Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

how to say...

Very futuristic and technological.

Everything has been arranged for everyone since they were born. They have lost their physical and mental freedom, just like NPCs.

But such a society also has one advantage.

Maximize utilization of resources.

After Skadi's description.

Lu Yuan was actually a little excited and wanted to visit this country called Agor.

It has a bit of the flavor of science fiction from the previous life.

and...

Although Skadi did not give a detailed description of its technological level, the fact that it could build a city deep in the sea meant that this level of technology alone could easily crush the land and surpass the technological level of the previous life.

"I don't know how advanced agriculture is in Agor. If it's more advanced, I can learn from it!"

"I wonder if Agor has invented the technology to grow crops in the sea."

The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more he wanted to go to Agor to take a look.

Because it is not far from Fort Saint Jun.

After driving for only half an hour, Lu Yuan arrived at Shengjun Castle again.

Along the way, Lu Yuan and Skadi talked about a lot of things.

In addition to some information that Lu Yuan did not know, there were also many things about Skadi herself.

After chatting about Skadi, Lu Yuan talked a lot about himself.

Among them, Skadi also took the initiative to ask Lu Yuan questions about his own magic.

When Skadi asked why Lu Yuan's magic was so outrageous and surpassed almost all the magicians she had seen during her travels on Terra.

Lu Yuan just gave a very casual answer.

"Maybe it's because I'm a little more talented than them."

While speaking, Lu Yuan raised his hand, pinched his index finger and thumb together and then slightly separated them.

It's obviously very small.

But it seems to contain the inner secrets.

"So, Miss Skadi, have you ever thought about finding a way to get back to Agor?"

Lu Yuan suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this question, Skadi's expression suddenly darkened.

"I tried to contact Agor when I first woke up, but the communication equipment was unavailable. I've been on land for so long, and I don't really want to go back anymore."

"I don't have any family in Agor. My family was killed by the sudden appearance of the Sea Si when I was young. That's why I joined the Deep Sea Hunters who wanted to kill the Sea Si."

"I don't have any feelings or sense of belonging to Agor itself."

"Now, only one of my companions is left. For me now, it doesn't matter whether I return to Agor or not."

When saying this, Skadi was particularly melancholy.

"Feel sorry..."

"At the end of the day, home is where your family is."

Lu Yuan said as he drove and looked into the distance.

"I grew up without a father or mother. Although I live in Dayan, I don't have much affection for Dayan. If I hadn't joined the Tianshi Mansion and met my teacher, I probably wouldn't have any feelings for Dayan."

"It's okay~"

Speaking of which.

Lu Yuan turned his head.

"Now that the cultist who was lurking around you and causing trouble has been dealt with, Skadi, you don't need to suppress your emotions like before and worry about your friends dying because of you."

“You can let your emotions flow freely.”

"The world is so big, there is always a place for you."

When Skadi heard this, her mouth opened slightly, her expression obviously stunned, and she nodded vigorously.

"Will do."

"However, before that, I still need to earn some money for Laurentina's treatment."

"So, I will temporarily work for you in the next few days, Boss Lu."

Skadi gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up, as if she was back in her old days as a bounty hunter.

Seeing Skadi's serious yet extraordinarily cute expression, Lu Yuan laughed and gave her a thumbs up.

soon.

The two arrived at the Garin District of Saint Jun Castle.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the Civilian Grain Association, An Suo happened to be holding documents, followed by a large group of senior executives of the Civilian Grain Association in formal attire.

As soon as Lu Yuan came in.

An Suo immediately smiled, but soon regained his composure and said respectfully, "Mr. Lu~"

The large number of senior officials from the Ursus branch of the Civilian Food Association behind him immediately became respectful.

"Yeah, Anso-chan."

"It just so happens that you can arrange personnel matters and immediately arrange for Miss Skadi from Rhodes Island to join the company. As for the position... she'll be assigned to the Public Security Bureau's field team as team leader, alongside Logos and Huang."

When Lu Yuan just walked in, An Suo naturally saw Skadi following behind Lu Yuan.

The rare silver-white long hair that looked like a waterfall, the almost perfect slender figure, and the rare scarlet pupils.

Even if they are both girls.

Anso couldn't help but think that Skadi was really beautiful.

She was a little wary at first.

After all, she remembered that Lu Yuan had gone to New Pilm for an inspection.

How come there is a girl next to me when I come back from patrol?

I heard it was from Rhode Island.

An Suo's vigilance disappeared in an instant.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll ask HR to make the arrangements right away."

Lu Yuan nodded: "It's troublesome, you guys go and do your work."

After saying that, he went into the headquarters of the Civilian Food Association with Skadi and introduced her.

Not a moment later.

The human resources manager arrived first and respectfully took Skadi to register. He was very efficient and completed the registration in just five minutes. He also made a new work badge.

"This is your ID card, Ms. Skadi. You are now the captain of our Civilian Food Association's elite field team."

Lu Yuan handed Skadi her work badge.

"This is your salary card. Your salary for the previous month will be deposited into the card on the first of every month. If the first of the month is a holiday, it will be deposited to the end of the month."

"The annual salary is a base salary of 500 million Longmen coins plus commissions and year-end bonuses. That's around to million Longmen coins a year."

Lu Yuan continued to explain in a rambling manner.

Skadi was quite moved by what she said.

"How's the salary? If you're not satisfied, you have the opportunity to apply for a raise every quarter."

"Of course I'm satisfied!"

Her salary in Rhode Island can't be said to be low, it can only be said to be a slave's.

In fact, when it comes to the salaries of Lu Yuan’s employees, not only the core employees are paid higher, but the salaries of ordinary employees are also higher than those of companies of the same level.

At present, the Ursus branch has not yet started to make a profit and relies solely on Longmen for profits.

Coupled with the irresponsible investment made by the Shi Huaiya family years later, the Minliang Association became even richer.

Even if we don't make money now, the Minliang Association can operate normally for a long time just relying on the remaining cash on hand.

So Lu Yuan was not worried about money at all.

As long as Ursus completes the development, it will be quite easy to make a profit in the future.

After all of this is done.

Since Skadi had just arrived, Lu Yuan took Skadi out for a walk. In the evening, after Ansuo got off work, he introduced Skadi to Ansuo.

As for Skadi's specific origins, Lu Yuan didn't say much.

The next day.

Originally, Lu Yuan wanted Skathi to take a break for a while, but Skathi just couldn't rest. On the second day after joining the company, Skathi set off.

He transformed himself into a spy for the Civilian Food Association and walked across the land of Ursus.

As soon as Skadi left.

Lu Yuan's life became peaceful again. Although the world seemed to be at peace, Lu Yuan knew that there must be undercurrents surging inside.

His daily work now involves either trying to cultivate new crops or studying, which also enriches the 24 hours of a day.

.........

"Well... the requirements for details are quite high."

In a newly built indoor cultivation field not far from the Minliang Association.

Lu Yuan stood at the edge of the field, holding a tablet in his hand. He observed the rice in the field and quickly wrote down the details on the tablet while raising his eyebrows.

This indoor cultivation field is not too big, totaling about five acres.

At this time, the soil in these experimental fields was completely dark red, which was completely different from ordinary soil, and the concentration of source stone in the entire experimental field also exceeded the standard by a lot.

Ordinary people would feel unwell after staying here for a short time, and those who worked here for a long time would most likely be infected with mineral sickness.

Lu Yuan's body is that of a native of Terra. Since he is a native, Lu Yuan would theoretically be infected with oripathy.

of course.

This is just a theory.

Under the effect of the [Fairy Wood Body], the mineral disease no longer had any lethality to Lu Yuan.

The greatest harm of oripathy to ordinary people is that the so-called lesions of oripathy are only one of the core manifestations. Unless it is detected at a very early stage, even if the lesions are dug out or cut off, there is no effect.

Ore sickness itself is a symptom caused by the disorder of the Originium environment in the Terran people's bodies. Terran people have Originium in their bodies, so they will get Ore sickness. If there is no Originium at all, even if they are penetrated by Originium fragments, they will not get sick, and at most they will get tetanus.

Although there is source stone dust in Lu Yuan's body, under the [Immortal Wood Body], once these source stones undergo the slightest mutation, it will be stopped instantly and everything will be solved from the root.

Therefore, Lu Yuan can only get it in theory, but it is difficult for Lu Yuan to get it in reality unless all his current power disappears completely.

In an environment with extremely high concentration of Originium, Lu Yuan carefully fiddled with the rice growing on the Originium-contaminated soil and recorded everything.

These are the second generation of Originium mutant rice. Compared with the first generation, they have undergone many changes, but have not yet reached the level where ordinary people can grow them on a large scale.

But Lu Yuan thought of another possibility.

If ordinary people can't grow crops, what about collective, standardized farming? A single practitioner, managing thousands, even tens of thousands, of acres of land, relying entirely on mechanized farming, cultivating crops with extreme precision and scientific methods?

This idea actually came to Lu Yuan after he returned to Dahuang City and visited the automated planting in Dahuang City under the guidance of He Sheng.

Crops don't necessarily have to be grown by people.

If this type of crop cannot be promoted on a large scale for the time being, then why not manage and plant it in a unified manner and follow strict standards like in Dahuang City?

Therefore, after thinking of this possibility, the first thing Lu Yuan did when he returned to Ursus was to have someone set up this huge indoor field. Only Lu Yuan could enter, and ordinary employees, even senior executives, including An Suo, were not allowed to enter.

This was the strict order Lu Yuan gave after the construction of this indoor farm was completed.

The time is not yet ripe, and Lu Yuan is not planning to make his Originium Rice public. He is conducting secret experiments on it by himself and summarizing standard rules for planting it.
