351: Chapter 231: Harvesting and Planting 351: Chapter 231: Harvesting and Planting “I’m so stupid. Seriously, I only knew there were two experiments, but didn’t ask what they were or how long they would last…” The next morning, Lu Ping’an walked back to his “dormitory” with dark circles under his eyes, like a zombie. He was exhausted. Those guys treated women like men, and men like beasts. In their eyes, Lu Ping’an was probably a rare yet renewable resource. All night long, he was busy catalyzing plants, recording the growth of various Magic Plants, and discussing their concepts of Life Modules. But surprisingly, he did gain a lot throughout the night. His senior brothers and sisters, in their fanaticism, not only willingly imparted precious knowledge, but also directly gave him many expensive Magic Plants and Magic Potions. “I guess I’ve hit the jackpot…” Tired as hell, Lu Ping’an walked into his half-plane space, found a vacant room, didn’t even bother to close the door, and just dropped into sleep. I guess I’ll just skip today’s class. When he woke up, he was startled by the sight before him. A group of girls were waiting outside the door. Lu Ping’an glanced at them. They seemed a bit anxious but didn’t dare to disturb him. When they saw that Lu Ping’an woke up, they smiled but still seemed shy about entering. He yawned, looked at the clock, and it was half past noon… Then he understood. “Do you guys need your BUFF for today? If you don’t get going soon, you’ll be late for your afternoon class.” After saying that, Lu Ping’an got up, did a little mental review, and recharged the girls with the BUFF. He didn’t react to their endless gratitude nor paid any attention to their fancy makeup. He just yawned once again and walked back to his room to get more sleep… It seemed the classes in the afternoon were about Gardening and some required courses for Cultivation? That’s fine, I’ll just skip those too. But once you’re awake, it’s kind of hard to go back to sleep. After the others left, Lu Ping’an casually began to “harvest.” [Received a small amount of Makeup skills experience, received a small amount of Writing (Pollution) skills experience, received a moderate amount of Basic Spear skills experience…] The experience flowed like a screen sweep. Lu Ping’an frowned, his overloaded brain started to hurt a bit. But what he saw next astonished him. “…They didn’t sleep all night, continued practicing, and then went to class straight after? Are they workaholics?” Among the three girls, two of them stayed up late into the night, and based on the memory fragments they shared, they were still practicing at three or four in the morning. Basic combat skills are about standards and stability. They had video references and guidance from instructors, so the difficulty was almost non-existent. What remained was just hard work. But surprisingly, even these greenhorns provided Lu Ping’an with considerable experiences: 71 points for Long Knife and 68 points for War-hammer. It was enough to make him wonder. Even though Professional Skills level up fast in the early stages, it shouldn’t be to such an extent. What’s more, their shared comprehension and insights from continuously adjusting their poses and referencing videos to correct their wrong movements had also become “experience” for Lu Ping’an. This kind of training itself has neither depth nor difficulty. It merely involves endless repetition and refinement. The fragments from this refinement, which are countless repetitions of one module, were completely consumed by Lu Ping’an. His “Spearmanship” and “War-hammer” skills were very close to leveling up. Even his “Slaughter Soldier Lv9” had gained two experience points…Though it’s not much, it was the first time he had gained experience after combining his abilities. Previously, his Battle Axe Mastery Lv9 had been stuck. Lu Ping’an hadn’t found his own “way”. But now that he was gaining experience, it meant that he might be unstuck now. “So, what I lack is the time and effort, the hard work of tenacity… Then let them even work harder.” But the third girl, the somewhat strange Mei Yuge, caused Lu Ping’an to frown. This lass had indeed been working hard. She practiced diligently until ten o’clock at night and gave Lu Ping’an 9 experience points for his spearmanship… Well, that was the Dividends one might normally expect. “How come this young girl sleeps so well… Eh, it’s not that she sleeps early, but rather, the other two were pushing too hard.” All three of them had started practicing together, as the facilities in the half-plane were enough for them to use. They each had left at about ten. The other two didn’t behave though. They ate some late-night snacks in their rooms and then went back to the practice field to keep working. Thanks to Lu Ping’an’s “Investment” of double stamina and his body’s ability to recover strength through swimming, they were able to keep going. Without those, they would have collapsed long ago. Because of each other’s company, their competitive spirits were stoked. Both of them persisted and refused to return to their rooms. It wasn’t until dawn when they couldn’t withstand anymore and had to prepare for today’s continuous classes that they finally got back to their rooms and caught up on about an hour of sleep. During the training, they even went into weapon sparring… Their arm strength limited them from wielding real heavy weapons, and the wooden weapons limited the damage they could inflict on each other. However, their basic technique training, with the mentality that they were trying to kill each other, was extremely intense. They gave Lu Ping’an quite a bit of actual combat experience. “…They will die, they really are going to die. I should have a word with them. At least, I can’t just overfish.” But he didn’t know that his seemingly ascetic lifestyle of “coming home from work in the early morning” had, in fact, inspired others to level up even harder. “Lu Ping’an…. The President possesses such a super Abnormal Ability capable of leeching off of others’ growth, yet he still tries so hard.” “Even in his dreams, he was saying things like ‘this is not how we plant this flower’, ‘no more potions, it’s gonna explode, it’s gonna explode.’ That’s a wild kind of Cultivation.” “I originally wanted a friend to help him request leave for his morning class, but the teacher didn’t care.” “I heard that as an official member of the Special Service Team, he seems to have the privilege of skipping classes freely and passing exams without taking them. However, his class schedule is terrifying, it’s four to five times heavier than that of an average logistics professional.” “Five times? How is that possible? No, maybe it is possible if you have that ‘Investment’ and you’re willing to risk your life.” “He’s really overworking. If he’s pushing himself this hard, how can we afford to stop…” What Lu Ping’an didn’t know was the source of the girls’ current excessive work and that he was the cause for them to work even harder in the future. After experiencing the super BUFF from his “Investment”, which provided endless stamina, inspiration and fast physical recovery, and after feeling their own considerable growth, they no longer doubted Lu Ping’an’s ability to fulfill his promise of “three first-tier skills”. On the contrary, they were afraid. They feared that because of their own laziness and dullness, Lu Ping’an might take the quota away from them. “…Judging by the results, isn’t it effective?” At least now, Lu Ping’an was quite satisfied with what he had gained. Perhaps in not too long, his first Lv10 skill would emerge. Or, apart from using it to break through his Battle-profession limitation, he might also be able to “plant” some seeds for other professions.
