Chapter 142 The Country Bumpkin in Another World
It's 5 a.m., the sun has just risen, and Xue's Law has to go to his early morning class at 8 a.m.

He was prepared to sleep for a maximum of three hours and then open a portal to enter the classroom at the last minute, but unexpectedly he received a communication from the world's consciousness at this time.

Or are there invaders from another world who directly invade Earth without even thinking of friendly communication?

Where did this country bumpkin from another world come from? Are your nine clans mass-produced?

Xue Dinglu didn't stand on ceremony. He got up without even taking off his pajamas and used a portal to arrive at the coordinates given by the world consciousness.

……

Meanwhile, the knights of the Silver Kingdom, seeing from afar that the rice paddies were about the height of a person, were all greatly shocked.

Upon closer inspection, the shock was even greater. A gentle autumn breeze rippled through the rice paddies, creating layers of golden waves, like a shimmering ocean under the sun. It was a painting composed of countless slender and plump ears of rice, each seemingly gleaming with golden light under the morning sun.

This scene shocked even Princess Baiyin, who had lived in the palace for a long time and had never been to the countryside. Such a bountiful harvest, which could only be described as a "miracle," felt like a dream to them.

Not to mention the knights who might have farmed since childhood, they couldn't help but swallow hard at the sight.

The Kingdom of Silver is not very large, so even many knights grow up doing farm work and raising horses while training their bodies, and then don their ancestral armor and shields to go into battle when the kingdom calls upon them.

The female knight even plucked a section of wheat. Although the grain was different from what they grew, she could clearly smell the aroma of the starch from the crushed rice and the plump ears of grain.

Not one of them is empty!

And based on the weight of rice produced by this one rice stalk, they calculated a terrifying number.

"Yield per mu... three thousand catties per mu! Your Highness, more than three thousand catties of grain per mu! We've struck it rich! Is this heaven? Why is the yield of this kind of grain ten times that of the Silver Kingdom? That means no one here will go hungry, and everyone will have enough to eat!" The female knight became more and more excited as she spoke, and even knelt down by the rice field.

The knight commander also fell silent. He had farmed when he was a child, so he naturally understood how exaggerated this yield was. It was as if the income from this rice field was enough to support the royal city of Silver Kingdom, Silver City, for a whole year!
Ten times the output? More than ten times!
If their Silver Kingdom could also have such a divine valley that seemed to have fallen from the sky, the number of knights and mages they could train could increase more than tenfold. At that time, no matter how powerful the witch who attacked Silver City was, or how evil the dragon was, they would surely make sure that the witch would not return alive.

But all of this was just a fantasy they had after escaping to this paradise.

After the evil witch conquers Silver City, she can turn the entire Silver Kingdom into a dead land filled with thorns and fragrant flowers, plunging all her people into an endless slumber, and turning the entire Silver City into her toy.

This is something they can never forget.

Now, with this sacred valley, they have the hope of training an army of several hundred men, all of whom are at least near-legendary, within ten years. At that time, they can easily defeat the dragon and then storm into the Silver City, which is occupied by the witch, to drive her out.

"Perhaps this really is heaven..." The knight commander closed his eyes. At this moment, looking at this rice field, he could only sigh deeply.

In the distance, an older woman riding an electric tricycle passed along the gravel path by the rice paddies and saw a group of "foreigners" acting crazy by the rice fields.

And they all seemed to be from some kind of "anime/manga" world? Their hair was in various shades of silver and gold, and they were wearing armor and carrying greatswords and shields. There was also one who looked like a mage. The older woman couldn't understand it, but she was greatly shocked.

"Hey, foreigner over there? Hello?" That was the only foreign phrase the older woman knew.

The people of the Silver Kingdom couldn't understand, and all looked at the mage. The mage immediately cast a spell on everyone: "Communication!"

"What are you all doing squatting by the field? That anime-style armor must be expensive, right? Aren't you afraid of getting it dirty?" She looked at the knights touching the rice stalks, and even a blonde female knight peeling open a grain of rice to taste it. She was utterly bewildered, utterly shocked.

"You can't eat this raw. And this is high-yield rice, it doesn't taste good. It's used to raise chickens and pigs, people don't usually eat it. Hey! The unlucky kid still put it in his mouth!"

She genuinely didn't know that there were still many places in the world where people didn't have enough to eat. She only knew that foreigners seemed to be quite developed, and they all had blond or silver hair, so they looked like they were from Europe. It was impossible that she had never seen rice before.

The knights ate the rice raw, their powerful jaw muscles crushing it, and the aroma of the grain and the bursting starch made their bodies instinctively crave more.

At this moment, they all realized that they had not eaten or drunk anything for a day and a night in order to escape the witch and the dragon's pursuit. Stimulated by the smell of grain, tears involuntarily flowed from the corners of their mouths.

They might even choose to cook rice on the spot.

However, when they heard that this thing wasn't even for human consumption, but rather for feeding livestock, the shock was like Zeus suddenly appearing behind them.

"Old woman, let me ask you, is this kind of rice only for feeding livestock? Are there any other better seeds?" The knight commander finally managed to suppress his country bumpkin-like shock and asked.

"Yes, friends, yes... You Europeans raise cattle and sheep, you probably don't know much about farming, right? We have potatoes and sweet potatoes that yield nearly 10,000 jin per mu, but we sell them to factories to make potato chips. We also have nearly 10,000 jin per mu of corn, and occasionally we grow soybeans and rapeseed, but the yield from those oil presses is only a few hundred jin of oil per mu." The older woman found it all quite novel, after all, these foreigners spoke such fluent Chinese (communication skills) and knew nothing about farming, she instantly felt a sense of satisfaction in showing off in front of them.

"Ten thousand catties per mu?" They couldn't hear the data on corn and soybeans after that; they were just too shocked by the terrifying numbers to listen.

Their reason had been swallowed up by this terrifying number. Their minds were as if they had been forcibly strengthened by this shocking figure, with tens of thousands of acres of grain frantically floating around in their heads. There was nothing left to fear.

"Alright, stop harvesting Old Li's rice. It's not ripe yet. And don't go into that forest and get lost. Every year, a lot of people go in and never come out alive. I'm going to buy some vegetables now." With that, the woman rode her electric tricycle toward the market. She had been showing off to the foreigners early this morning, which had given her immense pleasure.

The knights of the Silver Kingdom, holding the rice stalks in their hands, suddenly felt that even the 3,000-jin (1,500 kg) of divine grain per mu (0.067 hectares) didn't taste so good. In their country, a crop yielding 500-jin (250 kg) per mu was already considered a miracle of a bumper harvest.

Here, even 10,000 jin per mu might not be the limit...

"Knight Commander, what should we do?" a young knight asked.

They were all terrified by the crops in this "heavenly" place and had no idea what to do. They also wondered if their group of ten or so people could really take over the farm.

The knight commander was also panting heavily. He looked at the farm in the distance, facing the sun, and said, "Conquer! This is sacred land, a place we have always dreamed of. We cannot be cowardly because of fear. After we conquer it, we can just pay tribute to the suzerain state. I'm sure the suzerain state wouldn't mind a farm, would it?"

He comforted himself in this way in his heart.

Then, the knight commander's stomach growled.

His composure vanished instantly. They had been on the run for a day and a night, escaping the Silver Kingdom and traversing hundreds of kilometers of forest, and were already exhausted.

“Alright, knights, since things have come to this, let’s eat first,” Princess Silver suggested.

"Yes!"

So they started using local materials, digging a pit, filling it with nearby firewood, and then harvesting a large handful of rice and peeling it directly.

The rice, boiled in water, turned a milky white color, and its rich aroma made even the princess swallow hard.

They had been starving for far too long.

"Finish resting quickly, then we'll take over the farm!" the knight commander said.

Just as he finished speaking, a portal tore through space, and Xue Luding, wearing slippers and pajamas, walked out, looking at these country bumpkins from another world who seemed to be playing a survival game with an unfriendly expression.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard the words "take over the farm".

This damn country bumpkin from another world is too arrogant; we have to take a hard line.

At this moment, the people of the Silver Kingdom were stunned. The teleportation portal that tore through space made them pause. Although Xue Luding was dressed casually, his handsome appearance, which even his dark circles could not hide, immediately shocked both men and women. Even the Silver Princess was stunned, as if she were being charmed.

Similarly, their ability to open portals also shocked them.

A young, legendary mage!

Everyone turned to look at the strongest court mage among them.

But now the monk is drenched in sweat.

Others might only think Xue Lude is a legendary level, although he senses that Xue Lude has only recently reached the legendary level. But his instinctive seventh sense makes his hair stand on end when he sees Xue Lude.

That sense of threat from those in power was far more terrifying than that of witches or dragons—no, a thousand times more terrifying!
"Caw! How is this possible? How could there be a mage of this level here!"

The court magician even considered using a shapeshifting spell to transform himself into a harmless little frog in order to escape the terrifying aura.

The knight commander looked at Xue Dinglu and said with what he considered great respect, "Foreign mage, we are the Silver Kingdom's royal family, exiled here. We desire a piece of land to restore our kingdom. If you agree to cede this farm to us, we will appoint you as a member of the royal court..."

"Give way my foot!" Xue Dinglu immediately unleashed a holy light slap at the enemy with zero frames.
