#152 - Chapter 152 Four Times the Workload

After Shen Xingyan confirmed his decision to continue, the primal energy that had been gathering on his staff for so long instantly surged out, affecting all the farmland.

This naturally included the 'mutated seeds' that were undergoing accelerated nurturing for the first time.

After sensing the effect of Shen Xingyan's skill, the seeds, which hadn't even shown a hint of sprouting after a full day of planting, began to exhibit slight movements.

However, Shen Xingyan didn't immediately check on the status of this Spirit-grade crop. Instead, he stood in the seventh mu of strawberry field, which was about to mature, carefully observing the strawberries for any telltale signs, in order to judge the outcome of this attempt.

Although he knew the result would be revealed soon, he still subconsciously performed this action, which was also his way of diverting his nervous emotions.

A few seconds later, just as he noticed some improvement in the strawberries, the Star Origin's notification sound appeared simultaneously:

“Congratulations, you have successfully cast your profession skill. Farmer profession experience +1.”

Upon hearing this simple notification without any suffixes, Shen Xingyan felt a sense of comfort in his heart, and his mood returned to normal.

“Although I can try to break the Star Origin's record every day and receive considerable rewards, I still have to go through such a psychological game, which is a great test for my little heart!”

Looking at this notification, which felt like winning a gamble, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but smile and let out a somewhat Versailles-esque sigh.

It was fortunate that no one else could hear his sigh. If such an opportunity were given to others, they would gladly have their hearts tested like this all the time!

After finishing his sigh, Shen Xingyan no longer lingered in the strawberry field. Instead, he quickly walked to the field where the mutated seeds were planted, and stood guard with his doppelganger, fully prepared.

“100-day Spirit-grade seeds, although I don't know their specific effects, they still need to be given special attention. Perhaps they will give me a little surprise in the future!” Shen Xingyan muttered softly.

However, a dozen seconds after the profession skill's effect was fully realized, he saw the small sprout that had barely emerged, and Shen Xingyan couldn't help but smile helplessly:

“As expected of a growable Spirit-grade seed. After a 10-day growth cycle, it can only grow into this?”

“Fortunately, there is no weeding maintenance notification in the farmland now. Otherwise, with such a small thing, I would have treated it as a weed and disposed of it!”

As Shen Xingyan couldn't help but complain softly, the Star Origin's maintenance notifications began to surge in, especially above the farmland he was currently in. The speed at which they appeared was something Shen Xingyan had never encountered before.

“Wangcai, leave the maintenance of the other farmlands to you. My doppelganger and I will focus on this one. Remember to use the 'Berserk Skill' when necessary.” Shen Xingyan said softly, and then directly began to work.

After communicating with Wangcai, who had rudimentary intelligence, it could already understand that 'going all out' meant 'Berserk Skill', which made it much easier for Shen Xingyan to speak.

Wangcai, who had already begun assigning the little skeletons to work, glanced in the direction of its master after hearing the instructions, and slightly nodded its little skeleton head to indicate that it had received the order.

On Shen Xingyan's side, relying on his forty-plus attribute points and the blessing of Gale Steps, coupled with his doppelganger's thirty-plus attribute points, the work efficiency they produced in coordination could be said to have reached the peak of the current stage.

However, even in such a situation, facing the notifications that came down as if they didn't cost money, dealing with them was not easy.

Originally, as Spirit-grade crops, their maintenance frequency was high, and the daily maintenance frequency was twice that of strawberries.

In addition, the 10-day growth cycle was compressed together, and its frequency was equivalent to four times that of strawberries in the same state.

If the little skeletons were to take care of it, it was estimated that it would take nearly 20 skeletons working together to keep up with the frequency of this wave of maintenance notifications.

“This is only one mu of primary Spirit-grade crops. If my profession level reaches level 40 in the future, and I can use my planting privileges to start planting Spirit-grade crops in all aspects, I can't imagine how much labor will be needed at that time.

The number of my little skeletons still needs to reach a certain scale, otherwise, it will be a troublesome thing to deal with. I don't want to be as embarrassed as I was before!”

While working, Shen Xingyan sighed and planned, and his demand for talent stones became stronger and stronger.

On the other hand, Wangcai's side was in a much better state than Shen Xingyan's.

Fifty-eight little skeletons with all attributes of 4 were dealing with the maintenance notifications of eight mu of farmland, and they seemed to be more than capable without using the 'Berserk Skill'.

Although the onslaught of notifications made the atmosphere a little tense, under Wangcai's overall planning and Laifu and Laiqian's supervision, all the little skeletons were working in an orderly manner, and there was no double notification phenomenon.

Just like that, after an hour and a half of labor, the Star Origin's maintenance notifications finally stopped and returned to a normal frequency.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan squatted down, looked at the small seedling in front of him, and thought about how he and his doppelganger had been busy for more than an hour for this little guy, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing:

“I don't know if this little guy can be harvested after experiencing a 100-day growth cycle, and whether there is such a thing as breaking the record. If there is, then the reward must be very generous! Maybe there will be intermediate and advanced talent stones that I have been longing for!”

Shen Xingyan imagined it slightly in his heart, and then moved to the strawberry field where the harvest was prompted.

“Next, it's up to you. I wonder what kind of reward you can give me this time!”

While Shen Xingyan muttered to himself, his movements were not slow. He harvested skillfully.

A few minutes later, under his veteran's simple and effective harvesting method, the last strawberry plant was also successfully put into his backpack space.

At the same time, the Star Origin's harvest notification sound began to appear:

“Congratulations, you have planted 600 square meters of strawberries this time, and the harvest yield is 1200 kilograms, gaining 7200 points of farmer profession experience.”

Shen Xingyan smiled with satisfaction when he saw this notification: “Today, more than four gold coins have been credited. If I harvest another mu of strawberries tomorrow, I can extract primal energy attributes again!

Wouldn't the progress of 'The Power of Balance' be even faster by then?”
