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

[Based on your existing abilities, you gain the skill 'Flower Tree World Arrival']

In an instant, Lu Yuan felt an endless warm current appearing out of thin air, enveloping every inch of his skin, muscles, bones, and cells.

To outsiders, Lu Yuan did not change at all at this moment. He was still standing there, staring silently ahead.

But Lu Yuan himself was constantly paying attention to the changes in his body, and the transformation of his body made him feel comfortable.

Similarly, with the acquisition of the skill "Flower Tree World Arrival", a memory integrated into Lu Yuan himself appeared out of thin air, which deepened Lu Yuan's understanding of the Originium skill of "Controlling Wood".

As smooth as if he had completely mastered it, Lu Yuan's skill in controlling wood and source stone also improved greatly.

[Mastery] → [Great Mastery]

[Your 'Wood Control' has unlocked the ability: Wood Transformation]

[Wood Transformation: You can transform part of your body into a tree, and use this as a basis to derive other attack methods.]

[Effect: The body becomes petrified, wound recovery efficiency is improved, and the natural mode compatibility is greatly improved]

"New abilities."

After seeing the prompts in front of him and the changes in his body, Lu Yuan felt delighted and couldn't hide the smile on his face. If there weren't so many people here, he really wanted to give it a try.

After all the prompt boxes disappeared, Lu Yuan stood here, looking at the rice being harvested in front of him.

In fact, compared to gaining abilities, Lu Yuan was happier about harvesting rice.

After all, Lu Yuan himself has extremely high talent. Even without the assistance of the system, he can eventually cultivate to a very high level. It’s just that the assistance of the system saves a lot of time in the process, just like "seed cultivation".

After a full day of work.

With the joint operation of multiple harvesters and the coordinated work of other employees, a total of 10,000 acres of rice were completely harvested.

Subsequently.

Under the witness of everyone, the exciting weighing session began.

As bag after bag of rice ears were placed on the large scale, numbers were reported one after another.

When Ansuo took the total weight report from the statistician, which had been calculated and confirmed many times, the little girl's hands holding the report paper could not help but tremble with excitement.

An Suo couldn't hide the smile on his face, and his amber eyes were full of excitement.

"The total harvest of 10,000 mu of rice this time is..."

Anso's sweet voice spread through the Originium amplifying drone and reached the ears of everyone present.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Shi Huaiya, Chen Sir, Xing Xiong and others were also staring at Ansuo at this moment, waiting for the final number that Ansuo was about to say.

"Over 7700 million kilograms, or tons."

This number seems to have enormous power.

The moment Ansuo said this number, the vast field fell into a brief silence. However, after the silence, there was an even louder cheer and excitement.

All the staff working in the field jumped up excitedly, raised their hands, and cheered at the top of their lungs.

They have been working hard every day for the past few months, just to wait for this opportunity.

The slum workers from the other 40,000 acres of land were also there. They had only been working for two months and could not yet feel the joy of their own harvest, but they were still clapping their hands vigorously and cheering for others.

I also imagined what it would be like if the fields where I worked had a good harvest.

"That's amazing, Xiao Yuan! The rice you cultivated is so much taller than the usual rice!"

Shi Huaiya jumped up excitedly and almost hugged Lu Yuan.

Shi Huaiya was not a farmer and didn't know this before, but after his relationship with Lu Yuan gradually improved, he began to take the initiative to learn about the knowledge and common sense of farming.

Of course she knew it.

The average yield of the most common rice in Dayan is about 300-500 kilograms per mu. This range is caused by a series of small factors such as soil fertility, weather, and air humidity.

Anyway.

Normally, an acre of rice with a yield of more than 400 kilograms is considered a high yield and a bumper harvest season.

But on average, Lu Yuan found that one acre of land produced 770 kilograms, which was more than 50 percent higher than the maximum yield of conventional rice.

It was also the first time that Lin Yuxia learned that Lu Yuan’s rice yield was so high. She had previously only known that Lu Yuan might have the ability to promote rapid growth of crops.

Later, as their cooperation deepened and their relationship intensified, and they became frank with each other, Lu Yuan naturally did not hide it and openly admitted that he did have the ability to accelerate crop growth, but the scope was limited.

Even if you squeeze yourself dry, being able to catalyze thousands of acres is already the limit.

He did not use the catalytic ability of these ten thousand acres at all, and only used it on the six hundred acres next to his residence.

"He is truly a leader among agricultural masters, a true genius."

Lin Yuxia couldn't help but shake her head and praise in her heart.

The fact that he could cultivate this kind of rice shows how talented Lu Yuan is.

And not far away.

The car that Wei Yanwu and the Rat King were riding in was gradually moving away. Before leaving, they heard An Suo reading out the harvest through the car window.

Sitting in the car, with his legs crossed and his chin supported by one hand, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he looked outside.

"Amazing! Such a treasure, Da Yan actually let him come to Longmen."

"7700 tons. Assuming each person needs 7700 kilograms of rice per year, these tons can feed more than people a year. Moreover, Lu Yuan's crops will be fully ripe in the next three months, and he might be able to harvest three crops a year. So one acre of land can feed at least people. If we save a little, it can even feed hundreds of thousands."

"If Lu Yuan's rice seeds can be promoted, how many more people will be fed? Such a great achievement is enough to be worshipped by Dayan even if he does not have a strong talent for Originium skills."

Even Wei Yanwu couldn't help but praise Lu Yuan from the bottom of his heart. Such an achievement was enormous, and Lu Yuan knew it even without Wei Yanwu saying it.

The Rat King sat in the car, listening to Wei Yanwu's words, and couldn't help but fall into deep fantasy.

Big men like him haven't fantasized about the future or a better life for a long time, because they know that it is unrealistic. If it can be achieved, it would have been achieved long ago. So there is no need to fantasize.

Rather than fantasizing, they would rather face the facts down to earth.

however.

This time, when he saw the golden sea of rice all over the ground and listened to Wei Yanwu's words, even the Rat King couldn't help but imagine that this golden sea of rice was spread all over the slums and Longmen.

Everyone in the slums can eat hot rice, with vegetables and meat for every meal, and live a happy life without worrying about extortion by underworld forces. It is ordinary yet safe.

This is the Rat King’s dream and also his lifelong pursuit.

.........

"Everyone, don't leave yet. Let's have dinner together later."

It was getting late, and the 10,000 acres of rice had almost been harvested under the roar of machinery. The next step was drying and processing.

Lu Yuan shouted and took the initiative to invite Shi Huaiya and others.

Sir Chen, Xingxiong and others naturally did not refuse Lu Yuan's invitation.

Originally, Lu Yuan had invited the Angels and the others on his phone. However, after asking, the girls found out that Sir Chen was there too.

They were like mice seeing a cat and didn't dare to come at all.

Lu Yuan could only plan to treat the girls to a good meal next time.

After the group arrived at the edge of the main city in a land vehicle, they followed the same old routine: they lit a fire and cooked, then went to a restaurant to buy a large table of ready-made dishes, poured them onto plates, arranged them casually, and started eating.

Similarly, while no one was paying attention, Lu Yuan quietly packed a dish in a lunch box and put a large bowl of white rice in another lunch box and placed them in the outer corner of the container house.

This made Hei Sano, who was hiding in the dark, give him a look inadvertently.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan sat at the dining table with everyone and started eating and chatting.

Having witnessed the entire rice harvesting process during the day, everyone enjoyed their meal tonight.

"Xiao Yuan, I can't even imagine how shocking it will be when the results of your research on this type of rice are announced. I'm afraid you'll be the one to win the Columbia Science Award tomorrow."

Shi Huaiya said happily while eating.

Lu Yuan laughed and shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether there is a prize or not, it's just icing on the cake. Compared to these, I prefer to help in times of need."

"Tsk tsk, too modest."

"But anyway! We at Longmen would like to use the new variety of rice you developed, is that okay?"

Shi Huaiya tilted her head and smiled sweetly.

"Of course, you can use it as you like."

Lu Yuan smiled.

"Besides, it's much more reassuring to have Longmen's official planting be done than to have that group of capitalists planting it."

“Also, research never ends.”

"Perhaps, in the future, there will be even more high-quality rice varieties, and the yield per mu will increase by 50% compared to traditional ordinary rice. Perhaps in the future, it will be 60%, 70%, or even 100%, or even..."

"Rice that can grow normally in land contaminated by Originium."

Lu Yuan has high expectations for the future, but the current rice category seems a little unrealistic.

However, when Lu Yuan said that the output would be higher, even 100%, Shi Huaiya and Lin Yuxia looked at Lu Yuan without any disbelief or expression of listening in a joking manner.

Some are just...

look forward to.

They believed that maybe Lu Yuan could really accomplish this unprecedented creation.

"Planting on the ground contaminated by Originium..."

Lin Yuxia murmured.

"Perhaps, then there will be no more hunger in the world, and the land of Terra can completely feed everyone."

"If that's the case."

When Shi Huaiya heard this, he imagined that scene.

"Xiao Yuan, your bronze statue will no longer stand in Longmen or Dayan, but in every country, in the center of Terra. Your achievements will be praised for hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand years to come."

"Who knows! My fate will even benefit a little from you, Xiao Yuan, and it will be recorded in history books. It says that during his time in Longmen, the respected Mr. Lu Yuan received guidance from the then-senior police officer, Commander Shi Huaiya, who would later become the director of the Longmen Guard Bureau. The two were also extremely close friends!"

After Shi Huaiya imagined the future.

Lin Yuxia and Chen Sir couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Even Lin Yuxia couldn't help but say, "The one who distorts history is Shi Huaiya."

"Heh... the position of director is not yours..."

Sir Chen turned his head and said.

"What are you talking about?! I will lose to you?!"

The next second.

Shi Huaiya started to argue with Chen Sir again, Lin Yuxia ate silently beside her, and Xingxiong continued to drink and watch the show with Huang.

Yaye and Ansuo chatted while eating. Everyone was used to it and even regarded the bickering between Chen Sir and Shi Huaiya as a spice of daily life.

"The future..."

Lu Yuan leaned back, one hand on the back of the chair, the other holding the chopsticks, looking at the warm scene in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Maybe, I really can..."

The next day

Early in the morning, Lu Yuan's life became busy.

It seems that as the proficiency of the Originium skill of 'Controlling Wood' increases, or as the ability of 'Woodification' is acquired.

Lu Yuan just felt like a wooden man. It would be very comfortable to bask in the sun early in the morning.

Simple exercises to keep fit.

Lu Yuan did not follow the popular modern exercise methods in Colombia such as running, burpees, push-ups, etc. Instead, he continued to use the health-preserving exercises in Dayan, doing several sets every morning facing the sun.

Although it won't make you stronger or bald, it can ensure you're full of energy throughout the day.

After breakfast, Lu Yuan set off and patrolled his neighborhood as usual.

Early this morning, nearly all the people from the four neighborhoods gathered on the now clean and tidy streets.
