leyou the prototype manual mixer, and the promised stone slab was not just one, but one for Lezhi and one for Leyou.

Seeing the two little ones' surprised expressions, Le Zhong snorted irritably, "What, in your hearts, do you think I, Le Zhong, am the kind of person who would exploit cubs for labor?"
