#43 - Chapter 43 You Deserve It
Shen Xingyan prepared himself mentally for a long time before he could accept this shocking fact.
He simply let his entire body fall backward, then crashed heavily onto the ground, exclaiming how wonderful and exciting life after awakening was!
The little skeletons working in the field heard the noise and instinctively moved to protect Shen Xingyan.
Seeing the little skeletons gathering around him, Shen Xingyan smiled happily and waved them back to work.
Shen Xingyan checked the cooldown time of his profession skill and set up a corresponding reminder in the Star Origin World, then drifted off to sleep with beautiful fantasies.
After a day of training, coupled with the highly tense emotions he'd just experienced, and that exciting number, the emotional rollercoaster left him mentally exhausted.
He had barely closed his eyes when he fell into a deep sleep.
Little did he know that this "culprit" had infuriated an influential clan uncle of the well-known Liu family in the central district!
"Useless! A bunch of useless things! You can't even catch a low-level rat! What good are you? Truly useless!"
At this moment, a man who looked to be in his forties was berating the group of people standing before him in a condescending tone.
Upon closer inspection, this group was the same group of men in black who had appeared at the border a few hours earlier.
"Clan Uncle, it's not our fault! By the time you discovered it, who knows how long had passed!
We did our best to track it down based on some clues.
What could we do if you wasted time and it escaped beyond the border?"
The burly man who had appeared at the border earlier now wore an indifferent expression, speaking to the clan uncle in a nonchalant tone.
The burly man looked at his clan uncle's face, outwardly indifferent but inwardly filled with disdain:
"Tch, an old geezer in his eighties, still spending a fortune to make himself look as young as his son.
How shameless! He should use that money to improve his strength instead of acting like a sissy.
It's disgusting to watch.
If you weren't a generation older than me, with your meager strength, I would have kicked you out long ago.
It's just your good luck that you were born in that newly stabilized era, and the family fully supported you in becoming an advanced pharmacist, hoping you could provide significant resources to the family.
In this day and age, someone with your poor profession skills and talent would probably have been thrown beyond the border to fend for themselves.
The most regrettable thing is that you actually spent 10,000 gold coins to buy a Bodhi Leaf for your newly awakened good-for-nothing grandson! How audacious!
That's 10,000 gold coins! Enough for the family to extract a thousand attribute points! Wasted on your good-for-nothing grandson who only knows how to eat, drink, and be merry! It's infuriating!"
Although the burly man wanted to say these words directly, he refrained from doing so.
After all, this money-making tool still held some prestige within the family, and speaking out would be more trouble than it was worth.
He could only mutter to himself inwardly.
"Is that an excuse? Is that an excuse! Get out! All of you, get out!" Hearing this, the clan uncle, as the burly man called him, became even more enraged, especially with the burly man's indifferent expression, which made his already agitated mood even worse.
He had originally intended to use the rat to give his precious grandson some real-world practice, but who knew that the rat's innate skill would be a space-based skill like "Blink?"
It not only stole the surprise he had prepared for his grandson, the Bodhi Leaf, but also managed to escape.
That money was his "lifeblood" of several decades! Gone in an instant! His heart felt like it was truly bleeding.
Upon hearing this, the burly man ignored him and left with his subordinates, grumbling under his breath as he walked.
"Serves you right for not doing anything decent all day long.
How many young girls have you harmed under the guise of research all these years?
You old pervert, I spit on you!"
The clan uncle's strength naturally allowed him to hear the burly man's grumbling.
Enraged and ashamed, he immediately stepped forward to display his seniority, but after taking a few steps, he stopped.
The burly man was an outstanding member of the Liu family's younger generation.
As long as they maintained appearances, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Moreover, arguing about the facts would only ruin his reputation.
Although he was annoyed, he felt it wasn't worth it.
Although the Liu family clan uncle thought this way, he couldn't vent the frustration in his heart.
Losing money and having his secrets exposed, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Finally, his vision went black, and he almost fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, a quick-witted servant supported him, preventing him from embarrassing himself in public.
At this time, Shen Xingyan, who was dreaming sweetly in the planting space, was completely unaware of this.
As the Star Origin reminder he had set earlier sounded in his ears, he woke up from his sleep.
Sitting up, he stretched slightly, feeling refreshed in both body and mind.
Checking the attribute panel, he saw that the cooldown time for his profession skill was only a few seconds away from ending.
He quickly perked up and stood up, taking his staff in hand with a thought.
Seeing the cooldown timer reach zero, Shen Xingyan began to chant softly.
Twenty-five points of Origin Energy began to gather from within his body onto the staff.
As the chanting finished, the energy poured out, instantly covering the entire field.
The wheat and potato seedlings, which had already turned lush green after a day of growth, seemed to be fast-forwarded.
Each plant was desperately growing upward, and the soil that was barely visible before was instantly covered.
Shen Xingyan finished casting the spell, but all the crops did not stop growing.
They continued for nearly half a minute before all the crops stopped "fast-forwarding" and returned to their normal growth rate.
However, the "battle" between Shen Xingyan and the little skeletons had just begun, as the Star Origin reminders began to appear rapidly.
The twelve laborers, already standing ready, immediately sprung into action.
Shen Xingyan led three little skeletons to prioritize dealing with the reminders in the central area's one-acre wheat field.
The remaining skeletons, led by Wang Cai, formed pairs, with each pair responsible for one acre of land.
With such a clear division of labor, the Star Origin reminders were being eliminated at an extremely fast rate, and the frequency of basic reminders also began to slow down under their efforts.
Just as Shen Xingyan thought that today would continue at this pace, a new reminder suddenly appeared in the sky above the wheat field, causing all the laborers, including Shen Xingyan, to freeze in place.
