Kapitel 13: Chapter 12, Harvest

Three months later.

Vaiss and Ghost were looking at the busy villagers harvesting the new rice and wheat.

But unlike normal, the villagers waved their sickles and the crops in front of them were harvested neatly. Behind said villagers were villagers with floating bamboo baskets, who sucked the harvested crops into their bamboo baskets before they dropped to the ground.

Vaiss smiled, no matter how many times he saw them, he always felt like watching a douluo version of harvest moon.

In these three months, except for sparring and observing the villagers, he had spent his time cultivating or going to the sea.

Vaiss was level 56 Spirit King now, his soul ring all upgraded to 50,000 years old. Their power was enhanced once more.

The first soul ring, Tower of Light, now could make ten towers every day and the limit increased to 50,000 years.

The second soul ring, Healing Light. The increase of his healing and purification power became 200%.

Now he could even regenerate organs if the damage was not too great and heal scar tissue, unfortunately, he could not regrow limbs yet. As for poison and remnant energy, he could even erase god-level stuff, but very slowly.

The third soul ring, Mind's Eye, increased his mental power and defense became 200%.

Thanks to this soul skill, his [Mind's Eye] skill became the first skill to upgrade without using points. Now his psychic ability was even more powerful.

His fourth soul skill, Corporeal Energy, enabled him to create golden weapons far stronger than real weapons, which could change to virtual or corporeal in an instant. His control was also stronger combined with his increased mental power.

His fifth soul skill was a passive soul skill called Space Control, which increased his control and power over space by 200%.

As for why he chose this, he wanted to confirm whether it was possible to upgrade his talent the same way [Mind's Eye] upgraded, by using empowerment from soul skill.

And it worked, his talent [Space Mastery] was upgraded. Vaiss found a loophole on how to quickly raise his talents lv, he was ecstatic.

As for the specific effects, he had yet to try it, Vaiss only tried teleporting and he managed to teleport to 10 meters away. He decided to check it later after the harvest.

After a month of observation, he had yet to see any detrimental aspect of the Martial Artifact plan. The children who underwent the plan were healthy and even increased their level by one.

Their spirit power was solid, and their martial soul was normal. Vaiss was relieved nothing happened, so he lessened his observation. He also investigated the villagers.

He wanted to make sure there were no bad elements before he started the next experiment, as it would involve all the villagers.

Vaiss wanted to catalog all the data about the villagers, their age, martial soul, innate spirit power, current spirit level, soul skills, etc. To use as a comparison after the plan.

But there was too much data, and Vaiss was not used to this kind of work, so he asked Ghost to send the result of Han Yu and the children to Bibi Dong and asked her to send professionals to help.

Bibi Dong was shocked and elated by the result, she wanted to spread the plan to the Spirit City even more than Ghost but she understood the risk, so she held herself.

She sent two personnel, the two were born and raised in Spirit City just like their parents, so they could be trusted.

Ghost knew he couldn't help Vaiss regarding the experiment or restriction, so he was glad he could help like this. The trip took a week because Ghost was speeding all the time and took a straight road whenever possible.

The two personnel happily took the job and did it even more seriously and passionately than Vaiss. For the two personnel, being able to take part in a trailblazer experiment that would go down in history like this was something they dreamed of!

After cataloging the data, Vaiss talked to Han Xu about his intention of letting everyone in the village undergo the Martial Artifact plan. Hearing this, Han Xu directly agreed.

He had observed the children more than Vaiss and he knew what kind of benefits the plan brought. There were a few spirit masters in the village, the strongest one was the butcher, Han Yan, 43 years old, his martial soul was a cleaver knife, a level 15 spirit master with a white soul ring.

For Han Xu and the other villagers, just the natal skill brought by the Martial Artifact plan was already plenty for them, not to mention the increased cultivation speed.

After getting the villager's consent, Vaiss immediately started the second plan. The one with smaller energy veins than their martial soul got new energy veins, and then all their martial souls were transformed.

The villagers were grateful to Vaiss for this newfound power and bowed deeply to him, some almost kneeled but were stopped by Vaiss.

After a month, under Vaiss and the two personnel observations, there was nothing amiss. The villagers were healthy, even more after the plan, the data was normal, and nothing was wrong both physically and mentally.

Albeit the time of observation was short, it could be determined that the plan didn't have any detrimental effect. But Vaiss decided to wait until half a year before ending the experiment, he knew there was nothing wrong with the theory and practice, he just wanted to be sure.

The two personnel agreed with him.

After that, Vaiss began the planting of the new rice and wheat. From start to end the villagers did their job using their martial souls as they felt that using their martial souls was more convenient and faster, and it was. Thanks to their natal skill.

Besides observing the villagers and waiting for the crops to grow, Vaiss usually went to the sea.

The sea in the douluo world was free of pollution unlike his previous life, and because the sea dweller here was a soul beast, their size and taste were very different from his previous life.

Here, there was a prawn species as big as 30cm, and a lobster as big as 1m, and they tasted even better. As soon as Vaiss heard it, he flew to the nearest coastal village. And he found a three-meter salmon, he made a big seafood feast that day.

Back to the present, finally, today was the harvest.

"System, exchange for the one-click processing machine and its blueprint."

"Ding, 2500 points had been deducted. The machine is placed inside the host space ring."

Vaiss checked it, the machine was rectangular with an inlet and outlet on either side and in the middle was a touch interface, it used all kinds of energy to function. The use was simple: power it up, enter the type of crops, then pour the crop into the inlet, and the machine would take care of the rest. Truly a one-click processing machine.

After the harvest was done, Vaiss told the villagers to take the new rice and wheat and followed him. Vaiss took them to the empty house which has changed into his residence in the village.

With his creation power and the villager's help, the house turned into a two-story villa with a large lawn, it was the biggest house in the village.

Vaiss took out the machine on the lawn and explained its use of the machine and demonstrated it to the villagers. The rice and wheat that came out from the machine were placed inside a ten kg brown cloth bag.

"I'll leave this machine here for you, just make some simple cover to shield it from rain."

The villagers were happy, this machine was too convenient for them. The process that should have taken days was completed in mere three hours.

Vaiss gave 1000kg of each rice and wheat to the village along with 100 gold coins as payment for renting the land and their services.

"Young master, we can't accept this! You've done too much for our village, we have yet to repay you!"

"Just accept it, the plan will be popularized to the whole continent sooner or later and you are essentially the tester, so you don't need to feel indebted."

"But…"

"Just accept it!"

After Vaiss insisted, Han Xu finally accepted the money and let the male villagers carry the bags.

When the villagers left, Vaiss cooked 5kg of rice with ten seafood dishes, On the first try of the rice, Vaiss went all out.

Ghost and the other two personnel waited with anticipation and tears from the corner of their mouth.

When Vaiss opened the rice cooker, the scent of the rice burst and filled the whole house, arousing his appetite like a moth to a flame.

The food was placed on the table with the rice as the highlight in the middle.

"Let's eat!"

With Vaiss' permission, the four began to eat. The first bite of the rice, they froze for a second before devouring it and took a second bowl.

The rice was more plump than normal, and the fragrant scent, texture, and taste were incredible. Especially when combined with food, it compliments every taste.

They stayed silent, the only thing they could think of was to eat. In only 20 minutes, the rice and dishes were wiped out. The four of them were leaning on their chairs with supreme contentment.

Then a warm sensation spread from their stomach to their whole bodies, it was very comfortable and they were shocked to feel their cultivation increasing.

The effect was weak for Ghost as he was already a titled douluo, it was also weak for Vaiss due to his pure and dense spirit power. But for the two personnel who were Spirit Kings, they felt if they could eat this kind of rice for two weeks, they could increase their level by one.

"Are you sure?!"

"Yes, we are sure, your majesty."

"It is unbelievable but these rice contained so much spirit power that could be easily absorbed."

They looked a little unsatisfied even after eating a lot, Ghost looked at Vaiss.

"Young Master, we need to restrict and grow these crops for ourselves!"

Such outrageous crops couldn't be allowed to flow outside, it must be monopolized or it might strengthen the Spirit Hall's enemy. Ghost knew that Vaiss was kind and these crops were intended to be spread to the whole continent, but with this kind of effect, it was too risky.

Vaiss was silent, he knew the risk if these crops were released outside, but this was something he intended to spread to reduce word hunger.

"System, can you reduce the effect?"

"Ding, yes."

Vaiss' eyes lit up.

"Then do it!"

"Ding, reducing the second-grade seed cultivation accelerating effect…Success."

"Good!"

Vaiss smiled and looked at Ghost.

"Grandpa, I will still spread this."

"But.."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I will reduce their effect, so it won't be so prominent. And I still have another kind with a stronger effect on my hand.

The one we ate is the second-grade, the first-grade will have a stronger effect, we'll make the first-grade exclusive for the Spirit Hall."

"Good! Good!"

Ghost nodded repeatedly, and the two personnel were smiling widely. The thought of increasing their level just by eating in the future made them feel more grateful for joining the Spirit Hall.

"Grandpa, I'll have to trouble you to take some of the rice and wheat to my mother, and the result of the second Martial Artifact plan experiment."

"Understood, Young master."

Vaiss turned to the two personnel.

"You two, I need you to check the improvement of the villagers tomorrow."

"Understood." x2

"Okay then, let's rest for today."

What they didn't know was that a certain dragon stole about 1000kg of each rice and wheat, and rushed back to the Great Star Dou forest.

The moment Di Tian smelled the rice, he felt a huge desire to eat it, but he managed to hold himself back and only stole some of them. He felt the rice was extremely beneficial for the soul beast clan.

Di Tian also left a note in Vaiss' room.
