#9 - Chapter 9: Crazy Growth of Wheat Seedlings

After Shen Xingyan set the location of the well, the Star Origin World's prompt appeared again:

"Setting complete, please irrigate the field to help the seeds grow better!"

As he had understood before, the Star Origin World seemed to be teaching him how to complete crop planting step by step through such prompts, similar to a newbie's guide.

With the end of the prompt, a well about knee-high to Shen Xingyan appeared out of nowhere in the very center of this one-mu field.

According to the prompt, Shen Xingyan and the little skeleton moved to the central area and looked at the newly rewarded well.

The style of this well was not much different from what Shen Xingyan remembered, but upon closer inspection, he found that there was a fundamental difference.

In reality, well water is hundreds of meters underground, and it can only be obtained through pumping equipment or primitive buckets.

However, the water in the well in front of him was full, presented before Shen Xingyan's eyes, giving him a feeling that it was about to overflow.

With such a water level, he could easily obtain water without consuming much effort, which would greatly increase his irrigation efficiency.

"Star Origin is quite considerate, this saves a lot of effort." Shen Xingyan muttered to himself with satisfaction.

Then, without hesitation, he directly picked up the several buckets that came with the well, and he and the little skeleton began to draw water from the well, irrigating this nearly one-mu field little by little.

What was amazing was that the water in the well did not decrease at all due to their actions, and remained in the same overflowing state as at the beginning.

Shen Xingyan couldn't help but sigh, as expected of something given by Star Origin, the well was just like the newbie's three-piece set, so economical and practical, he wouldn't have to worry about water for planting in the future.

At Shen Xingyan's signal, the little skeleton was also carrying out irrigation work, although its movements were slow, it was truly executing Shen Xingyan's orders.

It was like a tireless machine, faithfully executing the program set for it by its creator.

Throughout the entire irrigation process, the little skeleton irrigated at the same frequency, without showing any signs of exhaustion due to repeated operations.

"That's right, there is no stamina column in its attributes, so there will be no physical problems at all. This advantage will be of great help to my future farming." Shen Xingyan was pleasantly surprised by this discovery.

After all, taking care of farmland is a very trivial matter. After irrigation, when the seeds grow, they need to be fertilized, weeded, and insects caught, a series of maintenance tasks.

The time required for these things is indeed not a small amount. Now that he has this tireless little skeleton to assist him, he will naturally be much more relaxed.

Looking at the little skeleton that would not stop, Shen Xingyan's satisfied expression was almost overflowing, thinking:

"My talent skill clearly shows that after 24 hours of cooldown, I can summon a skeleton.

That proves that I will have the help of skeletons every day. As long as I finish the work that can be done before the skeletons disappear, then I will be much more idle."

Thinking of this, Shen Xingyan suddenly felt happy in his heart. Working with the little skeleton can greatly shorten his labor time. Compared to other farmer professions, this is also a considerable advantage.

Shen Xingyan looked at the little skeleton, still working diligently during his reverie, and the way it swayed while carrying the bucket actually made him feel that this skeleton was a bit cute. This is probably a manifestation of loving the house and its crow.

If others knew that Shen Xingyan would actually find a skeleton composed of a pile of bones a bit cute, they would probably give him a strange look and sigh that the world is so big, there are all kinds of weirdos!

"Irrigation complete, reward a newbie staff, please use it to cast your professional skills to speed up the growth of crops."

When Shen Xingyan and the little skeleton finished irrigating this one-mu field, the Star Origin's prompt also appeared in Shen Xingyan's ears.

Hearing that Star Origin had given a reward, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but check his item bar. He saw that the item bar, which originally only had a hoe, now had a wooden stick-like thing quietly placed in the second grid. With a thought, he checked its attributes:

Item: Newbie Staff

Attribute: Spell Attack +1

No level requirement, no durability limit, a tool for casting professional skills.

Another good thing with no durability! Shen Xingyan quickly equipped it to the weapon bar, and the newbie staff immediately appeared in his hand.

Shen Xingyan played with this real weapon for a while, and couldn't help but think of Chu Wei. She awakened as a mage profession. If she released professional skills through this weapon, what kind of power would it be?

After briefly imagining a scene of a fireball destroying a disaster, Shen Xingyan began to stand in the center of the field according to the requirements in the prompt, silently chanting to release his professional skills.

As he thought, the original energy in his body, which he could not normally detect, began to move significantly within his body.

This feeling made Shen Xingyan, who was experiencing it for the first time, feel a burst of excitement in his heart.

He had seen the magic of original energy countless times in textbooks and teachers' demonstrations, and he had long had a deep yearning for it.

Now he can also use this power, although he is only using the skills of the farmer profession, it does not hinder his excited mood.

As the original energy slowly gathered on the staff in Shen Xingyan's hand, he tapped it lightly on the ground, and suddenly an invisible aura began to spread within a range of 600 square meters around him.

The appearance of this aura caused the little skeleton next to him to instinctively take a step back. It itself belonged to an undead creature, and it instinctively produced a sense of rejection towards this aura of "life."

Although it was a little repulsive, after discovering that it did not cause any substantial harm to it, it stopped and stayed quietly aside.

After releasing his professional skills, Shen Xingyan did not look at the situation of the field, but carefully felt the feeling of releasing the skills just now.

After all, in his opinion, professional skills only improve the growth rate of crops. The newly planted seeds, even if their growth is accelerated by 10%, will not show any effect on the surface.

However, to his surprise, before he could finish feeling the trajectory of the original energy, his eyes were occupied by the rapidly appearing green around him.

As soon as his professional skills were released, the newly sown seeds grew upwards like seedlings pulled from dry land, as if they had turned on an accelerator, and quickly reached a knee-high height, and only then did they stop growing.
