After returning from the Central Continent, Dan Feng and Roxy's life gradually returned to peace. Everything seemed so ordinary and mundane.
However, one thing had changed subtly—Dan Feng had become unusually busy.
Dan Feng had developed a strong interest in farming and devoted himself wholeheartedly to researching soil and planting.
To better understand this field, he purchased a large number of books related to soil and planting, reading them hungrily.
Although he possessed the Permansor Terrae template, which could accelerate plant growth, he knew very well that his knowledge in this area was still very lacking.
After all, in his previous life, he had never been involved in agriculture. Therefore, these books became an important way for him to acquire knowledge, while also allowing him to accumulate some experience points for his progress bar.
It was worth mentioning that ever since Dan Feng successfully killed Darius, his progress bar had quietly reached sixty-nine percent.
However, to make the progress bar continue rising, it seemed he still needed to complete some specific events.
Regarding this, Dan Feng did not dwell on it too much. He believed that as long as he kept putting in effort, he would eventually find a way to break through.
At this moment, Dan Feng was quietly sitting on the living room sofa, immersed in the world of books.
Meanwhile, Roxy was lazily lying on the sofa, resting her head on Dan Feng's lap while also holding a book.
This way of accompanying each other had already become commonplace for them.
Perhaps because she wanted to stay with Dan Feng, Roxy had chosen this quiet and warm way to spend time with him.
Today, Dan Feng finally closed the book about planting with a sense of relief, a feeling of accomplishment welling up in his heart.
He couldn't wait to put what he had learned from the book into practice, so he decided to go to the backyard of the mansion and try it himself.
The backyard of their mansion was extremely spacious—more than enough to use as farmland.
A few days earlier, Dan Feng had already prepared in advance. He had cleared away all the excess weeds and even specially purchased some fertile soil to replace the original ground, ensuring the planting conditions were optimal.
When Dan Feng moved his arms slightly and prepared to get up and head to the backyard, Roxy, who was sitting nearby, seemed to sense something. She suddenly sat up like a spring, her gaze locking tightly onto Dan Feng.
"What's wrong?" Dan Feng asked in confusion as he looked at Roxy's sudden movement.
Roxy tilted her head and looked at Dan Feng with a blank, adorable expression. That dazed look made one feel pity for her, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Seeing this, Dan Feng asked again: "I'm going to the backyard to plant some rice. Do you want to come along?"
"Eh?" Roxy was clearly a bit surprised by Dan Feng's suggestion. She blinked her large eyes, as if thinking about something.
...
The moment the High Elder picked up a hoe, I knew this world was finished...
However, Dan Feng did not pick up a hoe to till the soil like an ordinary person. Instead, he directly used Imaginary Energy to turn the land.
He simply waved both hands lightly, and the Imaginary Energy, like an invisible force, quickly loosened the soil.
Then, he quickly scattered the seeds onto the tilled land. These seeds were now one of his most precious treasures, because he really wanted to eat rice.
These were not ordinary seeds—they were rice seeds.
Because Dan Feng possessed the Permansor Terrae ability, during the planting process he only needed to use a small amount of water, then activate the Permansor Terrae ability, and the rice would grow rapidly.
Roxy, standing to the side, widened her eyes and watched Dan Feng's every move with great curiosity.
As time passed, Dan Feng's speed became faster and faster. His movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water.
In a short amount of time, he had already planted rice across this vast stretch of land.
Immediately after, a dazzling golden light appeared in Dan Feng's hand. This golden light sprinkled onto the newly planted land like sunlight.
At the same time, he silently chanted, "Cloud Chant Water Control!", and the Cloud Chant Technique quietly released a trickle of water, nourishing every rice plant.
Under the combined effect of the golden light and the water flow, the rice began to grow at an astonishing speed.
They rapidly grew taller, sprouted tender green leaves, and produced rice ears.
Before long, the rice ears had turned golden and were hanging low, heavy with grain—this meant they were already mature.
Every grain of rice was plump and round, crystal clear. From a distance, it looked like a golden ocean.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for rice to be uniformly plump, but whether it was because of the Permansor Terrae ability or not, these rice grains were all of the highest quality, making one marvel at the wonder of the Permansor Terrae ability.
"Is this good enough?" Dan Feng gazed at the field he had personally worked on, lost in thought.
He seemed to be thinking about something, then slowly began harvesting the now-mature rice.
Dan Feng's movements were skillful and clean. The Cloud-Piercer in his hand swiftly swept across the rice ears, harvesting them one by one.
His figure moved through the field, fully displaying the Cloud Rider Spear Technique across this farmland.
It was only after he had finished harvesting all the rice he had just planted that Dan Feng stopped his movements.
He looked at the mountain of rice grains piled up, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Roxy watched in surprise as Dan Feng danced with his spear in the field like flowing water.
Sunlight fell upon him, outlining his agile figure. Every movement was powerful and graceful. The Cloud-Piercer in his hand had already become one with him.
Dan Feng's spearmanship was like a sudden storm, yet also like a fluttering butterfly—dazzling to the eye. This was the Cloud Rider Spear Technique.
Roxy was completely captivated by his performance and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Dan Feng wielding a spear is really so handsome!"
However, when Dan Feng finished his spectacular "spear dance" performance and started planting rice again, Roxy's attention gradually began to drift.
The process of planting rice was simply too monotonous and boring. Dan Feng just kept repeating the same actions—bending down, planting, standing up—with no variation at all.
Watching Dan Feng mechanically repeat these movements, Roxy's eyelids began to grow heavy, and a yawn escaped her uncontrollably.
Although the yawn was very soft, Dan Feng's sharp senses still caught it.
Dan Feng stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at the somewhat sleepy Roxy, and asked with a smile: "Roxy, farming is boring, isn't it?"
Roxy smiled a bit embarrassedly and replied: "Mm, it is a little... But Dan Feng, you looked really handsome when you were dancing with the spear!"
Hearing this, Dan Feng felt a surge of joy. He smiled and said to Roxy: "Since you find it boring, then go do something else. I'll plant some more rice and make you a lavish dinner tonight."
Roxy quickly shook her head and said gently: "No need~ I'll just stay here and keep you company. Although this seems very boring, as long as I'm watching you, I feel very happy."
A warm current surged through Dan Feng's heart. Looking at Roxy's bright smile, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
In the end, he simply nodded lightly, then silently turned back around and continued planting his rice.
Dan Feng focused on repeating those few simple actions. The pile of rice beside him grew higher and higher, until there was no more room to put any more.
