Martial Arts: Chill! I’m Just A Farmer! - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Re-Entering the Farm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although it was Sunday, Li Wei had no intention of relaxing.

After leaving the cafeteria, he went to the library with Zhang Feng and began to study. Later, he went to the gym to practice his physical skills. He finished all of them and only went back to rest at 11 p.m.

“I’m so tired. You should get some rest.” After washing up, Zhang Feng, who felt sore all over, jumped onto the bed. In less than 5 minutes, he was snoring like thunder. After bidding goodnight, Li Wei returned to his cubicle.

‘I wonder if the crops have sprouted yet.’ The farmland had been on his mind the whole day.

It had been 11 hours since the successful planting. He was not sure if everything was well.

After lying down, Li Wei did as the system instructed and subconsciously called for it to start.

“Entering the farm. The host’s physical body is about to enter hibernation.”

About 10 seconds after the system’s response, Li Wei’s consciousness again sank into the black fog. The same gentle breeze greeted him when he reopened his eyes.

It was still daytime here. The farm was still quiet and peaceful. Stepping on the small path, Li Wei eagerly walked along the edges of the farmland. With just a glance, he discovered a pleasant surprise!

After about 11 hours of waiting, the seeds in the field had completed the initial irrigation. The soil, water, and seeds had achieved their fusion.

“It should be sprouting in five days at the most!” Because of their short growth cycles, carrots were more dependent on fertilizer.

Li Wei had already planned this out. In five days, he would begin applying the first fertilizer. In the next step, he’d figure out how often and where to fertilize based on how fast the plant was growing and how potent the fertilizer was.

After that, Li Wei went to the warehouse and got a watering can so he could start watering the crops. This was done to keep the soil from drying out. Knowing that this sort of crop was sensitive to water scarcity was essential.

This field was his future, so he had to take care of it as carefully as he would a child. However, as soon as he finished watering the plants, he heard the system’s voice in his ear.

“Ding! Completed watering once! Experience points +0.1!”

When Li Wei heard this message, he was stunned for a moment, then his heart filled with joy! Could watering also increase experience points? He quickly called out to the panel to confirm the truth of the matter.

“God-level martial arts farm: Make everything god-level!”

[Level]: 1

[Experience points]: 0.3/100

[Area]: 1 mu

[Crop seeds]: none

[Livestock]: 0

[Farm ability 1]: all the crops produced within the soil can enhance one’s martial arts ability.

[Farm ability 2]: you can use money to buy items from the farm store.

[Farm ability 3]: more functions and ways to improve, requires experience points to unlock and upgrade.

…

As expected! It increased his experience by 1 point!

“Woohoo!” Li Wei was ecstatic.

He had initially assumed that he would have to wait until the crops were fully mature before collecting the experience points. Now, however, it seemed that even in the magical system, the heavens would not mistreat the hardworking!

At this moment, a line of explanation appeared on the panel. He restrained his excitement and began watering the fields.

“Ding! Experience points +0.1!”

“Ding! Experience points +0.1!”

However, after completing all of them, the experience points he gained from watering the plants only went up by 0.3 points.

“What’s going on?”

The system must have heard the host’s doubts, as a line of explanation immediately appeared on the system interface.

“Based on the current system level, watering the plants daily can increase your experience points by three times.”

“To increase the daily limit, please level up your farm.”

“Daily watering experience cooling down: 23:59, 23:58…”

‘There’s a limit, then…’ Li Wei nodded, but he felt it was fair. This farm’s harvest required hard work. Naturally, there would not be any overblown benefits.

However, this was good news for him. He had to water the plants daily, so the extra 0.3 experience points were a free bonus. No matter how small a fly was, it still had meat! He would take it for free!

His body was dormant, so he did not have to worry about his physical strength after waking up. Li Wei rolled his sleeves and started looking for work on the farm. ‘These weeds need to be removed. Otherwise, it will affect the plant’s growth.’

He discovered more weeds in the field and immediately went to the warehouse to find a weeding knife. There was, however, only a tiny rusted knife in the storeroom. Li Wei’s displeasure was evident as he examined the slightly yellowed surface. It is probably only sharp enough to cut butter.

‘This is not usable.’

He called the farm store to see if he could buy a new one with his money. After scrolling through a few pages, he found a few weeding knives. However, the cost…

It was pricey! Even a Level 1 weeding blade would cost a whopping 100 Empire Dollars! He would have only 150 Empire Dollars left.

He was well aware that the system would not play games with him. He would undoubtedly be short of a few notes the following day.

After some consideration, he gritted his teeth and agreed to purchase it. It was an essential item. In addition to the farmland, other grasslands still needed weeding.

Working on a farm in the past had taught him that nature’s laws were always intertwined. If a farm were overgrown with weeds, it would attract many insects. The birds would be drawn to the insects as a result. Then the birds could easily hurt the unripe seedlings in the field.

Therefore, although weeding with a knife was a destructive job, it was done to keep the harvest safe.

“Weeding knife has been successfully purchased! Host, please confirm in the warehouse!”

Soon, a flash of light appeared in the corner of a pile of tools. It wasn’t hard to find something new among all the old tools. Li Wei picked up the blade, and the attribute panel appeared.

[Item name]: weeding knife

[Level]: 1

[Degree of depletion]: 100/100

[Special ability]: none

When Li Wei saw the razor-sharp blade, he swung it in his hand.

“Yeah, it’s quite light.”

Despite the high price tag, Li Wei felt it was worth it. He was the type of person who would never be sorry for his decision. He returned to the farmland with the fresh blade. His serious demeanor returned, and he cleared out the weeds like a devoted farmer once again.
