#229 - Chapter 229 Two Questions

"Could these monsters with such high attributes be caused by my Longevity Tree? Thinking about it, only it would have such treatment!"

Shen Xingyan couldn't help but guess in his heart, while also looking at the small spirit-ranked crop in the center of the farmland.

However, as he turned his head back to the battlefield inadvertently, he noticed that the monsters eliminated by the skeletons didn't disappear into a wisp of green smoke as he had previously seen, but instead surged into the bodies of the skeletons.

This discovery immediately piqued his interest: "Could this be the reason why I faintly sensed the excitement of the skeletons just now?"

Thinking of this, Shen Xingyan walked up to a monkey that was fighting with a skeleton and directly eliminated it with two punches, relying on his far superior attributes.

Checking at such close range, he saw that after the monkey died and turned into green smoke, a small portion entered the skeleton's body, while a large portion dissipated directly, and he didn't receive any experience boost.

This result made Shen Xingyan even more certain of his previous guess: his skeletons should be getting some kind of benefit from killing these invading monsters, otherwise they wouldn't be in such an excited state, but he wouldn't.

After figuring this out, he no longer intervened and just observed from the side, while also being ready to take action to prevent accidents.

However, in order to find out the influencing factors, he observed and repeatedly opened the skeletons' attribute panels to check, but no clues appeared, which forced him to temporarily abandon the exploration, thinking of asking Wangcai later to see if it could give an answer.

After waiting for a few minutes, Shen Xingyan saw that all the invading monsters had been eliminated by Wangcai and the others, and he then called Wangcai to his side to inquire:

"Wangcai, do you know when that kind of big monster first appeared?"

Regarding the first question, he wanted to use this information to determine whether his judgment was correct.

After hearing the master's question, Wangcai thought for a moment and then replied: "Big monster... yesterday... appeared."

Shen Xingyan nodded gently after seeing Wangcai's affirmative answer:

"Yesterday was the time after I harvested the Longevity Fruit and named the Longevity Tree. As expected, the attribute increase of the invading monsters is related to the Longevity Tree!"

According to the information provided by Wangcai, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but confirm in his heart:

"Probably the reason why this situation didn't occur before when the Longevity Tree was still a mutated seed was because it hadn't been officially named and wasn't in Xingyuan's records, so Xingyuan wouldn't send monsters with correspondingly high attributes to invade.

Thinking like this explains clearly why such powerful monsters suddenly appeared. After all, only a second-stage spirit-ranked Longevity Tree can attract such powerful monsters!

Fortunately, my skeletons have the Berserk skill, and coupled with the fact that these high-attribute monsters are not numerous, and under Wangcai's command, my skeletons can still kill the enemies without taking any damage!"

After analyzing the current situation clearly, Shen Xingyan was relieved and instructed:

"Wangcai, if you encounter something that you can't solve in the future, such as the monsters just now being too powerful for you to handle, remember to tell me, and remember that the first priority is to protect yourselves and not get hurt, understand?"

Shen Xingyan repeatedly instructed several times, and only felt relieved after seeing Wangcai obediently nodding.

Afterwards, he inquired about the matter of the green smoke transformed from the invading monsters entering their bodies, and Wangcai also gave a perceptual answer.

He pointed to his skull head with his hand bones and said: "Kill monsters... here... comfortable!"

Shen Xingyan's eyes lit up when he heard Wangcai say this and asked: "Did they enhance your soul origin?"

From the previous information about the Longevity Fruit, he knew that the skeletons all had their own soul origins, and now that Wangcai said this, he couldn't help but directly associate it with that.

However, Wangcai shook its head slightly, indicating that it didn't know either.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan didn't ask any further questions. Being able to get so much information was already a great gain for him.

As long as he was sure that this matter was a good thing for Wangcai and the others, that was enough.

Afterwards, he handed over the entire profession space to Wangcai, and after Wangcai replied with 'Guarantee to complete the mission', he returned to the real world.

Waking up from the bed, he felt exceptionally energetic. He first used the Clone Technique to produce Assassin No. 18, a clone with 23 points in all attributes, and let it go outside the realm to kill disasters according to the previous method.

As for him, he went directly to the underground training room and started the 'Power of Balance' training, steadily improving himself step by step.

After training for more than 1 hour, he saw that the skill progress had reached 74%, and then he stopped.

And started the daily entertainment project: cooking for the brother and sister, which is also one of Shen Xingyan's few leisure moments.

After breakfast, Shen Xingyan, who was immersed in the 'Power of Balance' training, had just begun to feel the feeling when the time came to 12 noon, and this time was also the time he planned to harvest strawberries.

After slowly stopping the training, he looked at the skill progress and it had reached 79.6%. He nodded in satisfaction, full of confidence in raising the 'Power of Balance' to level 11 today.

Afterwards, he went to the kitchen and ate something casually, slightly replenishing his energy, and then returned to the room, connecting his consciousness to the Xingyuan card and entering the Xingyuan world.

Arriving in the profession space, Shen Xingyan looked at the four acres of strawberry farmland in the farmland, knowing that in another four days, the peony wool-grabbing plan would begin.

This made him feel both reluctant to part with the strawberries and expectant of the peonies. After all, the strawberries had indeed given him huge surprises during this time, and it was reasonable to be reluctant.

The long-term peony indeed represents higher income and rewards, which can allow him to improve himself more quickly, which is also what he expects.

After temporarily putting these thoughts aside, Shen Xingyan came to the target strawberry farmland this time, and also held the Origin Staff in his right hand at the same time.

Wangcai, who was following beside him, quickly distributed the skeletons after seeing the master's actions. With a thought, all the skeletons began to move skillfully.

Before long, all the preparations were ready, and Shen Xingyan did not delay, removing one acre of white peony farmland from the target this time, selecting all the others, and then directly using his first profession skill, Crop Growth Progress + 10%!
