#184 - Chapter 184 Direct Maturity

As Shen Xingyan activated his second profession skill, some of the original energy within his body, after being converted by the skill, began to surge towards his staff.

Feeling this energy, Shen Xingyan knew the amount of original energy being consumed this time.

“Using the profession skill this time should only have used 10 points of original energy. It seems that low-level animal husbandry does indeed save original energy. On average, each chicken only consumes 1 point!” Shen Xingyan calculated in his mind.

And the reality was indeed as he felt. In his attribute panel, the original energy, which had been fully restored to 83/83 due to leveling up, had now become 73/83.

The ten points of original energy that disappeared were skillfully emitted through the staff in Shen Xingyan's hand, directly impacting the 10 chicks.

The chicks, who were initially somewhat ignorant, began to chirp excitedly upon feeling the arrival of this energy.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan walked towards the fence, wanting to observe the changes in these chicks up close.

However, the moment he stepped over the fence, he felt as if he had passed through a layer of transparent barrier. This surprised him, and he couldn't help but nod slightly, acknowledging this reasonable setting:

“With this barrier in place, the farmland and the pasture will not interfere with each other, and there won't be any incidents of livestock destroying the farmland when I'm not around. The Star Origin World is quite user-friendly after all!”

Shen Xingyan thought to himself as he approached the chicks, squatting down to observe them carefully.

However, after staring at the 10 chicks for more than ten seconds, he saw no special changes occurring.

This made Shen Xingyan shake his head, thinking, “It seems I still need to respect the odds. A 20% probability, even with added luck, only increases the chances slightly. Failure is still normal!”

Shen Xingyan comforted himself in this way. However, just as he was about to get up and return to the farmland, the Star Origin World's notification rang out:

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

Seeing the appearance of the Star Origin skill notification, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but raise his head in confusion, wondering:

“What's going on? Does using the skill successfully even if the probability isn't triggered? And the speed at which this notification appeared is a bit slow, not as efficient as the farmland!”

However, the phenomenon that occurred next answered Shen Xingyan's doubts very well.

The 10 chicks in front of him suddenly began to expand rapidly. From their previous small size, they suddenly grew to the normal size of a chicken, as if by magic.

Then, a series of eggs began to appear 'popping' in front of Shen Xingyan, making him feel a burst of surprise!

“Although the incubation time for the profession skill's effect is a bit long, it seems that it was indeed used successfully, otherwise there wouldn't be this kind of reaction.

It's just that the speed at which these 10 chickens lay eggs is truly eye-opening. It's like an old machine gun, 'dudu' spitting out a whole burst! This speed is really fast! I've really broadened my horizons!”

Just as Shen Xingyan was shaking his head in amazement, the strange phenomenon in front of him slowly began to stop, and the familiar 'harvestable' sign appeared above the pasture.

“This… it can be harvested already? That's too fast!”

Seeing the abnormal phenomenon just now, Shen Xingyan instinctively felt that this mutation should be very successful, but he did not expect that the direction of this mutation would be that it could be harvested directly!

This surprised him, and he couldn't help but mutter in disbelief:

“The chicks need an 8-day growth cycle, but it was completed in less than half a minute!

Although having such a speed is just a probability event, it is indeed fast!”

Shen Xingyan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, but his hands didn't stop. He directly put all the eggs and fully grown chickens into his backpack space.

As Shen Xingyan completed the harvest, the Star Origin's harvest notification appeared almost simultaneously:

“Congratulations, you have harvested 10 chickens (common grade), 8 kilograms of eggs, and gained 880 farmer profession experience points.”

Seeing this auspicious number, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but smile happily: “Getting so much experience in one day is quite good!

The level 3 strawberry crops only provide me with less than 8,000 experience points in 9 days. I didn't expect that 10 level 1 animals could give so much experience. It seems that this second profession skill will really give me surprises!”

While happy, he also opened the backpack space and slightly checked the attributes of the eggs and chickens:

Item: Egg

Quantity: 8

Value: 100 copper coins

Attribute: A cooking ingredient that can restore stamina and supplement a small amount of nutrition.

Item: Chicken

Quantity: 10

Value: 700 copper coins

Attribute: A cooking ingredient that can restore stamina and supplement nutrition.

Shen Xingyan looked at the harvest and found that it was not much different from what he had imagined. After nodding slightly, he opened the Star Origin Mall and sold them all.

Then, he checked the breedable animals in the Star Origin Mall and found that he could currently breed animals between levels 1-5, with the highest level being the level 5 livestock: cows.

Seeing this, he didn't hesitate at all. He directly spent 30 silver coins in the Star Origin Mall to buy 10 calves and put them in his pasture.

He put all the previously rewarded bag of feed in the feeding trough. Only then did he check the attributes of the calves:

Animal Name: Calf

Quantity: 10

Growth Cycle: 18 days

“The calves have an 18-day growth cycle. I wonder if they can naturally grow to that time under my profession skill!”

Shen Xingyan looked at the 10 cute calves and couldn't help but murmur softly, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

After arranging a piece of land in the pasture, Shen Xingyan stepped over the fence and returned to the farmland.

Looking at the acre of farmland that needed to be cultivated, he didn't let the little skeleton do the work, but picked up the tools and started cultivating himself.

Anyway, he has time now, and with the scarecrow guarding the real world, he is not too worried.

While cultivating, he also opened the Star Origin Mall and checked the level 4 crop seeds.

He compared each of the crops that needed to be planted this time, looking for the crop with the longest growth cycle.

The selection range for level 4 crops has undoubtedly become much larger, and some fruit trees and some basic medicinal materials have already begun to appear for selection.
