#143 - Chapter 143 Land Quality Improvement

A few minutes later, Shen Xingyan's original energy had recovered. He didn't hesitate to wave the staff in his hand, while silently chanting the activation of his class skill.

Instantly, the original energy in his body began to circulate wildly, converging at the location of his staff in just two seconds.

At the same time, the warning sound from the Star Origin World appeared synchronously:

"Ding~ It has been detected that you are using a class skill on a portion of crops that are about to mature. The application of this skill may result in failure for this portion of crops. Do you wish to continue?"

"Continue!" Shen Xingyan, already extremely familiar with this, silently repeated it in his heart and directly chose to continue.

The Star Origin World quickly responded to Shen Xingyan's decisive choice. The warning disappeared instantly, and all the original energy on the staff began to detach, instantly covering all the farmland.

Standing in the farmland, quietly observing this change, Shen Xingyan appeared calm and composed on the surface, but his heart was still slightly flustered.

Every time he experienced this, he felt like a combat professional killing monsters for equipment, filled with a sense of the unknown about what was about to happen.

The only difference between him and other probability-based professionals was that he had the blessing of luck, which greatly increased his odds of success.

But even so, it made his heartstrings tighten involuntarily.

As Shen Xingyan held his breath and focused, with a slightly uneasy gaze, the Star Origin World directly announced the final answer:

"Congratulations, you have successfully cast your class skill. Farmer class experience +1."

Upon hearing this notification, Shen Xingyan finally let out a long sigh of relief, silently thanking the goddess of luck for her favor.

Once the effect of the class skill was fully realized, a mature and harvestable icon appeared above the strawberry field at his feet.

Naturally, Shen Xingyan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began harvesting.

As for the frantic maintenance notifications coming from the other farmlands, he didn't worry about them in the slightest. After all, he now had plenty of confidence and was no longer as overwhelmed as he had been at the beginning.

Now, not to mention that he had a clone assisting him, even with just the 50 small skeletons with 4 points in all attributes, he could easily handle the rapid onslaught of maintenance notifications from the eight acres of farmland.

Moreover, under Wangcai's overall coordination and Laifu and Laiqian's precise execution, the little skeletons would even use 'Berserk Skill' when necessary to resolve the 'crisis' at hand.

All these factors were safety barriers that allowed Shen Xingyan to harvest strawberries with peace of mind.

At this moment, Shen Xingyan, single-mindedly focused on quickly harvesting the strawberries and seeing the results, with the buff of 'Wind Walk', was like a small whirlwind rushing back and forth in the acre of farmland.

In this extremely fast state, his harvesting efficiency also reached an unprecedented level. In just a few minutes, all the strawberry plants in the acre of farmland disappeared completely, all entering Shen Xingyan's backpack space!

Satisfied with his harvesting efficiency this time, Shen Xingyan stood up with a smile, and at the same time, the Star Origin's harvest notification echoed in his ears:

"Congratulations, this time you planted 600 square meters of strawberries, with a harvest yield of 1040 kilograms, earning 6240 Farmer class experience points."

Seeing this number, Shen Xingyan appeared very calm.

After all, he had already anticipated that the results of this harvest would exceed the previous yield, so he wasn't too surprised.

Only when he subconsciously converted it into one gold coin and hundreds of silver coins did a slight smile appear on his face.

He thought to himself: 'There's progress every day, and I can earn a gold coin every day. These days are really good!'

At this moment, he didn't take any action and waited for the final reward as usual. 'When things were about to happen,' his excited emotions began to be stimulated, hoping that the words 'talent stone' would appear in the notification later.

The Star Origin World was also very cooperative and didn't make him wait long. Just as his mind was surging, the notification directly appeared in front of him:

"Congratulations, you have once again broken the record you have created so far for the yield of strawberries per acre, reaching 1040 kilograms!"

"Special reward: Permanent land privilege: Ordinary land purchased or rewarded will automatically be converted into black soil. Star Origin will make a full-server announcement. Do you want to disclose the information?"

Seeing that this reward was not the talent stone he had expected, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, he quickly put away this emotion. After all, how could everything be as one wished? Being able to successfully cast a class skill was already a lucky thing. One shouldn't be too demanding, otherwise even the sweetest life can taste like bitter coffee!

Then, he curiously checked the introduction about black soil.

Previously, in the information from the real world, there wasn't much mention of 'black soil', so when he suddenly saw this reward, he subconsciously felt that this kind of reward was ordinary and definitely not as valuable as a talent stone.

But after checking the introduction of black soil, he had to admit that he was too young and too taken for granted.

Black Soil: When crops are planted on it, the quality of the final harvested agricultural products will be improved by one major grade (Ordinary → Good → Excellent → Perfect → ....).

Looking at such a simple introduction of black soil in the notification, Shen Xingyan was instantly speechless.

"The quality of agricultural products is improved by one major grade? Is it so perverted?"

"Does that mean that I could originally only grow excellent quality strawberries, but now I can directly improve them to the perfect level?"

"Then, after I grow perfect quality crops in the future, can I directly break through and reach a quality height that has never been recorded in reality!"

"Moreover, every time the quality of agricultural products is improved by one grade, the value increase is huge. Correspondingly, the further you go, the harder it is to improve. I estimate that by the time I plant level 4 crops, I may not even be able to reach the perfect level."

"But now with such a privilege, I can directly harvest perfect quality strawberries, the value of which is several times that of excellent quality strawberries! The speed of accumulating money can be multiplied!"

"What's even more terrifying is that when planting spirit-level seeds in the future, if the final harvest is improved by one grade, the amount of gold coins obtained is simply unimaginable!"

Suddenly enlightened, Shen Xingyan's eyes suddenly became extremely fiery. Looking at the black soil privilege, he seemed to see countless little money beckoning to him frantically.
