#121 - Chapter 121 Luck Value +6
"Congratulations, you have broken the previous record of 5500 kilograms per acre for watermelon yield, successfully reaching 6600 kilograms, and are rewarded with a +6 synchronization to your Luck stat. Star Origin will make an announcement throughout the region. Would you like to make your information public?"
Looking at the reward in front of him, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but be stunned.
This time, the reward wasn't an item or skill, but a direct boost to a hidden attribute. This attribute, Luck, was filled with metaphysics, leaving him both surprised and confused.
"I'm not like a combat-oriented class that opens blind boxes, where a Luck bonus would increase the drop rate when killing monsters!
Nor am I a class that relies on chance for successful career advancement, where it could increase the success rate or quality.
I'm just a farmer. I just need to grow crops well. This Luck stat doesn't seem to have much use for me..."
Shen Xingyan's first reaction was that Luck wasn't very useful. However, as he thought about it, he suddenly paused.
His gaze shifted to the farmland in front of him, and then he thought about his "薅羊毛 (hāo yáng máo, lit. 'shearing wool from a sheep')" plan. Instantly, his eyes lit up:
"This Luck stat might actually be useful!
Right now, every time I use a class skill on a crop that's about to mature, I have to offer a careful mental prayer and click 'Continue' with trepidation, then wait for Star Origin's judgment.
But now, with this Luck bonus, wouldn't my skill success rate increase dramatically? My 'shearing wool' plan could proceed quite smoothly!
Furthermore, based on this Luck stat, when I have more farmland in the future, I can implement my previous idea of planting different crops separately to see if I can increase this probability even further.
Also, according to records from reality, it seems that the farmer class also has something called 'critical hits'.
For example, a crop that should have been of normal quality might critically hit and become premium or even excellent quality. This is also related to luck.
Although I haven't encountered it yet, it must exist. Thinking about it this way, this Luck stat is indeed very valuable!"
At this moment, Shen Xingyan's thoughts began to run wild. All sorts of things related to Luck came flooding in, and soon his lips curled into a smile.
When he saw the word "synchronization" in the reward, he was even more pleasantly surprised:
"If it can be synchronized to the real world, that saves me 60 gold coins! Maybe good things will happen in the real world in the future. Overall, this reward is pretty good!"
Shen Xingyan nodded, feeling very satisfied.
However, Shen Xingyan was wrong about one thing. He underestimated the value of the word "synchronization."
The value of a hidden attribute cannot be compared to that of a normal attribute.
If Shen Xingyan had only received a Luck bonus in the Star Origin world this time, and wanted to extract it to the real world in the future, the cost would probably scare him.
But even with his current thinking, Shen Xingyan already felt very content.
After all, it was obvious that this thing would be of great use for his future growth, and since free stuff is always the best, he wouldn't dislike the reward at all.
"Cancel the announcement, here's 100 silver coins!" Very satisfied with the reward, Shen Xingyan generously paid the money.
The Star Origin world also promptly took the money and did the job, no longer displaying the record-breaking announcement worldwide, and issued the 6 Luck points.
Shen Xingyan saw the prompt disappear and knew that the reward had been issued.
Curious, he opened the attribute panel to check, but he didn't see any data about Luck.
"No way, even if Luck is a hidden attribute, shouldn't it show something since I have a bonus? Why is there nothing different, and I don't feel anything!" Shen Xingyan couldn't help but mutter.
Although he had guessed this would be the result, after all, hidden attributes aren't displayed. That's the setting of the Star Origin world, and can only be viewed through special channels.
For example, his Comprehension skill mentioned his hidden Comprehension stat.
But the Luck +6 bonus was clearly not a way to view the Luck stat.
Although Shen Xingyan understood the setting, the inability to see the specific data still made him feel cheated, as if the Star Origin world had secretly pocketed his reward.
Amused by his own thoughts, Shen Xingyan shook his head slightly. Then, he opened his inventory and separated the watermelons from the vines, and checked their attributes:
Item: Watermelon (Premium+)
Value: 50 copper
Quantity: 6600
Attribute: A fruit with a good taste.
Item: Watermelon Vine (Premium+)
Value: 6 copper
Quantity: 400
Attribute: A raw material for potions.
Seeing that this harvest of watermelons, with only 4 hours added to the normal growth cycle, was actually a grade higher than naturally grown peppers.
His previous idea that longer growth cycles resulted in higher quality was confirmed again.
Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to expect a crop to increase in grade with only 4 hours of growth.
He subconsciously calculated the harvest and thought with a smile:
"Just selling one acre of watermelons will get me 330 silver coins. Averaged out per day, that's much higher than the excellent-grade potatoes from before. In the future, I have to plant high-grade, long-cycle crops!"
Shen Xingyan happily looked at his class skills. Then, he kept a hundred kilograms of watermelon for himself and sold the rest of the watermelons and vines to the Star Origin Mall, earning a total of 327 silver coins and 400 copper coins.
Including the money from before, he now had 1 gold, 860 silver, and 963 copper, which was almost two gold coins.
"It's a pity that the speed of earning gold coins is still too slow. I haven't been able to save up 10 gold coins yet. I hope tomorrow's strawberry harvest will give me a surprise!" Shen Xingyan sighed to himself.
If other professionals of the same period as him knew that a farmer had earned a gold coin in just over 20 days, they would probably examine themselves and hit their heads against the wall in frustration!
