Chapter 155: Killing two birds with one stone
After landing on the dream game on Saturday, Kong Xiuying still went to the practice room of the Mental Mechanics Hall first, and after practicing and figuring out for a period of time, Kong Xiuying also felt that the concentration of spiritual power condensed in her mind was getting higher and higher, and she gradually had a feeling of being about to eject, she hurriedly followed the requirements of the exercise, aimed at the brain of the target person in her mind, and naturally launched the spiritual thorn condensed to the emission concentration, and the system prompted that the spiritual thorn was successfully launched; After taking a break, Kong Xiuying tried to condense the spirit thorn again, this time it was faster than just now, and 5 minutes later, she successfully launched the second spirit thorn of the day. On this day, she spent 8 copper coins.
After coming out of the mental mechanics hall, Kong Xiuying decided to try it again in the place where she farmed, and asked there, farming is also mainly to improve mental power at the same time, you can piggyback on improving the strength value, the way of farming is to use mental power to command the ox to pull a plow to plow the land, people can stand on the plow to command the ox to plow the ground, or people can walk on the ground and press the plow with their hands to command the ox to plow the ground, when the mental power value is 7, you can command a cow, and every time the mental power value increases, you are eligible to command an additional cow to plow the ground; The wage for ploughing is one copper coin for each piece of land that is plowed, and the standard for plowing is that green seedlings will automatically grow on the ground after plowing. In addition, there is no phenomenon of fierce beasts hurting cattle here, and no deposit is required; The oxen and plough are already ready in the field, and you can go directly to work in the field by saying hello to the owner, and just leave when you get off work.
Kong Xiuying felt that this should be her appetite after hearing this, after all, she seemed more elegant; Although her mental strength was much higher than the minimum limit, she decided to try directing an ox to pull a plow at first, and she could be regarded as familiar with the environment.
Since it was her first time in contact with farming, the owner led her to the field with her; There is an ox and a plough have been prepared, Kong Xiuying is a look at the way the ox and the plow are matched to understand what to do this job, and the owner explained to Kong Xiuying the way to plow the land.
The ploughshare is a one-meter-long iron rake type iron piece, the long teeth of the rake are facing the ground, the two ends of the cross arm of the back of the rake tooth are welded with a small iron ring, the ring is tied with a rope and the plow sleeve on the back of the ox, an iron handrail is erected in the center of the cross arm of the back of the rake tooth, people can hold the iron handrail and stand on the smooth surface of the cross arm of the iron rake to direct the ox to march, and can also walk with the rake of the ox on the ground, just press the iron handrail of the rake with both hands while walking, so as to exert vertical downward pressure on the rake, so that the strength can be exercised.
When a straight plow is completed and the ox is turned, the player needs to lift the iron rake and place it in its new position.
Kong Xiuying first stood on the iron rake and commanded the ox to plow, which may be the reason why her mental power is high enough, the cow is very obedient, as long as the next mental power command is issued in time within the time when the ox has completed 8 steps, Kong Xiuying has tried, if she no longer gives the mental power command, the cow will stand motionless after the last mental power command fails.
After this plough, Kong Xiuying came down to change the direction of the plowshare, and then began to stand on the ground and press the plow with her hands, and at the same time ordered the ox to move forward, Kong Xiuying pressed the plow with both hands The depth of the iron rake of the plow when the plough walked on the ground was not as deep as the plow when she stood on the plowshare, but she didn't care about this, she just wanted to be able to exercise her strength while plowing.
Kong Xiuying needed to give mental power instructions to the plough ox while holding down the plowshare, and then she found a problem: when she pressed the plow hard, she couldn't gather her attention at the same time to give mental power commands to the ploughing ox, at first she could only choose to relax her hands first, and then force the plow with both hands after the mental force command was issued.
This also made her understand that it was the same reason that Xu Ran's exercise was the same as when the opponent made a move, because she was not used to using two minds. Kong Xiuying learned from Xu Ran's experience at that time, tried to relax her spirit while strengthening her arms, and tried to exercise the mental power command into her own thinking habits, without being affected by her own strength; When this half-day part-time job was over, Kong Xiuying was already able to press the plowshare with her own strength, and her brain could send mental power instructions to other creatures at will.
In the process of plowing the land for half a day, Kong Xiuying did not keep her hands under the plow to hold the plow and follow the plough ox to move, when she felt that her arms were weak, she would stand on the plow and direct the plough to plough the plough, and then maintain the plough with both hands to hold the plow and walk forward to plow the plough.
In this half day, she completed the task of plowing two plots of land, each 12 meters wide and 30 meters long, and earned 2 copper coins.
After waking up on Saturday afternoon, Kong Xiuying had a long-lost feeling of soreness in her arms after exerting her strength in the dream game, but fortunately it was not too serious, and she also went out to take a bath in the bathroom of the bathing city after she got up, trying to relieve the sore muscles as soon as possible.
After entering the dream game on Sunday afternoon, Kong Xiuying still went to the spirit thorn practice room to practice the spirit thorn first, and successfully launched two spirit thorns and consumed 3 copper coins.
Kong Xiuying then continued to choose to plow the land, she felt that this method should be able to increase her mental strength value while quickly increasing her strength value.
This time she chose to command two oxen, and the plow head was 1.2 meters wide, and the iron rake of the plowshare was now welded with four small iron rings, which were connected to the plough sleeves on the two oxen.
The two cows stand in a row vertically in front and back instead of horizontally in a row, Kong Xiuying was quite puzzled at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood that the spiritual power instructions she issued to the cows were in order, if the two cows were lined up in a horizontal row due to the inconsistent starting time, the two cows could not go hand in hand, and when they were lined up, due to the cushion of the plough on the rope, although the two cows started at the same time, it did not affect them to line up and go forward.
Two oxen pull a plowshare, the speed of travel is faster than when a cow pulls a plowshare, still the ox needs a new mental power command to walk eight steps, which requires her to speed up the speed of issuing mental power commands, fortunately, her mental power value has reached 10 now (after practicing the spirit thorn, the composite value of the mental power value has dropped to 10), and there is the energy to graze 5 sheep at the same time, and the work of commanding these two cows is quite easy. With yesterday's experience, she quickly got used to struggling to hold down the plow with both arms while giving mental commands to the two cows without worrying about dual-mindedness.
But now that the plough was moving faster, she needed to speed up her pace to keep up with the strength of her arms, which she felt was a more effective way to exercise her strength and stamina. She completed the ploughing of three plots of land on Sunday, earning three copper coins. Yesterday she ploughed each piece of land three times, because yesterday when she gave mental commands to the oxen, her arms could not maintain pressure on the plow at the same time, resulting in the shallow depth of the plow in the section through which the plow passed at that time; Although she can give mental commands to the ox today and do not need to relax the pressure on the plowshare, because the plow speed increases with the ox's travel, and with her arms pressing down hard, her downforce has already moved forward with the plough before the depth of the plow into the soil is in place, resulting in her still using three times to complete the ploughing task in each piece of land today.
On Sunday, she also needs to often stand on the plow to rest for a while, then go down to the ground and continue to plow by hand, and when she wakes up in the afternoon, she still has to go to the bathroom outside to take a bath to relieve herself.
This week, she earns 1 gold coin for sewing armor, 5 gold coins for Spiritual Thorn transmission, 2.6 silver coins for practicing Spiritual Thorn, and 5 copper coins for ploughing.
As of this weekend (that is, January 10th), Kong Xiuying's personal game currency has accumulated: 1 silver coin and 9 bronze coins.
As for which one will be more beneficial to the improvement of mental power value between sheep herding and ploughing, Kong Xiuying also discussed with everyone in the group, this thing is not easy to distinguish too clearly, Xu Ran feels that the number of sheep she can herd when herding sheep will be more, and the frequency of mental power commands will be higher; Although she manages relatively few cattle when driving cattle and plowing the land, she can be proficient and adapt to the state of dual-mindedness, and can also exercise her strength value, which seems to be more advantageous for plowing, and the specific benefits have to wait for her to continue to practice.
Tan Yong still works in the blacksmith shop from Monday to Wednesday this week, and practices boxing in the martial arts gym on Thursday and Friday, and after spending a total of 5 silver coins, the proficiency of the left hand style of the primary fist of the Demon Fist has also reached 100%, so far Tan Yong's primary fist of the Demon Fist has been learned.
Tan Yong began to go to the ranch to learn how to herd sheep for the rest of the rest of his time after coming out of the gym on Friday, and he will be in the next stage to exercise his mental strength; On Saturdays and Sundays, he was learning to herd sheep in the pasture.
Cao Jiahui beckoned to buy 20 dairy sheep this week, and the sheepfold that Kong Xiuying's sheep herding base built at that time that could accommodate 40 sheep was all full; If you want to increase the number of sheep in the future, you have to increase the number of sheepfolds and build sheepfolds.
