#11 - Chapter 11 You do it, I'm leaving

"Little skeleton, although I don't know if it will be you who is summoned next time, I still have to say thank you for today's work," Wang Hao said softly, gently stroking the little skeleton's smooth skull.

The growth progress has increased by 10%, and with the normal growth progress of wheat, Shen Xingyan's wheat growth progress can reach 20% in just one day.

However, the workload that comes with it is also quite proportional to such growth progress.

Today, the various reminders that require maintenance in the land have become so numerous that Shen Xingyan is a little numb.

After all, in reality, wheat usually takes six to seven months to reach maturity without human intervention, so the tasks of catching insects, weeding, and irrigating do not seem so tight.

However, the place where Shen Xingyan is now is the world of Xingyuan, which is indeed very different from Blue Star.

Its progress is completely incomparable to the outside world. Just talking about the maturity period of wheat, if you don't use professional skills, it only takes ten days to mature, and then you can harvest and sell it for money.

Compressing six or seven months to just ten days, the heavy workload of maintenance can be fully imagined, and Shen Xingyan's current situation is that, in this already very short time, he has shortened it by a whole half.

It is conceivable how intense the heavy maintenance work is.

One moment, Xingyuan prompts to catch insects, another moment it prompts to weed, and another moment it prompts to irrigate. One prompt after another comes one after another, and there is no intention to stop.

Every time Shen Xingyan and the little skeleton complete a maintenance task, Xingyuan will prompt that a new daily maintenance task has appeared.

And this series of operations all requires them, one person and one skeleton, to handle. Even a newbie like Shen Xingyan, with full stats, feels his physical strength dropping rapidly, which shows how much work there is.

This is indeed in line with the saying, "no pain, no gain."

Fortunately, Xingyuan gave him 10 copper coins. Shen Xingyan spent 2 copper coins in the Xingyuan mall to buy two steamed buns, which prevented his physical strength from entering the red zone.

It is said that when planting advanced seeds later, you will also need to carry out fertilization maintenance work, and there will be one more daily maintenance task.

It's no wonder people say that the farmer profession is hard; it's really not wrong.

Shen Xingyan is also fortunate to have the help of the little skeleton to barely persevere.

Despite being a bit reluctant, Shen Xingyan did not choose to give up, but continued to seriously complete each of the prompted tasks.

After all, the lessons given by those precedents are constantly reminding Shen Xingyan that if he doesn't work, he won't have money to spend, and he will have to continue to live a hard life.

And there are two reasons why Shen Xingyan keeps working non-stop and doesn't choose to ignore Xingyuan's prompts.

First, if you don't do the prompted tasks for a long time, Xingyuan will increase the planting time of crops, so that the wheat that originally needed 10 days to mature may be extended by a month before it can mature.

Secondly, there is the issue of final yield. Like Shen Xingyan, who can solve the work prompts in a short period of time every time, the final yield will be twice as much as usual, and sometimes even more.

The normal yield of one mu of wheat is roughly in the range of 300 to 1000 kilograms, and the final amount harvested depends on the usual workload.

Nearly 12 hours have passed since the start of planting, during which Shen Xingyan and the little skeleton only occasionally took a break, and most of the time they were completing various prompted tasks.

Although Shen Xingyan is a little tired now, he can still persevere. After all, the more he works now, the greater the yield will be in five days, which is a direct proportion.

However, Shen Xingyan's daily online time has reached its limit, and he has to return to the real world.

As a newbie, Xingyuan only allows him to stay here for 12 hours a day. If he exceeds the time, Xingyuan will automatically drive him out.

There are also ways to increase the stay time, which is to wait until the level reaches level 20 in the future, or to spend money to stay longer.

At this time, Xingyuan has already given Shen Xingyan a prompt that he is about to reach the limit time, and he has no choice but to return to reality.

Looking at this little skeleton who has accompanied him for more than ten hours, Shen Xingyan is really reluctant, but there is no way.

He already feels very fortunate that it hasn't disappeared until now.

This proves that every time he comes to carry out professional activities in the future, he will have an obedient and hardworking little skeleton to accompany him, and he will always have a farming efficiency half a level higher than others.

Although he was a little reluctant, Shen Xingyan had no choice.

"After I leave, do as much as you can according to these prompts. It sounds quite bleak for a skeleton to just stand here and wait to disappear. Let's continue to work and distract your attention."

After saying these words, Shen Xingyan tasted them carefully and suddenly felt a little strange.

He himself felt the abnormality. The statement just now seemed like those heinous capitalists before the outbreak of the original energy, saying grand words on the surface, but the meaning behind it was to squeeze "this skeleton employee" hard.

However, considering that skeletons do not have such thoughts and have no physical limitations, just like a robot, Shen Xingyan's inexplicable sense of guilt that had just arisen suddenly disappeared.

The reason why Shen Xingyan instructed the little skeleton to work according to the prompts after he left was because Xingyuan would only notify him of some prompts with reward properties in his ear.

However, for some daily maintenance tasks, Xingyuan will humanely make an icon above the wheat field to prompt.

To the extent that life professionals can see it by looking up, if the corresponding maintenance work has not been done for a long time, it will be prompted in the professional's ear and information bar.

And Shen Xingyan found that although the little skeleton's eye sockets were empty, it could see things outside, including the icons of these prompts.

Then, after Shen Xingyan's guidance, the little skeleton now understands what it needs to do when each icon appears.

Looking at this excellent little skeleton, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After waving goodbye to the little skeleton, he found the exit button and clicked on it.

In an instant, Shen Xingyan's consciousness returned to the real world.

And after Shen Xingyan suddenly disappeared, the little skeleton stood there blankly for a long time, seeing that its master had not returned for a long time.

It turned around, looked at the field where the prompt icon appeared again, and unhesitatingly carried out the last instruction given to it by its master, following the icon to work!
