036 Harvest and Gifts
Mercy Nong
On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil.
Who knows that Chinese food is hard work?
As a farming lord, Chen Fei can best understand the hardships of being a farmer.
Even now, with hundreds of lords, he is no longer alone, and he is tired enough in this task of harvesting jade bud rice.
At first, it was okay, the elf had a lot of energy, and the harvest work was fast and good.
But slowly as time passed, the elf's physical strength was consumed, and the body the size of the mist mass shrank slightly, and the speed of harvesting jade bud rice slowed down.
Seeing that the elves' physical strength had decreased, Chen Fei decisively let them rest first. Let the goblin, who had been playing beside him, pick up the scythe and start working.
Adult goblins, as fantasy creatures, are a little worse than ordinary human beings. After such a long period of cultivation, my physical fitness has improved a lot. It's not as exaggerated as Piro, but it's not bad.
The only regret is their height, standing in the rice field just a little bit taller than the jade bud rice, a little embarrassing.
They picked up the sickle, and instead of directly cutting down the grain like elves, they could only cut off the whole jade sprout rice plant and pile it aside like other people who participated in the harvest.
Fifty goblins, ten meters wide will definitely not fit. Fortunately, Chen Fei's harvesting progress far exceeded that of the others, and he had already gone straight into the rice field, and there were no other people around him.
Going deep into the rice field, Chen Fei didn't have to take care of others, and chose to bloom on three sides, letting the goblins do their best to harvest the rice.
The most dazzling are the five Terran farmers, their harvesting speed is amazingly fast, and the five goblins can't catch up with a human farmer.
With a wave of the sickle in the hand of the Terran farmer, it slashed through the jade bud rice with a slight white light, and a piece of rice was neatly cut, like an efficient harvester.
This is a unique skill of the Terran peasants [Resource Collection], which usually does not show mountains or water, but at this time it shows its might.
Chen Fei looked at the efficient resource gathering skill, looked at the goblin on the side, and gave up the idea of letting them learn this skill after thinking about it.
Adult goblins are positioned primarily for combat, and this time harvesting rice is just an exception, and it's not worth it to distract them from learning other skills.
When the goblins and farmers were busy, Chen Fei was not idle, and the old goblins were practicing drawing divine patterns, and there was no way to help him condense spiritual water.
Chen Fei could only do it himself, casting the spiritual rain seal again and again, condensing the aura of water from heaven and earth.
The elves, who have been tired for a long time, are bathed in the rain full of aura. The rain with aura flowed through their spirits, nourishing their spirits, washing away the fatigue accumulated from collecting jade bud rice, and making them scream in comfort.
When the goblins and Terran farmers ran out of energy, the rested elves continued to go into battle and were responsible for collecting jade bud rice.
In this way, Chen Fei's team maintained an efficient forward speed and continued to expand the harvesting area of jade bud rice.
In the constant work, time flies.
It didn't take long for the sun to slowly set over the hills, and night was coming.
"Three hundred and seventy-one acres!"
Every acre of rice field under Chen Fei's command is harvested, a little emerald green light will fly into Chen Fei's identity crystal card, and the number on the crystal card will be increased by one.
From the beginning of the mission until now, Chen Fei has harvested three hundred and seventy-one acres of jade bud rice paddy fields with the help of the lords, and exchanged them for spirit stones, which is three hundred and seventy-one spirit stones.
It looks like a lot, but on average, on the head of each leader, it is only a half-spirit stone, but it takes seven or eight hours of time, and there is sweat and hard work all over the body.
Of course, this is not to say that the people under Chen Fei are slow to earn spirit stones, but that spirit stones are difficult to earn and have a high value.
In the same amount of time as Chen Fei, it is already very good to be able to cut an acre of rice field, and it is only a spirit stone.
Chen Fei's subordinates have professional collection techniques, and he constantly uses the Spirit Rain Seal to gather spiritual water to restore the physical strength of the people, and coordination and cooperation have achieved such results.
As night fell, another bell rang throughout the Maple Plain.
Chen Fei stopped, the emerald green light of the crystal card in his hand flickered, and a line of text appeared on it.
"Please return to the open space as soon as possible!"
What's going on?
Chen Fei, who participated in this kind of mission for the first time, didn't know what was going on and was at a loss, but he had to stop the people who were still busy.
The generals retracted the territory space, and glanced at the jade bud rice fields that were still white, and Chen Fei walked towards the open space with doubts in his mind.
Doesn't it say that the jade bud rice should be harvested as soon as it is ripe? Why do you have to go back now?
By the time he walked back to the clearing, many people had gathered in the clearing, and all the people who had gone with him to harvest the rice had returned. Gathered in twos and threes, facing the direction of the rice fields, I don't know what they were talking about.
It didn't seem to be disappointing at all because of the return.
The sharp-eared warriors who were handing out the tools were also in the clearing, taking out a branch and settling the wages of those who had just returned to the clearing.
Chen Fei walked over, there were few people in front of him, and it was his turn immediately.
Handing the identity crystal card to the sharp-eared warrior, he took the branch and gently swept it on the crystal card, and the fruits of Chen Fei's labor were immediately displayed on the crystal card.
Three hundred and eighty.
The sharp-eared warrior glanced at Chen Fei and respectfully sent the bag containing the spirit stone to Chen Fei.
"My lord, here are three hundred and eighty spirit stones, please keep them!"
Chen Fei took the bag containing the spirit stones, and his spiritual power penetrated into it and swept it, it was indeed three hundred and eighty spirit stones, which was not bad at all.
Although the pointy-eared warriors belong to the official organization, when it comes to the matter of spirit stones, Chen Fei still adheres to his usual cautious attitude.
"By the way, this is my first time on this mission, and I see that there are still so many rice fields and there is no harvest, why did you call me back?"
Putting the spirit stone into the realm space, Chen Fei asked the sharp-eared warrior in front of him in confusion.
"My lord, I'll be happy to answer your questions!"
The sharp-eared warrior replied respectfully when he heard Chen Fei's question.
"The task of [Harvesting Jade Bud Rice] is originally our lord, and His Highness Yueyue specially issued a welfare task to celebrate the bumper harvest of rice!
"Harvest festival?"
After Chen Fei heard the news, his spirit was a little dazed and he also felt a little sad.
When he was still exhausted by hundreds of spirit stones, the hateful Xu Yueyue had already regarded tens of thousands of spirit stones as a gift to his people.
The gap is just too big.
In an instant, the three hundred and eighty spirit stones that he had just earned were not fragrant at all.
"Wow, look! The harvest festival has begun, and His Highness Yueyue has come out?"
