#94 - Chapter 94 Harvesting Tomatoes

“Wangcai's efficiency is really high! I wonder how these skeletons communicate with each other, that they can be so fast and accurate!”

Shen Xingyan watched the other little skeletons, under Wangcai's remote control, indeed start working as he had just said, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The little skeletons taking care of the two acres of watermelon and strawberry fields, following the 'go all out' command, successively activated their berserk skills. After the '-2' health loss notification flashed above their heads, their work efficiency doubled.

Before long, relying on their numbers and doubled attributes, they forcibly merged the double notifications in the sky above the two acres of farmland into one.

Shen Xingyan, who was both working and coordinating the overall situation, was relieved to see this.

At this time, he was like a firefighter, tirelessly running between the fields. Wherever a double notification was about to appear, he would rush there and quickly give the maintenance notification 'full power attack'.

In this way, the maintenance work of the entire farmland was proceeding in an extremely busy state.

The Xingyuan notifications were like the moles in a whack-a-mole game. As soon as one was knocked down, another would immediately appear, leaving Shen Xingyan and Wangcai with no time to rest.

However, although Shen Xingyan and Wangcai seemed a bit embarrassed in their work, the overall situation was developing in an increasingly better direction, which Shen Xingyan, as the firefighter, felt especially strongly.

During this time, the little skeletons in the strawberry and watermelon fields caused the double notifications to reappear due to the end of their berserk time.

Shen Xingyan, who had already thought of a countermeasure, had Wangcai arrange for little skeletons who had not gone berserk to take over, ensuring that the maintenance task was completed while maximizing the work capacity of each little skeleton.

Under this work mode of Shen Xingyan issuing instructions to Wangcai, the entire farmland gradually presented a scene of busy order amidst chaos.

Shen Xingyan observed the scene before him, and while working, he also felt a little fortunate.

If the reward he received when breaking the record before was not a talent stone, then with the previous little skeletons' physical fitness of 1 for all attributes, it would be impossible to cope with the current situation, and the final result would definitely be unsatisfactory!

“Talent stones are really good things! No wonder they can cause such a big reaction from the outside world!” Shen Xingyan sighed softly.

As time went by, the frequency of Xingyuan notifications also became lower and lower, as if it had finished appreciating Shen Xingyan and their embarrassing appearance, and then left with satisfaction, and eventually the notifications gradually calmed down.

Only then did the firefighter Shen Xingyan have free time, and the worry in his heart was truly relieved.

“Thank goodness, thank goodness, fortunately there were little skeletons taking turns going berserk to withstand the pressure, otherwise I would probably have suffered the first 'task stagnation' penalty since awakening my profession!”

While thinking, Shen Xingyan looked at the acre of tomatoes that had already matured.

Looking around, seeing that Wangcai and the others were still dutifully dealing with the Xingyuan notifications.

In view of this, he didn't ask the little skeletons to help with the harvest, but started picking them himself.

After all, the amount of work for just one acre of tomatoes wouldn't take him, whose professional level had reached level 11, long to harvest.

Shen Xingyan didn't delay, and directly started, putting all the uprooted tomato plants into his backpack space, thinking of using the backpack's separation function later to separate the plants from the fruits, which would be much faster.

Watching the entire plants disappear one by one in his hands, the feeling of harvest also made a look of joy appear on his face, and this subconscious emotion made him feel very at ease.

In this mood, an acre of tomatoes was quickly harvested by him, and at this time the Xingyuan notification appeared in his ears:

“Congratulations, you have planted 600 square meters of tomatoes, the harvest yield is 300 kilograms, and you have gained 60 points of farmer professional experience.”

Looking at the Xingyuan notification, Shen Xingyan was a little disappointed. Although he had expected this, he couldn't help but shake his head after confirming the harvest.

Opening the backpack space and separating the tomato plants from the fruits, Shen Xingyan checked the attributes of the tomatoes and their stems and leaves:

Item: Tomato

Value: 20 copper coins

Quantity: 300

Attribute: A food/ingredient with a good taste and a slight recovery effect on stamina.

Item: Tomato Stems and Leaves

Value: 2 copper coins

Quantity: 120

Attribute: A raw material for a potion.

Seeing the attribute description of the tomatoes, Shen Xingyan sighed slightly. It was the first time he had grown non-grade agricultural products, which reminded him of the first time he harvested wheat, when he got high-quality wheat in the same situation.

After some comparison, he couldn't help but think:

It seems that even if crops with a shorter growth cycle are taken care of by someone around the clock, and without incurring a 'task stagnation' penalty, the possibility of obtaining high-quality agricultural products is not very high.

Unless some special methods are used, such as his own professional skill bonus.

But few people would use such methods on low-value crops, after all, the cost-effectiveness is not high.

Thinking of this, Shen Xingyan's originally somewhat disappointed mood suddenly improved, and he muttered to himself with some excitement:

“Then conversely, the longer the growth cycle of the crops I plant in the future, the higher the quality of the agricultural products I finally get without a 'task stagnation' penalty. Isn't this exactly what I want?”

Shen Xingyan, who turned bad things into good things, began to be happy, happily leaving 10 kilograms of tomatoes for tasting, and selling the rest to the Xingyuan Mall, and his wallet also reached 410 silver and 245 copper coins.

Then he looked at the farmland under his feet that needed to be cultivated before planting. At this time, he was very excited and didn't call Wangcai and the others, but directly went up himself.

After all, it was just a small acre of land, and with his current physical attributes, cultivating it was a piece of cake.

Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the land became plantable. Shen Xingyan called Wangcai over, and one person and one skeleton worked together to plant the strawberry seeds.

Shen Xingyan hadn't rested much from the time he came to the planting space until now. Due to congenital limitations, his stamina value had also been consumed by more than half.

At this time, seeing that the little skeletons were already sufficient to deal with the maintenance notifications of all the farmlands, he ate something and directly turned on the Primordial Energy Cultivation function, and also lay there and entered a state of sleep.

The tenfold cultivation speed caused the transparent small particles to swarm towards Shen Xingyan again, interspersed with multiple light green small particles, happily merging into Shen Xingyan's consciousness.
