#185 - Chapter 185 Planting Peonies

Seeing the level 4 fruit tree and crop seeds, Shen Xingyan immediately ruled them out.

Although Wangcai and the others had grown taller after several talent skill upgrades,

they still couldn't handle those large-sized crops, and maintaining them would be a very troublesome task.

Weeding, fertilizing, and irrigating were all easy enough, with no major requirements, but when it came to maintenance tasks like catching bugs on the plants, Wangcai and the others could only stare blankly.

After all, he couldn't ask the little skeletons to climb trees; it would be too difficult for them.

Moreover, after a rough look, Shen Xingyan found that the growth cycle of fruit trees was generally in the range of 50 to 80 days. Although this was much longer than the strawberry plants, it was not as long as the medicinal herbs.

With this in mind, he focused his attention directly on those medicinal herbs with long growth cycles.

"Viola yedoensis, white chrysanthemum, Schizonepeta tenuifolia, Isatis root..." Shen Xingyan murmured softly as he looked at these medicinal herbs.

He compared the maturity periods of these seeds one by one. After repeated comparisons, he focused his attention on the crop with the longest growth cycle at this stage: Peony!

Item: Peony Seeds

Value: 20 Silver Coins

Attributes: Maturity Period 100 days, Plantable Area 600 square meters.

"After repeated comparisons, peony is the only level 4 crop with such a long growth cycle. A growth cycle of 100 days is the same as my mutated primary spirit-level planting!

Moreover, according to the rule in the Star Origin World that the longer the growth cycle, the higher the value, peony is undoubtedly my primary choice this time!"

After confirming his choice, Shen Xingyan didn't hesitate. With a thought, he directly purchased the peony seeds needed for 9 acres of farmland.

Originally, buying these seeds would have cost 180 silver coins, but after the 30% discount, he only spent 126 silver coins.

Looking at the small amount of money saved, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but sigh, "The 30% discount on seed purchases is gradually showing its effect! This is just level 4 seeds, and it has already saved me 54 silver coins. I'll definitely save even more in the future!"

Holding the peony seeds needed to plant one acre of farmland in his hand, Shen Xingyan directly called Wangcai, and the two of them, one person and one skeleton, quickly started planting.

They completed the planting of this peony field in just over ten minutes.

Compared to the time it took to plant wheat at the beginning, their efficiency has now increased several times over.

Seeing that the planting task was completed, Shen Xingyan remembered that he hadn't dealt with today's major harvest yet.

Gently patting his forehead, he used the backpack function to separate the strawberry plants.

After briefly checking the perfect quality strawberries, he sold them all to the Star Origin Mall, earning a total of 5 gold, 477 silver, and 500 copper coins.

After the money arrived, his total amount of money reached 6 gold, 4 silver, and 413 copper coins.

Looking at the gold coins that arrived with a whoosh, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but smile happily.

"Let's go, Wangcai. I'll take you to the ranch to stroll around and teach you how to handle the maintenance tasks there. Unlike the farm, which requires constant maintenance, you only need to send a little skeleton to check it every hour."

Shen Xingyan said ramblingly as he led Wangcai across the fence.

When he saw that Wangcai was indeed not restricted by this enchantment, as he had guessed, he was finally relieved.

Then, he taught Wangcai how to place feed and water, as well as how to clean the ranch.

Although this knowledge didn't have step-by-step reminders like when he first planted wheat, the Star Origin World had explained these basic knowledge when the ranch was opened.

In addition, Shen Xingyan had also learned about it from information in the real world, so he taught it in a decent manner.

And Wangcai, who had become increasingly intelligent, absorbed the things taught by his master like a sponge, and according to his master's words, he arranged corresponding instructions for himself in his mind.

Looking at Wangcai, who nodded repeatedly, Shen Xingyan smiled with relief, marveling at how fortunate he was to have such a capable assistant, and then praised him affectionately!

Seeing that everything here had been arranged, Shen Xingyan didn't stay any longer, and in Wangcai's somewhat reluctant mood, he suddenly disappeared into the professional space.

After returning to the real world, Shen Xingyan routinely observed the subtle places around him. Seeing that there were no abnormalities, he stood up and whispered to himself:

"I still have to go out and show my face, otherwise people will think something happened to me. That would increase attention, which is not good!"

Saying that, Shen Xingyan slowly walked out of the tent and began to stroll around.

He greeted the surrounding students somewhat lazily, and then chatted with Chu Wei for a while, telling her about the whereabouts of the Desert Eagle that he had 'heard', and also gave a rough account of the distribution of those monsters in the far areas that the four clones had collected.

"Shen Xingyan, you really didn't waste your time in this safe zone. You were able to get so much information. Why don't you be my secretary for gathering information in the future? I'll pay you!"

Chu Wei looked at Shen Xingyan with a sly smile, saying in a half-joking tone, but there was a hint of sincerity in her eyes, thinking:

"He really is so outstanding no matter where he is. If he had also awakened a combat profession, then I wouldn't have to work so hard to lead the team now!"

Hearing Chu Wei's words, Shen Xingyan shook his head with a light smile and said as a matter of course: "Why pay me? If you want, I can report this information to you every day, how about it?"

After the two joked for a while, Shen Xingyan said goodbye and returned to his tent, and once again began the exercise of 'Balance Force'.

During this period, at 10 o'clock, he learned a lesson and teleported to a hidden place near the safe zone. After releasing the Assassin No. 6 clone, he hurriedly returned to the tent, not staying outside the safe zone for a moment longer.

Then, he continued to exercise until 12 o'clock in the evening, and then slowly stopped.

Shen Xingyan looked at the 'Balance Force' progress in the attribute panel, which had reached 71%, and nodded slightly, no longer continuing to exercise.

After tidying up a bit, he connected to the Star Origin Card and entered the Star Origin World.

Inside the professional space, Shen Xingyan looked at the 0.2 origin energy factor behind the origin energy attribute and thought: I'll see what caused the origin energy cultivation speed to become so fast later!

While thinking, Shen Xingyan sat in the old place and started the origin energy cultivation function.
