After a busy half-day, the two finally worked together to plant all the seedlings.
Exhausted and covered in sweat, Akemi contentedly lay down on the floor with Yuzuru Nanami, arms outstretched.
"So beautiful!"
Akemi's eyes sparkled as she looked on with delight at how the living room had been transformed into a beautiful scene resembling a summer field.
Beneath the blazing sun, a few pristine white clouds drifted lazily, their lightness and ethereal grace captivating the eye.
In the paddy field that the two had painstakingly cultivated, the seedlings swayed gently in the breeze, as if they were performing a graceful dance.
In the very middle of the paddy field, a small scarecrow was planted, creating gentle ripples on the green sea.
Even the air is filled with the fresh fragrance of the rice seedlings and the unique scent of the soil, giving people a deep sense of simplicity and tranquility.
Time seemed to slow down here, everything was so pleasant and peaceful, filling one's heart with tranquility and peace.
"Yes, even Akemi looks like a little kitten now!"
Yuzuru lay leisurely on the floor, propping his head up with one hand, looking at Akemi, whose face was covered in mud, with a smile and a teasing tone.
"Haha, the same goes for Master Yuzuru."
Akemi playfully rubbed her face a couple of times and noticed that Yuzuru's face was also covered with mud splattered on it during their earlier playful fight. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After the two joked and teased each other for a while, Akemi looked at the vibrant seedlings in front of her and asked softly, "Young Master Yuzuru, is this all there is to it?"
"No, that's not true. This is just the beginning. The real hard work is yet to come."
Yuzuru stretched and sat up from the ground. Since it was an entertainment-type agricultural prop set, there would definitely be various small difficulties to increase its playability.
Next, Hanyu Nan and Akemi encountered a series of problems, including scorching sun, torrential rain, typhoons, and locust plagues.
The two of them worked hard all night through various difficulties, and finally, at dawn, the rice seedlings gradually turned from a vibrant green to a mature yellow, bearing heavy ears of rice.
"We did it, Master Yuzuru!"
Mingmei looked excitedly at each ear of rice in front of her; those full ears of rice seemed to be telling the story of the hard work and effort the two of them had put in that night.
Her face involuntarily revealed the joy that came from the harvest, a sense of satisfaction that could not be easily described in words.
“Yes, it wasn’t in vain. We worked hard all night, and now it’s harvest time.” With a thought, Yu Shengnan slowly flew the seed removal machine in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, Hanyu Nan and Akemi each picked up a sickle, then smiled at each other and began to harvest the sweet fruit of their hard work.
Thump thump thump thump... Rumble...
As Yu Shengnan vigorously turned the crank handle on the seed threshing machine, which resembled a tractor engine, the machine immediately emitted a loud rumbling sound. Amidst this sound, the spirit rice ears that he and Mingmei had just harvested were automatically threshed into crystal-clear grains of spirit rice.
"Is there a war?"
Ai, who was sleeping soundly upstairs, was suddenly awakened by the loud noise of the machine starting up downstairs.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes in confusion, Ai sat up and glanced at the time on the bedside table.
"It's only 6:30! What are they doing?"
Ai stared at the time in shock, her heart filled with resentment. She was just a child, and at her age, she needed plenty of sleep!
"Is that the sound from downstairs?" After confirming the source of the sound, Ai, still in her pajamas, gently pushed open the door and went out.
Just as she reached the top of the stairs, Ai was suddenly blinded by an unusually bright light.
After taking a moment to adjust, she looked downstairs.
With just that one glance, Ai froze on the spot.
Sister and Yuzuru, what have you two been doing behind my back?!
Downstairs, the older sister was all smiles as she happily put bunches of unusual-looking rice ears into a machine, while Yuzuru was vigorously cranking the handle, and the crystal-clear, faintly fragrant grains of rice kept falling out of the machine.
On the ground was a bag that was already filled with spirit rice.
"Ai, you're awake! Come down quickly, young master Yuzuru and I have successfully grown the spirit rice!"
As Akemi was happily scattering rice stalks, she inadvertently looked up and saw her younger sister above her, dressed in pajamas, staring at her and everything with a look of surprise.
With all that noise you've made, how could I not wake up?
Ai shouted in her heart, her face regaining its cool and aloof expression as she walked down.
"Didn't they say that you need spiritual soil to plant it? What's going on?" Ai walked over to Yuusuke's side, looking curiously at the rice stalks still attached to the paper roll in the field, and the small sun shining above his head.
"Ha, it's because..." Yuzuru chuckled, just about to explain to Ai in detail what had happened, when Akemi, who was standing next to her, couldn't wait to tell Ai everything that had happened last night.
"It's because of the props that Master Yuzuru made last night. Master Yuzuru and I worked all night to grow them. Ai, you're so lazy, you slept all night."
"Hehe, you didn't call me last night either!" After listening to her sister's long-winded account of what happened last night, Ai was speechless.
You two did something so fun without telling me, and just played it by yourselves!
That's going too far!
"It weighs 143 jin in total, which is not bad."
After threshing all the spirit rice ears into spirit rice, Yu Shengnan weighed them on the scale at home and nodded in satisfaction.
Under normal circumstances, the yield of rice is about 1,000 jin per mu, and the rice milling rate is about 65%.
His own field, which was about a quarter of an acre, yielded enough rice, including 10 jin of rice ears for seed. The harvest of his spiritual rice was not only enough to feed those around him, but there was also some left over.
Most importantly, planting a round of Lingmi rice only takes about 6 hours to harvest.
All you need to do is recharge the recreational farming item combination with spirit once during each planting round.
It's safe to say that this choice was absolutely the right one.
As for spiritual energy, the Bomber will soon help him harvest a wave.
