#189 - Chapter 189 The Higher the Level, the More Work You Have to Do

Two hours later, Shen Xingyan stopped his 'Force of Equilibrium' exercise. He then checked his attribute panel and found that the progress had reached 84%, leaving only 16% before leveling up.

The current skill progress was a staggering 16% higher than when he finished comprehending the skill!

"I spent two hours and increased the progress by 16%. Doesn't that mean one hour of exercise gives an 8% progress boost? As expected, my previous estimate was accurate, with no reduction at all!

After I go to the Dimensional Space and finish harvesting, I only need to exercise for another two hours, and that's another 4 attribute points added to my account.

Moreover, I already gained 4 attribute points this morning. Another wave of that would mean gaining 8 attribute points in a day. I couldn't even imagine that in the past! It's too magical!"

Shen Xingyan looked at this crazy event and couldn't help but purse his lips, suppressing the smile on his face.

Afterward, he ate something, activated the scarecrow's protective function, and took out his Star Origin Card to connect to the Star Origin World.

After arriving at the Dimensional Space, Shen Xingyan first summoned the six sturdy little skeletons and handed them over to Wang Cai for training.

Then, he walked to the acre of strawberry field that was about to ripen, and the novice staff appeared in his hand as his mind commanded.

When the other little skeletons saw their master's posture, they vaguely understood what was about to happen.

Under Wang Cai's command, they began to skillfully move to their respective areas.

Seeing that everything was ready, Shen Xingyan didn't hesitate and silently recited the activation of the first professional skill in his mind.

As the professional skill was activated, he felt 65 points of Origin Energy surging within his body. Multiple castings had made him very familiar with this feeling.

"It seems that for level 4 crops, one acre of farmland also requires 5 points of Origin Energy. Is this the case for ordinary planting, and only Spirit-ranked crops will increase the usage of Origin Energy?" Shen Xingyan couldn't help but think.

As he was thinking this, the Origin Energy quickly condensed at the top of his staff, and the tireless prompt reappeared:

"Ding~ Detected that you are casting a professional skill on a portion of the crops that are about to ripen. The casting of this skill may result in failure for this portion of the crops. Do you want to continue?"

After several successful castings, Shen Xingyan was no longer so afraid of this prompt, but his emotions were still a little fluctuating.

Although the existence of the Luck attribute seemed to always put probability on his side, he didn't dare to take it lightly, lest he become complacent and experience a tragic ending. He would wait until everything was settled before celebrating.

Shen Xingyan silently prayed in his heart and nodded to confirm that he would continue.

Then, the Origin Energy began to leave the staff and instantly covered the entire farmland.

Shen Xingyan quietly waited for a slightly long few seconds. Then, in his slightly expectant eyes, the skill casting prompt appeared before him:

"Congratulations, you have successfully cast the professional skill. Farmer profession experience +1."

Looking at the prompt in front of him, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Shen Xingyan's face.

After thanking the goddess of luck in his heart, he looked at the acre of strawberry field under his feet and began to happily admire the changes in the crops.

Although the time for the effect to occur was more than ten seconds, compared to the few seconds of waiting for the result just now, Shen Xingyan felt that it was much faster.

As if in the blink of an eye, all signs of rapid growth of crops on the farmland disappeared, and a large number of maintenance prompts began to swarm in.

Shen Xingyan had no intention of intervening in those maintenance prompts. After all, he now had as many as 87 little skeletons.

Moreover, they all had 6 points in all attributes, so their work efficiency was quite fast.

In addition, they had no stamina limit and could continuously perform high-intensity labor. For the level 3 strawberry crops, only four or five little skeletons were needed to handle the rapid maintenance tasks.

He didn't pay much attention to the strawberry field, but Shen Xingyan took a particularly careful look at the acre of peony field that had just been planted.

At this time, in his eyes, the speed of the maintenance prompts appearing in the sky above the peony field had obviously increased by a considerable margin.

However, after comparison, although the growth cycle of peonies was the same as that of mutated seeds, which was 100 days, there was a very obvious difference in the frequency of maintenance tasks, which made him think for a while.

"The difference in the frequency of maintenance tasks seems to be getting bigger and bigger as the level of crops increases!

The gap between the level 2 and level 3 crops I planted before was already apparent under similar cycles, but it wasn't as huge as the gap between level 3 and level 4 crops.

But this time it is very obvious. It seems that the maintenance prompts for crops will become larger and larger with the increase in level!

Fortunately, I have the constantly increasing little skeletons to help. Otherwise, even if my attributes were higher, it would be difficult to handle so many farmlands!"

As Shen Xingyan thought this in his heart, his actions didn't delay at all, and he quickly harvested the acre of limited-time harvestable strawberry field under his feet.

A few minutes later, all the strawberry plants on this acre of farmland were collected into Shen Xingyan's backpack space.

At the same time, the Star Origin harvest notification sound began to echo in Shen Xingyan's ears:

"Congratulations, you have harvested 1335 kilograms of strawberries from planting 600 square meters, and gained 8010 Farmer profession experience points."

Listening to the yield in the prompt, Shen Xingyan smiled faintly, and thought calmly in his heart:

"Today's wool-gathering plan is 99% complete. Next, it depends on what kind of reward the Star Origin World can give me to make up for that 1%!"

While waiting for the next breakthrough reward, Shen Xingyan opened the Star Origin Mall and separated all the agricultural products harvested this time.

Then, he sold the strawberries and branches and leaves that had been improved in quality after using the Black Soil, and obtained a total of 5 gold, 626 silver, and 500 copper coins.

At this time, the money in his wallet had once again broken through to 10 gold coins, reaching the standard for extracting Origin Energy attributes.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan didn't hesitate and extracted one point of Origin Energy limit to the real world.

When Shen Xingyan saw the wallet that was once again left with only one gold coin, he didn't feel any heartache. After all, money is only yours when it's spent.

He closed it with a smile and looked towards the sky, waiting for the arrival of the next Star Origin breakthrough reward.
