#309 - Chapter 309 Lovely Stone

As Shen Xingyan activated his first professional skill, a large amount of his internal Origin Energy was mobilized. After the magical transformation of the professional skill and the precise adjustment of the skill intensity controller, the Origin Energy condensed at the tip of the Origin Staff.

At the same time, a notification from Xingyuan, his old friend, chimed:

"Ding~ It has been detected that you are using a professional skill on partially mature crops. The application of this skill may result in failure for these crops. Do you wish to continue?"

Seeing this notification, Shen Xingyan began to pray without hesitation, hoping for success this time.

Although the failure of the skill application in the morning had already proven that this prayer was not 100% effective, he still did it. For him, any increase in the probability of success, no matter how small, was a glimmer of hope.

After all, this concerned his great undertaking of breaking records. He felt that it was better to be cautious.

After completing this set of prayer procedures, Shen Xingyan slowly nodded, indicating his confirmation to continue the application.

All of the Origin Energy was instantly applied to the target crops, causing them to sway slightly.

After a few seconds, Xingyuan's skill notification appeared before Shen Xingyan's eyes:

"Congratulations, you have successfully applied your professional skill. Farmer profession experience +1."

Seeing that the farmland had returned to its stable performance after the 'special' notification in the morning, Shen Xingyan's mood immediately lightened a lot.

"It's good that it was successful. The farmland is my foundation, and I can't afford to have too many mistakes. Next, let's see what kind of rewards I'll get!

I hope Xingyuan can reward me with more Luck. This attribute is becoming increasingly important to me. If I want to break records with Spirit-ranked seeds in the future like I am now, a low Luck stat probably won't cut it," Shen Xingyan muttered with a smile.

After the skill notification appeared, all the farmland began to grow rapidly. Furthermore, because Shen Xingyan had adjusted the skill effect intensity for each acre of farmland, some only had a 1% increase, while others reached a maximum of 12.3%, varying considerably.

This caused some crops to grow rapidly, while others grew slowly, or even insignificantly.

Shen Xingyan didn't mind this. Although doing so wasted some of the professional skill's effect, compared to the rewards gained from breaking records, delaying the harvest of the crops for a short period didn't have much of an impact on him.

After admiring the changes in the crops for a dozen seconds, as the skill effect ended, the farmland before him returned to normal. After a moment of slight calm, massive maintenance notifications suddenly appeared in the sky above the farmland.

Naturally, Shen Xingyan didn't worry too much about this, as he had Wangcai and the others ready to work at any time.

He simply turned his gaze to the two acres of target farmland this time. Seeing that 'Mature and Ready to Harvest' icons had appeared above them, he didn't delay and directly used 'Object Manipulation' to cover all the mature peonies with Origin Energy.

With a slight movement of his mind, all the peonies floated completely intact in mid-air. Under Shen Xingyan's mental control, they surged towards his backpack space.

At the same time, Xingyuan's harvest notification appeared before his eyes:

"Congratulations, you have harvested 600 square meters of peonies, with a yield of 640 kilograms, and gained 51,200 Farmer profession experience points."

Shen Xingyan, who was guiding the peonies into his backpack space, glanced at the yield this time and, finding that it was not much different from what he had envisioned, a smile appeared on his face. He knew that breaking the record this time was stable!

Then, he increased the output of Origin Energy in 'Object Manipulation' to achieve the purpose of rapid harvesting.

In the past, he would have had to calculate the Origin Energy consumption and wouldn't dare to use it too recklessly. But now, with the existence of the 'Origin Energy Condensation' skill, he didn't have to worry about the consumption of Origin Energy at all.

Under the effect of this enhanced version of 'Object Manipulation,' Shen Xingyan only spent a few seconds to put all 640 kilograms of peonies into his backpack space.

After putting away 'Object Manipulation,' he opened the attribute panel and looked at the experience points in the experience bar: 278838 / 400000

"Now I already have 280,000 experience points. When I finish harvesting the white peonies next, I estimate that I can reach 320,000. So, I only need 80,000 more experience points to level up again.

Even if the profession completely fails once tomorrow, I can definitely meet this requirement!" Shen Xingyan analyzed with a smile.

Then, he looked up at the sky of Xingyuan, standing quietly in place, waiting for the reward notification for breaking the peony record this time.

Although Shen Xingyan's repeated behavior of exploiting Xingyuan's world did have the suspicion of exploiting loopholes, the Xingyuan world had no intention of delaying his rewards. When the time came, Xingyuan's record-breaking notification automatically appeared in this professional space:

"Congratulations, you have broken the current record you created of 625 kilograms of peonies per acre, successfully reaching 640 kilograms.

You are specially rewarded with a Talent Skill Growth Stone and an additional 600 square meters of arable land. Xingyuan will make a server-wide announcement. Do you want to disclose your information?"

When Shen Xingyan noticed that the rewards this time were not Luck, but a Talent Stone and arable land, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise into a smiling arc.

These two 'golden partners' of his had appeared once again, which was also what he most wanted to see, after all, these were the fundamentals of his strength improvement.

Talent Stones could comprehensively improve his labor force, and the increase in arable land was equivalent to an upgrade accelerator, allowing him to level up his profession faster.

Very satisfied with this reward, Shen Xingyan naturally gave Xingyuan World 100 silver coins as a 'hush fee' and accepted these two rewards.

After arranging the rewarded arable land, he opened his backpack space and looked at the stone that shone with a charming black light. While using the 'Origin Energy Condensation' skill, he walked happily towards the acre of mature white peony farmland.

When the Origin Energy in his body had recovered almost completely, he once again used 'Object Manipulation' to pull all the mature white peonies out of the black soil.

Then, Xingyuan's harvest notification reappeared in the sky above the farmland:

"Congratulations, you have harvested 600 square meters of white peonies, with a yield of 530 kilograms, and gained 39,750 Farmer profession experience points."
