#104 - Chapter 104: Premium Pumpkin

As this notification sounded, Shen Xingyan's eyes lit up.

"Although the skill failed, the yield and experience points seem pretty good, exceeding my expectations!" Shen Xingyan looked at the string of numbers in the notification, a joyful expression on his face.

You know, tomatoes with a one-day growth cycle only gave him 60 experience points, but now pumpkins with a six-day growth cycle actually have 500 experience points, which is more than eight times that of tomatoes.

Considering the growth cycle issue, the increase is more than twice as much, and this is without the bonus of a professional skill.

Calculated in this way, his previous idea has also been verified: the experience bonus of long-cycle crops is essentially higher than that of short-cycle crops!

This also further strengthened Shen Xingyan's idea of planting long-cycle crops.

After all, he is a farmer with the Skeleton Summoning talent, and for him, no matter how long the growth cycle of crops is, he is not afraid.

Because in the end, he will always grow them, and under his professional skills, the experience points he finally harvests are unmatched by anyone else. Shen Xingyan has confidence in this!

However, what is a bit regrettable at the moment is that although the six-day pumpkins finally achieved a high yield, there was no record-breaking situation.

Shen Xingyan stood in the middle of the farmland and waited for a while, with a small expectation in his heart, but he did not see the record-breaking notification from Xingyuan appear. He sighed in his heart: It seems that those high-level farmer professionals have put a lot of thought into crops!

He smiled with some emotion. Although this is an era full of crises, it is also an era of talent explosion. Strange talents and abilities emerge one after another. Isn't he one of them?

So he wasn't too disappointed with this situation.

Then, after opening the backpack space, he separated the pumpkins from the pumpkin vines, and then checked the attributes of the two items:

Item: Pumpkin (Excellent)

Value: 40 copper coins

Quantity: 2000

Attribute: A kind of ingredient with a better taste.

Item: Pumpkin Vine (Excellent)

Value: 4 copper coins

Quantity: 300

Attribute: A raw material for a kind of potion.

Shen Xingyan looked at the attribute descriptions of the two items and thought with some joy: "It's actually a high-quality agricultural product, which is a pleasant surprise!"

The current situation made him think of the first time he harvested wheat.

At that time, it was also under the circumstance of not using professional skills that he harvested excellent-level wheat by relying on the natural maturity of the crops.

Combining the previous harvests of tomatoes and cucumbers, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but guess: "Is it true that the longer the growth cycle of crops, the better the quality will be without any 'mission stagnation' penalty?

Then what about my strawberries with a 50-day growth cycle? Is it true that as long as I have the little skeletons, even if there is no professional skill to help speed up the progress, the grade of the agricultural products that come out of the farmland in the end will not be too low, at least it should be of excellent quality or above!

If I add a boost from my professional skills? Will the quality be further improved?

Moreover, ordinary quality strawberries cost 500 copper coins per kilogram, so what about excellent quality or above? Is the value even greater? At that time, my speed of accumulating money will be faster, and I will be one step closer to attribute extraction."

Shen Xingyan repeatedly thought about this idea, and felt that the possibility was not ordinary.

The reason why there is no written record of this in the real world is probably because no one has been able to persist for such a long time without being punished by 'mission stagnation', so no one has found this rule.

Or someone knows this rule, but did not announce it.

However, no matter what the reason, such a discovery is enough to make a smile reappear on Shen Xingyan's face.

The bad emotions brought about by the skill failure just now were also swept away.

His increasingly bright eyes couldn't help but look at the 26 little skeletons working in the field, and he couldn't help but imagine:

"These are all my treasures! With these little skeletons, as long as I am stable enough and stick to the policy of wretched development, the speed of future improvement will become faster and faster!"

With a clear mind, Shen Xingyan walked to Wangcai, squatted down, gently pressed its straw hat, and at the same time showed a knowing smile on his face.

It's also fortunate that outsiders can't enter his planting space, otherwise, seeing Shen Xingyan smiling so sincerely at a skeleton, it is estimated that goosebumps all over his body would rise.

Wangcai, who didn't understand his master's inexplicable behavior, tilted his head subconsciously, expressing his doubts.

Shen Xingyan looked at Wangcai's cute performance, and didn't say much, patted it gently to indicate that it was nothing, and then let it continue to work.

He then returned to the pumpkin farmland and began to plow and sow.

With his current level 11 attributes and the improvement in displayed attributes, doing these two farm works is so efficient that it is several times faster than when he and Wangcai worked together to plant wheat before.

Before long, Shen Xingyan finished sowing the fifth acre of strawberries, and then opened the Xingyuan Mall and sold the pumpkins and pumpkin vines together, earning a total of 81 silver coins and 200 copper coins.

Looking at the money that arrived in his account, and the feeling that the money he earned every day was increasing, Shen Xingyan's mood became even more pleasant!

Looking around, Shen Xingyan saw that the 26 little skeletons were already able to cope with daily maintenance tasks, so he didn't stay in the planting space for long, but returned to the real world to continue exercising, after all, he hadn't done much of today's physical exercise yet.

Back in the real world, Shen Xingyan changed into exercise clothes and came to the underground exercise room.

As soon as he entered, he saw his sister's figure. Seeing this, Shen Xingyan didn't know whether to praise his sister for her hard work or criticize her for not knowing how to rest!

In the end, Shen Xingyan, who couldn't say anything harsh, could only acquiesce to her moderate exercise, and he accompanied his sister to exercise for two hours, during which he taught her the body training movements he had just revised today.

His sister's intelligence also exceeded his brother's imagination. Often, he only needed to give a little guidance, and the other party could quickly understand the meaning and gradually apply it to the body training movements, which gave Shen Xingyan a feeling of being beaten to death by random punches.

When the time was up, Shen Xingyan asked his sister to go up and rest, while he exercised until 12 o'clock before returning to the Xingyuan world for today's cultivation and sleep.
