Chapter 500 - Making a Water Wheel (3) (2/2)

The whole water wheel was wet as the direction of the water buckets hadn’t been adjusted properly, causing the current above to be unable to flow into the water bucket below.

Looks of confusion were written all over Curtis’s, Parker’s, and Bluepool’s faces.

So, what was this thing?

“Ah!” Bai Qingqing scratched her head in frustration. “There’s a small problem. Let me see.”

As she continued rotating the water wheel and observing it, she noticed that some water buckets poured water more accurately. She then got Parker to help her adjust the angle of the water buckets.

After a few experiments, water was finally able to properly rotate around the water wheel.

Bai Qingqing let out a small sigh of relief. After turning the water wheel one more time, she let go and pushed it aside.

“Splash—splash—splash—”

Bai Qingqing held her breath and held onto Parker’s hand tightly as the water wheel rotated.

“Your hands are cold.” Worried, Parker immediately rubbed her hand between his hands, then placed it near the water and breathed into them to warm them up.

As the water wheel slowed down, Bai Qingqing’s chest tightened, and she clenched her fist tightly, not even noticing that her hand wasn’t in Parker’s anymore.

The sound of wind in the air was heard, and one could still vaguely make out a tiger’s roar from afar.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over, causing the water wheel to pick up speed and the sound of flowing water to become louder.

Bai Qingqing exclaimed in surprise, “Is it working?”

The cold wind was blowing unevenly. The water wheel would rotate quickly for a while, then immediately slow down, then pick up speed again after a moment. Sometimes, the water wheel continued rotating even when the air stagnated.

Bai Qingqing let out a deep sigh of relief. “It’s working!”
