Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

Xingxiong really wants to be a colleague with such a person.

Sir Chen also tilted his ear to listen.

"No, I gave up recruiting."

"He has greater ideals. Joining the Imperial Guard pales in comparison to his ambitions."

"What ideal?!"

Sir Chen and Xingxiong immediately became interested.

However, Shi Huaiya smiled slyly: "Secret! I won't tell!"

"cut!!"

Shi Huaiya added, "However, I also reached a verbal promise with Lu Yuan when we were chatting. If he is in trouble, I will help him. Conversely, he will also help the Guard Bureau when they encounter difficult and powerful criminals."

Xingxiong said without hesitation: "Yes, our Guard Bureau should not be arrogant. Cooperating with such people is also a good choice."

"But...I'm more concerned about..."

"What on earth have you been talking about all day? I'm curious!"

Xingxiong's eyes looked at Shi Huaiya.

Sir Chen also shifted his gaze and stopped at Shi Huaiya.

Shi Huaiya laughed, did not answer, stood up and went to order food, leaving the two people confused.

............

The next day.

Lu Yuan went to the farmland early in the morning, condensed a large group of growth droplets and merged them with water, and evenly sprinkled them on all the rice seedlings in the ten acres of land.

This time, because the area of ​​acreage has been expanded to ten acres, and because of the dilution of growing water droplets, each irrigation can only shorten the growth cycle of rice seedlings by about five days.

But the efficiency is still very fast.

Under normal circumstances, rice takes 100 to 150 days to mature, but with this kind of daily catalytic growth, it will mature in a maximum of one month.

This kind of life repeats itself day by day and continues day by day.

Go to the fields in the morning, spread the growth liquid, inspect the fields, control the amount of water and spread some fertilizer appropriately.

The only difference from before is.

Every morning, Shi Huaiya would send Lu Yuan a good morning message on social media.

Although there was basically no other communication between the two after that.

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Under Lu Yuan's care day after day.

Ten acres of rice, from the transplanting stage to the tillering stage, then to the jointing stage, to the heading stage... until now...

The rice is fully mature.

Moreover, Lu Yuan's proficiency in controlling wood has also achieved a breakthrough, from entry-level to proficient.

And, the moment you step into proficiency.

The ability [Control Wood] has finally undergone a fundamental change.

In addition to becoming more proficient in the most basic "catalytic growth", he can also sense plants and absorb some natural energy from the plants and gather it in his own body, which can recover injuries, physical strength, and even improve his own strength to a certain extent.

This new ability didn't have a name, so Lu Yuan named it "Natural Mode".

However, Lu Yuan had tried it before.

Although the 'Natural Mode' at the proficient stage can absorb the energy of nature into the body to assist itself, the increase is limited. Even if it increases strength, it will only increase by about 10% to 20% at most.

Although it is just a small thing, it is better than nothing.

Likewise, this also allowed Lu Yuan to see the future. When he became more proficient in [Control Wood], perhaps this 'Natural Mode' would truly become Lu Yuan's trump card.

At this moment, Lu Yuan rolled up his trouser legs and carefully walked from the edge of the field to the center of the entire rice field.

The sun shines on the golden rice fields, and the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of rice.

Lu Yuan stood in the center of this golden scene.

His shadow was stretched very long by the soft sunlight. The rice ears in the rice fields were bent heavy, as if paying tribute to Lu Yuan in the center.

Lu Yuan carefully picked up a rice plant. The golden rice grains were heavy, just like a newborn baby, full of hope, which made Lu Yuan involuntarily smile with joy from the bottom of his heart.

at this time.

A clear voice sounded in Lu Yuan's mind.

[Congratulations! Ordinary rice has matured (over five acres)]

[Unlock common crops 'common potatoes', 'common wheat', and 'common corn']

[Unlock the advanced crop 'Proliferation Rice I']

[Proliferated Rice I: A completely new rice variety improved from ordinary rice, with a yield per mu 30% higher than ordinary rice.]

[Gained 1 field experience. 1/5 is required to reach the next level.]

【Based on your ability, obtain exclusive skills 【Water Array Wall】

A large number of pop-up reminders flashed before Lu Yuan's eyes.

Lu Yuan opened the system store.

I saw that the system store, which originally had only one product, now had five.

Ordinary rice and ordinary wheat are in the same row. Since their quality is ordinary, the selling price is still zero.

As for the higher level [Proliferation Rice I], the price is marked below.

10 points/mu

So far, Lu Yuan’s points are still zero. According to the instructions, points will only be provided after people are full, but now the rice has just matured and has not yet turned into food to fill people’s stomachs.

As for the last new capabilities provided.

[Water Array Wall]: Mobilizes a waterfall-like amount of water to form a circular rotating water wall, creating a defense with no blind spots.

If it was just about using water to form a water wall, then even without this ability, Lu Yuan could still condense a water wall.

However, the ability of [Water Array Wall] can make the defense of the water wall stronger with the help of hand seals.

ps: Ask for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets~~~

Volume 1: Chapter 11 I don't mind using your flesh and blood as nutrients for my crops

According to the memory granted by this ability.

Although it was his first time using it, Lu Yuan was already making hand seals skillfully.

With every hand seal, Lu Yuan could clearly feel that the source stone in his body had become more condensed in terms of mobilization.

'ha! ’

As Lu Yuan clapped his hands, he could even clearly hear the roar of the source stone energy rolling in his body.

Water Wall

Tsunami-like waves appeared out of thin air around Lu Yuan, and the waves rotated around Lu Yuan at high speed. A semicircular water gun with a 360-degree coverage appeared out of thin air around Lu Yuan.

The surface of the water wall is not forbidden, but the water flow is rotating at a high speed. Just based on this point, ordinary artillery shells may not be able to break through the defense of the water wall.

At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly discovered something.

The use of [Water Array Wall] did not draw water from the surrounding area, but directly converted the source stone energy into water.

Normally, when Lu Yuan uses the [Water Control] Source Stone skill, he does not generate water directly, but uses magic to manipulate the water vapor in the air and the water under the ground.

Therefore, Lu Yuan's source stone skills were still somewhat awkward in a completely waterless environment.

However, the appearance of [Water Array Wall] completely broke Lu Yuan's only weakness.

"Not bad!"

Lu Yuan grinned and looked at the blue sky and the golden rice fields. He felt particularly comfortable in his heart, as if all the good things in the world had been taken by him.

Not satisfied with just one try, Lu Yuan practiced it many times.

After becoming proficient enough to form hand seals instantly, he stopped.

Lu Yuan had such a huge harvest from just one harvest of ordinary rice, which made him look forward to the subsequent crops even more.

Looking at the golden sea of rice, Lu Yuan did not start harvesting.

He had already planned to live in the slums. Since the rice was ripe, Lu Yuan had time to go to the slums today to see if he could rent a house that was on the edge but in decent overall condition.

..........

The slums are located in the outermost part of Longmen's urban area. The overall area is quite large. There is a high wall in the middle, dividing the slums and the main urban area into two worlds.

Lu Yuan can be said to be a frequent visitor to the slums.

In the past year, all the wanted criminals he arrested were basically hiding in the slums, avoiding the searches of the Guards in this mixed environment.

and.

Due to the chaos in the slums themselves, he extremely dislikes the uniformed members of the Imperial Guard.

Therefore, even the Guard Bureau could only explore the edge of the slums at most, and it was difficult to go deep into the depths of the slums.

Therefore, there is a brand new order in the slums, a set of rules set by the king of the slums, the "Gray Lin" who only circulated in legends.

Once you step into the slums, the environment inside can only be described as dirty and messy.

The clogged sewers were filled with black, smelly water that flowed onto the road.

There were refugees lying on the ground everywhere, with flies flying around them.

Even from a distance of a thousand meters, one could smell the sour odor on his body that had fermented from not having taken a bath for who knows how long.

Although these intricately arranged houses in the slums are dilapidated, each one has its own owner, just like in the main urban area.

Suddenly, a purple figure stood in front of Lu Yuan, blocking his way.

Before Lu Yuan lowered his head, he saw a pair of exceptionally long purple rabbit ears swaying. When he moved his eyes downward, he saw the owner of the purple rabbit ears standing in front of him.

A petite and thin girl from Carters, with delicate features but dark and rough skin and tattered clothes.

"Sir! How can I help you?!"

The Carters girl showed a 'flattering' smile. Although her skin was very poor, her amber eyes were quite beautiful. Her eyes were cunning as she glanced at Lu Yuan all over his body.

"How did you know I needed help?"

Lu Yuan is the "Big Breast King" who has captured countless wanted criminals in the slums.

He is quite familiar with the laws of the slums.

Little girls, old people and children walking alone on the street are not easy to mess with, as they all have their own lives on their hands.

"Oh, your clothes are so neat and tidy, you can tell at a glance that you are not from our slum. You must have come here for something."

"My name is Anso. I've lived in the slums since I was a child. I'm very familiar with this place. No matter what you need, I can help you. However, I need a little reward..."

An Suo looked like a veteran.

Lu Yuan was too lazy to hide it and told the truth: "I want to find an empty house to live here temporarily."

"An empty house?!"

An Suo didn't expect this kind of request. His beautiful eyes moved flexibly and an idea came to his mind.

"Yes, yes, yes! There's an empty house!!"

Then, An Suo walked in front and led Lu Yuan towards a place in the slums.

It took about ten minutes to walk.

The two stopped in front of a rough house with relatively intact walls, no windows, but the exterior of the empty windows were covered with paper.

An Suo pushed open the shabby but barely functional door.

"This is where I live. I have my daily necessities in here, as you can tell. Plus, this is the house with the best-preserved walls around here! What do you think?"
