#145 - Chapter 145 The Price of Becoming Stronger

Shen Xingyan snapped out of his daze and refocused, ready to tackle the last task of the day: selling all the agricultural products!

He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy every time this moment arrived.

And that was perfectly understandable, considering the hardships he and his sister had endured for over a decade due to financial constraints! So, he took money matters very seriously.

Besides, the feeling of earning more than one gold coin every day was truly wonderful!

Watching his wallet gradually bulge, Shen Xingyan felt a joy that came from the bottom of his heart.

After opening his inventory and decomposing the strawberry plants within, he checked the attributes of the strawberries and strawberry leaves, finding that they were still of Excellent quality. He nodded slightly.

"Tomorrow, I won't be dealing with 'Excellent' anymore! It will be Perfect!"

A smile crept onto Shen Xingyan's face as he opened the Star Origin Store and sold all his harvest.

The sale of the two agricultural products earned him a total of 1 gold, 263 silver, and 500 copper coins, once again setting a new personal record.

With the money received, Shen Xingyan's total assets reached a little over 7 gold coins, equivalent to 700,000 before the Origin Energy outbreak.

"Just three more gold coins and I can extract an attribute point into the real world. I wonder if tomorrow's harvest will allow me to achieve my small goal of 10 gold coins!" Shen Xingyan thought with longing.

Although extracting a single point of Origin Energy might not seem like much to him right now,

he believed that everything was difficult at the beginning. He was confident that once he extracted an attribute from the Star Origin World for the first time, subsequent extractions would become easier and more frequent!

After finishing the last task of the day, Shen Xingyan clapped his hands lightly, planning to help Wangcai and the others with their work for a while before returning to the real world.

However, what he thought would be a relatively easy task turned out to be more strenuous than before after only a few minutes of work.

This made him feel puzzled. Logically, with 50 small skeletons with all attributes at 4, plus himself and his clone, it should be easier, but why did it feel more difficult than in previous days?

Sensing this situation, Shen Xingyan subconsciously stopped working and simultaneously used the eyes of his clone and himself to examine the farmland, trying to find the reason.

After a few minutes of observation and comparison with his memory of the scene, he somewhat understood the reason: the prompt frequency was far greater than before, so it wasn't that their efficiency had decreased, but that the prompts had intensified.

This discovery couldn't help but make him feel puzzled.

After looking around, he turned his gaze to the soil that had turned black, and suddenly he slapped his forehead as if he had suddenly realized something, and at the same time understood the cause of this change:

"The black soil has changed. I was only happy about the improvement in quality, but I didn't think about the principle that there is always a trade-off.

If I want to improve the quality of agricultural products, the price to pay is not just a piece of black soil, but also the increased Star Origin maintenance prompts.

Fortunately, my little skeletons have already reached a certain scale, and their attributes are not too bad, so dealing with these prompts is not too strenuous!"

Shen Xingyan sighed slightly, knowing that everything was interconnected and mutually influencing each other.

Then, he put away his somewhat leisurely mood and fully focused on dealing with the Star Origin maintenance prompts.

Under this sudden increase, fortunately, Shen Xingyan and his clone were assisting from the side, and Wangcai and the others were the main force, so there were no accidents.

After working for more than an hour, the Star Origin maintenance prompts slowly returned to stability.

Looking at the maintenance prompts in front of him, Shen Xingyan silently calculated their frequency.

Finally, through calculation and obvious feeling, he also knew that the frequency of maintenance prompts was indeed faster than before.

"Fortunately, I have a constantly increasing number of small skeletons, and their quantity and quality have been improved under the effect of the talent stone, plus Wangcai's existence ensures the efficiency of labor, so I can maintain the existing advantages.

Otherwise, with the talent skill that was not improved before, there would only be twenty or so small skeletons with all attributes at 1 at most.

In that case, the daily maintenance of the farmland would probably not be able to be taken care of!"

Shen Xingyan looked at the situation in front of him and murmured softly. At the same time, he became even more eager to obtain talent stones, because talent skills were the foundation he relied on.

"Take it slowly, don't rush. As long as I stabilize now, everything in the future is just a matter of time," Shen Xingyan thought with some openness.

Then, he opened the Star Origin Store and bought some body-strengthening potions for his sister and himself.

After all, he was now considered rich. The idea of giving his sister physique potions to drink like water, which he had thought about before, had taken a big step forward.

After extracting the potions into the real world, Shen Xingyan disbanded his clone, greeted Wangcai, and returned to the real world.

At this time, it was evening in the real world. Although the area he was in was the inner ring of the North District, there was no one outside at this time.

He hadn't been out for a few days, and his original intention to use the teleportation skill to take a stroll was also hindered by the silent night.

After suppressing this impulse, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but warn himself in his heart: Just bear with it, stability is the most important thing, and besides, I'm going to the Outer Realm in two days, and I should use all my time to improve myself!

Shen Xingyan, who was cheering himself up in his heart, teleported directly to the training room and began today's training.

Because he had enough rest in the Star Origin World, he was particularly energetic this time. It seemed that he would no longer let his sister easily see the feeling of fatigue like before!

And there were many people in Shen Xingyan's generation of awakened people who had the same idea.

After receiving the school's prompts, they became even more frantically killing monsters in the Star Origin World to improve their professional level, and then began to extract the rewarded attribute points into the real world.

Children are the center of a family, and this is true in any era.

Therefore, almost all families are sparing no effort to realize their children's desire to extract attribute points into the real world.

And this has made the overall strength of their generation of awakened people improve crazily.
