#105 - Chapter 105: Reluctantly Coping

Shen Xingyan woke up from his meditative state and checked his attribute panel. He noticed that the origin energy limit in the origin energy attribute column had increased to a value of 0.3. He couldn't help but nod slightly. Now, he basically gains a 0.1 increase in origin energy limit every other day, which is also because he doesn't spend that much time training each time.

If he used all 12 hours of his stay in the Star Origin World for cultivation, he could increase his origin energy limit by at least 0.1 each day.

However, Shen Xingyan also knew that origin energy cultivation is a gradual process and should not be rushed. Just like his previous training at school, as long as he persisted, there would eventually be a day of explosive growth.

Shen Xingyan stood up and first checked the growth of the five acres of strawberries. He found that without the 'task stagnation' penalty, the strawberry plants were growing much better than described in the data. They looked like they would have a bumper harvest, which made him very happy.

However, when he thought about the tough battle he would face this afternoon, he couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

With the completion of planting the five acres of strawberries, it also meant that his workload after using his professional skills had increased again.

"Long-cycle crops are certainly good, but they also require corresponding strength!" Shen Xingyan muttered to himself.

Now, the summoning speed of the little skeletons can't keep up with the increase in workload at all.

Ordinary labor is fine, and the little skeletons' advantages are still relatively large, but as soon as they encounter situations after using skills, their labor force appears somewhat stretched, and he has to personally step in to solve the problem.

"I have to say, I really miss the days when I only needed to use my skills and then had nothing to do!" Shen Xingyan sighed slightly.

Putting this thought aside for the time being, he then slowly walked to the area where the peppers were planted.

He saw that the peppers were still green. According to the timeline, the peppers should be in the early stages of the ninth day of their growth cycle, and it would take nearly two more days to reach maturity.

However, under Shen Xingyan's +10% growth rate professional skill, the ten-day pepper cycle could be shortened by one day, which means that the peppers would be fully ripe around 2 a.m. tonight.

Shen Xingyan estimated in his heart, subconsciously thinking of the scene when the wheat was harvested, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

You know, the wheat, which also had a 10-day growth cycle, was used to break the Star Origin record after it naturally matured.

By analogy, the likelihood of his peppers breaking the record this time is very high!

With such expectations, Shen Xingyan's already energetic state became even more radiant.

While inspecting the farmland, he also stroked each little skeleton as a kind of encouragement.

Afterwards, Shen Xingyan had a good talk with Wang Cai about the upcoming labor principles, and then returned to the real world, repeating another day of training.

This time, he still used his comprehension skill on physical training. Each training session brought new gains, which made him enjoy it.

Moreover, while the body refining movements were optimized again, the transparent little man in his mind became clearer and clearer. He could even vaguely see the complexity of the little man's movements, which were completely on a different level from him. This discovery made him even more expectant.

Shen Xingyan trained in the training hall until a little after one o'clock in the afternoon, and then went straight home.

After eating something to fill his stomach, he used the Star Origin Card to connect and enter his planting space.

As soon as Shen Xingyan landed, he was greeted by the scene of the little skeletons working diligently, and the picture gave him an unusually harmonious feeling.

Although the little skeletons belong to the undead system, which is inclined to death attributes, and crops naturally represent the hope of life.

Such two extremes that should not have appeared at the same time were actually compatible in his planting space, and did not seem to conflict in any way, which felt extremely magical.

"It seems that the ancient saying that things will reverse when they reach their extreme, and that yin and yang harmonize, really has its reasons. It seems that while training on weekdays, learning should not be neglected!"

Shen Xingyan couldn't help but feel a sense of enlightenment in his heart, and he felt that his mental strength had become fuller, and he didn't know if it was his illusion.

Before long, he came out of this emotional mood, and at this time, the cooldown of his professional skills was completed.

After telling Wang Cai to arrange 5 little skeletons for each of the five acres of strawberry fields, and 1 to take care of the watermelon field, he looked at his increasingly growing workload, and could only sigh slightly, comforting himself to do his best and leave the rest to fate.

With a thought, Shen Xingyan's entire body's origin energy began to surge out, falling on all the farmland.

As the prompt that the professional skill was successfully cast appeared, the Star Origin maintenance prompt also came surging again as if the floodgates had been opened, and the momentum gave people the feeling that it was even greater than before.

Shen Xingyan quickly had the few little skeletons use the berserk skill, while he took the lead and began to run around in the various farmlands to work.

At this time, Shen Xingyan vividly demonstrated what it means to be exhausted, doing his best to use his skills, busy with this end and busy with that end, not to mention taking a little rest, even the effort to take a few more breaths was not available.

During the entire maintenance task period, the sky above the farmland had even begun to show a triple prompt warning.

If he didn't deal with it in time, he would receive the first 'task stagnation' penalty of his professional career. Fortunately, Shen Xingyan arrived in time and worked like his life depended on it, so that he didn't receive this first 'ticket'.

Although there are many firsts in a person's life, Shen Xingyan didn't want the first 'task stop' to appear.

Fortunately, with Shen Xingyan's desperate labor, this first time was temporarily not destined for him.

As the speed at which the Star Origin prompt appeared began to slow down, Shen Xingyan walked out of the farmland somewhat exhausted.

At this time, his stamina value had completely broken through the warning line. He quickly bought a piece of grilled meat and ate it in large bites. Grilled meat is a food that can restore stamina well, and is generally standard for combat professionals, but the price is more expensive.

Shen Xingyan naturally didn't care about this. While eating, he also lay on the ground to recover quietly.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, his weakness disappeared, and his stamina value returned to the normal range.

"Farming is really not easy! It's time to go back to training." Shen Xingyan sighed and returned to the real world.
