Night.

Duke quietly left the farm and headed south into the bush.

Sure that he would not encounter any more people around, he turned on the Sand Eagle's tactical lamp, and in an instant the entire bush returned to daylight.

"This brightness, stunning!"

"Moreover, the consumption of spiritual power is not large, at least I maintain this output strength, and the spiritual sea will not be exhausted all day." He is now a four-star spiritual apprentice, and the spiritual power in the spiritual sea has greatly increased.

Far from being so embarrassed when the liquid is accumulated.

Suddenly.

In the snowdrift on the left, there is a movement.

Duke raised his hand and turned the sand eagle, and the tactical light illuminated the left, revealing a hare jumping out of a snowdrift in search of food.

Illuminated by the strong light of the flashlight, he was stunned and motionless.

With his feet in his hands, Duke quickly lunged at the hare, leaping to catch the motionless hare.

"And the windfall."

In the past, Duke rarely hunted this kind of small prey, because the power of the sand eagle bullets was too strong, and the flesh would explode when rubbed against it, and there was no complete corpse left.

Unexpectedly, after the hare was irradiated by the bright light, it stood still and waited to be caught.

"Maybe you were blinded by the strong light, and when you encounter a spirit beast attack in the future, maybe you can use a tactical light to blind the opponent by surprise, especially the green laser."

Duke took the hare's ears and hurried back with joy.

The snow was already half a meter deep for a day and a night, and he waded through the thick snow, illuminating the road with tactical lights, and hurried back to Beye step by step.

"Boss."

"Levine, I haven't slept yet."

"Sister Sally is afraid that the snow will crush the greenhouse, so I came to clear the snow." Levine responded humbly that he was particularly hard-working.

Sally was also clearing the snow in the greenhouse.

Duke nodded, he didn't go to clear the snow, as a farmer, there was no need to do such a small thing himself.

He returned to his studio on the second floor and began renovating the scrapped spirit cards.

"Xiaoyi, report on my cultivation progress."

"Good master, your current Linghai level is a four-star spiritual apprentice (connected by wires), the promotion progress is estimated to be 31.2%, and the time budget is 984 days."

984 days, that's almost three years.

This refers to the amount of time it takes for Duke to upgrade without a major epiphany, relying on the penance meditation method, which is the maximum time value.

Actually, it won't take so many days.

Because in the process of repairing and renovating the Duke, there will always be such and such feelings, small or large, and then advance the progress of cultivation.

For example, his 31.2% progress was achieved after many perceptions.

Otherwise, in two months, it would be very good to be able to reach 5% progress by penance, which is also the reason why most spiritual apprentices have spent their entire lives in the apprenticeship stage - after all, they don't have Xiaoyi, and they hang up 24 hours a day.

"It's a pity that I haven't found 2 ring spirit cards recently, and I repair 1 ring spirit card every day, and I have finished feeling everything I should feel......"

"Tsk!"

Xiao Dou stood on the shelf of the workbench, opening his mouth to make a chirping sound at the air in front of him, a gesture he had often repeated for the past two days.

This is a harbinger of the imminent activation of the arcane.

When the qi and blood of the juvenile spirit beast grows to a certain extent, the spirit engraved in the bloodline will spontaneously give birth to a spell model, so that it can release the arcane.

However, Duke didn't know what type of first arcane magic would be inspired.

"Work hard!"

"Tsk!"

After a few busy hours, all the accumulated scrapped spirit cards were completely renovated.

Now Duke's skills in repairing cards are not much different from those of many years of masters, and there are small arts to formulate repair plans, and the technology has reached its peak.

And unlike other card repairers, Duke is also very material-efficient.

How many materials should be used, Xiaoyi has calculated clearly and clearly, highlighting a diligent and thrifty housekeeper.

"Take a shower and go to sleep!"

……

In a flash, it was two days before the New Year's Festival.

Aunt Abi has been taken off by Duke and has gone home to accompany her family.

Sally had no other relatives, so she stayed at Little Duke Farm with her two children. Levin's parents came once and asked for a little money from Levine, but they didn't tell Levine to go back for the New Year's Day.

"I don't want to go back either." Levin said in a loud voice.

His parents treated him badly and kicked Levin out of the house as an adult, leaving him alone, resulting in Levin being expelled from Little Samshoka and not even having a place to live.

Now that Levine has a stable job, his parents rarely come to visit him, still to ask Levine for money.

"Then stay here and spend the New Year with me." Duke said.

"Hmm."

"Aunt Abi is not here, so I will trouble Sister Sally to cook."

"Don't worry." Sally patted her chest and said, "Although I am not as good at cooking as Aunt Abi, it is still no problem to arrange a table of New Year's meals." ”

At Little Duke Farm, preparing a New Year's meal.

In the evening, a guest arrived.

"What, little Duke doesn't know me anymore?" The guest, a woman, stood on the front steps of the gate, took off her cloak and shook the snow from it.

It was Xena, the new leader of the Broken Sword Mercenary Corps, who had traded with Duke before.

The difference is that she used to wear a face covering, but now she doesn't.

A face is not pretty, but the facial features are very tough, and she looks like a female mercenary with a very sassy style.

"Captain Zina, please come in." Duke smiled slightly, and his heart came to life.

"Well, this house is well decorated, if I wasn't a spiritual planter, I would also like to buy a farm and run it slowly."

"Captain Zina can hire a spirit planter."

"It's not cheap to hire a spirit planter."

After the two were polite, Duke invited Xena to sit down in the living room, and asked Sally, who was preparing food in the kitchen, to pour Xena a cup of hot coffee.

"Is Captain Zina looking for me to have a business to work with?"

"Indeed...... Find a quiet place. ”

"Let's go to the study on the second floor and talk."

Duke took Xena to the study on the second floor, and the little pocket in the breeding room was very clever, and when he heard someone coming over, he hid directly, and he didn't worry about being found out at all.

Zina glanced at the study: "There are a lot of books, Boss Duke is really a studious person, I'm afraid it costs a lot of gold to buy these books, right?" ”

Self-built cottages, each room is spacious.

The same is true of the study, where the desk is by the window, and the other three walls are lined with bookshelves.

It was already full of all kinds of books, all second-hand books that Duke had paid for, most of them from Shenjiao City. After all, the Faling Society Library in Sheshou Town can borrow books without spending money to buy them, but the Shenjiao City Library will not allow villagers to borrow them.

"It is an immutable truth that if you want to acquire knowledge, you have to spend money."

"Not bad."

"Captain Zina, what kind of spirit card do you want to repair this time?" Duke asked.

"Let's put this aside for a while, I want to ask, little Duke boss, your card repairer friend, how about the speed of card repair, is it that the 2nd and 3rd ring spirit cards are seriously damaged, and they can be repaired? If it's fast and technical, we can make a lot of money together. ”

After Zina finished speaking, she sat down in her chair and silently sipped her coffee.

Duke frowned: "You mean, you have a stable channel to obtain a large number of badly damaged 2-ring and 3-ring spirit cards?" ”

Xena does not deny: "Not bad. ”
