#110 - Chapter 110 The Second Talent Stone
The Star Origin World didn't keep Shen Xingyan waiting for long. Shortly after the harvest notification for the potatoes appeared, it directly presented him with the rewards for this breakthrough in the form of a notification beside his ear:
“Congratulations, you have once again broken your previous record of 7,000 kilograms of potatoes per mu, successfully achieving 7,800 kilograms!
As a special reward, you receive a Talent Skill Growth Stone. Star Origin will make a server-wide announcement. Do you wish to disclose your information?”
Upon hearing the rewards notification, Shen Xingyan was first slightly stunned, then overjoyed. He subconsciously shouted, “Don't disclose, don't disclose! No announcements! Here's 100 silver coins, quickly cancel it for me!”
Having done this many times before, Shen Xingyan had already anticipated the Star Origin notification's next move, so before the Star Origin World could even display the prompt, he immediately took out 100 silver coins and paid.
The speed at which he paid this time surpassed even his previous eagerness. It was as if he wasn't giving money, but a hot potato.
The Star Origin World, seeing that Shen Xingyan had learned to preemptively answer, didn't refuse at all, and very decisively accepted this 'hot potato'.
As the 100 silver coins disappeared from Shen Xingyan's hand, the money-grabbing notification indeed did not reappear.
Seeing this, Shen Xingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
You must know that the Talent Stone reward from a few days ago almost implicated him, the 'culprit'. Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance and managed to get through it safely.
If the Star Origin World were to make another server-wide announcement rewarding a Talent Stone, the farmer investigation storm that had just subsided in the real world would definitely reignite, and become even more intense.
If he wasn't careful, or if he encountered an executor with a 'rather kill than miss' mentality, the outcome wouldn't be good, especially since the status of farmer job holders in the real world wasn't considered high!
Being able to spend money to eliminate this risk was something he was more than willing to do!
After dealing with this matter, Shen Xingyan opened his backpack space with a face full of joy, his eyes directly looking at the dark, yet unusually cute little stone:
Item: Talent Skill Growth Stone (Beginner)
Category: Special Item
Rarity: Rare
Quantity: 1
Attribute: Talent Skill Synchronous Growth +1
Background: Formed from special gravel from the early days of Star Origin's creation, possessing special abilities due to the growth and evolution of the Star Origin World.
“It's the same attribute as last time, the same beginner stone. It seems that beginner Talent Stones should be the reward for breakthroughs in first and second tier crops!” Shen Xingyan analyzed happily.
Although this Talent Stone reward wasn't the intermediate Talent Stone he had previously guessed, he was already satisfied.
In fact, he wished that every breakthrough reward would be this dark little stone.
You must know that the value of this stone is immeasurable. You can see a glimpse of this from the large-scale search in the real world.
Moreover, the 'gold' content of the 'Talent Skill Synchronization' attribute in the Talent Stone is truly incomparable to ordinary money.
If that amount of gold coins were placed in front of Shen Xingyan, it would probably build a mountain!
Shen Xingyan carefully held the small stone in his palm, admiring this stone he had been dreaming of. He discovered that the black stone, with its distinct edges, would show a different kind of color when viewed from different angles, which was very fascinating.
Looking at Wang Cai standing beside him, Shen Xingyan gently patted it, then said in a cheerful voice:
“Wang Cai! Get ready to welcome your attribute boost. When we meet again next time, you'll be a different Wang Cai!
With this stone, the minions your master summons for you will become more and more numerous! Work hard!
In the future, you won't just be a captain. You'll be a general! Wang Cai, the Skeleton General, sounds so imposing!”
Although Shen Xingyan's words were full of a tempting flavor, Wang Cai seemed to have really taken them to heart. The faint gleam that had occasionally appeared in its eyes was now flashing continuously, expressing Wang Cai's high spirits.
At this moment, Shen Xingyan, who was looking at the sky and looking forward to the future, did not notice this anomaly.
After stuffing a 'big cake' into Wang Cai's mouth, he no longer hesitated and directly issued the command to use the Talent Skill Growth Stone with a thought.
Subsequently, the same situation reappeared. Shen Xingyan only felt a shock in his body, and then everything went black before he was kicked out of the Star Origin World.
However, unlike the surprise and panic last time, he was unusually calm this time. He even had a faint smile on his face when he was kicked out.
Shen Xingyan gently rubbed his temples, then focused his mind on his Star Origin Card and checked the attribute panel:
Talent: Summon Skeleton --- Summons 3 skeleton monsters with all attributes of 3 to fight (Cooldown time 24 hours)
At this time, his talent skill was indeed as he had guessed. Not only had the stats of the little skeletons increased by 1 point, but the number of little skeletons summoned each time had also increased to 3!
Seeing this, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but chuckle. Just as he was about to express some of this joyful emotion, he immediately realized that he was in the crowded inner ring area, and there were many neighbors relatively close to him, so he couldn't be too flamboyant.
He could only clench his fists hard and shake them several times to vent his excited emotions.
After a while, he lay down again, his mind connecting to the Star Origin Card and returning to his planting space.
The first thing Shen Xingyan did upon arriving here was to look at Wang Cai, who was working hard. He found that its attributes were also the same as last time. As the talent skill improved, it had become a small skeleton with all attributes of 3.
After seeing Shen Xingyan return, Wang Cai also directly put down the work in its hands and walked to Shen Xingyan's side.
At this time, its movement speed was already 3, and the way it walked was not much different from an ordinary child.
Shen Xingyan laughed and pressed Wang Cai's skull head wearing a small straw hat, his eyes looking at the 8 mu of farmland in front of him, his heart filled with joy.
With the upgraded talent skill, his previous hard days were finally over.
Although the little skeletons with all attributes of 3 had not yet reached the exaggerated level of one being equal to two, they had indeed improved a lot.
28 little skeletons were improved at the same time. Judging from this number, the overall increase in their labor capacity could be compared to more than a dozen little skeletons before!
