Nong Po Valley.
Summer of the first year.
Eighth day.
Morning.
Irin woke up early.
He felt refreshed.
He rode on Little Skinny alone and brought the three mother spirits to the seaside.
Wylie's fisherman's hut was not open yet, and there was a resident sleeping in a tent by the river. But the sky was not bright yet, and it was the best time for Irin to do something.
A few days ago, Irin had caught a wave of fish. River fish, lake fish, sea fish, everything.
So what if Wylie did not give him a fishing rod? It did not matter, since he did not rely on fishing rods.
If he used the fishing rod recklessly, it would affect his speed of catching fish.
"Huuu — —"
Irin faced the ocean and stretched out his five fingers. His expression was serious as light streaks appeared in front of his eyes.
— — [Grip of Annihilation].
But this time, it wasn't an ordinary skill.
Irin used his heart to feel the speed of the light streaks, and tried to change the movement of his five fingers to change the direction of the light streaks.
Boom!!!
A few moments later.
A ten meter tall water pillar exploded on the surface of the ocean.
"Hualala …"
The salty seawater was blasted into the air and turned into rain. Irin had a helpless expression. Before the rain fell on his head, he opened his umbrella and did not let a single drop of water fall on his body.
"Rin King, what are you doing?"
Gaya Koto Mei's translucent body floated behind Irin.
Today, she specially wore a cute bikini.
Disguising was her innate skill.
How much imagination she had, how much she could disguise.
Her heart was limitless, and so was her uniform.
The picture on the front of the bikini was squeezed into an "awkward" shape.
Gaya Koto Mei looked curiously at Irin's movements.
Irin's actions continued for close to a week.
She hadn't asked before, but she really didn't understand what Yi Lin was doing.
After the skill's power wreaked havoc on the surface of the ocean, there were scattered white streaks.
Oh, there were also some fresh seaweed.
"Unseal."
There was no one around, and Irin had nothing to do, so he said two words to Gaya Koto Mei as an explanation.
"Unseal?"
"Our skills have strict restrictions."
"The essence of breaking through the 'lock' of the Mental Attribute is to 'unlock' a certain skill when the Mental Attribute reaches its limit, truly turning the 'skill' into one's own ability. This is the key to breaking through the first lock of the Mental Attribute."
"As for the second lock, although I don't have a clue, I think it has something to do with the unsealing of skills."
Among Irin's current skills:
Only [Calamity Entanglement] was successfully unsealed and shortened the casting time.
His other skills had yet to be developed.
Firstly, Yi Lin knew very well that unsealing a skill wasn't something that could be done in one go.
It required a deep understanding of the skill and a lot of repetitive training.
Before Irin was reborn in this timeline.
Other than Irin herself, Irin also knew a few friends who had unlocked the first layer of the Mind Lock through their own efforts.
However, Irin had never heard of anyone who had broken through the second Spiritual Lock.
It was too difficult.
Even if Irin used [Bloodthirsty Calamity], he could not forcefully break through. One could imagine that it was not so easy to break through the second Spiritual Lock.
In the real world, Irin had many things to do, and the building of the guild required a lot of effort. Irin also did not have so much time.
Although the farming trial was quite tiring, as there was not much pressure, Irin could finally find time to train his skills and think of ways to unseal them one by one.
This time, Irin had his eyes on the [Grip of Annihilation].
The [Grip of Annihilation] had two restrictions.
One was that he had to use his' hand 'to lock onto the release point of the skill.
Two was that the range of the skill was fixed and could not be changed.
Irin believed that as long as he changed one point, he would be able to unlock the skill.
To Irin, releasing the skill with his bare hands was not a harsh restriction. Why not work on the range of the skill, as it would be more beneficial for the next step of the skill.
Although Gaya Koto did not understand.
That did not stop her from wearing a bikini and happily cheering for Irin.
"Let's train for a while more."
Irin looked up at the sky. It was about time for the residents of the town to wake up and move around.
He once again faced the sea, stretched out his five fingers, and muttered to himself:
"Let's say that the explosive power of the [Grip of Annihilation] is fixed under the influence of the same attribute."
"Then,"
"As long as I think of a way to compress the range of the explosion and average it out, wouldn't it be the same as increasing the power of the skill?"
"Even if it is compressed to an infinitesimal point,"
"Or at an infinitesimal point, when 'Annihilation' is triggered,"
"What kind of effect will it produce?"
"A super romantic explosion?"
"Or … a black hole?"
…
8 AM.
Irin stopped training.
He had also used up a lot of Spiritual Energy.
Before leaving, Irin stuffed [Seaweed], [Starfish], [Blood-Stained Shark Fin], [Sullen Tentacle], and other random materials into his backpack. He went back and thought about how to cook them.
Other than farming, cooking had also become one of Irin's joys in this trial.
On the way back, Irin bumped into a short-haired girl wearing a farmer's outfit at the crossroads of Gugu Town and the seaside.
"Yo, good morning."
Irin adjusted his hat and greeted the girl cheerfully.
The person who came was none other than no one else.
It was the genius farmer girl who was very anxious about Irin's ranking on the "Farmer Ranking" … Qian Duoduo.
"Why is it you again!"
Qian Duoduo did not expect to bump into Irin at the seaside in the morning. Her sunny and beautiful face instantly darkened, and she almost cried out a storm.
A few days ago, Irin bumped into Qian Duoduo at Pippi's grocery store.
They added each other as friends.
Of course,
They had mentioned it before.
Adding friends between apostles was not as simple as really becoming good friends.
After adding each other as friends, one could confirm whether they were dead or not in the communication list at any time. This was a very convenient function.
"You're going fishing too?"
Qian Duoduo purposely walked a few meters away. When she passed by Irin, she asked.
"Yes."
"Oh."
After a simple exchange, when Qian Duoduo was about to head to the seaside, she suddenly remembered something. She turned her head and stared at Irin's back. "Oh right, did you notice that the fish are especially hard to catch recently?"
"Yo? Now that you mention it, it seems like it. "Irin turned around and revealed an innocent expression. He asked casually," But why is that? "
"…"
Qian Duoduo stared at Irin's innocent face suspiciously.
Her intuition told her that the recent sharp drop in fishing income was very likely related to this guy.
After all, this guy's ranking on the ranking list was too ridiculous.
He rushed to the first place in an instant. This made Qian Duoduo ponder. What method did this guy use to obtain such a high income in such a short time?
"Forget it."
Qian Duoduo resisted the urge to ask and hurriedly rushed to the seaside.
To do a certain mission, she needed ten "tuna". She had to get them today.
According to the information provided by Fisherman Willy, tuna could only be caught during the summer and winter, from six in the morning to seven in the afternoon. Qian Duoduo did not want to miss the opportunity to fish.
Go!
"You're so young, but you're really hardworking. I hope you can catch them soon. "
Irin looked at Qian Duoduo's back that was filled with fighting spirit as she left. He could not help but silently say, "Good luck." She was really too hardworking. She was so encouraging.
Walking in Gugu Town, the morning sun spread on the stone road. Irin began to plan the day's itinerary in her heart.
"I don't need to harvest today. If it's just watering, it won't be a problem to finish it in the afternoon."
"There was a wave of mining yesterday. I have enough materials, so I won't go to the mine for today."
"Pipi's expression is a bit strange these few days. Maybe he has some mission on him. Later when he opens for business, I'll go check it out."
"A few of the recipes require 'milk'. It's not a good idea to go to Marnie's farm every night with milk buckets. If it wasn't for Old Lu who went to her farm diligently at night, Marnie would've noticed that something was wrong with her cows. I have to build my own cowshed as soon as possible and raise my own cows. "
Thinking about the pile of things waiting for her to do, Irin started to have a headache again.
He had really worked too hard in this trial.
Thinking about it, there seemed to be endless work. Irin did some simple calculations from time to time. It seemed to be difficult to earn thirty million in assets within three years.
"Why don't I just kill three?"
Irin could not help but have this thought.
There were four other farmers in the Nong Po Valley.
Irin basically met them by chance.
Qian Duoduo was a spiritual-type with an unknown ability. She seemed to be good at management.
Bai Runding was a fair-skinned female apostle. Looking at the way she walked, she seemed to be an agility-type with an unknown ability.
Yan Cao was a strength-type with well-developed muscles and a passion for mining. His farm was a stretch of barren land.
Wang Gebi was an apostle with a feminine appearance. Irin accidentally discovered that he seemed to be keen on gaining favorability in Gugu Town. He was quite close to Penny, Caroline, Emily, Jody, and other young women in the town. Irin did not know what his intentions were.
Everyone had a different focus on this trial.
Originally, everyone's choices in the trial were colorful.
Just like Irin, who liked to bring the three female spirits to protect his liver for leisure and farm for entertainment.
As for the others …
Some liked to mine.
Some liked to fish.
Some liked to gain favorability with the residents.
Some liked to farm.
But in general, it did not seem difficult to kill them.
It was just a matter of one shot.
If one shot did not work, then two shots.
But in the current situation, the five apostles who descended in Gugu Town were all busy with their own work. They did not have the time to have conflicts between apostles.
To be honest, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Irin was a little embarrassed to make a move. He felt that if he took the initiative to attack, it would be like bullying children.
If someone came to provoke him … Forget it, Irin did not want to think about such cruel things.
Irin passed by Old Lu's house.
Old Lu was watering the flowers in the yard.
He looked sad.
Right, speaking of which, he had not found the time to do the "side mission" that Old Lu secretly gave him.
…
[Mayor Lu Yisi can't find his "lucky purple shorts". Please secretly return it to him after you find it …]
[Hidden side mission: Find Lu Yisi's "lucky purple shorts". Reward: Unknown. PS: Please do not alert anyone!]
…
Irin had accepted this mission for quite some time.
But he had been busy with farm work, fishing, mining, cooking, exploring, and giving gifts. He really did not have time to help Old Lu find shorts.
Actually, this mission was too simple.
Old Lu, Old Lu, you're already so old. Don't you know where the shorts you took off are?
Shaking his head, Irin came to the entrance of Marnie's farm.
