Chapter 18: Chapter 018 HE Grinds(Excercise) While Others Sleep
The beautiful fantasies about the future made Shen Xingyan chuckle softly, boosting his spirits. At this moment, the Star Origin's prompt appeared above the wheat field.
Shen Xingyan didn't hesitate, quickly leading the two Little Skeletons into the wheat field and starting their diligent labor, step by step.
The recovery of his physical strength, coupled with his mental excitement, filled Shen Xingyan with vigor. As soon as the Star Origin's prompt appeared, the three model laborers would swiftly eliminate it.
As their efficiency increased, the Star Origin seemed to be astonished by the three of them, or perhaps the diminishing after-effects of the previous +20% growth progress led to increasingly longer intervals between prompts.
Shen Xingyan gradually realized that he even had a rare amount of rest time, a luxury he hadn't experienced yesterday.
During his rest, Shen Xingyan looked at the Little Skeletons and couldn't help but smile softly. Having an extra laborer truly made a difference!
The wheat in the field, due to Shen Xingyan's highly efficient maintenance work, grew more and more impressively. The part where the wheat heads formed ears also grew larger and larger. It was clear that, if no major problems arose in the future, high yield was guaranteed!
Working and resting like this, Shen Xingyan's time in the Star Origin World today slowly approached its end.
Looking at the Star Origin's countdown, Shen Xingyan squatted down and patted the heads of the two Little Skeletons a few times, saying softly:
"I need to leave for a while. This one mu of land will be under your management. Wangcai, even though you were only summoned a day earlier, you're still considered an 'elder.' Please guide the Little Skeleton well." Shen Xingyan chuckled as he spoke.
He thought to himself: Even though he rationally knew they would definitely follow his commands and he didn't need to say so much, his words just now were no different from talking to the air, and he wouldn't get any response from the two Little Skeletons.
Yet, he still couldn't help but give instructions. This was probably related to his years of taking care of his sister.
Shen Xingyan chuckled, shaking his head slightly, then waved to Wangcai and the Little Skeleton. With a slight movement of his consciousness, he instantly disappeared from the Star Origin World.
Wangcai and the Little Skeleton, standing at the edge of the field, watched their master disappear into thin air. They slowly turned their skull heads, seemingly searching for Shen Xingyan out of instinct.
Wangcai had experienced this yesterday, and after searching in vain, it quickly became still, facing the direction of the wheat field.
However, the new Little Skeleton kept turning its head to look. Although it could no longer sense Shen Xingyan's presence through that subtle connection, it didn't give up and continued to search blindly.
It wasn't until a new prompt icon appeared above the wheat field that Wangcai precisely executed Shen Xingyan's command and walked towards the wheat field.
But halfway there, it noticed that the Little Skeleton was still looking around, completely unaware of the new prompt icon.
Wangcai slowly turned around and walked back, then "thumped" the Little Skeleton on its skull, making the turning Little Skeleton instantly freeze in place.
The Little Skeleton tilted its head slightly to look at Wangcai, who slowly extended a finger bone, pointed to the icon above the wheat field, and then turned to walk towards the wheat field.
The Little Skeleton, having been disciplined by Wangcai, also lowered its skull and followed behind Wangcai, showing no signs of resistance, as if it had been awed by Wangcai's might.
Returning to the real world, Shen Xingyan slowly opened his eyes as he had yesterday, but unlike before, he was now full of energy.
The new discovery of his innate Skill today made Shen Xingyan feel very excited, and sleeping in the Star Origin World also had the same effect as sleeping in reality.
The more than three hours Shen Xingyan rested in the Star Origin earlier was equivalent to resting, and these two factors combined gave him his current spirit and vigor.
After waking up, Shen Xingyan repeatedly checked the information on his star origin card, confirming its authenticity again and again. Finally, he looked at the ceiling with a face full of happiness, his joyful emotions overwhelming him, wishing he could declare to the whole world right now:
He, Shen Xingyan, was no longer a defenseless Farmer. Given time, his achievements would absolutely astound all living beings, including those invading Disasters!
Fortunately, rationality suddenly appeared at this moment, suppressing this impulse.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. Before you have enough strength, absolutely do not reveal yourself to anyone, remember that!" The agitated Shen Xingyan quickly warned himself in his mind.
Exhaling a long breath, Shen Xingyan got up and started preparing food. It was still early morning, and to avoid disturbing his sister so early, he carefully prepared meals for both himself and his sister.
After gulping down his own portion, he returned to his room, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. He had no choice but to follow the body techniques taught at school, gently moving his body and exercising in the room.
During this time, when people were either immersed in the Star Origin World or in dreams, those like Shen Xingyan who were exercising were absolutely rare.
It wasn't until the sky gradually brightened that Shen Xingyan slowly stopped his exercise. The two hours of training had consumed a considerable amount of his physical strength.
He took out his star origin card to check, and his stamina had dropped to 4 points, meaning he would soon enter a weakened state.
At this moment, hearing a slight movement outside, Shen Xingyan knew his sister was waking up. He quickly changed his sweat-soaked clothes and walked out of the room.
"Oh, brother, why are you awake?" Shen Xingying was surprised to see her brother walk out of his room at this hour.
According to her estimation, her brother should have come out of the Star Origin World around five or six in the morning, which was the sleepiest time. Logically, he should still be sleeping now.
"Nothing, hurry up and eat. I already made it for you." Shen Xingyan rubbed his sister's hair, smiling dotingly.
Shen Xingying nodded in agreement and began to eat breakfast without suspicion. She hadn't seen her brother for two days, and she was very happy to see him and talk to him before going to school today.
"Brother, what is the Star Origin World like? I heard it's much livelier than here, as prosperous as before the Cataclysm!" Shen Xingying asked curiously while eating, her eyes full of longing.
Shen Xingyan heated two steamed buns for himself and explained his first impressions while eating. Although he had spent most of the past two days in the Professional Space, it didn't prevent him from sharing the peaceful street with his sister.
As Shen Xingying listened to her brother's description, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
