With this hope, Shen Xingyan harvested the crops with even greater enthusiasm. Thanks to the increased proficiency of Wangcai and the other skeletons, the harvest on the four mu of land was quickly completed.
Such a vast area would have required an entire day of work for other farmers, but in Shen Xingyan's professional space, everything went quite easily.
After cutting the last ear of wheat, Shen Xingyan didn't immediately go to collect the mountain of wheat piled up by the skeletons. With a hint of excitement, he remained where he was, waiting for a message from the Star Source.
Having experienced the previous harvest, Shen Xingyan knew the sequence of events well. He didn't have to calculate the results himself—the Star Source would do it for him.
A couple of seconds later, just as Shen Xingyan expected, a message sounded:
[Congratulations! From an area of 2400 square meters, you have harvested 8200 kg of wheat. You have gained 820 Farmer profession experience points.]
Hearing this, Shen Xingyan felt the tension leave him, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
"An 8200 kilogram harvest—that's 250 kilograms more from each mu compared to last time. The record is definitely broken! Just as I thought, even though the previous experiment failed, we still surpassed the previous result. This is great news!" Shen Xingyan thought, his smile growing wider until it turned into laughter.
Now all that was left was to wait for what kind of reward the Star Source would offer!
The Star Source, as if sensing Shen Xingyan's impatience, didn't make him wait long. A message sounded right in his ear:
[Congratulations! You have once again surpassed the wheat yield record you created of 1800 kg from one mu, reaching a result of 2050 kg! As a special reward, you receive a Cultivation Privilege +1: cultivated crop level +1, arable land area +600 sq. m. The Star Source will make a global announcement. Do you want to reveal your personal information?]
Shen Xingyan was stunned to see Cultivation Privilege as a reward. He didn't even know such a thing existed!
As far as he knew, the cultivation level system in the Star Source was very rigid. From level 1 to 9, you could only cultivate level one crops; from 10 to 19, you could cultivate level one and two, and so on. The higher the crop's level, the more experience and profit it brought upon harvest.
At his current level, no matter how strong his skill was, if he wanted to cultivate high-level crops, he would have to patiently wait to reach the corresponding level. There were no items that could bypass this rule.
But now the Star Source was offering a Cultivation Privilege +1, which actively broke that rule! It allowed him to cultivate higher-level crops even while at a low level. In the last hundred years, Shen Xingyan had never heard of anything like it!
Realizing this, his thoughts began to race: with this privilege, the speed of his professional level-up and his earnings would increase significantly. And as his profession level rose, the effect of this privilege would only get stronger. Just imagine, when he reached level 90, he would be able to cultivate legendary spiritual seeds—it was hard to even imagine how insane the result would be.
In the entire enormous base, only two elders had the ability to cultivate spiritual seeds of the initial level. And, according to rumors, it took many times more experience to reach level 50. If those two elders hadn't found special experience-boosting seeds outside the base, the concept of spiritual seeds might still be unknown at the base!
The more Shen Xingyan thought about it, the more excited he became. This future, full of hope, made his eyes glow with such a hot light that he could melt the little skeletons!
Coming to his senses after a long daze, he calmed down. Although the future looked bright, he needed to focus on the present. Now he could cultivate level two crops.
[Do you want to reveal your personal information?]
The message from the Star Source sounded again in his ear, prompting him to make a decision quickly.
Returning to reality, Shen Xingyan, of course, chose "No." If others found out that he was the one who had received this privilege, especially those who had reached certain heights but had long been unable to level up, trouble could come knocking on his door!
This was no exaggeration—the temptation was too great. Who could resist the opportunity to simultaneously increase both experience and money?
After Shen Xingyan's choice, an announcement once again rang out across the entire Star Source space, after several days of silence:
[Professional "X" has surpassed the current wheat yield record of 1800 kg per mu, reaching a result of 2050 kg. As a special reward, they receive a Cultivation Privilege +1: cultivated crop level +1, arable land area +600 sq. m. Global announcement!]
The announcement sounded three times, spreading throughout the entire Star Source world.
The appearance of this announcement caused all professionals, who were busy with various tasks in the Star Source world, to freeze in place. The world seemed to pause for a moment, and then it erupted in a flurry of heated discussion!
"What's going on? Why is there another wheat record announcement? Is this ever going to end? It's only been a few days! And the reward this time is impressive! I'm even jealous!"
Not only farmers but also professionals from other fields, who had only a basic knowledge of agriculture, understood the special nature of this reward.
"Damn it, what shameless old geezer is shearing the Star Source for profit again? That reward is too tempting. I'm going to go work on my level one seeds too! I've never heard that the Star Source has a reward like a Cultivation Privilege. I need to clear my land for wheat right now!"
High-level farmers couldn't help but complain, but their voices were filled with clear envy.
"That's impossible! The wheat yield is breaking records again and again. Who is behind this? Maybe they found a loophole in the Star Source system? Otherwise, it's impossible to get such a high yield. This must be cheating! If only I knew who this person was!"
Some people stared intently at the mention of "X" in the announcement, and something ominous was visible in their eyes, which made others uneasy.
