#54 - Chapter 54 Record-breaking Conjecture

Inside the planting space, Shen Xingyan appeared and saw the little skeletons working diligently. This tranquil, natural, and seemingly leisurely farming scene made him feel very comfortable.

His appearance, as usual, attracted the attention of Wangcai and the other little skeletons.

Under the gaze of the little skeletons, Shen Xingyan nodded slightly, signaling them to continue their work.

He himself went to the farmland to check the growth of the crops and make necessary adjustments, preparing in advance for the rapid growth that would result from using his professional skills.

While checking, Shen Xingyan walked to Wangcai's side, gently pressed its head with the small straw hat, and smiled slightly:

"My Captain Wangcai, you've really worked hard, managing the farm so well. You are truly my lucky star! It seems I still need to work harder and give you more subordinates, so you can become a real skeleton captain!"

Even though he knew Wangcai definitely couldn't hear his words, he said it with a gentle smile.

Afterward, he continued to check the growth of the surrounding crops.

At this time, the crops in the farmland had already experienced two increases of 10% in growth progress, as well as two days of natural growth.

For wheat, it had been growing for 4 days, completing two-fifths of its total growth progress. It was now in the stage of forming ears, and its growth looked very promising.

As for potatoes, which have a growth period of 20 days, they had already been growing for 6 days, completing three-tenths of the progress.

The potato seedlings now presented a lush scene, and presumably their roots had already begun to develop in the direction of forming potatoes.

Shen Xingyan was very satisfied with the current situation. The wheat would mature in another two days, and the potatoes would be ready for harvest in nearly five days. The time to test his previous guesses would then arrive.

In order to break the Star Origin World record and obtain a reward, he had privately investigated the actual circumstances of those who had previously broken records.

He discovered that the rewards obtained by those record-breakers were completely incomparable to his own, and most of them were short-term crops. Crops like wheat, with a growth period of ten days, were rare.

It seemed that the Star Origin World had its own record standard. After all, there were so many professionals, and there would always be someone who was the first to try something new.

From this, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but speculate that the longer the growth cycle of a crop, the more generous the reward would be after successfully breaking a standard set by the Star Origin World and reaching a new record.

If this were really the case, then it would be great news for him!

This idea could be verified in the remaining few days, which made him start to look forward to it!

While Shen Xingyan was checking the crops with satisfaction, Wangcai tilted its little skeleton head and glanced at its owner. Seeing that the owner had not issued new instructions, it continued to work.

After Shen Xingyan checked the growth of the crops, he saw that there was still some time before the professional skill cooldown was complete, so he began to stroll around the farmland, looking like a landlord inspecting his territory.

He also occasionally greeted some of the other little skeletons, regardless of whether they could understand him or not, giving them some words of encouragement and then showing an attitude of a leader caring for his subordinates, before going to find the next little skeleton.

His voice filled the entire farmland, making the originally quiet farmland a bit more lively.

Only in his own planting space, where there was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere and no fatal crises, would Shen Xingyan so directly express his true nature.

Strictly speaking, he was just a young adult. Although his mind had matured a lot due to life, the remaining youthful spirit still needed to be vented from time to time, so as not to make the whole person become depressed.

It wasn't until the professional skill cooldown time was complete that Shen Xingyan put away his playful thoughts.

He took out his novice staff, selected the current five acres of farmland as the target, and began to release the original energy in his body madly, applying it to this land.

Every time Shen Xingyan used his professional skills, feeling the original energy running in his body, this feeling was very peculiar to him. And with each use of a large amount of original energy, his understanding of original energy became more profound.

As Shen Xingyan's professional skills began to take effect, all the crops in the farmland began to stir wildly, condensing one-tenth of the total growth progress in this short period of time.

The change in the potatoes was the greatest. It could be seen that its branches and buds began to extend at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the new leaves also quickly changed from tender green to dark green.

Compared with it, the wheat was calmer. All its changes were concentrated in the ear, which caused the number of grains in the ear to increase rapidly.

Seeing these crops being fast-forwarded, Shen Xingyan once again marveled at the power of his professional skills, and also felt that he was very lucky to have such powerful professional skills!

While Shen Xingyan was marveling, all the crops had already completed their accelerated growth and returned to their normal growth state.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan also rolled up his sleeves, ready to welcome the maintenance prompts from the Star Origin World. The number of little skeletons was now completely sufficient to deal with the normal frequency of prompts.

However, dealing with the frequency of prompts after using the skill was still a bit difficult, so he had to join in. Only when the number of little skeletons increased in the future, and the number of farmlands did not increase significantly, would this situation improve a lot.

At this time, in addition to Shen Xingyan being ready, the other experienced little skeletons also immediately put on a posture of being ready for battle when they saw the situation in front of them.

After all, every time such an abnormal situation occurred in the past, they would enter a busy state. Their subconscious had already formed a kind of inertial cognition about this, and Shen Xingyan did not need to deliberately remind them.

Under their gaze, the prompts in the sky above the farmland no longer appeared slowly as before, but appeared in an instant, prompting Shen Xingyan and them to quickly resolve them.

"Wangcai, pass it on, let's get to work!" Saying that, he picked up the hoe and started working.

The other little skeletons also did the same, except that their hoes were much shorter than Shen Xingyan's.

While Shen Xingyan and the little skeletons were working hard to seize the time, some senior farmer professionals were maintaining their one acre of wheat field with dark circles under their eyes, looking sleepy and trying to cheer up.
