#24 - Chapter 24 Planting Four Acres of Land Together
Looking at the attribute points given by Star Origin after leveling up, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but sigh: This feeling is indeed too addictive.
He saw that all four attributes had increased by one point. Strength, agility, and spirit had all reached 11 points, while constitution, due to the 1 point increase he had in the real world that was reflected in the Star Origin world, now stood at 12 points.
If Shen Xingyan had 60 gold coins right now, then the 6 attribute points gained from leveling up could all be extracted into the real world, completely surpassing the results he could achieve after a long time of hard training in the real world.
Shen Xingyan couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh, then stopped thinking about these things.
According to the current situation, although he earns money faster than the average combat profession, there is still a long way to go before he can extract attribute points, and it is not something to be rushed.
Then, he turned his gaze to the words "Cooldown Time -1%" behind the profession skill. The improvement of the skill was within his expectations, not very significant.
After all, it was just a small level increase. When he reaches level 10, there should be a larger improvement.
Looking at the 2 free attribute points granted by leveling up in the attribute bar, Shen Xingyan hesitated to allocate them.
His original plan was to add them to the constitution attribute, which would increase his stamina and lengthen the time he could work on the farm and "endure," but the three acres of farmland rewarded by Star Origin made him hesitate about allocating the points.
He couldn't help but turn his attention to the original energy attribute.
According to previous experience, casting a profession skill on one acre of land required 5 points of original energy, and now that he had four acres of farmland, it should theoretically require 20 points of original energy to achieve a perfect release.
But now he only had 18 points of original energy, which did not meet the required value, which would lead to a waste of land resources and no way to manage the four acres of farmland uniformly. Then, there was only one way to go: increase the original energy limit.
The school had also taught about ways to increase the original energy limit, and there were four ways to increase it:
The first is to increase automatically over time, basically 1 point of original energy limit is increased per year. This increase is synchronized between the Star Origin world and the real world, and is the most basic type.
The second is that after the profession level is raised to level 10, Star Origin will give an increase in the original energy limit. Each subsequent level increase after level 10 will also give a corresponding increase, but this increase only exists in the Star Origin world. If you want to increase it in the real world, you can only spend money to extract it.
The third is to go to the Star Origin Mall to buy it at a high price, or obtain rare treasures that can increase the original energy limit through killing monsters, Star Origin rewards, etc., so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the original energy limit.
The fourth is to add free attribute points to the original energy attribute, thereby increasing the original energy limit.
Now Shen Xingyan was considering this fourth situation, and the reason why he was so hesitant was because of his profession.
Due to the extremely long cooldown time of the farmer profession's skills, the dependence on original energy is not as strong as that of combat professions. This is true in the Star Origin world, and even more so in the real world.
If it weren't for the three acres of land rewarded by Star Origin, Shen Xingyan would not have even needed to have this idea.
However, in the foreseeable future, he should not be short of gold coins. At that time, extracting attributes into the real world would be more practical than extracting original energy into the real world.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Xingyan finally decided to add the free attribute points to original energy. After all, compared to the possible future, he still felt that he should seize the present.
Even if there were losses, it would only be two attribute points at most, and he could improve them through exercise in the real world, which he could still bear.
Shen Xingyan made up his mind and no longer hesitated. He directly clicked the plus sign behind the original energy twice, and the original energy changed from the original 18/18 to 20/20.
Seeing that the attribute points were allocated, Shen Xingyan did not delay. He waved his hand and opened the Star Origin Mall, finding the area for level 1 seeds.
All the level 1 seeds were displayed in front of Shen Xingyan in order: carrots, white radishes, Chinese cabbage, wheat.
Looking at the four types of seeds listed, Shen Xingyan did not hesitate and still chose wheat seeds.
Wheat belongs to the longest growth period among the four types of level 1 seeds, and the value generated after harvest is correspondingly the greatest.
Vegetables such as carrots, white radishes, and Chinese cabbage have a short growth period of only 3 days. Not only is there no way to fully utilize the advantages of Shen Xingyan's profession skills, but it is also too difficult to use them to break the record in the Star Origin world.
After all, the current advanced farmer professionals have the blessing of their ultra-high planting speed, and the length of time they stay in the Star Origin world is not comparable to Shen Xingyan. It is unlikely that they can break the records they have created on these three types of short-term crops.
Moreover, Wangcai and other small skeletons have adapted to the wheat planting environment, and there is no need to change to other seeds for the time being.
Shen Xingyan selected the seeds needed for four acres of land and clicked to buy, but found that he needed to pay 280 copper coins, and this was even after a 30% discount.
"If it weren't for the wheat seeds that Star Origin gave at the beginning, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to afford the money to buy seeds!" Shen Xingyan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Then he searched for hoe and sickle tools:
Item: Hoe
Attribute: Attack +1
Durability: 10/10
Value: 10 copper
A necessary tool for the farmer profession.
Item: Sickle
Attribute: Attack +1
Durability: 10/10
Value: 10 copper
A necessary tool for the farmer profession.
Seeing that the hoes and sickles were not too expensive, Shen Xingyan bought 15 of each, spending 300 copper coins, preparing them for the little skeletons to use, and the extra ones were reserved for future use.
Although these tools do not have the durability limit like his own set, Shen Xingyan did not feel that they were too expensive for the current him.
Distributing the hoes and seeds to Wangcai and other skeletons, Shen Xingyan and Wangcai began to teach the other four skeletons how to sow. Not knowing if they had gotten used to doing farm work or what, this teaching was exceptionally smooth.
In less than two minutes, the four new skeletons began to work in a decent manner, and the sowing project for the four acres of land officially entered the construction stage.
Including Shen Xingyan, their seven laborers spent nearly two hours successfully completing the sowing of wheat on these four acres of land.
Shen Xingyan spent 100 copper coins from the Star Origin Mall to buy 20 buckets and placed them next to the well for the little skeletons to use in the future.
With the seven laborers working at the same time, they finished irrigating the entire cultivated land in less than ten minutes. Shen Xingyan then walked to the side of the well, took out his novice staff, selected the entire cultivated area as the target, and then activated the profession skill.
As all the original energy in his body began to surge within him, Shen Xingyan felt the fluctuations brought about by the flow of original energy more clearly than ever before, and he also had some insights in his mind.
It's a pity that he is not a combat profession. Otherwise, with this kind of insight, he could probably deal a few more points of damage when killing monsters.
