The Lord of Glimmer plants the sun in the eternal night.

Ye Xuan was shocked by the sight of grains growing out of thin air at this time of year.

Jiang Chuan, however, was not surprised.

Anyone who has ever farmed knows that this is perfectly normal.

It just needs to be hung up a bit.

Jiang Chuan looked at the Micro-Light Research Manual; the preface page contained information about himself.

[Lord of the Glimmering Light: Jiang Chuan]

[Talent Sequence: Cultivator (Tier 0, Stage 3)]

[Sequence Characteristics: Crop Care I (Accelerates crop growth (x1))]

[Ether: 0]

...

[Research direction unlocked: Agriculture]

...

"The power of the seed, three stages?"

Jiang Chuan chuckled inwardly.

After the eternal night descended, everything in this world changed.

As plants and animals mutate, humanity must also seek awakening in order to survive.

Therefore, as time goes by, everyone will experience self-awakening when they reach a certain age.

only--

Awakening isn't something you can simply acquire by choosing a specific talent sequence.

A farmer's child will only ever be a farmer.

In other words, there is a very high probability that the "farmer" sequence will be awakened, which brings almost no change to a person.

It simply means improving physical fitness so that planting activities become easier.

For example, Jiang Chuan's sequence characteristic is that he can accelerate the growth rate of crops he plants himself.

So in the past, he would be in charge of sowing the grain every spring.

As for his elder brother, he is the "Sword Bearer".

As the name suggests, they are humans who specialize in combat.

This group is also the backbone of humanity; when faced with aliens and strange creatures, it is always they who fight against them.

This is also why the eldest brother was able to become a mountain patroller.

Uh, don't get me wrong, he's definitely my older brother. Farmers' kids can join the army too.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chuan did not awaken to become a "Sword Bearer".

But as a "farmer," he could accept it at this point, since he came from a major agricultural country. The idea of ​​farming was ingrained in his bones.

Moreover, this sequence can now save his life.

Jiang Chuan believes that the combined effect of crop care characteristics and agricultural research is not as simple as one plus one, but rather exponential.

Thinking of this, he looked at the tender young shoots in the nursery and smiled.

The tension, fear, and confusion brought about by suddenly being transported to this dangerous and unknown world dissipated considerably in that instant.

At least... there is hope.

No more despair.

"Ah Shui, have you awakened again?" Ye Xuan asked excitedly after regaining her senses.

"Um."

Jiang Chuan did not provide a specific explanation; he was still studying the matter of the manual.

"Sister-in-law, let me fill the rest of the empty space with crops. If nothing unexpected happens, we won't need to borrow any more grain."

With his talent, I reckon these ordinary crops will be ripe by tomorrow evening.

When the harvest is ready, we won't have to go hungry anymore.

"Ah Shui, you're amazing."

Although Ye Xuan found it hard to believe, she still chose to believe Jiang Chuan.

So Jiang Chuan then buried sweet potato seeds in some corners of the nursery as well.

"Yes, Big Potato, Second Potato, Third Potato, grow up quickly, Daddy is waiting for you."

Ye Xuan, who was standing to the side, burst out laughing, seemingly amused by Jiang Chuan's naming of the crops.

However, the new shoots emerging from the soil trembled slightly in the wind, as if expressing their joy.

Crop care.

Naming is also part of the play.

...

Sudden.

Jiang Chuan felt a surge of heat spreading from his spine to his limbs and bones.

If his life was initially like a candle flickering in the wind, then the current warmth is like a candle that has been lit up again, no longer teetering on the brink of collapse.

But before one could truly experience it, the heat disappeared without a trace, leaving one wanting more.

This is?

Jiang Chuan checked the panel immediately.

Sure enough, it was upgraded.

The power of the seed has reached level four.

Each breakthrough in sequence level brings some benefits to the body.

However, the way to break through is not like cultivating immortality by absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy.

Instead, one should do things related to one's own sequence. For example, a farmer should keep farming in order to advance.

For the swordsman, it's all about "fighting, it's awesome!"

...

"Take your time."

Jiang Chuan will consider these things once things look promising again.

"Ah Shui, what should we do now?" Without the pressure of food, Ye Xuan felt much better and asked Jiang Chuan with her beautiful eyes.

Looking at her skin, red from the cold, and her face gradually turning pale.

Perhaps I've been working so hard for so long that I haven't had a proper rest.

If this continues, even if Ye Xuan doesn't freeze to death, she will fall seriously ill.

Jiang Chuan then said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go back to your room first, light the fire pit, and get some rest?"

"Now that I'm better, it's my turn to take care of you, sister-in-law."

"Um."

Ye Xuan responded softly and did not insist any further, gracefully walking into Jiang Chuan's house.

Jiang Chuan, on the other hand, continued to examine the other branches on the research panel.

"The grain is not yet ripe, and I cannot just wait idly."

"We're running out of wood at home; we need it for starting fires, cooking, and heating during the day."

Jiang Chuan glanced at the nearby mountains and forests. There was no shortage of timber, but logging was very time-consuming.

Given his current physical condition, he can't hold on for long in this weather.

"Should we conduct tool research? To transform tools into something more effective?"

The tool section of the Micro-Light Research Handbook features a combination of a hammer and a sickle.

It represents weapons and tools.

There are also many directions for transformation.

For example, [speed], [damage], [hardness]...

"Perhaps we can improve the sharpness of the axe, which would make felling trees much faster," Jiang Chuan thought to himself.

But if we do that, we'll have to refine another flint into ether.

That leaves only one flint, which means it can't be used by two people.

Suddenly, Jiang Chuan seemed to remember something. He recalled that his elder brother had once said that flint was produced by a fire spring.

Besides waiting for the annual active period of the Fire Spring to automatically generate flints, there is another way, which requires the input of a certain item.

That's the strange creature lurking in the darkness!

If you kill the monster and then put it into the fire spring, flint will be born even outside of its active period.

As long as he can kill the monster, he won't have to worry about the flint.

"But how do we kill him?"

Jiang Chuan was in a dilemma. He was not a swordsman and had no strength to kill a chicken. How could he deal with the strange creature that could easily take people's lives?

We can only rely on existing methods, such as the Micro-Light Research Manual.

Surprisingly, two minutes later, it was actually found.

In the field of architecture, he can illuminate research on resisting and attacking strange creatures.

[Level 1 Trap (Monster Special Attack) (Requires 1 Ether to activate): Deals some damage to low-level monsters.]

...

Jiang Chuan remembered that his older brother had bought an iron animal trap from town, specifically for hunting.

If this research is enabled, could animal traps be used to hunt monsters?

Once the idea took hold, it was unstoppable.

"call..."

Jiang Chuan's eyes gleamed. He knew this was highly likely. After all, no one would ever use a trap to deal with a strange creature, and such creatures wouldn't be wary of it.

Moreover, low-level monsters are not very intelligent.

He walked to the fire spring almost without hesitation and picked up another flint.

However, he did not refine it immediately, but instead planned to ask his sister-in-law for her opinion.

So he went back inside.

Inside the hut, the room where they rested was somewhat dim because the fire pit had not yet come to life.

A graceful figure was fiddling with the fire pit in front of the bed.

She was bent over, her long, straight legs in black trousers, and looking up, one could see her buttocks encased in fabric...

This pose makes it appear even rounder, like a bowling ball.

"Sigh, when my older brother was around, he never let us have bad food," Jiang Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Xuan had also started a fire. Seeing Jiang Chuan return to the house, she said softly:

"Ah Shui, you should warm up too."

Jiang Chuan said, "Sister-in-law, I..."
