#18 - Chapter 18: He exercises while others sleep

The beautiful fantasies of the future made Shen Xingyan chuckle involuntarily, invigorating his spirit. At that moment, Xingyuan's prompts appeared above the wheat field.

Without hesitation, Shen Xingyan led the two little skeletons into the wheat field, beginning their labor step by step.

The restoration of his stamina, coupled with his mental excitement, filled Shen Xingyan with energy, so much so that as soon as Xingyuan's prompts appeared, the three model laborers would quickly eliminate them.

As their efficiency increased, Xingyuan seemed to be shocked by the three of them, or perhaps the aftereffects of the previous +20% growth progress had weakened, causing the time interval between prompts to lengthen.

Shen Xingyan gradually realized that he even had a few precious moments of rest, a luxury he didn't have yesterday.

During the break, Shen Xingyan looked at the little skeletons and couldn't help but smile. Having one more laborer really made a difference!

Because of Shen Xingyan and his team's efficient maintenance, the wheat in the field grew more and more luxuriantly, and the ears of wheat became larger and larger. It was foreseeable that if there were no major problems in the future, a high yield was guaranteed!

Working and resting intermittently, Shen Xingyan's time in the Xingyuan World was slowly coming to an end today.

Looking at the countdown of Xingyuan's prompts, Shen Xingyan squatted down and patted the heads of the two little skeletons, saying softly:

"I need to leave for a while. I'll leave this acre of land to you. Wangcai, although you were summoned one day earlier, you're considered a 'senior'. Take good care of the little skeleton."

Shen Xingyan couldn't help but laugh at himself as he spoke.

He secretly thought: Although he knew rationally that they would definitely follow his instructions and that he didn't need to say so much, his words were no different from talking to the air and wouldn't get any response from the two little skeletons.

But he couldn't help but give instructions. This was probably related to his years of taking care of younger girls.

Shen Xingyan chuckled, shook his head slightly, then waved to Wangcai and the little skeleton. With a slight movement of his consciousness, he instantly disappeared from the Xingyuan World.

Standing at the edge of the field, Wangcai and the little skeleton watched their master disappear into thin air. They slowly turned their skeletal heads, seemingly searching for Shen Xingyan out of instinct.

Wangcai had experienced this yesterday and quickly stopped after failing to find him, turning his body towards the wheat field.

However, the newly arrived little skeleton kept looking around, unable to find Shen Xingyan's aura from the subtle connection, but he didn't give up and continued to search blindly.

Until a new prompt icon appeared above the wheat field, Wangcai precisely executed Shen Xingyan's instructions and walked towards the wheat field.

But halfway there, he discovered that the little skeleton was still looking around, completely unaware of the new prompt icon.

Wangcai slowly turned around and went back, then "bang" hit the little skeleton's skull, causing the little skeleton, who was turning his head, to freeze in place.

The little skeleton tilted his head slightly to look at Wangcai, only to see Wangcai slowly extend his finger bones and point to the icon above the wheat field, then turn around and walk towards the wheat field.

The little skeleton, who had been educated by Wangcai, also lowered his skeletal head and followed behind Wangcai, showing no sign of resistance, as if he had been intimidated by Wangcai's power.

Back in the real world, Shen Xingyan slowly opened his eyes as he had yesterday, but the difference was that he looked energetic at the moment.

Today's new discovery of his talent skill made Shen Xingyan very excited, and sleeping in the Xingyuan World had the same effect as in reality.

The three hours that Shen Xingyan rested in Xingyuan before were equivalent to resting in the real world. These two factors combined gave him his current energy.

After waking up, Shen Xingyan kept checking the information on his Xingyuan card, confirming its authenticity again and again, and finally looked at the ceiling with a happy face. The joyful mood made him unable to control himself and he couldn't wait to announce to the world:

He, Shen Xingyan, was no longer a farmer without resistance. As long as he was given time, his achievements would definitely shock all creatures, including those invading disasters!

Fortunately, reason suddenly appeared at this time, suppressing this impulse.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. Before you have enough strength, you must not reveal it to anyone, remember, remember!" Shen Xingyan hurriedly warned himself in his heart, his mood surging.

He exhaled a heavy breath, and Shen Xingyan got up and started to cook. It was still early morning, and in order not to disturb his sister so early, he carefully cooked meals for himself and his sister.

After swallowing his share, he returned to the room. Unable to fall asleep, he had no choice but to start gently dancing his body in the room, exercising according to the physical skills taught by the school.

In this time when people were either immersed in the Xingyuan World or in sleep, people like Shen Xingyan who were exercising their bodies were definitely rare.

It wasn't until dawn that Shen Xingyan slowly stopped his exercise, and the two hours of exercise had consumed a lot of his physical strength.

He took out his Xingyuan card and checked it, and his physical strength had dropped to 4 points, and he would soon enter a weak state.

At this time, he heard a slight noise outside, and Shen Xingyan knew that his sister was getting up, so he quickly changed out of his sweat-soaked clothes and walked out of the room.

"Huh, Brother, why are you awake?" Shen Xingying was surprised to see her brother walking out of the room at this time.

According to her speculation, her brother should have come out of the Xingyuan World at five or six in the morning, which was the most sleepy time, so he should still be sleeping now.

"It's nothing, hurry up and eat. I've already made it for you." Shen Xingyan rubbed his sister's hair and said with a doting smile.

Shen Xingying nodded in agreement and started eating breakfast without any doubt. She hadn't seen her brother for two days, and she was very happy to be able to see him and say a few words before going to school today.

"Brother, what is the Xingyuan World like? I heard that it's much more lively than here, as prosperous as before the disaster!" Shen Xingying asked curiously while eating, her eyes full of longing.

Shen Xingyan warmed up two steamed buns for himself, and while eating, he explained his first impressions. Although he had spent most of these two days in the professional space, it didn't prevent him from sharing the peaceful street with his sister.

Shen Xingying listened to her brother's description, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.
