#93 - Chapter 93 Work Arrangements

"Congratulations, you have successfully cast a profession skill. Farmer profession experience +1."

As the Star Origin notification appeared, Shen Xingyan felt the original energy smoothly leave the staff, covering all the farmland. This made him secretly relieved.

After all, it was his first time casting a profession skill on level 3 crops, and he was afraid that something unexpected might happen. Fortunately, everything was going smoothly so far.

He looked at the small wooden stick in his hand and couldn't help but think, "Should I change my staff? After all, my profession skills have already reached level 11. If others find out that I'm still using a beginner's staff, wouldn't they laugh at me?"

Thinking of this, he shook his head with a bit of amusement. However, he quickly dismissed the idea, despite being somewhat tempted.

After all, a stronger staff only increases spell attack power, which only works for skills with magic damage effects.

And his staff serves as a simple casting medium, providing no benefit to his profession skills. Changing the staff would just be a waste of money.

Besides, although his beginner's staff is low-level and looks ugly, it has no durability limit. From this point alone, it's quite cost-effective for him.

Putting the thought aside, Shen Xingyan looked at the farmland in front of him, which was beginning to react.

As the effects of the profession skill began to manifest, all the crops in his field seemed to be stimulated, shaking violently, with their branches, leaves, and fruits rapidly unfurling.

It was as if each was a vibrant little life, radiating vitality at that moment.

Shen Xingyan took in the changes of each crop at a glance.

Under the effect of the profession skill, the field of tomatoes gave the feeling that they were about to enter their ripening period and could be harvested.

The external changes in cucumbers and cauliflower, two crops with a growth cycle of two or three days, were not so obvious. After all, their growth cycle was short, and the effect of +10% growth progress could not be fully displayed on them.

On the other hand, the mid-term crops of pumpkins, peppers, and potatoes grew particularly vigorously, with the greatest changes among all the crops.

Their branches, leaves, and stems became increasingly dense and sturdy, presenting a thriving and delightful scene.

However, with a +10% growth rate, the longer-cycle crops of strawberries and watermelons had only just begun to show their shallow shoots before ceasing to change. While this surprised Shen Xingyan, he also felt it was reasonable.

Observing the changes in the entire farmland, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but sigh. After all, the spectacle of eight acres of farmland undergoing changes, large and small, far exceeded anything he had seen before.

While marveling, Shen Xingyan and Wangcai also prepared for "battle", bracing themselves for the Star Origin's crazy maintenance notifications.

After all, it was his first time accelerating level 3 crops, and he was still somewhat uncertain.

But seeing Wangcai and the others on high alert ever since he picked up the beginner's staff, Shen Xingyan felt a little more at ease.

Shen Xingyan summoned Wangcai to his side to facilitate the issuance of commands. Based on past experience, Wangcai's efficiency in understanding and conveying instructions was much faster than his own!

Then, the man and the skeleton stood quietly by, watching the entire farmland, giving people a sense of overall planning and commanding the battle.

Before long, as the effects of the profession skill fully manifested in the farmland, the Star Origin's maintenance notifications finally seemed unable to restrain themselves, as if seeking revenge for the previous humiliation, and began to appear frantically in the sky above the farmland.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyan did not hesitate and began to allocate the little skeletons according to the speed and frequency of the notifications.

He and Wangcai also joined the army dealing with the maintenance notifications.

Now at level 11, Shen Xingyan's efficiency when working at full strength was unmatched by the little skeletons.

Without exaggeration, Shen Xingyan's current work efficiency alone could be equivalent to the combined efforts of six little skeletons.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't match the little skeletons' unlimited stamina, he alone could complete the workload of ten little skeletons.

However, even in this situation, dealing with the frantic maintenance notifications was still somewhat difficult.

The others were fine. Although they were level 3 crops, because of their short cycle, the profession skill's effects were not as great, and the Star Origin's notifications were still within controllable limits.

However, the unexpected situation that Shen Xingyan had worried about did occur. The ferocity of the maintenance notifications for the long-cycle crops of strawberries and watermelons really startled him.

Not long after starting work, double warnings appeared in the sky above those two acres of farmland. The last time this happened was during the first fertilization maintenance task!

While somewhat frightened, Shen Xingyan quickly had Wangcai rush over to support them, while also thinking about countermeasures.

Originally, he had planned to temporarily ignore the tomato field, since they were about to ripen. He just needed to keep an eye on them.

He assigned two little skeletons to the cucumber field, and evenly distributed all the other little skeletons among the other seven acres, so that each field had about three skeletons.

However, while this plan seemed reasonable, he had overlooked the huge differences in the growth cycles of the various crops, and the differences in the growth time increased by the profession skill's acceleration had become very large.

This led to the current phenomenon: the notifications for short-cycle crops appeared slowly, while the speed of the long-cycle crops was astonishing!

"Wangcai, assign six little skeletons to maintain the strawberry field, five little skeletons to maintain the watermelon field, three to the pepper field, two each to the potato and pumpkin fields, and one each to the cauliflower and cucumber fields. If there are any areas with double notifications, have the corresponding little skeletons go 'all out'!"

Because the previous plan had been poorly considered, Shen Xingyan quickly changed the plan and had the little skeletons use their berserk skills when necessary. After quickly explaining the plan, he had Wangcai convey the instructions.

And Wangcai never failed Shen Xingyan at critical moments. Although Shen Xingyan's instructions were slightly more complicated than before, Wangcai still carried them out meticulously.

Shen Xingyan watched as Wangcai simply glanced around, and all the little skeletons began to move in an orderly manner.
