#217 - Chapter 217 Mutant Crops Mature

After seeing that there was no movement with the mutated crops, Shen Xingyan slowly turned his gaze towards Wangcai and the others.

Upon close inspection, he discovered that all the little skeletons not only had their attribute panels changed to a value of 8 for all attributes, but their height had also increased somewhat.

Shen Xingyan called Wangcai over and stood next to him, seeing that Wangcai had already reached his chest and was becoming more and more 'mature.' He nodded in satisfaction.

"With the growth rate of these little skeletons, after I improve my talent a few more times, they should be about the same height as me.

But that's good too. Although they've lost some of their cuteness, it will be much more convenient for them to work. In the future, if we encounter long-cycle, high-stalk crops, we won't have to consider the height issue."

Shen Xingyan thought to himself as he took Wangcai to the central field, waiting together for the final few minutes of the mutated crop's maturation.

At this moment, there were no maintenance or harvest prompts appearing above the mutated crop in front of him. Everything seemed very calm.

The mutated crop had also transformed from its initial seedling form into its current, increasingly mature state.

However, its height did not reach the height of a tree at all, only reaching Shen Xingyan's waist. If it weren't for its extraordinary performance and attribute description, it would probably be mistaken for a tall weed.

Shen Xingyan crouched down and carefully examined the details of the entire plant.

He found that the leaf patterns on the plant were quite complex, significantly different from the regular patterns of other plants. Each leaf was like a ghost's drawing, with no discernible pattern.

Moreover, each leaf was not completely identical, as if each leaf had its own personality.

A pile of flamboyant leaves combined with bizarre and awkward branches formed the mutated crop in front of him. From an aesthetic point of view, its beauty was somewhat unbearable to look at. If someone uninformed saw it, they would probably just shovel it away.

"You can't judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for trees. Moreover, judging from its previous performance, this unassuming little fellow has a lot of energy inside. Otherwise, my origin energy cultivation speed couldn't have increased so quickly!

But it's almost reached its 100-day growth cycle. Why isn't there any sign of fruit on the entire plant? Could it be that this time it's just purely improving its grade and won't produce any fruit, making me waste my time!"

Shen Xingyan murmured softly as he squatted there, observing the mutated crop. He was a little unsure about this mutated plant.

Just like that, the last few minutes before the mutated crop fully matured passed under his watchful gaze. The mutated crop, which had been calm for a long time, finally reacted with the arrival of the maturation time.

A bright but not dazzling sphere slowly condensed at its top, emitting an aura that made people feel incredibly亲切.

Shen Xingyan, who was observing it up close, felt warm and a strong desire for this sphere arose from the depths of his heart.

Wangcai on the side also felt this aura. The instinctual impulse made it take a step forward unconsciously.

If it weren't because these things belonged to its master, it would have rushed forward to snatch it. At such a close distance, the attraction of the light sphere was too great for Wangcai, who had already developed consciousness.

Even so, the dark blue幽光 constantly emanated from its dark, hollow skull eye sockets, expressing that its mood was not calm at this time.

After feeling this aura, the other little skeletons all looked over unconsciously. An instinctual feeling made them maintain their gaze there, unwilling to turn away for a long time.

Shen Xingyan, who was previously worried about wasting his time, completely dispelled this doubt.

After noticing the abnormality of the little skeletons, combined with his own feelings just now, he felt that the light sphere in front of him was even more extraordinary!

"What kind of thing is it that would cause me and the little skeletons to have this feeling? What is this desire from the depths of my heart?"

At this moment, Shen Xingyan's curiosity and doubt had reached their peak, and the look in his eyes as he looked at the light sphere became even more fervent.

A dozen seconds later, the gentle light of the sphere slowly dissipated, and a fist-sized sphere appeared in front of Shen Xingyan.

The complexity of the patterns on its surface made his first impression be that it was densely packed. Looking at it carefully would even cause a slight feeling of dizziness.

At the same time, a prompt from the Star Origin World to harvest appeared above the mutated plant.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan also withdrew his gaze from the sphere, thinking to himself, "It only took 100 days to bear such a fruit? Coupled with the magical feeling just now, this fruit is truly extraordinary!"

Shen Xingyan stabilized his mind and then slowly reached out and picked it off.

Looking at the sphere in his hand, before Shen Xingyan could check what its attributes were, the harvest prompt from the Star Origin World appeared:

"Congratulations, your harvest from planting 600 square meters of mutated crops is 2.46 kilograms, and you have received 246,000 Farmer profession experience points."

Originally, Shen Xingyan was a little dissatisfied that the Star Origin's prompt interrupted him from checking the sphere's attributes, but after seeing the string of '0's in this prompt, he was immediately surprised and opened his mouth wide, looking at the prompt with a face full of shock!

"No way, is it... is it that exaggerated? Just harvesting a small sphere gave me so much experience!

240,000 experience points, that's enough for me to level up several times! Are beginner spiritual-grade crops that terrifying?"

Shen Xingyan, who was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, couldn't help but exclaim loudly. Then, he looked at the culprit in front of him and quickly checked the attributes of the sphere.

Item: Unknown (Perfect+), can be named

Value: 123 gold coins

Quantity: 1

Attributes: After consumption, the user can increase their lifespan by 2.46 years. Undead can increase their soul origin by 2.46 stars (sharing is ineffective).

Remarks: A fruit condensed from the power of the Star Origin and the power of life, with infinite effects.

Looking at the description of the spherical fruit, Shen Xingyan's heart was filled with stormy waves, and his eyes widened even more.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the word "longevity", and no other thoughts arose!

It wasn't until the Star Origin's prompt sounded again that he broke free from this thought. He looked at the Star Origin's prompt with a somewhat dazed expression:

"Ding~ It has been detected that your mutated crops have been harvested. Please name the crop."
