Chapter 20: Game Instance: Magic Farm (18)

【 Elf Forest Land: Hundredfold Acceleration Function, unlocking 1 plot requires 1 elf mother tree root. 】

Land with a Hundredfold Acceleration Function, and a talent for Hundredfold Critical Harvest.

After owning the 【Elf Forest Land】, Wen Xiangjie's farm's earning capability was maximized.

Outsourcing the planting and harvesting of vegetables to Saka, Wen Xiangjie, who was lying in bed playing the game, would hear the harvesting notification sound every hour or so.

【Your plant 'tulip' has matured and can be harvested.】

【Ding! God-like Tycoon System talent activated! Your harvested plant 'tulip' has received a hundredfold return!】

【Your 1 'tulip' has triggered a critical strike, 100 'tulips' have been placed in your warehouse!】

Just this harvesting, it's so satisfying!

When she woke up again, it was already the morning of the ninth day. The first thing Wen Xiangjie did after opening her eyes was to sell all the plants piled up in her warehouse with one click.

【Sale complete, you have gained 276 million gold coins.】

Earning 276 million gold coins in one day, and this was only the effect of upgrading one plot of 【Elf Forest Land】.

If all her land was upgraded to 【Elf Forest Land】, Wen Xiangjie's wealth would further double!

A wonderful day began with the pleasant sound of gold coins falling into her pocket as soon as she woke up.

After washing up, Wen Xiangjie, as usual, sat with Saka at the table in the courtyard to eat breakfast.

Saka, who was usually incredibly happy during meals, showed a sad expression on his face for the first time.

While sad, he was still stuffing delicious food into his mouth.

“Goodbye, my fried chicken… my rice noodle rolls… my Guo Bao Rou…” With each bite of food, Saka would bid them a painful, muffled farewell.

Wen Xiangjie patted Saka's shoulder.

Saka's contract period was only three days, and today was the last day. In another hour, Saka would leave her farm.

To be honest, Wen Xiangjie was a little reluctant to see Saka go. Saka was truly a useful tool, she didn't have to worry about him at all; he could handle both planting and harvesting, and guarding the house, truly excelling in both.

Summoning the next Grand Magister would require re-training, which was troublesome.

Before Saka left, she decided to let this tool shine for her one last time, letting him mentor the new tool and help her train him.

Wen Xiangjie casually took out a Grand Magister Magic Contract and tore it open.

The familiar black hole appeared, and soon another white-bearded old man materialized in his place.

Wen Xiangjie: …

Do all you Grand Magisters automatically trigger some kind of magic transformation mechanism into white-bearded old men once you reach the Grand Magister realm?

“Human, I am Gould, a noble Grand Magister, even if you summoned me, don't think…”

These familiar lines made Wen Xiangjie silently turn her head to look at Saka.

Saka awkwardly looked up at the sky.

So that's how silly he was when he first arrived.

“Cough cough.” Saka wiped the oil from his hands and mouth, interrupting Gould's speech.

“Saka?” Gould looked at Saka in surprise.

“It's me.” Saka nodded.

Seeing that the two knew each other, Wen Xiangjie immediately became a hands-off boss, leaving everything to Saka and returning to her room to lie down and digest.

When Saka was about to leave, out of consideration for his dedicated service to her farm these past few days, Wen Xiangjie decided to see him off.

Pushing open the door of the small wooden house, Wen Xiangjie was greeted by the enthusiastic smiles of two bearded old men.

“Esteemed Farm Owner, you've arrived.”

Although the sight was a bit jarring, Wen Xiangjie still nodded with satisfaction.

After seeing Saka off, Gould took over seamlessly, and now he could even float in the air while gnawing on fried chicken drumsticks.

After Gould harvested a few batches of vegetables, the gold coin count reached 300 million. Wen Xiangjie purchased three more elf mother tree roots from Arabella to upgrade her land, then continued to slack off with a clear conscience.

Time came to the 10th day of the copy.

As Wen Xiangjie and Gould were eating breakfast, a notification sound suddenly echoed in the sky.

Wen Xiangjie, with a bun in her mouth, looked up.

Aside from the first day she entered the copy and heard “Welcome to the game copy 'Magic Farm'!”, this was the second time she had heard a notification sound from the sky.

This indicated that this notification sound could be heard by all examinees in the copy at the same time.

As Wen Xiangjie had expected, all examinees stopped what they were doing in surprise when they heard the notification sound.

“It's here.” Lin Zhaokai murmured, “I want to see if the first place is that lucky person. No, first place should be mine! He can at most get second place!”

What the examinees other than Lin Zhaokai didn't know was that this time, the notification sound in the copy could not only be heard by the examinees inside the copy but also by those outside!

The teachers and proctors outside the copy all perked up.

It's finally here!

Everyone immediately gathered at the entrance of the Magic Farm Game Copy, looking at the crack in the entrance with tension and anticipation.

Even the chief proctors, Geng Bingrong and Lin Yongyue, put aside their busy tasks and came to the proctoring platform, looking at the crack in the entrance along with the teachers and proctors.

【The 'Magic Farm' Game Copy has been ongoing for 9 days. We will now announce the current ranking of farm owners in the copy, calculated based on the value of each farm owner's land and the total gold coins in their game data.】

The uninformed examinees erupted in an uproar.

“Holy cow, they actually announce rankings midway!”

“Ahhh, why do we have this segment? I don't want to see my pathetic bottom-tier ranking, it will shatter my dao heart!”

“Hiss, so nervous, I wonder what rank I'll be.”

“I think my farm is developing quite well, so my ranking should be pretty high.”

“I really want to know how far the top few big shots' farms have developed!”

Not only were the examinees discussing, but the teachers at the copy entrance were discussing even more intensely.

“First place must be Lin Zhaokai from our school, after all, he's a Lin Family disciple, his grades are usually excellent, and he even awakened an SS-rank talent!”

“So what if he's from a Family? Don't forget General Xu, our country's strongest person right now, even though he came from humble beginnings, he still suppresses everyone from the Families!”

“Don't change the subject here. Among the examinees participating in this Magic Farm Game Copy, which one is more outstanding than Lin Zhaokai?”

“Lin Zhaokai's talent is indeed powerful, but for the Magic Farm Game Copy, it's not particularly well-matched. We have a girl in our class named Zhao Qiqi; although her talent is only A-rank, it's an extremely good match for this copy: 【Rapid Growth】. Her results should be good.”

“What about SS-rank talent? Wu Hongxuan, our school's top student, has an SSS-rank talent, 【Equivalent Exchange】!”
