"Okay, Ayue, what kind of job have you taken on this time?" Yu Tianlu, who knew Yan Yue's thoughts well, said straight to the point.

"It's Xiaolu after all. Why did you know it before I even opened my mouth?" Yan Yue smiled sheepishly.

"This is the only thing that comes and goes. Are you going to help transport goods this time? Or are you helping someone save a cat?"

Yan Yue's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and Aunt Yan is also worrying about living expenses all day long. The sensible Yan Yue often finds ways to work part-time to supplement his family income.

Because Yan Yue is tall, he doesn't look like a six or seven-year-old child at first glance. Moreover, Yan Yue is very powerful and works hard, so they are happy to ask Yan Yue to help them.

At this time, Yan Yue would often pull Yu Tianlu to help him complete the work. If not for anything else, it was because of Yu Tianlu's brilliant mind. When work encounters difficulties and reaches a bottleneck, Yu Tianlu can always come up with very unique methods to solve the problem.

"Xiao Lu's job this time is relatively simple, just helping people sweep fallen leaves in their yards."

"Is it really that simple?" Yu Tianlu looked at Yan Yue doubtfully.

"Is it that simple? Why did I lie to you?"

But when they arrived at the scene, Yu Tianlu was instantly dumbfounded.

"You call this sweeping fallen leaves?" Yu Tianlu looked at the courtyard the size of a football field and the fallen leaves all over the garden, with a dark look on his face.

"When I received the job, the client just mentioned a small yard casually. I didn't expect it to be so big!" Yan Yue also said helplessly.

"Ayue, who is this client?"

"It seems to be Ma Zhenbei's housekeeper."

"Ma Zhenbei? Is this the richest man in our town, Ma Zhenbei?"

"Yes, that's him." Yan Yue nodded vigorously.

"Okay! They have several houses, and each one is huge. This yard is really a small yard in their eyes." Yu Tianlu frowned when he looked at the fallen leaves in such a large area, "Such a huge project, If two ordinary people do it together, they won't be able to finish it in two days!"

"What should I do?"

"What should I do? Just do it slowly!"

"Do it slowly?" Yan Yue showed a panicked expression, "I promised their housekeeper to do it all before this evening! Otherwise, he won't pay me."

"Ah? How could you agree without understanding the situation?" Yu Tianlu couldn't help complaining.

"They all blame me. I was attracted by the salary he offered. I didn't understand the difficulty of the job, so I just took it rashly. What should I do next?"

"What's the price he offered?"

"There are ten gold coins!"

"Ten coins? After all, Ma Zhenbei, a housekeeper can be so wealthy." Yu Tianlu was also impressed, "But I remember that the housekeeper's nickname was 'Iron Rooster'. I guess he was sure that you wouldn't be able to finish so much work." , that’s why we offered such a high price.”

"Then what should I do?" Yan Yue said in embarrassment, "I ate too hard a few days ago and ate all the rice at home. My mother is really worried!"

"What should we do? Of course we have to get the ten gold coins." Yu Tianlu's eyes were also shining with golden light, "Isn't it just sweeping the fallen leaves? Don't worry, I'm sure you can get ten gold coins before evening."

"Xiao Lu, do you have any ideas?"

Yan Yue, who was familiar with Yu Tianlu's temperament, knew that his good brother was already confident when he saw Yu Tianlu's eyes glowing.

"As the saying goes: 'If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.' Although the task in front of me seems to be impossible, I have the ability to turn decay into magic."

"Xiao Lu, what are you talking about! I can't understand a word!"

"It's okay if you don't understand. I learned these in that world."

"That world? Are you planning to change into something good again?" Yan Yue also looked forward to it.

"Why can't you use your brain a little bit?" Yu Tianlu also sighed.

"Haha, Xiaolu, how come your statement is the same as what my mother said!"

Seeing that his friend had given up treatment, Yu Tianlu was helpless.

"Don't blink!" Yu Tianlu said and immediately closed his eyes.

Under Yan Yue's gaze, Yu Tianlu's whole body also glowed with a different kind of brilliance. At that moment, the entire courtyard was silent, and the space seemed to fluctuate, but to ordinary people, there was no change.

Yan Yue opened his eyes wide and looked behind Yu Tianlu in surprise.

I saw a huge, strange thing like a blower slowly emerging.

"It's done!" After Yu Tianlu said that, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, he felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

"Xiao Lu, you are so awesome! You actually used the 'power of elephant' to create such an advanced machine out of thin air!" Yan Yue was overjoyed when he looked at this machine.

"Seeing that you are so happy, do you know what this thing is?" Yu Tianlu said quietly.

"Well... I don't know. Anyway, it's something you made. It must be something very powerful."

Yu Tianlu was not surprised by this kind of flattery.

From childhood to adulthood, Yan Yue has always enjoyed the convenience provided by his "power of elephantization".

Even Yu Tianlu sometimes feels that he is like Doraemon who has traveled from his own world, constantly using his treasure bag to take out convenient props to help the hero of this other world.

"This is my improved vacuum cleaner, with a hand-cranked blower behind it." Yu Tianlu also explained to Yan Yue, "Since there is no electricity in this world, I made improvements. After a while, you can shake it as hard as you can. The handle at the back allows the blades to rotate in the opposite direction. This allows all the fallen leaves on the ground to be sucked into the cloth bag."

"It's true! Is this what you said, something from your original world?"

"So be it!"

In order to cope with this scene, Yu Tianlu also searched out the schematic diagram of the vacuum cleaner from his memory. Coupled with a blower and a turbine, the pieces were pieced together, and a giant vacuum cleaner was assembled on site using the "power of elephantization".

I don’t know if it’s the skills given to him after time travel. Yu Tianlu not only has the talent of “power of elephantization”, but also has a set of photographic memories. What he saw and heard in the original world before was clearly imprinted in his mind, and Yu Tianlu could access it at any time.

"Okay, my vacuum cleaner can't last too long. It's almost ten minutes, so we have to hurry up!" Yu Tianlu also reminded.

"It's only ten minutes! You really need to hurry up!"

After hearing this, Yan Yue rushed to the blower and grabbed the handle.

"Is it turning like this?" Yan Yue tried to turn around, and saw that the fan blade also turned around.

"That's it. Don't worry. Wait for my signal."

As Yu Tianlu said that, he also ran over and picked up the huge vacuum cleaner head.

"After a while, I tell you to start, and you turn the blades as hard as you can. Do you understand?"

"Okay, Xiaolu!"

"Whether you can earn those ten gold coins depends on your own performance."

After Yu Tianlu finished speaking, he turned around and pointed the vacuum head at the area with the densest leaves.

"It's time to start!"

Yu Tianlu gave an order, and Yan Yue over there also turned the handle crazily.

As the fan blades rotated crazily, the vacuum head also released powerful suction.

In just an instant, the super strong airflow sucked in the leaves on the ground. After a while, that area had been cleaned up.

Yan Yue, who was at one end of the blower, also clearly saw that all the fallen leaves were introduced into the prepared cloth bags along the pipe.

"It's really effective! Xiaolu." Yan Yue was also extremely excited when he saw the pockets that were quickly filled.

Next, this boy with infinite strength shook his head even more happily.

As Yan Yue turned the handle faster and faster, Yu Tianlu felt that the vacuum cleaner head in his hand was a little unruly.

Now he seemed to be holding down a python that was scurrying around. He needed to use all his strength to control the vacuum cleaner head.

Yu Tianlu felt that if this improved vacuum cleaner had not been created with the "power of elephantization", it might have been destroyed by Yan Yue's violent use.

"Ayue, please turn a little slower. Pause in the middle and change the cloth bag for collecting leaves. Do you hear me?" Yu Tianlu also quickly ordered.

"I know!" Yan Yue responded quickly.

With this convenient tool, the efficiency of cleaning the yard has indeed been greatly improved.

It was less than ten minutes after about one o'clock, and Yu Tianlu's "power of image transformation" had reached its limit. This vacuum cleaner from another world finally came to an end, turning into a point of light and disappearing without a trace.

The two friends looked back and saw that without even realizing it, most of the fallen leaves in the courtyard had been swept away. The bulging cloth bags were piled up in the corner of the courtyard, as high as a hill.

"Xiao Lu, what kind of machine is that of yours?"

"It's a vacuum cleaner!"

"By the way, that vacuum cleaner of yours is really powerful. Look, it cleaned up so many fallen leaves at once. How big an area is..."

"If you estimate it with the naked eye, it's about two-thirds of the area!"

"Two-thirds! How long will it take us to clean up the remaining area?"

"According to the mobility of the two of us, it will take another two or three hours!" Yu Tianlu thought for a while and said.

"It's going to take so long! Xiaolu, please think of a way and use the 'power of image' to conjure up that vacuuming machine!" Yan Yue held Yu Tianlu's hand and begged.

"Okay, you don't have to pester me. I'm not a real elephantizer. It's not easy to create a machine that lasts ten minutes. Anyway, all the elephantine power I stored today has been used up. If you If you still want me to change something, please come early tomorrow." Yu Tianlu also spread his hands and answered simply.

"What to do with so many leaves?"

"What should we do? Of course it depends on our two hard-working hands!" Yu Tianlu said, suddenly staggering and about to fall to the ground.

Yan Yue next to him had quick eyes and quick hands, and he quickly supported Yu Tianlu.

"Xiao Lu, what's wrong with you?" Yan Yue asked with concern.

"Perhaps the power of image transformation is too much, and I feel a little overwhelmed for a while! It's okay, let's finish the rest of the work together!"

As Yu Tianlu said this, he struggled to get up and was about to get the big broom in the corner.

Unexpectedly, he was picked up by Yan Yue before he took a few steps.

"Ayue, what are you doing?" Yu Tianlu also asked in surprise.

Yan Yue took three steps at a time and carried Yu Tianlu to sit on a large bluestone next to him.

"Xiao Lu, it's all my fault, I made you tired." Yan Yue said apologetically, "You have a good rest here, and I will do the rest of the work alone!"
