#123 - Chapter 123 The wool-pulling plan begins

“Yes, the information also mentioned equipment. I've already bought it for you. Just give me the cash equivalent when you earn money later!” During the call, Chu Wei put on an act of 'clear accounts between close brothers'.

Listening to Chu Wei's attempt to conceal her true intentions, Shen Xingyan chuckled helplessly. How could he not know what she was up to? She was simply afraid that he would reject her kindness.

He thought for a moment. He had just been wondering what kind of equipment would suit his current identity.

This was good too. He didn't have to waste time thinking about it. Besides, he already owed Chu Wei so much; what was one or two more favors?

Immediately, Shen Xingyan agreed and solemnly promised to repay her double in the future.

Hearing this, Chu Wei beamed with joy and chattered on about the trial precautions she had gathered from her parents.

Throughout the entire conversation, she didn't ask Shen Xingyan what level he had reached.

After all, she knew Shen Xingyan's true situation. Bringing up such a topic would be like rubbing salt in his wounds.

Shen Xingyan also listened quietly to her cheerful narration, a sincere smile occasionally appearing on his face.

Half an hour later, the two ended their call.

Recalling Chu Wei's words, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but wonder how to repay this little sun's kindness without exposing his own situation.

“This is really a difficult task! But, in the end, it's still because my strength isn't enough. I still need to keep practicing!” Shen Xingyan cheered himself on, and his body naturally began to move.

Meanwhile, within the planting space, while Shen Xingyan was exercising, it was also welcoming its second monster invasion.

“Ding~ Detection of foreign species invading your planting space, please deal with it in time to avoid significant losses!”

This warning echoed within Shen Xingyan's planting space. If not dealt with in time, all the crops here would suffer great damage, especially that acre of strawberries that was about to ripen.

Looking at the direction these little monsters were heading, it was clear that they were coming for this acre of strawberries, but Shen Xingyan, still in the real world, was completely unaware.

Fortunately, Wangcai and the others were present in the planting space. Upon hearing the prompt, Wangcai also quickly took action, eagerly assigning all the combat tasks.

Wangcai directed Laifu and Laiqian to gather all the little skeletons under their command, arranging them into two neat rows, like a wall blocking the monsters' path.

A real battle began!

If Shen Xingyan were here, he would have discovered that the invading monsters were no longer the badgers from last time, but a group of little rabbits.

Furthermore, their attributes were not much different from the previous badgers, well within Wangcai's and the others' capabilities.

Fortunately, the Star Origin maintenance prompts were still appearing relatively slowly. Only after Wangcai and the others had wiped out all the little rabbits did the double prompt phenomenon appear.

And after eliminating the little rabbits, Wangcai and the others actually felt a sense of joy, which motivated them to work even harder, quickly eliminating the double prompts and resuming their usual leisurely labor.

Shen Xingyan in the real world, however, was unaware of Wangcai's and the others' heroic deeds.

He continued to exercise until his sister came back in the evening, finally stopping.

Opening his attribute panel, Shen Xingyan checked the progress of the 'Power of Balance' and found that it had reached 29%, doubling his previous efficiency and greatly exceeding his expectations.

“Now, my progress increases by 1% every hour. It seems that the hour of comprehension just now greatly improved my physical training!

At this rate, in another two or three days, I can once again welcome an increase of +1 to all attributes. Such a rate of improvement is truly surprising!”

Thinking of this, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but walk over happily. After eating with his sister, he went to the planting space to use his talent skill.

At this time, he only saw a peaceful scene of the little skeletons working, and didn't notice anything unusual.

Seeing that the number of little skeletons had grown to 37, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, thinking that in a few more days he could completely let go and not need to manage them so much!

Returning to the real world, he continued to exercise with his sister until about 9 o'clock.

During this time, he also gave his sister some guidance. Although his sister couldn't learn the complete 'Power of Balance' now, they shared the same source. He guided his sister's movements from an essential perspective, and the effect was still very significant.

Afterward, he directly returned to the Star Origin World to cultivate Origin Energy, while also recovering his consumed energy.

In this peaceful atmosphere, time slowly came to around 3 o'clock in the morning.

This was the time when the professional skill finished cooling down, and also the time Shen Xingyan had set. At this time, he woke up from his cultivation state.

Standing up, he looked at the first acre of strawberry farmland he had planted before. Looking at the tempting strawberries, he silently calculated in his mind:

“Now, the growth time of the first acre of strawberries has reached about 48 days and one hour. If I use my professional skill now, it will produce a 5-day acceleration.

If the application is successful, the strawberries will have 3 days and one hour more than the normal time.

In the future, my wool-pulling plan will need to be based on this time, gradually extending it little by little to see what the final harvest will be like!”

When Shen Xingyan thought of this, he suddenly felt a sense of ambition.

Then, he summoned his clone to deal with the upcoming Star Origin prompt task.

After waiting for two minutes, until the Origin Energy had finished recovering, he used his professional skill.

“Ding~ Detection that you are using a professional skill on some crops that are about to mature. The application of this skill may result in failure for this part of the crops. Do you want to continue?”

Seeing this prompt, Shen Xingyan paused instinctively, but after thinking of his Luck +6 reward, his confidence instantly increased.

This was his first attempt at probability after obtaining the Luck attribute bonus, thinking that Luck should give him face and let this harvest go smoothly!

So he just prayed slightly and confirmed to continue the application.

Origin Energy also left the novice staff in response, directly covering all the strawberry farmland.
