#16 - Chapter 16 Efficiency Improvement

Shen Xingyan watched the two small skeletons walk into the wheat field and followed them, wanting to see how Wangcai guided the little skeletons in their work.

He saw Wangcai make a movement, and the newly arrived little skeletons would follow suit, the two skeletons even skipping the previous gestures.

Shen Xingyan was a little puzzled, wondering how they communicated with each other.

After repeating the movements several times, Wangcai stopped pulling weeds and led the little skeletons back to Shen Xingyan's side.

"Is that it?" Shen Xingyan looked at Wangcai, who was standing quietly beside him, with a surprised expression.

At this moment, it seemed to be expressing that it had completed the instructions Shen Xingyan had given it, and at the same time, it had fallen into a state of silence, standing beside Shen Xingyan and waiting for the next instruction.

Shen Xingyan squatted down and touched Wangcai's skull head with a face full of praise.

This skeleton, which looked a little scary, now gave him a feeling of having found a treasure. If he wasn't afraid that others would think he was a pervert, he would have wanted to kiss it directly.

You must know that when he taught Wangcai these labor movements before, he relied on his identity as Wangcai's master, and there was naturally a skill bonus involved.

In addition, Shen Xingyan was a wise man, and he clearly knew how to get a "skeleton" who didn't understand anything to better complete his instructions. All these factors combined led to Wangcai quickly getting started.

Although Wangcai's tutorial was somewhat similar to his own, excluding the compulsory command factor of skills, it was still able to get the little skeletons started so quickly.

This shows that its efficiency is indeed much higher than Shen Xingyan's, which is a bit puzzling!

"Could it be that there is a special connection method between skeletons? Is communication more efficient?" Shen Xingyan couldn't help but think to himself.

Feeling a little puzzled, Shen Xingyan simply asked Wangcai if it was what he had guessed, and told Wangcai to nod if it was right and shake its head if it was wrong.

However, Wangcai seemed to not understand what its master was expressing at all, and stood there without any reaction.

"I'm a little too greedy. It's already very good that Wangcai can perfectly execute my basic instructions. It's too difficult to ask it to answer questions!"

Shen Xingyan shook his head with some disappointment. He was indeed a little delusional just now, actually thinking of asking a skeleton who had no wisdom and only acted according to instructions to answer his questions.

"It's probably because things have been going too smoothly recently. The mutation of professional skills and the potential of talent skills are making me delusional. I still need to be steady and down-to-earth, and not be too whimsical!" Shen Xingyan made some self-criticism and encouragement in his heart.

Since he couldn't get any useful information from Wangcai, and there was no way to answer his doubts from other aspects, Shen Xingyan had to put this question aside for the time being.

"Let's go, let's go to the wheat field to complete the weeding task." Shen Xingyan said tentatively to the two skeletons. Although he had already guessed the result in his heart, he was still a little uneasy before the result was finally presented.

However, upon hearing Shen Xingyan's instructions, Wangcai and his little follower skeletons started weeding straight in one direction.

Looking at the result in front of him, Shen Xingyan exclaimed that it was great!

"In the future, the task of guiding planting will be handed over to Wangcai. He only needs to issue an instruction and it's done, which is both worry-free and labor-saving!" Shen Xingyan thought happily in his heart.

With three laborers weeding together, the efficiency was quite high, and the weeding task was quickly completed.

However, when the maintenance prompt for weeding disappeared, Shen Xingyan remembered that he had only been preoccupied with the magical effect of the talent skill and the outstanding ability of the little skeletons.

He didn't use his powerful professional skill at the first time after the cooldown ended, wasting a few minutes for nothing, which made Shen Xingyan feel a little regretful.

At the same time, he quickly used his professional skill, consuming 5 points of Origin Energy, making the growth progress of one acre of crops +10%!

"Congratulations, you have successfully used your professional skill, Farmer professional experience +1."

As the effect of the professional skill acted on this acre of wheat field, Shen Xingyan, who was in it, clearly felt that the surrounding wheat had reached the limit of growth and began to develop towards heading.

Looking at the wheat exuding vigorous vitality, Shen Xingyan's previous trace of resentment towards the farmer profession was gradually disintegrated.

He suddenly realized the joy that a farmer profession should have, which is the joy of creating life.

Watching the crops in the field grow bit by bit with hope, and finally become what they want, this feeling of nurturing is probably only felt by every farmer, which also makes Shen Xingyan really fascinated.

"If it weren't for the surrounding external disasters, it would be quite happy to be an ordinary farmer." Shen Xingyan couldn't help but think in his heart.

After sighing, Shen Xingyan no longer hesitated, because the maintenance icon of "irrigation" had already begun to appear in the sky above the wheat field, and he quickly took Wangcai and the little skeletons to continue working.

As the little skeletons quickly became familiar with the various maintenance tasks of the wheat field under Wangcai's guidance, their movements became more and more skillful, which led to a sudden increase in their work efficiency.

Under the joint operation of the three laborers, the various maintenance tasks of one acre of wheat field would be quickly eliminated not long after they came out. Compared with the first day, the difficulty of completing the task can be said to be much easier.

However, the prompts from Xingyuan seemed to be the same as the physical strength of the little skeletons, without the slightest sign of stopping. Often, as soon as they finished one prompt's work, another prompt would immediately fill in, not giving Shen Xingyan a chance to rest.

After five or six hours of hard work, Shen Xingyan's physical strength was almost soaring to the warning line, and then the prompts from Xingyuan began to slow down, and the idle time between the appearance of the two prompts began to lengthen little by little.

Shen Xingyan spent 2 copper coins in the Xingyuan Mall to buy two steamed buns, and was sitting on the edge of the field gnawing on them, and also clearly noticed the phenomenon that the prompts were slowly slowing down, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"The +10% growth progress is indeed very powerful, but it also needs to have matching labor force.

Otherwise, if this acre of wheat field relied on himself alone to maintain, I am afraid that not only would multiple icons appear in the sky above the wheat field at this time, but the wheat would also be punished by the stagnation of the task, resulting in a great reduction in the final harvest."

Shen Xingyan was gnawing on steamed buns to restore his physical strength, while sighing at the complementary nature of the two skills. If any one of the skills appeared alone, it would not have such an amazing effect!
