#227 - Chapter 227: Double the Energy Cultivation

Faced with the Star Origin maintenance notifications that were coming in droves, Wangcai, with its telepathic connection to its master, had already arranged for many skeletons to surround them when its master took out his staff, preparing to deal with the upcoming maintenance notifications.

However, as the notifications appeared, Shen Xingyan realized that they had underestimated the intensity of this maintenance; the original twenty-odd skeletons were not enough, and couldn't keep up with the speed at which the notifications appeared.

Wangcai, responsible for overall coordination, was also experienced and, based on the situation on the ground, directly increased the number of skeletons to 40, which finally brought the situation under control.

Shen Xingyan, who was watching from the side, saw that the second-stage Longevity Tree actually required a full 40 skeletons to work together, and immediately felt some pressure, shaking his head and sighing:

"The increase in workload is too great!

You know, before my skeletons were upgraded to 13 points in all attributes, the first-stage Longevity Tree only needed less than 20 small skeletons at this time to easily cope with maintenance notifications.

But now, dealing with the second-stage Longevity Tree actually requires nearly 40 skeletons with all attributes at 13, this increase is too exaggerated!

If future spirit-ranked crops are like this, then my current surplus of skeletons may be in short supply again, it seems that the pace of improving my talent skills cannot be relaxed!"

Thinking of this, Shen Xingyan also looked at the other farmlands used for薅羊毛 (hāo yáng máo - lit. 'fleecing the sheep', meaning to exploit loopholes for profit), at this stage he has 12 acres of farmland that can be used for薅羊毛, so the probability of talent stones appearing is greatly increased, which made his heart feel much more at ease.

Afterwards, he left this place to Wangcai, and he returned to the real world, and then began to practice the 'Power of Balance'.

He was very relieved with Wangcai in the Star Origin World, and besides, the real world was his foundation, and everything in the Star Origin World was to improve himself in the real world, he was very clear about this.

So as long as he had time, he would not slack off in the slightest and devote himself to improving his strength.

He maintained the practice of the 'Power of Balance' until 12 o'clock in the evening, increasing the skill progress to 72.5%, and then stopped, feeling a little tired, he returned to his room and went directly to the professional space to rest.

Lying on the ground in the professional space, Shen Xingyan briefly reviewed the gains of the day, and he felt quite stimulated by the great gains.

He had obtained two talent stones, one of which was intermediate, which greatly improved his talent skills, followed by the surprise of Wangcai being able to speak, and then the appearance of the mount.

His gains in this one day were stronger than most people's gains in a lifetime, which made him feel happy, but he did not dare to have any pride.

After all, the consequences of being carried away are common around him and in rumors, and he has understood the principle that a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime since he was a child.

In this state, Shen Xingyan activated the original energy cultivation function, set the time to 6 hours, and he, who was extremely exhausted, instantly entered a deep sleep.

However, after he fell asleep, with the influence of the 10x original energy cultivation speed, the entire professional space began to be filled with transparent small particles.

The number of small particles provided by the Longevity Tree was more than doubled compared to before.

Not only did the number of transparent original energy small particles double, but the number of light green small particles also doubled.

After the light green small particles entered Shen Xingyan's body, they frantically replenished and strengthened the potential of his real-world body through the connection of consciousness.

And this is also the fundamental reason why Shen Xingyan's 'Power of Balance' seems to be able to improve infinitely.

Originally, with the increase in Shen Xingyan's exercise intensity in the real world, even under the effect of 'balancing' everything, the improvement rate should have slowed down slightly.

However, due to the continuous replenishment and improvement of the important factor of his potential, the improvement rate did not show any sign of decreasing, but instead went further and further in an exaggerated direction.

At this time, Shen Xingyan, who was sleeping, was unaware of this. After comfortably spending 6 hours, he opened his eyes somewhat sleepily.

At the same time, the Star Origin prompt also appeared in front of him:

"Ding ~ Detected that your original energy factor has reached 1 point, your original energy limit will automatically increase by one point."

Seeing this prompt, Shen Xingyan opened the attribute panel in surprise, and at the same time thought to himself:

"Yesterday my original energy factor was only 0.1, right? This time I just slept, no, cultivated for 6 hours of original energy, how did it directly increase the original energy limit by one point?"

When he was excited and confused about this, the number displayed in the original energy column at this time made him even more surprised:

Original Energy: 227 / 227 (Original Energy Factor + 0.6)

"I not only got one point of original energy limit, but even got 0.5 more original energy factors, doesn't that mean that I only cultivated original energy for 6 hours and got 1.5 original energy factors? This... this is too crazy!

According to this progress, if I cultivate for 10 hours a day, wouldn't I be able to get more than 2 points of original energy limit out of thin air?"

After this idea appeared, Shen Xingyan stood up from the ground with a '噌' sound, knowing the key reason, he teleported to the Longevity Tree, staring at the Longevity Tree with a look of treasure, and whispered to the Longevity Tree:

"Just by virtue of your function, you can provide me with hundreds of points of original energy limit every year, how did the Star Origin World give you to me! It's really too kind to me!"

Thinking of the future improvements, Shen Xingyan couldn't stop the smile on his face.

But he didn't think about it, if it weren't for the existence of the black soil, and his own 10x cultivation acceleration, it would be impossible for the Longevity Tree to play such a role, and this was also his luck in the dark affecting him.

But at the moment, he was just immersed in this good thing that seemed to fall from the sky, and didn't delve into the reasons.

"Wangcai, take special care of this Longevity Tree in the future, this is a constant treasure!" After regaining his senses, Shen Xingyan quickly called Wangcai to his side and told him this important matter.

"Okay... Master!" Wangcai nodded very solemnly after knowing the importance his master attached to it.

After explaining, Shen Xingyan looked at Wangcai, who was so well-behaved, and thought that he didn't know how to reward them before, but now that Wangcai could communicate, he could ask them what they liked.
