Chapter 20 - Taking up the Farmer Profession 2

Chapter 20 Taking up the Farmer Profession 2

The last class in the afternoon was Teacher Wang Jianjia’s English class.

After the bell rang, the classroom instantly became noisy because it was the holidays.

Wang Jianjia put down the test paper regretfully and said loudly, “Students, please be quiet. I have something important to announce.”

“After I’m done, you can leave immediately!”

“If you keep making trouble, I’ll keep waiting until you quieten down!”

Wang Jianjia’s words were very powerful. After she finished speaking, the noisy classroom immediately went silent.

“Next Monday is the second provincial joint mock exam! It’s especially important. Don’t forget to revise your homework when you get home…”

“The results of this provincial joint exam will be announced online. If your results are too bad, you will be mocked by the third-year students in the province.”

“Furthermore, the school has implemented a new policy to use the results of this mock exam as the basis for further class segregation!” Wang Jianjia said very seriously.

“Students ranked below the 100th in the entire grade will form a new class called the Progressive Class.”

This was because the school felt that the students ranked in the bottom 100 of the cohort were basically hopeless. If they were scattered in different classes, they would even affect the learning of the classes.

The school might as well put these lousy students together, in any case, they were already at rock bottom.

As soon as Wang Jianjia finished, everyone in class looked at Li Chengqian with gloat and pity in their eyes.

They don’t know about the other students but judging from Li Chengqian’s results from the previous few tests, he was definitely in the bottom 100 of the grade.

In other words, after the exam results are released next week, Li Chengqian would be kicked out of Grade 12 Class 5.

Jian Qingli smiled at Li Chengqian and

whispered, “Li Chengqian, I think the school is targeting you.”

Li Chengqian smiled and didn’t respond.

In his previous life, he had indeed been sent to

the Progressive class.

But it was impossible this time round!

That was because as long as the questions are

within the syllabus, he would be able to score full marks for any test paper!

Liu Daqiang couldn’t hold back the smile on his face. If Teacher Wang Jianjia wasn’t still in the classroom, he would definitely have laughed out loud.

These few days, he discovered that Li Chengqian was indeed listening attentively in

class.

However, it had only been three days, how much could Li Chengqian improve?

The most he could do was to score 30 more

marks.

He was still worried that if Li Chengqian continued to be so serious, he might really do better at the university entrance examination. After listening to what Teacher Wang Jianjia said, he was no longer worried. Because Li Chengqian would definitely be assigned to the Progressive class.

How could a good teacher be assigned to the Progressive class? The teacher assigned to the Progressive class would be someone who had just joined the profession and wouldn’t have much teaching experience.

Without good teaching resources, it was impossible for Li Chengqian to improve in such

a short period of time.

“Two days ago, Li Chengqian even asked me to wait and see his exam results…”

“This is great!”

“I’m really waiting to see your results this

time. Then, I’ll wait to see you get kicked out

of Grade 12 Class 5.”

The other students looked at Li Chengqian with pity before retracting their gazes.

“That’s it. School’s over!” In an instant, most people rushed out of the classroom.

“Li Chengqian, come with me. I want to talk to

you alone.” Wang Jianjia didn’t leave, but waved at Li Chengqian.

She also felt that the school’s policies were unfair to students like Li Chengqian. However, she was a nobody and couldn’t change the school’s decision.

She had been observing Li Chengqian’s behavior the past few days.

Li Chengqian listened especially attentively in

every lesson. There was a huge change in his learning attitude from before. She could clearly see that Li Chengqian had really changed.

Wang Jianjia would never give up on any student who was willing to learn.

It would be a real pity if Li Chengqian really

gave up on studying because of this incident. “Teacher must have been worried that Li Chengqian would be provoked, so she asked him to stay back so that she could give him a prep talk.” Liu Daqiang was still packing his bag.

“Poor thing, he is about to be chased to another class. How pitiful.” Although Liu Daqiang said this, his beaming face clearly indicated that he was in a great mood. In Wang Jianjia’s office.

“Li Chengqian, I will continue to give feedback

to the school about the new segregation policy and try to keep you in our class.”

“However, the chances are not high.”

“But I can promise you that even if you enter

the Progressive class, you can come to me if you have any problems.” Wang Jianjia said seriously.

A trace of gratitude flashed in Li Chengqian’s

eyes. Then, he said calmly, “Teacher, thank for your concern.”

you

“However, I’m confident that I can stay in Grade 12 Class 5!”

Li Chengqian wasn’t planning to lie low in this

exam!

He wanted to score full marks!

Then, he would bring the results home and

show them to his parents!

He wanted his parents to stop worrying about

his results and stop being embarrassed in front of their colleagues.

He wanted his parents to be able to proudly tell

others that when his son scored full marks in the second provincial mock exam! “En, I have faith in you, but don’t be too

optimistic. You also have to prepare for the worst outcome. You may go now.” Wang Jianjia looked at Li Chengqian’s confident appearance and couldn’t bear to dampen his spirits, so she

could only frown and remind him. In the last exam, Li Chengqian’s ranking in Tianyi High School was 10th from the bottom.

Her thoughts were the same as Liu Daqiang’s. Li Chengqian had indeed been very focused

these few days, but how much could he improve just by concentrating for a few short days?

“Yes, Teacher!” Li Chengqian replied and quickly returned to the classroom.

He could naturally tell that Teacher Wang

Jianjia didn’t believe him, but he didn’t explain because there was no need to do so.

After the exam results are released next week, Wang Jianjia would know why he, Li Chengqian, was so confident.

“Open the personal interface.” When he

returned to the classroom, Li Chengqian silently chanted in his heart while packing his

bag.

Name: Li Chengqian Intelligence: 19 (Average adult is 10 points)

Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points)

Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Profession: Student level 9 (Advanced)

Skill:

4.Senior High School Knowledge (Master) 5.Rational Thinking (Master) Experience Pool: 17,948 “Purchase a Profession Slot!” Without

thinking, Li Chengqian directly opened the Profession Mall.

[You have consumed 10,000 experience value points. You have obtained a new Profession Slot. You have 7,948 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]

Li Chengqian switched to the Profession Certificate purchase interface and bought the

Profession Certificate for the Farmer profession without hesitation.

[You have consumed 5,000 experience value points. You have obtained the Profession Certificate for the Farmer profession. You have 2,948 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]

A new page appeared in front of Li Chengqian.

[Profession Certificate: Farmer] [Job Requirement 1: You need a hoe (Incomplete)]

[Job Requirement 2: You need a unit of arable land (Incomplete)] These two requirements were exactly the same

in the Master of All Professions game that Li

Chengqian played in his previous life.

He could purchase a hoe from a hardware store on his way home.

As for land, there were many overgrown grasslands below his block. According to the rules of the Master of All Professions game, a

one square meter piece of land was considered

a unit of land.

“All set!” Li Chengqian walked out of the classroom with a face full of smiles. At his block, Li Chengqian spent Herculean

effort cleaning up a piece of grassland that was one meter long and one meter wide. Then, he used the newly bought hoe to turn the

soil.

The second notification of the Farmer profession appeared in front of him. [Profession Certificate: Farmer.] [Job Requirement 1: You need a hoe (Completed)]

[Job Requirement 2: You need a unit of arable

land (Completed)]

[You have successfully taken on the Farmer

profession! Current Farmer profession level

0…]

“Woohoo, it’s finally completed!” Li Chengqian almost collapsed from exhaustion. After seeing the notification of his successful transition, he

was so excited that he almost cried out. “Open the personal interface!” Name: Li Chengqian

Intelligence: 19 (Average adult is 10 points)

Strength: 10 (Average adult is 10 points) Agility: 10 (Average adult is 10 points)

Profession : Student level 9 (Advanced), Farmer level 0 (0/1)↑ Skill:

4.Senior High School Knowledge (Master) 5.Rational Thinking (Master) Experience Pool: 2,948 “Upgrade!” Li Chengqian began to upgrade

with eager anticipation. The experience value points in the Experience

Pool were universal and could be used to

upgrade the Farmer profession proficiency

level.

Very little experience value points was required

to upgrade a basic Profession, so Li Chengqian

didn’t hesitate to upgrade the Farmer

profession to level 9.

[1,421 experience value points consumed, Farmer profession upgraded to level 9 (advanced), 1,527 experience value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]

[Your Strength Stats +9, current Strength: 19

points.] [Level 0, you have obtained Passive Skill: (Novice 0/1). Skill Effect: Endurance increases by 10%, consumption decreases by

Endurance

10%.]

[Level 3, you have obtained Skill: Wasteland Reclamation (Novice 0/3). Skill Effect: Consumes 1 Stamina Point. You can instantly turn 10 units of wasteland into fertile farmland

and can flatten the terrain of this portion of

land.]

[Level 5, you have obtained Skill: Planting (Novice 0/5). Consumes 1 Stamina Point. You

can instantly

plant seeds on 10 units of land.

The yield of crops will be constantly maximized. The growth time will be reduced to

1 hour.] [Level 7 Skill: Harvest (Novice 0/7). Consumes

1 Stamina Point. You can instantly harvest 10

units of crops.]

[Level 9, you have obtained passive skill: Strength (Novice 0/9). You have been doing manual labor for a long time. You are strong

and powerful. Your strength has increased by

10%.]

When Li Chengqian raised the level of the

Farmer profession to level 9, an explosive burst

of power came out from his body. The fats on his belly disappeared at an

extremely terrifying speed after his Strength

Stats increased. Then, it turned into an

eight-pack.

Every part of his body felt warm, as if he was

soaking in warm water. The increased Strength Stats released crazy amounts of energy, but without endangering Li

Chengqian’s health.

Li Chengqian waved his arm, and a powerful

force surged out from his body, making Li

feel as if he had an inexhaustible

Chengqian source of strength.

“This is a wonderful sensation.” Li Chengqian

couldn’t suppress the smile on his face.

Only then did he turn his attention to the new

Skill.

“These two Skills are both abilities to increase one’s physique. Upgrade!” [You have consumed 810 experience value points. Passive skill: Endurance (Master), Passive skill: Strength (Master). You have 717

experience value points left in the Experience

Pool.]

After the Endurance skill was upgraded to

Master level, the effect would be increased by

60% and the consumption would be reduced by

60%.

Li Chengqian initially felt quite hungry because

he was busy farming after he came back from

school, and didn’t have time to eat. After the Endurance skill has been upgraded to Master level, the originally unbearable feeling

of hunger became less uncomfortable.

After the Strength skill reached Master level,

the increase was from 10% to 60%.

Li Chengqian felt his body heating up. A

powerful force was in his body trying to find an

outlet.

The fatigue in his body was swept away, and he

instantly became energetic!

The Strength Stats on his personal interface increased from 19 points to 30.4, more than

three times that of an ordinary person! Initially, he felt that the hoe in his hand was a little heavy, but now, it was light as a straw. After testing the effect of the passive skills, Li

Chengqian shifted his gaze to the active skills. The Farmer profession was especially

important in the Master of All Professions game. The food that was farmed could be used

to quickly replenish the consumption of the

game

character.

“I’m not in a hurry to upgrade my proficiency

for the time being. I’ll try the skills of the Farmer profession first and see the effect in reality.” Li Chengqian looked at the one unit of

land he had reclaimed with a hoe in front of

him.

When he was reclaiming the wasteland just now, he realized that peas are very suitable for

use as a test of the effectiveness of the skills. Although the location he had chosen was very secluded and it was unlikely for anyone to spot

him, it would be troublesome if someone did

see him.

Peas were very inconspicuous. Even if someone

did see them, no one would make much of it.

“I’ll upgrade the proficiency of the Planting skill first. This way, the time needed to plant

will be very short.” According to the memories Planting skill to Master level, common plants

of his previous life, after upgrading the

such as peas would mature in three minutes.

[You

have consumed 405 experience value

points, Planting skill (Master), 312 experience

value points remaining in the Experience Pool.]

“Plant!” After obtaining all the ripe peas, Li

Chengqian used the Planting skill on the

reclaimed land.

[This plot of land was not reclaimed using the Wasteland Reclamation skill. The Planting skill

cannot be used.]

“Then let’s use Wasteland Reclamation skill to

reclaim first!”

Fortunately, the range of use for the Wasteland Reclamation skill could be controlled. The smallest range was one unit of land. “Reclaim!”

Immediately, the land that he had used Herculean effort to reclaimed transformed. The range became a standard square with a

length and width of one meter. The ground in the square instantly flattened.

The yellow soil instantly turned into fertile

black soil. The soil was moist and fertile. It was obvious that it was a good land.

Li Chengqian looked at this scene in extreme

surprise. This was because in his previous life,

in the Master of All Professions game,

he only

needed to point at an empty spot. There were

basically no changes.

However, in reality, the effect of the Wasteland Reclamation skill was very obvious.

Li Chengqian looked around as if he was a

thief. After confirming that there was no one

around, he

heaved a sigh

of

relief. “The effect

of the skills must not be seen by anyone.”

“Plant!”

A ripe pea

disappeared from his hand and

landed in the center of the ground.

Then, green sprouts appeared at a speed that

was visible to the naked eye, instantly covering

the entire land. It was lush, as if it had been

growing for a month.

Then, above the land,

[Watering]

a notification appeared.

Li Chengqian poured a bucket of water on it. Immediately,

small white flowers bloomed on

the pea vine, as if they were fast-forwarding.

The

flowers withered at an extremely fast

speed, and the plump pods hung with vines.

[Mature, ready to

be harvested]

“Harvest!” After Li Chengqian saw the

notification, he used the Harvest skill straightaway.

In the next moment, the pea vines in the

ground

turned into white dust and landed on

the ground. The two plastic bags in front of Li

Chengqian became filled with peas. [Pea Pods: 30 kilograms]

[Pea pods characteristic. One kg of pea pod can

restore 10 points of strength within an hour.]

Without the food planted by the Farmer

profession, the three-dimensional restoration

of the body could only be refreshed at 12 am

every day.

Currently, due to the fact that he didn’t have

many professions, the consumption of

three-dimensional skills was also

very low.

Therefore, Restoration Stats didn’t seem that important now. However, after the profession

has been advanced, about 10 points of

three-dimensional

Stats would be consumed

when using a single Skill.

By then, food planted by the Farmer profession would be extremely

important.

“Let’s eat stir-fried pea pods tonight!” The two

bags weighed a total of 30 kilograms, but in Li

Chengqian’s hands, they were as light as

feathers.
