Dingo and Gemma, noticing Clayton's oddly excited behavior, couldn't help but grow curious. Quietly, they followed behind him.
When they reached the tea tree, Clayton paused to observe it closely before gently pinching a few fresh buds. Thanks to his Farmer's Observation and Farmer's Intuition skills, he could easily tell which leaves were ready to harvest, which to leave, and how best to handle them. Before long, he had gathered around four kilograms of fresh tea leaves.
Clayton couldn't hide his delight. He suspected the bountiful harvest was due to recent skill upgrades—like Harvest Boost—combined with his growing farming experience.
He was thoroughly pleased.
Seeing how happy Clayton was, Dingo wagged his tail in shared joy. He knew exactly what tea was—Clayton often gave him some, and he'd grown fond of it.
Gemma, on the other hand, had no idea what was going on. Curious, she brought her head close to one of the tender leaves and gently nibbled on it.
