#228 - Chapter 228 Monkey

"Wangcai, if there's anything you like, or anything you need? Just tell your master!" Shen Xingyan waved his hand grandly, speaking with great generosity.

Wangcai thought for a moment, then shook its skull head in confusion, while a voice echoed in Shen Xingyan's mind: "Wangcai... doesn't know."

Shen Xingyan could understand this answer. After all, Wangcai's intelligence had developed here with him, and it knew nothing about the place it originally came from, so naturally, it wouldn't know what it needed.

Moreover, although Wangcai's intelligence had improved, it was still a distance away from true thought, and desires were even more impossible.

However, just as Shen Xingyan was thinking this, Wangcai seemed to think of something, pointing to the Longevity Tree and saying, "Likes... its... fruit!"

After saying that, it seemed to have completed its task, and looked at Shen Xingyan.

Upon hearing Wangcai's words, Shen Xingyan froze in place, unsure of what expression to make.

He even felt that his voice just now had sounded somewhat arrogant and that he had underestimated Wangcai too much.

Then, he said to Wangcai with a wry smile, "Wangcai, I can't give you this fruit for now. Your master still has great use for it. Can you think of anything else?"

Hearing its master say this, Wangcai's mood didn't drop at all. Instead, it obediently shook its head, indicating that there was nothing else.

After all, when it gave that answer just now, it was simply to answer its master's question and didn't truly desire the Longevity Fruit.

Although that fruit did hold a primal temptation for it, it knew even better that it belonged to its master and was not something it could covet!

Seeing Wangcai's behavior, Shen Xingyan felt gratified and quickly said, "Don't worry, Wangcai. Although I can't give you this fruit for now, there will definitely be a chance in the future. Trust me!"

As he spoke, a confident look appeared on Shen Xingyan's face. After experiencing a series of unimaginable events, he was full of confidence in the future!

Then, he directly purchased a set of non-durable farmer's equipment from the Star Origin Mall and equipped Wangcai with it, as a down payment on his promise.

When Wangcai saw that its outfit was exactly the same as its master's, it immediately jumped up and down happily, while gratefully thanking Shen Xingyan in his mind with cheerful emotions: "Thank you... Master!"

Hearing this, Shen Xingyan smiled gently. He liked Wangcai even more for being so easily satisfied!

Then, he didn't stay here any longer and prepared to return to the real world to begin today's 'Force of Balance' training.

However, just as his mind was about to leave, Star Origin's prompt appeared before his eyes:

"Ding~ Detected an invasive alien species in your planting space. Please deal with it in a timely manner to avoid significant losses!"

Seeing this prompt, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but frown slightly. It had been a while since he encountered this type of Star Origin maintenance mission involving monster invasions.

Now that he suddenly encountered such a thing, he was also curious whether the current invading little monsters had undergone any changes due to the牡丹 (mǔdān, peony) and 白芍 (báisháo, white peony) he had planted.

Just as Shen Xingyan was thinking this, the skeletons working in the farmland immediately began to surge towards the direction the monsters were coming from.

Wangcai also paused slightly, looking as if it was facing a formidable enemy, and went directly to the front to command the battle.

Seeing Wangcai and the others behaving like this, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"The previous little rabbit attributes are simply not worth mentioning to the current skeleton legion. It's basically a side job.

Even if new little monsters appeared due to the existence of the 牡丹 (mǔdān, peony) and 白芍 (báisháo, white peony), and their attributes were also improved to some extent, it shouldn't cause Wangcai and the others, whose overall attributes are 13 points, to react like this."

As Shen Xingyan thought this, his gaze also turned to the little monsters that were invading this time. After clearly seeing the scale of the monsters invading this time, he couldn't help but frown.

It could be seen that among the invading monsters this time, there were not only rabbits but also another type of monster: monkeys.

And what made him feel strange was that there were actually two types of monkeys this time, one was a small monkey, and the other was a normal-sized monkey.

Moreover, judging from their body size, it was known that their attributes would not be too low.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan, worried about any unexpected events, also teleported to the front of the skeletons, while checking the attributes of these monkeys:

Name: Little Monkey

Strength: 6 points

Agility: 7 points

Constitution: 6 points

Spirit: 6 points

Health: 60 / 60 points

Physical Attack: 6 points

Magical Attack: 6 points

Defense: 6 points

Speed: 7 points

Looking at the attributes of these little monkeys, Shen Xingyan didn't care much. Although their attributes were improved compared to the rabbits, they couldn't threaten Wangcai and the others at all.

But when he looked at the dozen or so 'giant monkeys' that were obviously much larger, he frowned slightly:

Name: Monkey

Strength: 14 points

Agility: 14 points

Constitution: 12 points

Spirit: 11 points

Health: 120 / 120 points

Physical Attack: 14 points

Magical Attack: 11 points

Defense: 12 points

Speed: 14 points

The attributes of these monkeys could actually cause some damage to Wangcai and the others. The magnitude of this attribute increase surprised him and also made him very upset.

After all, 14 points of strength could already cause damage to the skeletons he summoned. This kind of risky thing made him feel a sense of crisis.

"What's going on? How can there be such high-attribute invading monsters? These attributes are already higher than those level 1 and 2 wild monsters!

If the attributes of the invading monsters continue to increase like this in the future, won't my farmland inevitably be destroyed sooner or later?"

While Shen Xingyan was frowning and thinking, Wangcai had already arranged for a dozen skeletons to use the 'Berserk Skill' to specifically deal with those high-attribute monkeys.

The overall attributes of the skeletons after berserking had reached 26 points, which was quite easy to deal with these monkeys.

Shen Xingyan even felt a sense of excitement from the consciousness connection with those skeletons.

Although he didn't know why the skeletons would have such emotions, Shen Xingyan felt very relieved to see that Wangcai could decisively use the berserk skill on a dozen skeletons.

Feeling relieved, he left the battlefield entirely to Wangcai and the others to handle, while he walked aside to observe, while thinking about the reason for the increase in monster attributes.
