Chapter 96
She effortlessly cultivated dozens of seeds.
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]
The students in the Department of the Agronomy Department were also dumbfounded.
They all knew Li Yang was formidable, but they still felt they had underestimated her abilities.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yang had cultivated 500 eggs.
In the blink of an eye, there are 1000!
Lin Zhaoqin had to admit defeat. "Senior sister, is it even possible for me to be as amazing as you in this lifetime?"
Li Yang: "..."
How could she explain to her junior sister that her seemingly easy breeding actually consumed 5,000 years of her lifespan?
5000 years!
If this were given to Lin Zhaoqin, she could probably cultivate 50,000 seeds.
Oh, she underestimated Lin Zhaoqin's talent. It's at least 500,000 coins.
The more Li Yang thought about it, the more heartbroken she became, and she decided to stop thinking about it.
She called out to everyone, "I'll go outside the city and designate an area. You'll follow the Plow Ox Clan to plant the Star Plant!"
Li Yang will no longer participate in the planting.
Firstly, she didn't want to take up everyone's opportunity to cultivate, and secondly, she didn't want to humiliate herself.
She always felt that without spending her life on it, she would never be able to grow a single Star Plant before she died.
If you're willing to spend your life...
Even if Lianlian helps her with household expenses, her lifespan is almost over.
Fortunately, she was able to harvest the crops after everyone had finished planting the first batch.
It's not just about harvesting life, but also about gathering more seeds.
This is also the pattern that Li Yang and Little Ox discovered in their research on the Divine Miracle.
If they harvest the Star Plant after only one day, they can only collect one seed. However, if they harvest them after two days, there is a chance they can collect two seeds.
Li Yang was worried that 1,000 Star Plant would not be enough, so she planned to harvest more seeds the next day and start breeding again.
In this way, at least 1,500 Star Plant can be grown on the third day!
She refused to believe that 1,500 Star Plant couldn't withstand this wave of beasts!
Chapter 96
Li Yang arrived at the outer city wall and looked out.
Having experience in fighting off the beast tide in the North District, Li Yang already had a plan in mind and knew how to deploy defenses in the East District.
The outer city wall of the Huaxia Main City was far less sturdy than the inner city wall.
However, the beast tides do occur in a predictable pattern.
There are many inaccessible areas beyond the Astral Realm.
Humans find it difficult to enter, and so do Astral Realm beings.
Therefore, each of the four major regions has a fixed defensive position.
There are three in the North District, and one in the East District.
Looking out from these three locations, one can even faintly see a path carved out by the beast tide.
Li Yang couldn't help but wonder whether there was a path beforehand or a beast tide came first.
She had never left the Huaxia Main City and didn't know how to enter the Astral Realm.
It's not like we're going straight out of the city.
Once those dark areas are entered, even Grandmaster may not return.
Once the location for defense was determined, setting up the defenses became much easier.
Simply allocate Star Plant according to the width of the three roads.
The right side is the narrowest and has the fewest Star Plant, while the middle and left sides have relatively more, averaging more than 600 plants each.
It would be difficult for Li Yang to harvest them all; she only planned to harvest the 1,200 plants in the middle and on the left.
The main task of Star Plant this time is to stop the beast tide; harvesting lifespans is just a side effect.
Li Yang wouldn't let a small matter cause her to lose sight of the bigger picture.
After the area was planned, everyone started planting, and the first step was naturally to learn how to plant.
At this moment, Niu Er became the focus of everyone's attention.
He has extensive experience in cultivating Star Plant.
During the two weeks of the Divine Miracle, he planted Star Plant every day, eventually achieving the maximum efficiency of planting 1,000 plants a day.
However, the Little Ox certainly don't have that kind of efficiency right now.
Because the planting area is fixed, the area is much larger, and a lot of time is wasted just traveling there.
Fortunately, Little Ox now has many helpers, so even if each person can only plant an average of 100 plants, it will be enough.
However, to Li Yang's surprise, not all Plow Ox Clan were skilled in planting; they had their own areas of expertise.
Most Plow Ox Clan are better at cultivating land, especially the parents, who are highly efficient and incredibly fast in this area.
On the contrary, most Plow Ox Clan don't do a very good job at sowing seeds; Little Ox are considered exceptionally gifted.
It's possible that during Divine Miracle, no one could have expected that the Little Ox, after taking on so much, would develop such an almost omnipotent skill.
The students in the Agronomy Department picked it up very quickly.
Little Ox only taught them for a short while, and Lin Zhaoqin, Fang Chuyun, Ying Qi, Wang Ruika had already mastered it.
If you look closely, Lin Zhaoqin and Ying Qi have the highest talent, followed by Wang Ruika and Zhong Kun, and then Fang Chuyun.
But Fang Chuyun was serious about her work and had high standards for herself, so she managed to keep up with them.
Zhong Kun, on the other hand, habitually slacks off, and has ended up in the same tier Yu Hongyuan.
Although the three old farmers learned a little slower, their mature and steady nature made them perform better than Zhong Kun and Yu Hongyuan.
Among the Plow Ox Clan, Niu Er's Niu Da, is the most efficient.
Li Yang is still observing other Plow Ox Clan. Everyone is working very hard, but whether they are reliable or not still needs time to verify.
Li Yang is willing to trust others first, but she only gives them one chance.
If someone is not trustworthy, filter them out immediately.
The first day passed quickly and busily with everyone.
After dark, Li Yang and the others prepared a courtyard in the outer city and invited everyone to rest together.
The outer city of the eastern district is now very desolate.
Most people have run away, taking everything they could with them, leaving only these empty houses behind.
The advantage is that Li Yang and the others had already trained in the Agronomy Department, so they had extremely strong independent survival skills and were also very good at cooking.
They brought a lot of mutated wheat and mutated chives, and in no time they had prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Li Yang invited the Plow Ox Clan to eat together, which moved them to tears.
Mutant steamed buns made from mutated wheat have a good market even in the Huaxia Main City.
Where have the Plow Ox Clan ever tasted such a delicacy?
The two little rascals, Niu San and Niu Si, cheered loudly, "Delicious! Delicious! Even more delicious than the tenderest grass shoots!"
Li Yang initially thought that the Plow Ox Clan only liked to eat grass, but he didn't expect that they were so poor that they could only eat grass.
Mutant wheat and mutated leeks are both suitable foods for Star Wielders.
The Plow Ox Clan are also Star Wielders.
After they consume it, they will naturally feel the Starlight filling their Star Aperture.
This is even more comforting and pleasant than having food fill your stomach.
Even the reserved, unfamiliar Plow Ox Clan relaxed considerably because of this dinner.
They had a natural reverence for the humans in the inner city.
Some of the older Plow Ox Clan, in particular, dared not look them in the eye after learning that Li Yang and his group were Star Wielders of the Nature Department.
After a long day of work, and with such a delicious dinner, the barriers between them lessened, and a few even dared to speak up.
The names of the Plow Ox Clan are very simple.
Like the Little Ox family, the parents are named after the cow's skin color, and the children are numbered from eldest to fourth.
The same applies to other Plow Ox Clan.
There was a young bull, who, because of his light weight and the fact that he was born by the river, was simply named Jiang Qingqing (meaning "Light-hearted River").
Upon hearing the name, Jiang Yuqing exclaimed with delight, "We share the same name!"
Ying Qi wasn't familiar with Jiang Yuqing, so he asked, "Aren't you called Jiang Yuqing?"
Jiang Yuqing smiled mysteriously at her and said, "You can call me Jiang Qingqing, or just call me Qingqing."
Ying Qi calmly replied, "Oh, Qingqing."
Everyone: "..."
Well, thankfully Shen Shangchi wasn't there, otherwise Ying Qi's single word "Qingqing" would have broken Shen Shangchi's guard.
This unexpected coincidence of names brought everyone closer together, and they discovered that Jiang Yuqing wasn't as cold and aloof as she seemed.
The Plow Ox Clan were getting more and more relaxed, and a group of cattle and people from the Nature Department were chatting enthusiastically in a dilapidated cottage in the outer city of the eastern district.
However, due to time constraints and heavy workload, everyone quickly went back to taking care of Star Plant.
To ensure that Star Plant could produce two seeds, everyone was extremely diligent, keeping a close eye on the 1,000 Star Plant and tending to their condition.
Li Yang couldn't help but recall the farming games she had played in her past life.
That's really busy!
I need to water it, loosen the soil, and keep an eye on Starlight to prevent it from slacking off and not growing.
Everyone in the Department of the Agronomy Department knows what Li Yang is thinking.
It's more reliable to keep the ability to control the Star Plant in the hands of our own people.
Therefore, they all worked exceptionally hard.
Lin Zhaoqin, being the most capable, took care of 200 Star Plant, while the others each had several dozen.
Jiang Yuqing were the most leisurely.
As long as he has Shock Points, he can quickly refine Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill.
Moreover, there is no shortage of alchemy materials in the Huaxia Main City. Jiang Yuqing had already purchased a large quantity to ensure that there would be no shortage of supplies.
Knowing he had paid for the materials himself, Li Yang asked, "How much did it cost?"
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +300 points.]
Jiang Yuqing asked her, "Are you going to reimburse me?"
Li Yang cleared her throat and said, "How could that be? Talking about money hurts feelings."
Jiang Yuqing: "..."
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +300 points.]
Li Yang continued, "To avoid hurting feelings, let's talk about Shock Points."
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +500 points.]
Jiang Yuqing said quietly, "This is the first time I've seen someone so confidently deny a debt."
Li Yang retorted, "Didn't you gain Shock Points?"
"We've succeeded."
Li Yang glanced at him sideways and said, "So, who reneges on their debt?"
