Chapter 824: Plowing the Fields at Noon
Chapter 824: Plowing the Fields at Noon
Geralt passed the fourth level with the power of the grass juice, but the severe side effects also made his mind more and more dizzy.
The eyes that had turned into snake pupils were filled with a hint of bloodthirsty murderous light. In Geralt's eyes, the whole world became distorted, and it seemed that even the stones on the roadside could suddenly harm him.
But the power he gained was real. Geralt was now more than twice as powerful as when he first entered the Xuanqing Realm.
Now he has lost his direction. He has no idea what the road ahead is like. He can only keep moving forward instinctively.
There were always whispers in his ears, but every time he listened carefully, he could not hear anything.
He walked tirelessly, not knowing how long he had walked. He only felt that the scenery around him had changed seasons, but he did not encounter the next test until he came to a village.
The villagers were all like Geralt, and when they saw a stranger coming, their first reaction was not to be happy to have a friend from afar, but to be very scared and nervous.
"Who are you? Go away! We don't have any food here! Go somewhere else!"
Before Geralt could get close, a voice of expulsion came from a distance, as if the uninvited guest was not welcome at all.
Geralt's pupils shrank slightly, and his already creepy snake pupils now revealed a third of ferocity. But after a moment, his remaining rationality suppressed the violent aura.
Geralt shook his head helplessly, turned around and took another road to avoid the village.
……
A group of people, young and old, gathered at the village gate, and they were on guard against any suspicious outsiders.
After seeing Geralt leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that no one would compete with them for food.
An old man who looked quite prestigious said to the young man beside him, "Go and see how busy Young Master Qin is. It's time to distribute today's rations."
The young man was about to do what he was told when a boy who looked only about 16 or 17 years old came running towards him from the other side of the village, shouting.
"Village Chief! I brought back all the food for today! Let's go to the square and distribute it!"
The boy came to the crowd in high spirits, with his chest puffed out and a proud look on his face, as if he had made a great contribution.
The village chief smiled kindly, looked at the boy and asked, "Wesley, how much food did you bring back?"
Vesley said proudly, "That's a full 1,600 kilograms! Let's share it!"
Weisli originally thought that after he said this number, everyone would praise him for his ability, but the village chief's face changed and he seemed unhappy.
A middle-aged lady at the side spoke first: "Wesley, why is there less than last time? How can we have enough to eat?"
Weisley was a little confused, but he answered truthfully: "Brother Qin said that the growth of this batch of crops is not as good as before, so the harvest is a little less."
After hearing this, the people around him still looked dissatisfied, but they didn't say anything.
Weisli asked with some confusion: "Village Chief, these grains were given to us by Brother Qin for free. Shouldn't we thank him no matter how much it is?"
Hearing Weisli's words, the village chief showed a trace of helplessness on his face, sighed and replied: "Wesli, Master Qin provided us with food, we should indeed thank him"
"But we exchanged the land of the village for this food, it is not given to us for free."
"Besides, winter is coming soon. Each of our families needs to store enough food to survive the winter. If he only provides this little food, then everyone will starve in winter!"
After hearing this, Weisli scratched his head and did not respond. The village chief once again said to him earnestly: "You have a good relationship with Master Qin. Go and talk to him and ask him to plant more crops, so that everyone will not starve in the winter!"
Weisli nodded, and then the village chief called everyone to the square to distribute food.
Watching the backs of the people leaving, Weisli said to himself: "But that was given to us by Brother Qin for free. Shouldn't we be grateful?"
……
Qin Yu was working hard in the field with a towel on his head.
He has just reclaimed this piece of land and will soon be able to use it to grow crops, which will increase the harvest.
Half a year has passed since he came to this village.
When I first arrived at the village, I saw the pale and skinny Yashen people sitting in front of the houses in the village.
Qin Yu approached and asked in a friendly manner, only to find out that this village had been farming here for generations.
But somehow, eight years ago, the land here became harder and harder, making it impossible to cultivate.
The available land in the village is getting smaller and smaller, and the corresponding food is getting smaller and smaller.
At first they thought it was just a seasonal problem, but it lasted for many years and they missed the best time to remedy the situation.
As a result, the villagers had not had a full meal for a long time. They were so hungry that they were exhausted, let alone cultivating new land.
After Qin Yu heard about the villagers' plight, he realized that this might be his seventh test.
So he took the initiative to help the villagers reclaim the land and plant crops.
The villagers didn't think he could succeed at first, so they just let Qin Yu try.
When Qin Yu was in Qianlin Holy Land, he learned a lot of knowledge in this area from Yuan Ping and Qin Shuang, so he also knew a lot about agronomy.
He looked at the composition and properties of the soil, eventually found the problem, and then improved the soil environment with the special potion he brought with him.
However, the production cycle of this potion is very long. Qin Yu can only grow crops while using a small amount of land to grow the plant materials needed to make the potion to ensure that no one in the village will starve to death.
Half a year has passed, and the villagers are now able to eat their fill. Although it is still far from a bumper harvest, there is no longer a food crisis.
As Qin Yu reclaimed more and more wasteland, he also made more and more complete agricultural chemicals.
All kinds of pesticides are available, including those that can improve the land, protect crops, accelerate growth, increase yield, etc.!
According to the current progress, he will be able to completely reverse the land problem in this area in about half a year.
By then, he can hand over the land to the villagers, and he will have successfully completed his mission, and he should be able to pass this test.
(As for your question, since they are members of the Demigod tribe, they must all be very skilled, so why don’t they go hunting?
Nonsense, since this is a set level, it must be a deliberate test for Qin Yu. If everything is left to others to solve on their own, what is the point of Qin Yu coming here!
Therefore, there is not even a single hair within a radius of thousands of miles, only wasteland and forest. This village has no tradition of practicing martial arts, and all the people are ordinary sub-gods.)
