#171 - Chapter 171 Scarecrow

"Congratulations, you have once again broken your previous record of 1250 kilograms of strawberries per acre, successfully reaching 1280 kilograms!

As a special reward, you receive: Scarecrow + 10. Xingyuan will make a server-wide announcement. Do you want to disclose your information?"

The Xingyuan notification of breaking the record instantly caught Shen Xingyan's attention. When he saw that the special reward for breaking the record this time was actually scarecrows, and the number was 10, he couldn't help but scratch his head in confusion, thinking in surprise:

"Scarecrows? I heard that this thing often appeared in farmland before the Yuan Energy outbreak. Its main function is to prevent those birds that invade farmland, playing a certain deterrent role.

I didn't expect that the Xingyuan World's rewards would actually include this thing, and this time, it directly gave me 10. This number is a bit intriguing.

After all, previous rewards were given one at a time, and it was rare for even numbers to appear.

Only at the beginning of farmland rewards would there be more, but now it has started to reward one acre of cultivated land at a time."

Thinking of this, a strange expression couldn't help but appear on Shen Xingyan's face, and he began to have some pessimistic thoughts about this reward:

"Could it be that this time the Xingyuan World feels that there is a quality problem with the rewarded items? Wanting to make up for the value with quantity?

However, the scarecrow is said to only have the effect of scaring people in the past, and it doesn't have any other major uses!

I don't know what kind of effect they will have, given their insignificant value?

But according to the previous reward rules for breaking records, this scarecrow shouldn't be that simple, right?"

With such doubts, Shen Xingyan's thoughts also moved, expressing his intention to 'cancel the server-wide announcement', and then he very sensibly paid 100 silver coins.

The Xingyuan World is also very principled, taking people's money to help them avoid disaster. After the notification disappeared instantly, the entire Xingyuan World became peaceful, with no intention of making an announcement.

At the same time, the 10 scarecrows rewarded for breaking the record also entered his backpack space in several consecutive flashes of yellow light.

Somewhat curious, Shen Xingyan quickly opened the backpack space, and his gaze turned to the item in the last slot, a delicate little man woven from grass.

Then, with a thought, he took the opportunity to check the attribute description of the scarecrow:

Item: Scarecrow (Special Item)

Quantity: 10

Attributes: Permanent item, can set up a fear domain within a maximum range of 1000 square meters, causing intruders with mental attributes below 500 points to be lost in the domain.

Requirements: Yuan Energy needs to be injected when using (Basic survival time ratio is 1 Yuan Energy: 10 hours: 1 square meter range).

Current Status: Closed (Can be opened after injecting Yuan Energy)

Remarks: A good helper for guarding farmland, a must-have item for an excellent farmer, made from wheat stalks in the early Xingyuan era.

After seeing the attributes of these scarecrows, although Shen Xingyan felt that the attributes were okay and had a good enemy defense effect, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly:

"Sure enough, this time the quantity is large, but the quality is not comparable to rewards such as talent stones.

Although such a special item is very useful for other farmer professionals, especially those level 30+ farmers who have been plagued by monster invasions.

If they had this thing, the yield of their crops would get a leap-like improvement, it can be said to be a dream item!

But for myself, who has a powerful skeleton army, I don't have to worry about guarding the farmland at all, so the scarecrow seems a bit useless!"

Shen Xingyan sighed a little for this special item that was useful but not suitable for his current situation.

But just as he regretted this reward, and was preparing to hand over the farming and planting tasks of this acre of farmland to Wangcai and the others, while he himself would quickly slip back to the real world to confirm safety, Xingyuan's reminder appeared in front of him at this time:

"Ding~ Detected that you have 10 or more of the same kind of item, do you want to merge them into an extractable item?"

Shen Xingyan, who was about to take action, couldn't help but pause when he saw this prompt, and then his eyes slowly began to brighten:

"It turns out there can be this kind of operation! Using 10 special items can directly merge into an item that can be extracted to the real world. So it's not just money that can be extracted!

But thinking about it carefully, it's also reasonable, after all, in terms of value, they have indeed reached the standard value that can be extracted!"

The appearance of this reminder seemed to have allowed Shen Xingyan to grasp an important knowledge point, and the expression on his face began to become cheerful:

"Being able to extract the scarecrow to the real world is great! I don't need to worry about whether to extract Yuan Energy or buy a formation with these 10 gold coins on my body.

With the scarecrow in the real world, there's no need for a defense formation or anything!

If I set the scarecrow's range of effect to be around me, the consumption of Yuan Energy will be less, and the battery life won't be a problem at all.

And with the scarecrow's 500 mental attribute restriction, there's no need to worry about safety!"

Shen Xingyan thought happily, and at the same time quickly confirmed the synthesis of the item.

With his confirmation, the 10 scarecrows instantly merged into one and became extractable.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan took it out of his backpack and held it in his hand, observing the miniature version of the scarecrow a little.

Its size is like a pendant, making it very convenient to carry around and won't arouse any suspicion.

Then he extracted it with a smile, and the scarecrow pendant in his hand suddenly disappeared.

Seeing the scarecrow disappear, Shen Xingyan quickly called Wangcai over, instructing it on the next farming and planting matters, and handed over all the farming tools and planting seeds to it.

After giving some instructions, he was still a little worried and asked: "Wangcai, do you understand? Can you do it well?"

After receiving Wangcai's affirmative nod, he smiled and patted its skull, thinking:

"After I deal with the scarecrow in the real world, I'll come back and see how Wangcai and the others are doing. If it doesn't work, I'll shovel it and do it myself. This time, I'll just treat it as an experiment!

Anyway, now that I have the scarecrow, the safety issue has temporarily disappeared, and the time to come to the Xingyuan World has suddenly become much more abundant!"
