#20 - Chapter 20 The Third Skeleton Appears

"My physique actually increased by one point! It seems that the training these past two days has been effective. The teachers were right when they said that we need to build a solid foundation before awakening so that we can improve faster later on!" Shen Xingyan was a little excited.

Although it was just a simple increase in stats, it seemed insignificant compared to Chu Wei, who gained six stat points per level.

But for Shen Xingyan at this stage, this one stat point increase was enough to show him the meaning of training in the real world, and that was enough.

There aren't many things in this world where effort is rewarded, and training is one of them. This is a truth that Shen Xingyan knew very early on, and it is also a major internal motivation for him to consistently rank among the top students in the school.

Moreover, according to the knowledge previously taught by the school, the attribute points he improves through training in reality are synchronized with the Star Origin World.

This means that his physique in the Star Origin World has also increased to 11 points. However, using money to extract the attributes of the Star Origin World into the real world doesn't have the same effect; 11 points remain 11 points.

If he levels up in the Star Origin World, he can only spend money to extract the attributes to keep his real-world stats consistent.

After a moment of excitement, the long-accumulated drowsiness swept over him like a fierce disaster. Within seconds, Shen Xingyan's room fell into a state of tranquility.

At this time, only his steady breathing and the ticking of the clock could be heard in the room, and there were no other sounds.

At this moment, in the Star Origin Space, inside Shen Xingyan's planting space, two small skeletons were at one end of the wheat field, raising their skull heads and quietly looking towards the sky above the wheat field, waiting for the new instruction icon from the Star Origin.

However, unlike the small skeletons, Wang Cai was not standing there rigidly, staring at the sky without moving. Instead, it glanced up from time to time, and the entire skeleton was sitting on the ground.

The sight of one skeleton standing and the other sitting would instinctively make people feel that Wang Cai was smarter.

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that Wang Cai's sitting posture gave off a strange feeling, as if it was deliberately imitating, with a hint of being a poor imitation.

This state lasted for a while, until a new prompt icon reappeared in the sky above the wheat field. Only then did Wang Cai stand up and walk towards the wheat field, while the small skeletons slowly followed behind it, without the slightest intention of moving forward.

Three hours later, Shen Xingyan was awakened by the alarm clock he had set. Still drowsy, he forced himself to cheer up, got out of bed, went to the kitchen, grabbed a steamed bun, and ate it.

Then, he quickly lay back on the bed, placed the Star Origin Card on his forehead again, connected to the Black Card with his consciousness, and entered the Star Origin World once more.

Everything went black, and when Shen Xingyan opened his eyes again, he found himself in his planting space.

With Shen Xingyan's appearance, Wang Cai and the small skeletons trembled, as if they had been stimulated by something, but unconsciously, they didn't notice anything unusual.

Through a subtle connection, they sensed Shen Xingyan's arrival and immediately put down their farm work, approaching Shen Xingyan.

This time, Shen Xingyan naturally wouldn't be scared off by the movements of the two skeletons like yesterday. Instead, he looked at the two small skeletons walking towards him, covered in traces of labor, and nodded in satisfaction.

He looked up, observing the wheat field that had already transformed, and his mood became particularly cheerful.

When the two skeletons walked to his side, Shen Xingyan had them stand by his side, and then directly used his talent skill: Summon Skeleton.

After a set of increasingly familiar chants, the third small skeleton also appeared in his space.

The third skeleton in front of him was somewhat different from the previous two. If Wang Cai and the second small skeleton were of the rusty type, then this one looked a little cleaner and felt a little sturdier.

Shen Xingyan's heart stirred slightly, and he checked its attributes with a gleam in his eyes.

However, after Shen Xingyan finished checking its attributes, there was no surprise at all. It still had 1 point in all attributes, which made him, who had hoped for a miracle, feel as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

"I'm really too greedy. I've already used two such heaven-defying skills, and I'm still thinking about whether other good things will happen. This is too 'greedy'."

Shen Xingyan shook his head with a sigh, and conducted a profound self-judgment on his subconscious thoughts.

"Wang Cai, this small skeleton will also be your team member from now on. You are in charge of managing it. I hope you can guide it well," Shen Xingyan said with a smile, gently patting Wang Cai's skull head.

Then, he handed the skeleton over to Wang Cai and instructed Wang Cai to train the new skeleton on how to do farm work while working.

Looking at the icons in the sky above the farmland, Shen Xingyan and the skeletons quickly eliminated the prompts. By this time, the cooldown time for Shen Xingyan's professional skill had also been completed.

Standing in the very center of the wheat field, Shen Xingyan silently chanted to activate his professional skill. A familiar surge of primal energy flowed through his body, and the staff he had equipped emitted a strange wave, instantly enveloping the entire wheat field.

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

And the parts of the crops that could already be called wheat began to swell rapidly, and the prototype of the wheat grains began to slowly appear.

However, the careful Shen Xingyan discovered that the wheat grains on each ear of wheat were almost twice as many as those in the books. This discovery made the smile on Shen Xingyan's lips more and more obvious.

This indicated that the harvest the day after tomorrow should be much higher than the highest yield per acre recorded in the books. How could he not be delighted?

Gently stroking the surrounding wheat, and looking at this acre of wheat field full of hope for a good harvest, each wheat plant seemed to be showing Shen Xingyan its uniqueness and thanking Shen Xingyan for taking care of them.

This made him feel a strong sense of accomplishment, and his somewhat tired spirit and body were instantly filled with motivation.

With the casting of the professional skill, the prompt icons in the wheat field began to appear rapidly. However, Shen Xingyan was not flustered at all, and he led the three skeletons to conquer these prompts, which were no longer a threat.

With four laborers taking care of one acre of land at the same time, the increase in efficiency was not just a little bit. The prompts from the Star Origin often appeared not long before they were quickly resolved by Shen Xingyan and the skeletons, causing the prompts from the Star Origin to be updated every few minutes.

This continued for nearly two hours. Shen Xingyan clearly felt that the prompts from the Star Origin had begun to slow down. Another hour later, there was no need to feel it anymore, because they already needed to wait for a while before new prompts appeared.

Only at this time did Shen Xingyan walk out of the wheat field, lie down at one end of the wheat field, gently close his eyes, and fall asleep, while the wheat field was entirely handed over to Wang Cai and the skeletons.

At this time, Wang Cai and the skeletons could completely cope with the speed at which the prompts appeared, and they even had time to stand beside Shen Xingyan for a while, as if they were instinctively protecting him.

If it weren't for Shen Xingyan's instructions, they would probably have stayed by Shen Xingyan's side all the time, adhering to their instincts.
