Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 Efficiency Improvement

Shen Xingyan watched the two Little Skeletons walk into the wheat field and followed them, wanting to see how Wangcai guided the Little Skeletons in their labor.

Wangcai would make a movement, and the new Little Skeleton would follow suit, even skipping the previous gestures between the two skeletons.

Shen Xingyan was a little confused, not knowing how they communicated.

After repeating these movements a few times, Wangcai stopped weeding and led the Little Skeleton back to Shen Xingyan's side.

"Is that all?" Shen Xingyan looked at Wangcai, who was standing quietly beside him, with a surprised expression.

At this moment, it seemed to have completed the command Shen Xingyan had given it, and at the same time, it fell into a state of silence, standing by Shen Xingyan's side, waiting for the next command.

Shen Xingyan squatted down and approvingly patted Wangcai's skull.

Although this skeleton looked a bit terrifying, it made him feel as if he had found a treasure. If he wasn't afraid of others thinking he was a pervert, he would have wanted to kiss it directly.

He knew that when he previously taught Wangcai these labor movements, it was based on his identity as Wangcai's owner, which naturally included the bonus of a Skill.

Coupled with the fact that Shen Xingyan was an intelligent person, he clearly knew how to make a'skeleton' that understood nothing better complete his commands. All these factors combined led to Wangcai quickly getting the hang of it.

Although Wangcai's teaching method just now was somewhat similar to his own, even without the mandatory command of a Skill, it was able to get the Little Skeleton up to speed so quickly.

This indicated that its inherent efficiency was indeed much higher than Shen Xingyan's, which was quite baffling!

"Do skeletons have a special method of communication between themselves? Is their communication more efficient?" Shen Xingyan couldn't help but ponder.

Feeling somewhat perplexed, Shen Xingyan simply asked Wangcai if his guess was correct, telling Wangcai to nod if it was right and shake its head if it was wrong.

However, Wangcai seemed to not understand what its owner was expressing at all, standing there without any reaction.

"I was a bit too greedy. It's already excellent that Wangcai can perfectly execute my basic commands. Asking it to answer questions is too much for it!"

Shen Xingyan shook his head, feeling a little disappointed. He had indeed been a bit delusional just now, thinking a skeleton without intelligence, one that only followed commands, could answer his questions.

"It's probably because things have been too smooth recently. The mutation of my professional Skill and the potential of my talent Skill are almost making me delusional. I still need to proceed steadily and not be too whimsical!" Shen Xingyan internally criticized and spurred himself on.

Since he couldn't get any useful information from Wangcai, and there was no other way to answer his questions, Shen Xingyan had to temporarily put the matter aside.

"Come on, let's go to the wheat field and complete the weeding task." Shen Xingyan tentatively said to the two skeletons. Although he had already guessed the outcome, he was still a little uneasy before the final result was presented.

However, upon hearing Shen Xingyan's command, Wangcai and his Little Skeleton follower immediately began weeding in one direction.

Seeing this result, Shen Xingyan exclaimed, "This is great!"

"From now on, the task of guiding the planting will be handed over to Wangcai. He just needs to give a command, and it's done. It saves both worry and effort!" Shen Xingyan thought happily to himself.

With three laborers weeding together, the efficiency was incredibly high, and the weeding task was completed quickly.

However, it was only after the weeding maintenance prompt disappeared that Shen Xingyan remembered he had been so engrossed in the miraculous effects of his talent Skill and the excellent abilities of the Little Skeleton.

He regretted not using his powerful professional Skill the moment its cooldown ended, wasting several minutes for nothing.

At the same time, he quickly used his professional Skill, consuming 5 points of Original Energy, which increased the growth progress of one mu of agricultural product by +10%!

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

As the effect of the professional Skill acted upon this mu of wheat field, Shen Xingyan, who was in it, clearly felt that the surrounding wheat had reached its growth limit and was beginning to develop ears.

Looking at the vibrant wheat, Shen Xingyan's previous slight reservations about the Farmer profession gradually dissolved.

He suddenly experienced the joy that a Farmer profession should have, the joy of creating life.

Watching the agricultural product in the field grow little by little with hope, eventually becoming what they wanted, this feeling of nurturing is probably only something every Farmer can experience, and it truly fascinated Shen Xingyan.

"If it weren't for the Disasters surrounding the outside world, being an ordinary Farmer would actually be quite happy." Shen Xingyan couldn't help but think.

After his lament, Shen Xingyan no longer hesitated, because the "irrigation" maintenance icon had already started appearing above the wheat field. He quickly led Wangcai and the Little Skeleton to continue working.

As the Little Skeleton quickly became familiar with various maintenance tasks in the wheat field under Wangcai's guidance, its movements also became more and more agile, which led to a sudden increase in their work efficiency.

Under the combined efforts of the three laborers, various maintenance tasks for one mu of wheat field were quickly dealt with as soon as they appeared. Compared to the first day, the difficulty of completing the tasks was significantly easier.

However, the Star Origin's prompt tasks seemed to be endless, just like the Little Skeleton's stamina. Often, as soon as they finished one prompted task, another would immediately appear, giving Shen Xingyan no chance to rest.

After five or six hours of intense work, Shen Xingyan's stamina was almost at the warning line. Only then did the Star Origin's prompts begin to slow down, and the idle time between the appearance of two prompts gradually lengthened.

Shen Xingyan spent 2 copper coins in the Xingyuan Mall to buy two steamed buns and was sitting at the edge of the field, gnawing on them. He also clearly noticed the phenomenon of the prompts gradually slowing down, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"The +10% growth progress is indeed very powerful, but it also requires matching labor.

Otherwise, if this mu of wheat field were maintained by myself alone, there would probably be multiple icons above the wheat field at this moment, and the wheat would also suffer penalties for task stagnation, leading to a significant reduction in the final harvest."

While gnawing on the steamed bun and recovering his stamina, Shen Xingyan marveled at how well the two Skills complemented each other. If either Skill appeared alone, it would not have such astonishing effects!
