After the divorce, he settled in Northwest China and became a Shennong (a legendary Chinese farmer).

"It's still early, why don't we work overtime and clean up the remaining 20 acres of land?"

The 50 mu of saline-alkali land has been cleared, and 10 mu of the 30 mu of farmland has also been cleared, leaving 20 mu to be cleared.

Dong Jun calculated that there were very few stones in the 30 mu of farmland to begin with, and with a little more effort, the battle could be finished in about an hour.

"Yes, yes, let's finish before we call it a day."

Ai Kebai also supported working overtime, so Gu Tong didn't say anything more.

Working together, the three of them completed their first stone-collecting task in just one hour and 20 minutes.

"Brother Dong, Aikebai, come to my house for dinner, and then you can go back."

After all, the other person is working for him, so he can't just not even provide a meal, right?

Both Aikebai and Dong Jun were exhausted. Not everyone can be like Gu Tong, who is still full of energy after a day's work.

"I'm not going. It's not that I'm being polite; I just want to go home and lie down right now."

Dong Jun was unwilling to make things complicated, so Gu Tong had no choice but to give up.

Aikebai followed Gu Tong into the yard, unloaded the stone-collecting machine, and drove off in the tractor.

He was a little tired, and on the other hand, guests had come to his house, so he had to go back for dinner that night.

Later, Gu Tong made a big pot of mixed stew, which included beef, vermicelli, frozen tofu, and cabbage. The beef was stewed until tender and flavorful, and the side dishes absorbed the aroma of the beef broth, making it very delicious.

He ate three large bowls of rice by himself, and then gave the leftover food to Little Stone.

The nights in Nasu are cool, and standing in the courtyard, you can clearly see the starry sky. The nights in Nasu are also quiet, just like the snow-capped mountains that have stood there for countless years, never associated with liveliness.

Gu Tong took a few slow walks around the yard, then went back inside, sat down at his desk, and opened the control panel.

[Effective operation (fertilization), Shennong value +8]

[Effective task (collecting stones), Shennong value +8]

[Influence expands, Shennong value +3]

Shennong Value: 38 points

......

He was pleased to have confirmed several things.

First, his "contractor theory" was validated. Although he did not participate in Dong Jun's fertilizer application today, he still obtained all of the Shennong points.

This is related to the agricultural machinery service agreement he signed with Professor Mao, and also to the fact that he repaired the fertilizer spreader.

Secondly, his live stream today was successful, gaining 300 new followers and bringing his total follower count to over 2300. This shows that as long as he starts live streaming and his content is acceptable to most people, his follower count will naturally increase.

Live streaming is also an important way to obtain Shennong points. It may be slow in the early stages, but there may be unexpected surprises later.

As for the Shennong points gained from collecting stones, they seem rather unremarkable in comparison.

"I've accumulated quite a few Shennong Points, what should I exchange them for?"

While happy, Gu Tong was also caught in a dilemma.

The Shennong Pavilion offers countless inheritances, skills, and other items for exchange. Since he had very limited Shennong points, he could only consider immediate benefits.

In addition to spring planting, he also needs to build a sheepfold and raise a batch of lambs. Once the lambs grow up, he can sell them and earn a considerable income.

Hiring someone to build a sheep pen is not a bad idea, but it's always good to have more skills, so he thought he could consider exchanging for the entry-level skill [Carpentry].

In addition, he also set his sights on the veterinarian.

Although he already possessed the "Basic Livestock Farming" section, this part of the inheritance covers a wide range and fails to elaborate in detail on the prevention and treatment of livestock diseases.

The section on veterinary medicine provides a detailed introduction to the types of diseases, prevention methods, diagnostic techniques, and treatment methods for livestock such as cattle, horses, and sheep, serving as a valuable supplement and extension to the section on basic animal husbandry.

However, the price for exchanging basic inheritance points starts at 50 Shennong points, and his current Shennong point reserves are simply insufficient.

Another thing is to work hard to improve your realm. There are realm requirements for exchanging for the advanced chapters of various inheritances. If you think about it this way, no amount of Shennong points will be enough to spend.

"First, exchange for the [Carpentry] skill. You'll need it frequently for everything from repairing sheep pens to daily life. Don't save the remaining Shennong points; use them to upgrade skills."

Gu Tong made a decision, so he spent 10 Shennong Points to exchange for the entry-level skill [Carpentry] in the [Shennong Pavilion].

Then he spent 20 Shennong points to upgrade the levels of the [Driving] and [Repair] skills.

His personal information was then updated.

[Host: Gu Tong]

[Realm: Ordinary Farmer (0/100)]

【技能：厨艺入门（0/10），木工入门（0/10），驾驶熟练（0/30），修理熟练（0/30）】

[Shennong Pavilion: Unlocked]

Shennong Value: 8 points

[Current Task: The year's plan starts in spring. Complete the spring planting task for the fields under the host's name within 20 days. Reward: 3 (New Year's Gift Boxes)]

......

With a large amount of information flooding his mind, Gu Tong gained a deeper understanding of [driving] and [repairing].

Muscle memory developed as a result, and now he is not only an "old driver" but also a skilled mechanic.

He has now reached a high level of proficiency in driving, operating, repairing, and maintaining agricultural machinery.

If a comparison must be made, in terms of agricultural machinery driving and operation, he can barely be compared to Coach Luo.

After closing the panel, Gu Tong calmed down and edited a video, which she then uploaded to the platform.

the next day.

Gu Tong was inspecting farm machinery in the yard when Ai Kebai arrived.

"Brother Gu, do you maintain and service these farm machines every day?"

Ai Kebai parked the tractor with the rotary tiller attached outside the yard, walked to the farm machinery shed, and greeted Gu Tong.

He wasn't very familiar with the maintenance of agricultural machinery. The training course only lasted a few days, and its main purpose was to get a certificate, so he didn't learn much.

"Yes, maintenance needs to be done regularly. You must carefully check the machinery before using it each day to keep it in top condition. You're here really early today. Have you eaten yet?"

Gu Tong had just finished his work. He took off his gloves and put them aside, then casually asked a question.

"I've already eaten, and I didn't have anything to do at home, so I came over early."

Today's task is to go to Professor Mao's field this morning to perform rotary tillage. Dong Jun already spread fertilizer there yesterday, and if we delay too long, the fertilizer's effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

This was another new challenge for Aikbai, and he was eager to give it a try.

Gu Tong nodded, then washed her hands and ate breakfast.

After breakfast, he and Ai Kebai drove their respective tractors to Professor Mao's field.

"As usual, you should first check the condition of the farm machinery, and then I'll explain a few key points to keep in mind when performing rotary tillage."

Gu Tong fulfilled his responsibility as a "teacher," striving to improve Ai Ke Bai's operational skills through both words and deeds.

After finishing the instructional work before rotary tillage, he set up his phone and started shooting video footage.

Two tractors chug along in the field, with the attached rotary tillers spinning rapidly behind them. Large chunks of soil are broken up by the machine, and the soil and fertilizer are mixed and stirred before being returned to the field.

After the vehicle passed, what appeared in the shot was a flat piece of land.

Ai Kebai's performance today was commendable. Gu Tong did not stop him midway through the game, but pointed out a few minor flaws in his operation during the break.

"Xiao Gu, you guys are making pretty fast progress. It's so much better now, we've basically achieved mechanized farming. Back when I went to the countryside, the villagers used hoes, and they couldn't even cultivate an acre of land in a day, no matter how hard they worked."

While the two were talking, Professor Mao walked over from the edge of the field.

The work efficiency of Gu Tong and others these past few days has greatly surprised him. While Ai Kebai's help was certainly a factor, the main reason was the high efficiency of mechanized operations, which left him deeply impressed.

"Professor Mao, this is all thanks to the power of technology. Look at that smart rotary tiller over there, it comes with Beidou navigation, and it can easily cover 80 acres a day. How can manual labor compare?"

Gu Tong got up and walked over to Professor Mao, responding with a smile.

Professor Mao was not interested in Aikbai, and only gave him a polite greeting before saying nothing more.

But he was very interested in Aikbai's tractor and rotary tiller, and walked up to examine them carefully, even taking out his phone to take a few photos.
