Chapter 218 - Winter Agricultural Meet, Wilderness Activity Lesson
Chapter 218 Winter Agricultural Meet, Wilderness Activity Lesson
Today was the weekend break.
The little caterpillar woke up early in the morning to look at the crops in the farm. After yesterday night, they had grown quite a bit and were almost mature.
It was becoming more and more familiar with the use of the Force of Nature.
In the dream realm, it also focused on cultivating the Force of Nature.
This was because the little caterpillar discovered that the higher its proficiency, the better the effect of the Force of Nature on these crops.
It first took a simple look at the crops and did not discover any problems.
The little caterpillar began to water it daily.
At this moment…
A beautiful figure walked over from afar.
Shen Mingluan looked at the surrounding wooden houses as he walked towards Wang Che’s wooden house.
She had something to do today.
“They should be up by now, right?”
Shen Mingluan looked at the small wooden houses around and discovered that most of the new students had already gotten up and started.
Some were reading or training with soul pets.
Shen Mingluan walked all the way to the wooden house Wang Che was in.
The first thing she saw was not Wang Che.
She saw a diligent green caterpillar spitting silk and controlling the wooden spoon to water various crops that were already half mature. Shen Mingluan: “???”
Were soul pets so hardworking now?
Shen Mingluan was slightly surprised.
Moreover, although farming looked leisurely, it actually tested one’s discipline and patience. It required a long time to take care of.
When it was in its first year, the Glazed Green Luan was completely uninterested in farming. Later on, she slowly nurtured its interest.
It could also provide some help to the crops usually and would take the initiative to help take care of the crops when she urged it.
Getting a soul pet to help plant it was equivalent to training a hobby. It was not easy.
Especially later on, Little Luan would be lazy…
“Ss… Ss… Ss…”
As she approached, she could hear the green caterpillar humming as it watered the plants. ‘This green caterpillar is very intelligent and a little cute.’
Shen Mingluan found it quite interesting and watched for a while.
She discovered that the green caterpillar was very serious and did not get distracted.
In a small farm, there were about 20 different crops planted, but they were very compatible. There were no growth disturbances.
After watering the plants, the little caterpillar began to carefully size up each plant.
The more Shen Mingluan watched, the more interesting it was.
“In a few days, these ordinary crops are about to mature. Did he use his martial soul to accelerate their growth?”
Shen Mingluan was curious.
Using the martial soul to accelerate the maturity was a normal method for modern agriculture.
Typically, many grass-type soul pets would give suitable martial souls a soul ring to develop soul skills.
The higher the compatibility with the martial soul, the better the soul skill’s effect.
Of course, it was still rather difficult to mature on a large scale.
Shen Mingluan was about to walk in.
A faint green light began to appear on the little caterpillar’s body.
Then, a light green light appeared in front of the little caterpillar and continuously flew into the crops.
“Eh, what soul skill is this… Does the green caterpillar have a soul skill that can accelerate
growth?”
Shen Mingluan was a little puzzled, “It should be a soul skill powered by grass life force… Why haven’t I seen it before…”
She could not tell what soul skill the little caterpillar was using. The Force of Nature was not like other soul skills that were fixed.
According to different bug soul pets, the effects and release process would vary.
After half an hour, the crops in the small farmland had changed quite a bit.
The leaves and fruits had grown, and the color was even brighter.
The little caterpillar did not feel tired. Its eyes were filled with anticipation.
(*w*)
Shen Mingluan walked over and smiled at the green caterpillar.
“You’re up so early?”
The green caterpillar felt that the person looked familiar and immediately remembered.
Wasn’t it the Contract Soul Master of the Glazed Green Luan?
It thought for a few seconds with its little head and nodded.
“Did you plant and cultivate these yourself?” Shen Mingluan took two steps closer to observe.
The green caterpillar blocked in front of Shen Mingluan.
“This is my territory, you can’t go near it!’
‘What if it’s trampled?’
“Ssss!”
The green caterpillar cried out to express its intention.
It indicated that it was cultivated by itself.
Shen Mingluan laughed and found it more and more interesting.
“Can I take a look?”
As she spoke, Shen Mingluan seemed to have thought of something and took out a leaf from her pocket.
She opened the bag and took out crystalline leaves that were like beautiful jade.
Fragrance filled the air.
It was obviously very valuable.
Shen Mingluan placed the leaf in her palm and fed it to the little caterpillar.
The little caterpillar hesitated and glanced inside.
Wang Che was still cultivating. “It’s okay, I’ll tell Student Wang later.” Shen Mingluan was greatly surprised. Not only was this green caterpillar intelligent, but its self-restraint was also very high.
The training was extraordinarily good. The little caterpillar quickly pecked Shen Mingluan’s palm.
This small action made Shen Mingluan laugh.
She thought the little caterpillar would eat the leaf, but it did not. The leaf was still in its palm.
Shen Mingluan was surprised.
The little caterpillar revealed a look of enjoyment.
“So it’s smelling it…”
Shen Mingluan was very surprised. She did not expect the little caterpillar to actually restrain itself and not eat the food given by others. The little caterpillar glanced at Shen Mingluan and shouted, “Ssss!”
‘You can look, but don’t mess it up!’
Shen Mingluan had learned soul beast language before. Even if she had never learned it, she could tell from the little caterpillar’s serious gaze what it meant.
Shen Mingluan made an OK gesture with her hand. The little caterpillar nodded and moved aside.
Shen Mingluan walked over and observed these crops.
They were all ordinary crops, but their life force was very rich.
According to her estimation, the output would be about 30% higher, and the nutritional effects after maturity would be greater.
The training was extraordinarily good.
‘Not only is it growing quickly… but the quality of the mature product is also so good… This green caterpillar’s soul skill that catalyzed growth is really quite powerful.’ Shen Mingluan pondered and said, “Could it be that Wang Che taught the green caterpillar to raise the white birch tree itself?” Of course, to grow so well, it must have been very disciplined and hardworking.
“To be able to make a green caterpillar do this… he’s indeed a genius in training soul pets… no wonder the North River University came to Principal Gu to ask for his transfer two days ago.” Shen Mingluan thought.
After observing, she took a few steps back and smiled.
“Where’s Student Wang?”
The green caterpillar immediately coiled up and closed its eyes solemnly.
Shen Mingluan understood and cultivated.
She was not in a hurry. While waiting for more than ten minutes, she chatted with the green caterpillar.
She discovered that this little guy was not only cute, but also quite interesting.
After a while, Wang Che walked out of the wooden house.
“Senior Shen, why are you looking for me?”
Wang Che was just finishing cultivating when he naturally sensed the situation outside. “Yes.”
Shen Mingluan nodded, “Originally, your Counselor Qin would be the one to tell you about this. However, it’s the weekend these two days. Qin Li went to work part-time in an air carrier service and left for a long distance. He won’t be back until two days later. Principal Gu asked me to tell you.”
Working as a part-time air carrier? Air carrier was transportation by air, air delivery, or long-distance transport.
Wang Che thought about it. This Counselor Qin really had a lot of part-time jobs.
“What’s the matter?” Wang Che asked. “Because you’re special.” Shen Mingluan coughed and said, “Our school has decided to give you some resources. Because the school’s resources can be exchanged for points, the school will give you some points every month for your own use.”
“Of course, our school doesn’t lack resources for agriculture. No matter how rare they are, we have them.”
“However, if it’s other cultivation resources, such as hard resources like martial soul essence crystals, our school doesn’t have many. The various cultivation environments are definitely inferior to those top universities.”
“If you have any other requests, you can ask the school. Principal Gu said that he will try his best to satisfy you.”
When Wang Che heard this, he knew that most likely, after the school opening ceremony, the universities in the North River Continent had already discovered it.
Principal Gu was afraid that he would be snatched away by other schools.
“There are no requirements. You can give me a certain number of points every month. This is enough.” Wang Che smiled and said, “Two more small farms will do. There’s no need for anything else.”
Martial soul essence crystals were indeed good things. For students with low martial soul aptitude, these were like raindrops falling from the sky. It could even increase their soul power level by purely eating martial soul essence crystals.
However, in reality, martial soul essence crystals were rather rare, and the quality was hard to say.
After Wang Che’s second spiritual field materialized, he could plant some crops that contained a large amount of soul power himself and accelerate the ripening.
After maturing, he could refine some high-quality medicinal pills himself that could have a better effect than the martial soul essence crystal! The cultivation environment was indeed very important. Top universities all had special cultivation grounds that could increase the cultivation speed of students and soul pets.
Forest University also had one, and it was definitely not comparable to top universities.
Wang Che was not in a hurry. Special cultivation venues were usually places built by the Soul Guiding Diagram to gather soul power.
Wang Che could make it himself, unless it was a blessed land or grotto-heaven. Those were rare. There were very few top universities with such paradises. However, Wang Che was quite satisfied with his cultivation speed. There was no need to cultivate too quickly.
With the martial soul’s aptitude, this speed was enough. It was enough as long as the foundation was firm.
“That’s right, in three months, it will be the Winter Farming Festival in the war zone. There will be a Winter Agricultural Meet in the River Capital. There will be soul pet battles and exchanges, as well as outstanding agriculture displays and exchanges in various regions. There will be many agricultural soul masters and various soul masters who like to take risks. They will explore various regions and obtain various unknown crops to sell. Other than that, there will also be various special resources being exchanged.” Shen Mingluan introduced, “Typically, new students will go and watch the show. The various colleges in the North River Continent will send second and third-year students to participate. If you’re interested, you can join us.”
Wang Che knew about the Winter Farming Festival.
It was the traditional festival of the Eastern War Zone.
According to legend, in the Eastern Ancient Kingdom of the ancient era, every time this period came, the weather would be cold and the temperature would drop rapidly. A large number of soul beasts would attack the human cities.
In such an environment, the strength of most human soul masters would decrease.
On the other hand, soul beasts had powerful bodies and could withstand the cold. They were not affected in this environment.
Therefore, every year at this time, the soul beasts would definitely attack humans.
Many human lives would be lost during this period every year.
Later on, some soul masters who were good at growing developed many special soul plants and made many medicinal meals that were beneficial to soul masters.
After most of the soul masters ate these medicinal meals, they were not afraid of the cold and slowly resisted the soul beasts.
The casualties gradually decreased.
Later on, a tradition gradually formed. Every time this period came, humans would display and exchange the soul plants they had developed in a year. Then, they would refine various medicinal meals on the spot for everyone to taste. Every door would also eat some traditional food left behind by humans of that era.
As the era slowly developed, the content of the Winter Agricultural Meet gradually increased.
“Sure, I’ll go with you when the time comes.” Wang Che nodded. Hearing this answer, Shen Mingluan pursed her lips and smiled.
“Then I won’t disturb you. Oh right, you have an activity class in two days.” Shen Mingluan reminded, “The activity class is quite interesting. If you’re lucky, you can still gather some good things in the fields or the wilderness.”
With that, Shen Mingluan waved at the little caterpillar who was still observing the crops.
“Bye, little one.”
She even left the leaf for the caterpillar.
“Ssss!”
The green caterpillar shook its tail and also bowed to Shen Mingluan.
