#99 - Chapter 99 Harvesting Cucumbers

The Gale Step at the Hall Entry stage provides a speed boost of 10 points without triggering any special effects.

Adding that to Shen Xingyan's original 24 points of speed within the Star Origin World, his speed instantly reached 34 points.

Although this speed didn't double numerically, his work efficiency more than doubled.

Shen Xingyan, feeling the wind beneath his feet, directly felt this improvement and was reassured. He wondered if he could visit an old scholar's bookstore in the future to find martial techniques helpful for farm work, just in case.

Using the Gale Step, Shen Xingyan, the firefighter, seemed to have been equipped with a propulsion device, shuttling back and forth across the farmland.

Occasionally, he would trigger the 20% chance of the afterimage effect, further accelerating his already fast movement speed and increasing his work efficiency.

The little skeletons, seeing their master working like the wind, simply wore an expression of course, feeling subconsciously that their master should be so powerful.

Wangcai, seeing its master's rapid work efficiency, also had a hint of blue light with worshipful rhythm flashing in its eyes.

Shen Xingyan continued to use Gale Step for more than an hour, and the violent Star Origin maintenance prompts gradually began to return to normal.

At this time, Shen Xingyan's stamina was almost depleted, and he was about to reach the warning line.

Seeing this, he quickly stopped, handing over all the farmland maintenance work to Wangcai and the others, while he walked to the side of the farmland, panting, and sat down with a thud.

After eating some high-grade food that could quickly restore stamina and resting for more than ten minutes, he turned his gaze to the mu of cucumbers waiting to be harvested.

Standing up and looking at Wangcai and the others busily working in the field, he decided not to let them help with the harvest and directly started himself.

With his current stamina and the convenience of having a backpack space, harvesting wouldn't take too long.

Shen Xingyan followed the same pattern as when he harvested tomatoes, uprooting the cucumber plants and putting them into his backpack space.

As all the cucumbers in this mu of farmland were collected into his backpack, the Star Origin's prompt sounded in his ear:

"Congratulations, you have planted 600 square meters of cucumbers. The harvest yield is 650 kilograms, and you have gained 130 farmer profession experience points."

Listening to the ordinary yield and experience gain in the prompt, Shen Xingyan had expected it. Although it was a little more than the tomato harvest, the increase was not significant when calculated by growth cycle.

"It seems that the income from crops with low planting cycles is indeed very stable, stably low. It's not comparable to long-term crops at all. I guess if I didn't have little skeletons and almost perverted professional skills, I would choose seeds and other almost daily-settlement crops."

Shen Xingyan thought with a slight sigh. In the past, he would receive some surprises from the farmland with each harvest, but the results of the last two harvests were all within his expectations.

Although the harvesting process was joyful, the final result made him feel a little dull.

Shen Xingyan opened the backpack space, used the backpack's function to separate the cucumber vines from the cucumbers, and checked the attributes of both:

Item: Cucumber

Value: 20 copper coins

Quantity: 650

Attributes: A food/ingredient with a good taste and a slight restorative effect on stamina.

Item: Cucumber Vine

Value: 2 copper coins

Quantity: 180

Attributes: A raw material for a potion.

As expected, the harvested agricultural products were all of ordinary grade. Shen Xingyan opened the Star Origin Mall and sold them all, bringing his wallet to 1 gold, 418 silver, and 28 copper coins.

Shen Xingyan turned to look at his remaining stamina. Although he felt he could persevere, he didn't push himself. He called his capable general, Wangcai, and together, one person and one skeleton, they plowed and sowed this mu of farmland!

After finishing all this, Shen Xingyan was really a little exhausted. After giving Wangcai the basic instructions for the maintenance task, he staggered to one end of the farmland.

Seeing that it was already past ten o'clock, he didn't return to the real world to continue exercising, but calmed down, set the cultivation time to 8 hours, and started the cultivation function.

The moment the cultivation function started, he fell into a deep sleep.

As the cultivation progressed, Shen Xingyan's stamina and origin energy were rapidly recovering, and at the same time, transparent small particles and light green small particles were frantically pouring towards Wang Hao, the center of the vortex.

If someone were to statistically compare the number of small particles in the past two days, they would be surprised to find that the number of transparent small particles always remained in a constant state, but the number of light green small particles showed an increasing trend.

Tracing back to the source, the most important reason was the two mu of strawberry farmland. As the crops grew, they provided more and more light green small particles.

Shen Xingyan, immersed in his sleep, was completely unaware of this. Immersed in a comfortable state, he slept soundly.

Time flowed slowly, and the little skeletons were still working diligently, never slacking off.

Under the contrast of the little skeletons, Shen Xingyan, lying on the ground sleeping, gave people an incomparably comfortable feeling. Between one movement and one stillness, the scene of the entire planting space seemed particularly harmonious.

As the 8-hour cultivation time ended, Shen Xingyan woke up from his sleep.

At this time, full of energy, he sat up gently, looking at the 22 little skeletons working in the farmland, a sincere smile on his face.

After getting up, Shen Xingyan briefly interacted with each little skeleton. Although they were all his summons, the fact was that they were working for him, and this had to be acknowledged.

Expressing some gratitude to them was only natural for Shen Xingyan.

After focusing on communicating with Wangcai, Shen Xingyan returned to the real world.

After having a simple breakfast with his sister, the two put the large and small packages on a cart and began to slowly push it towards their new residence.

However, after walking not far, the brother and sister turned their heads to look at the familiar house, their faces filled with nostalgia.

"Don't worry, we will come back sooner or later!" Shen Xingyan said in a gentle tone with a hint of firmness. These words were for both his sister and himself.

Shen Xingying nodded heavily, thinking about something in her mind.

At this time, the morning light shone on their faces, making them look particularly rosy and bright.
