#103 - Chapter 103 Skill Failure

"Wang Cai, assign 5 little skeletons to each of the four mu of strawberry fields, and 4 to the watermelon mu. After the double prompts appear later, have one of the little skeletons go 'all out', and leave the rest to me."

At this moment, inside the planting space, Shen Xingyan was holding his novice staff, giving instructions to Wang Cai, who was standing beside him.

Today, his little skeletons had the Berserk skill. Each little skeleton after Berserking could be worth two ordinary ones, allowing them to Berserk one after another, ensuring stable labor in each mu of farmland.

In addition, with him assisting from the side, dealing with long-cycle crops like strawberries and watermelons shouldn't be a big problem.

Moreover, after using his profession skill this time, the pumpkin mu of farmland would directly mature, without him needing to distract himself and take care of it, which invisibly reduced a lot of workload.

With this arrangement, he only needed to take care of the two mu of farmland for peppers and potatoes, and he could coordinate the overall situation in the remaining time.

Based on his labor experience these past few days, and with the Swift Steps, the allocated workload was still a bit easier than yesterday.

While Shen Xingyan was analyzing this, the other little skeletons, seeing their master once again pick up that little stick, subconsciously entered a state of battle readiness.

And Shen Xingyan's capable assistant, Captain Wang Cai, after receiving the master's instructions, looked at the other little skeletons one by one, and without any apparent physical actions, those little skeletons who were on high alert began to change positions.

Before long, they had completed Shen Xingyan's previous plan.

Seeing that his little skeletons were all in position, Shen Xingyan no longer hesitated and directly activated his profession skill.

As his thoughts moved slightly, the primordial energy all over his body quickly gathered at the top of his staff, faintly showing signs of being unleashed, and at this moment, Xingyuan's warning prompt appeared again:

"Ding~ Detected that you are using a profession skill on some crops that are about to mature. The use of this skill may result in failure for these crops. Do you want to continue?"

Shen Xingyan had already anticipated this situation, after all, after the profession skill was successfully used, the pumpkin's maturity would be about two hours longer than the normal pumpkin cycle.

Although it was only a short two hours, it was still considered exceeding the limit.

Shen Xingyan confirmed to continue without hesitation, and the primordial energy he had gathered was released, acting on the entire farmland.

"Congratulations, you have successfully used your profession skill, Farmer profession experience +1, skill application failed for crops that are about to mature!"

Feeling the primordial energy leave, Shen Xingyan had already prepared to start working.

However, after hearing the second half of the text after the successful skill application prompt, the staff he was about to put away stopped abruptly.

"Failed... It actually failed! My previous nearly 100% success rate was actually broken on a crop that only accelerated by 2 hours. This is a bit outrageous!"

Shen Xingyan looked at the 8 mu of farmland in front of him. At this time, only seven mu of farmland were growing frantically, and the pumpkin mu of farmland was still the same as before, without any major movement.

He couldn't help but pat his head, thinking with a wry smile:

It seems that I was too taken for granted before. Although the wool-gathering plan is still feasible, the success or failure every day is also affected by the probability of the Xingyuan world, which leads to the fact that it is impossible to break the Xingyuan record every day as I imagined before!

But fortunately this time, it only wasted 2 hours of pumpkin growth, which is acceptable.

Just as Shen Xingyan was thinking helplessly, the effect of his profession skill was completed, and Xingyuan's maintenance prompts began to flood in.

Shaking his head and sighing, putting this matter aside for the time being, Shen Xingyan called out to Wang Cai beside him: "Wang Cai, let's get to work!"

As he spoke, Swift Steps was also used under his feet, and a swift eagle began to work in the fields.

Although this failure was somewhat unexpected by Shen Xingyan, the arrangement for the maintenance task was not greatly affected.

And with Shen Xingyan's order, all the little skeletons were instantly activated and began to work in an orderly manner.

Before long, the double prompt appeared, and the little skeletons entered the Berserk state in turn according to Shen Xingyan's previous arrangement.

When he really couldn't hold on, Shen Xingyan's figure would appear in time to press back the double prompt.

After persisting in this kind of labor for nearly two hours, the intensity of this wave of labor began to slowly decrease.

Noticing this change for the first time, Shen Xingyan also relaxed, turned off Swift Steps under his feet, slowed down, walked to the side of the farmland, and after a burst of chanting, two little skeletons appeared in the planting space.

He gently patted the skulls of the two little skeletons, threw them to Wang Cai to assign labor, and he himself ate two tomatoes, lay flat on the ground, waiting for the pumpkins to mature.

At this time, he finally had time to think about the next planting plan.

To be honest, today's skill failure really caught him off guard, after all, he had succeeded every time before, which made him subconsciously think that this prompt was just a prompt and did not have much influence.

But after experiencing it this time, it made him sober, and felt that he could not think too optimistically about things. In the future, he still needs to make two preparations to be stable.

"Forget it, if you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet? You can't always ask yourself to be so lucky every time. Occasional bad luck is normal, after all, I am already lucky enough!"

Shen Xingyan comforted himself in his heart, and slowly began to feel relieved. After all, how can there be so much smooth sailing in life? Occasional small setbacks are not a bad thing.

As for the second preparation, he also had an idea in his mind, but the conditions are not yet mature.

While he was thinking like this, his physical strength was slowly recovering. Seeing this, he temporarily put aside the thoughts in his mind and went to the field to continue working with the little skeletons.

More than an hour later, the prompt for pumpkin maturity appeared in the sky above the farmland, and Shen Xingyan immediately put down the farm work in his hand and began today's harvest.

He can now be said to be very experienced in harvesting. As before, after his series of uprooting actions lasted for a few minutes, the pumpkin farmland became very clean.

"Congratulations, this time you planted 600 square meters of pumpkins, and the harvest yield is 2000 kilograms, obtaining 500 Farmer profession experience points."
