Chapter 44 The Sacred Body of Agriculture She subconsciously said, "Ah, I just planted them randomly..."

In the second month after the clinic was established, Wen Yu finally heard the system's voice.

[Congratulations, host, the side objective has been completed.]

The system had been quiet for a while, and Wen Yu had almost forgotten about this task.

It took Wen Yu quite a while to remember what this side quest was.

It seems that... "at least three people have reached the elementary teaching level."

She originally hoped that Wen Qingshi and a few other children who learned quickly would reach the standard first, but the establishment of the clinic made the task complete ahead of schedule.

During this period, the clinic indeed cultivated a group of solid students. They memorized acupoints, understood the properties of herbs, and were full of enthusiasm for learning.

To practice acupuncture techniques, they even practiced on each other without ever complaining of the hardship or fatigue.

The clinic's reputation spread throughout the city.

Some time ago, several women from prominent families fell ill but had no good doctors. Hearing that Luxi Medical Clinic had excellent medical skills, they came here specifically to seek treatment, and sure enough, the medicine cured their illnesses.

After returning home, he praised Luxi Medical Clinic to his acquaintances for its miraculous healing skills, and now the clinic is well-known far and wide.

The pedantic scholars in the city schools were even more furious when they heard about this, jumping up and down and shouting: "Outrageous! A woman showing her face in public to practice medicine is simply improper!"

But most people think this is a good thing.

Some people mocked her to her face: "If a woman can win the championship, why can't she practice medicine? The capable should be superior. Those who nitpick about gender are truly incompetent."

The pedantic scholar rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Wen Yu couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it. Someone from the village had just gone to the city to buy things and witnessed everything. When he came back, he vividly recounted the whole thing to the village.

Everyone laughed so hard they were doubled over.

In Luxi Village, no one dared to look down on women.

The village was already sparsely populated, with the remaining people being the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled. Now, a group of young women have poured in. They are diligent in farming, hardworking in their studies, and skilled and compassionate in treating illnesses, making the whole village prosperous. Who dares to say they are useless?

"Now that the mission is complete, is there any reward?" Wen Yu asked.

In any case, it's always good to ask for some reward.

[Does the host still remember your space?] The system replied, [The reward for this mission is to upgrade the host's space and add planting permissions.]

Wen Yu's eyes lit up.

She always felt that her space was somewhat useless, since taking things out of thin air was too conspicuous, and she didn't need a warehouse all the time.

The ability to upgrade to include planting functionality is truly a way to turn waste into treasure!

"Is it the kind of spiritual field space where the weather is like spring all year round and the weather is favorable?" Wen Yu quickly asked.

The host can plant crops according to their needs, and the space will automatically adjust to suitable conditions to facilitate crop growth.

It can even change automatically, is that high-tech?

This is even better than I imagined!

Wen Yu immediately realized that she could secretly plant crops that were out of season or not adapted to the local soil and water!

The recent rewards have been so good that she's getting a little cocky.

However, the host also needs to prepare to accept new main quests.

[Task Requirements: Achieve 300,000 viewers in the modern live stream, a positive review rate exceeding 50%, and gain a certain level of reputation in the ancient world.]

[Quest Reward: Permanently hire a high-level NPC for free.]

really.

Give them a sweet treat and they'll slap them.

Wen Yu sighed helplessly, pulled up the data and glanced at it. The current number of people watching the live stream every hour had reached 200,000, with a positive review rate of 46%.

It's a good number, but there's still a gap.

Having done live streaming for so long, Wen Yu had long understood that although there were many viewers in the live stream, she needed some events to provoke them into willingly giving her a "good review".

The establishment of the clinic did indeed lead to an increase in positive reviews, but a new opportunity is needed to take it to the next level.

As for "Ancient Reputation," it's a new concept that hasn't appeared in previous missions, so Wen Yu is a bit unsure of what to do.

She couldn't help but ask the system, "How exactly do I increase this reputation?"

The system, however, kept everyone in suspense: "The host need not deliberately pursue it; just let it happen naturally."

Wen Yu stopped thinking about it; she was never one to worry excessively about things that hadn't happened yet.

She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll trust you one more time."

----

As the weather gets colder and winter approaches, Luxi Village is welcoming its second bumper harvest.

Apart from wheat and broad beans, which have a longer growing period and are still growing in the ground, other vegetables have gradually begun to bear fruit.

The village's reputation for abundant produce had already spread far and wide, attracting a constant stream of merchants to come and purchase goods.

Having learned from their previous experience, the villagers are now adept at negotiating prices with merchants, and it's expected that their wallets will be even fuller after this harvest.

This time, Wen Yu did not plan to sell the crops. She wanted to keep them all and store them in the system as currency.

She glanced at the job market again and realized that her savings from this job search would be enough to hire a high-level NPC for about three months.

Let's save it for now; we'll need it someday.

Since it was harvest time, the whole family naturally had to pitch in. No one in Wen Yu's family could stay idle; they all put down their books and followed Wen Yu to the fields to harvest.

Although the boys usually buried themselves in their books, they were just as capable as the others when it came to farm work.

Some of them rushed to help Wen Yu with the work, while others went to help the elderly villagers in the vicinity harvest. Although they were busy, they did not show any signs of fatigue.

Looking at the land before him, Wen Yu realized that it was indeed a place blessed by the gods. The vegetables were growing exceptionally well, not only maturing much faster than usual but also producing a large yield, as if the land had been blessed by the gods.

For some reason, Wen Yu felt that the comments on the screen were particularly exciting today.

[They actually managed to grow so many?! My goodness, that's incredibly productive!]

My family has been farming for decades, and even at our best, our harvest was about the same as theirs, which is just average...

【My God! Wen Yu, are you a goddess of farming?】

A long-absent, clear-headed individual has reappeared: [Don't overhype it, it's just for the show.]

Immediately, netizens commented: "[What you're saying doesn't make sense. We can see Wen Yu farming every day clearly. If it were just for the show, it would definitely be exposed, right? This is a live broadcast!]"

[Exactly! I think it's true. And if she has such great abilities to buy such high-quality fertilizer and seeds, that's definitely her skill!]

[It's beautiful and I love watching it! What's the point of watching if it can't grow anything? I want this one!]

The number of viewers was slowly increasing, but the approval rating remained stagnant.

You can't rush things.

Just as Wen Yu was about to go back to work, a comment on the screen suddenly caught her attention.

[Agronomy Institute V: Ms. Wen, where did you purchase your high-yield crop seeds?]

?

Wen Yu fell into deep thought.

The seeds were just an ordinary thing she bought from the system's shop.

The reason it grows so well isn't because of the seeds, but because of the system's buff.

But she couldn't reveal the existence of the system...

[My God? A real agricultural research institute?]

[It's verified, so it must be an official account. Let's take a picture!]

Don't you guys know where this seed came from? I thought you were collaborating...

[Seeking answers from Wen Yu!]

The live chat exploded with comments.

Just then, Fan Yizhen came over to rest after finishing her work. Wiping away her sweat, she exclaimed, "Sister Wen, our vegetables are growing so well! How do you usually grow them?"

Wen Yu's mind went completely blank for a moment.

She blurted out instinctively, "Oh, I just planted them randomly."

----

That day, several new terms inexplicably appeared on the trending topics list.

#Wen Yu, agricultural genius

#Planting warm jade casually

#Institute of Agronomy: Are you kidding me?

Comment: "Before the term 'evil cultivator' was coined, we all called Wen Yu a genius!"

"Now I've seen what a 'naturally gifted farming physique' really means. I feel like she could become a farming cultivator in a cultivation novel, hahaha!"

"Wen Yu's masterpiece: 'Planting Randomly'".

"Please, Wen Yu, just tell me! My grandma and grandpa have been hitting me with slippers all day, they insist I find out how you just casually grew it..."

"Damn it, I just can't grow them! Why are all my vegetables dying? Are they avoiding me or something...?"

"Upstairs, you might have a naturally occurring 'Hundred Herbs Elixir Saint Body'."

Agent Chen Xiayun didn't expect this to cause such a stir, so she quickly sponsored several agricultural projects in Wen Yu's name to boost her reputation.

After everything was over, she looked at the live stream and then at the green plant next to her computer that she had almost killed, and suddenly a somewhat absurd idea came to her.

When Wen Yu comes back... should she ask Wen Yu for advice on how to farm?

In the agricultural institute on the other side, the researchers sat in a circle, staring at each other in disbelief at the images on the projection screen.

Xiao Li finally felt triumphant: "Look! The jade is real! I told you, I've looked at it for so long and done the calculations, it couldn't possibly be fake..."

The others had nothing to say.

Having witnessed the entire planting and harvesting process, they had long since confirmed that it was all real.

"But I also observed her farming process. She didn't use any special methods; it was all the simplest kind of work." An elderly researcher was utterly perplexed. "How could she possibly grow such a high-yield crop?"

"This..." Xiao Li couldn't say anything either.

Actually, she couldn't figure out what magical method Wen Yu had.

Finally, the director made the decision: "Let's also form a team and try her method!"

They didn't believe there wasn't a special reason behind this; Wen Yu must have some secret he didn't want to reveal to everyone.

However, when the researchers first entered the live broadcast room, they thought Wen Yu was just following the trend.

After all, they had watched those farming variety shows that were all the rage online. Everything in them was incredibly fake and obviously staged, but they still had many fans who adored and idolized them.

I didn't expect to find out from the chat in the live stream that Wen Yu was the pioneer of farming live streams, even earlier than those variety shows.

Moreover, her daily life is incredibly realistic, and it's so captivating that the researchers gradually changed their opinions as they watched.

She seems to genuinely enjoy live streaming.

And... I like farming.

"It's rare to see young people these days with such pure passion," the director sighed, then left with his hands behind his back.

Perhaps, passion is her answer.
