#79 - Chapter 79 The Troubles of Happiness

"Wangcai and the others' Berserk skills can actually double their inherent attributes! Truly a mysterious hidden skill! The degree of enhancement is simply amazing!"

After seeing the attributes of the little skeletons after Berserking, Shen Xingyan confirmed his previous thoughts, and while delighted, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Unfortunately, the basic attributes of the little skeletons are still too low. Even though the Berserk skill doubles their attributes, they are still not strong enough to participate in battles at their current level.

Moreover, they don't have level attributes, so it's impossible to increase their attribute values by leveling up!

The only way I know to improve them right now is to use Talent Stones to enhance my Talent skills, thereby achieving the purpose of improving their attributes. If they could level up, that would be great!"

Thinking of this, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but shake his head in regret, then tapped his head and smiled wryly: Was he being too greedy?

As the saying goes, 'A man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant,' which perfectly describes Shen Xingyan's current state.

Fortunately, years of hardship had instilled in him an instinctive aversion to such greed, and he managed to suppress the thought shortly after it arose.

Casting aside his unhappy emotions, Shen Xingyan was already adept at such things. Otherwise, even with Chu Wei, his caring little sun, shining on him all these years, it would have been difficult for him to become who he is today.

Shen Xingyan refocused his gaze on the little skeletons in front of him.

Looking at the description of the Berserk skill and thinking about his own Talent skills, he couldn't help but think:

In the future, as he breaks the Star Origin World records more and more frequently, the probability of obtaining Talent Stones will gradually increase, and the attributes of the little skeletons will also improve faster and faster. Consequently, the effect of the Berserk skill will also become better.

"I should, most likely, really be able to become a true fighter in the future!"

Thinking of this, Shen Xingyan gently reached out his hand, as if the idea in his heart was already within reach. The smile on his face grew even brighter as he gently patted the little straw hat Wangcai was wearing, gazing ahead.

Wangcai was also looking at the little skeletons in front of it. Although it couldn't see the attribute panel, it could tell from their performance and its master's satisfied smile.

It seemed to understand the meaning of its master's initial instruction, and a faint blue light flashed in its large skeleton eye sockets, disappearing in an instant.

Shen Xingyan, who was excitedly gazing into the distance, naturally didn't notice Wangcai's abnormality. After a while, his emotions slowly calmed down.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!" Shen Xingyan knew this saying.

In his opinion, although the road ahead was full of light, he still needed to be able to reach it. Stay steady! Don't be reckless! Live until that time! That was what he needed to do right now.

Shen Xingyan let Wangcai go to work on its own, while he surveyed the entire farmland. With his meticulous nature, he realized that the current five acres of farmland could no longer fully meet the needs of Wangcai and the others!

The improvement in attributes led to an improvement in labor efficiency. With the farmland area remaining unchanged, the little skeletons were showing obvious signs of surplus labor!

Having been accustomed to diligence and thrift since childhood, he felt sorry for this phenomenon, but there was nothing he could do.

He hoped that when the potatoes were harvested tomorrow, the record-breaking reward would include land again. Otherwise, before planting the level three seeds, the little skeletons' excess labor would probably be wasted.

"What a happy problem!" Shen Xingyan sighed as he lay down in his old spot, his head resting on his hands, sleeping in a relaxed and contented manner.

The images that appeared in his dream caused the corners of his mouth to curl up slightly. Today's surprise was once again displayed in his mind in another form.

Accompanied by this beautiful dream, the next day arrived as scheduled.

Shen Xingyan, refreshed and invigorated, saw Wangcai and the others surrounding him as soon as he woke up. He was already accustomed to this scene, so he was not surprised at all.

However, looking at Wangcai and the others from his current lying angle, it was obvious that they had grown much taller and were starting to feel a bit oppressive.

For their master, Shen Xingyan, this sense of oppression automatically transformed into a sense of security.

Sitting up, Shen Xingyan smiled and patted Wangcai, who was standing beside him, then turned his gaze to the farmland in front of him.

He saw that in each acre of farmland, two little skeletons were working in an orderly manner, their movements smooth and skilled, as if they had developed labor into a skill. All the other little skeletons were gathered around him.

This discovery couldn't help but make Shen Xingyan look at Wangcai in surprise, not expecting it to make such an arrangement.

While ensuring that the instructions were carried out smoothly, it also protected him, its master. This two-pronged approach was very thoughtful.

"Wangcai, you're becoming more and more qualified as a captain. When you have more subordinates in the future, I'll appoint two more squad leaders for you, and you'll be promoted to a battalion commander, so you can worry less."

Shen Xingyan patted Wangcai with satisfaction and began to promise it a realistic but distant goal.

After all, he could now summon two little skeletons every day, and the rate at which their numbers were accumulating was no longer the same. It was estimated that this promise could be fulfilled in a few days.

Wangcai seemed to understand Shen Xingyan's promise and gently shook its little skeleton head to express its joy.

After drawing the pie, Shen Xingyan strolled around the farmland and checked the growth of the potatoes before happily "logging off" and returning to the real world.

After Shen Xingyan left, Wangcai, the skeleton captain, slowly looked around at the little skeletons, scratching its skull with its finger bones, as if thinking about who would be suitable to be the squad leader next.

If Shen Xingyan were here, he would definitely be surprised by Wangcai's human-like actions.

Back in reality, Shen Xingyan was not in a hurry to get out of bed, but happily checked the little money in his Star Origin Card. Although the money he earned this time was not much, it was still an income.

However, when he was checking his wallet, he inadvertently noticed a change in the attribute panel, which made his originally happy eyes suddenly freeze.
