Xu Ling is indeed a deity; she is the Goddess of Fertility and the Earth Goddess, but that doesn't mean she has any martial arts skills!
Her becoming the Goddess of Fertility was entirely due to a series of unexpected events.
After becoming the Goddess of Fertility, she just lazed around. The Heavenly Court did offer classes to teach newly-formed immortals how to protect themselves when in danger, but Xu Ling didn't attend.
The reason for this was that in her previous life she was a high school senior. Back then, she had just become a deity and had no academic pressure, so Xu Ling was overjoyed.
Therefore, when she was notified to go to class, Xu Ling's rebellious nature kicked in, and she resolutely refused to go!
The Heavenly Court had long since passed the era of constant danger and entered a new society. There was no longer any murder or arson, so it no longer demanded anything. Therefore, Xu Ling did not understand any magic at all.
Of course, aside from the few things she had to learn as part of her job, she knew absolutely nothing!
If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old!
The joy of being a bad student back then is now backfiring on me!
Xu Ling could only laugh and walk past, secretly asking Kaopu if there was anything that could be exchanged for a protective shield or something with points.
Reliable: ? ? ?
"No, you can't even do this?"
Xu Ling's cooking has once again shattered my expectations; it turns out there's no limit to how bad it can get!
What did you learn all those years?
Despite his constant chatter, he still managed to find a solution for Xu Ling.
Data flows past in a blur, demonstrating reliable and fast data retrieval.
"Yes, there are, but the problem is..."
After a quick and reliable pause, he looked at Xu Ling.
At this moment, Xu Ling's eyes sparkled with anticipation: "What's the problem?"
All problems are paper tigers, so they're not a problem!
The reliable one slowly said, "It takes 500 points to redeem a protective shield, and it only lasts for one day."
Xu Ling was dumbfounded. Was this really not robbery? Was this some kind of scam?
The reliable person understood the meaning in her eyes: "I'm not lying to you, this is the price, look!"
The gleaming 500 points in front of me proved that what he said was true.
Xu Ling instantly became dejected.
This is a huge problem!
She was at her wit's end!
It's all because of those days. If she could go back in time, she would definitely study like she did in high school, pricking her thigh with an awl and hanging her head from the rafters, for a hundred years!
"So what do we do now?"
Xu Ling seemed to have had her soul drained, and she was completely devoid of energy.
"There aren't many now, but what about later?"
Reliable tentatively asked, "Would you like to cultivate more land?"
"How many points does a field only have? How long would I have to work to accumulate enough points for a day's worth of protective shield?!"
Xu Ling was extremely resentful. If she had more points, she would start working right now without eating or drinking. But she only had one point, and once she finished planting that field, it would be gone. Wheat could be recycled, but the problem was that it only cost one point. How many hours would she have to work?!
The reliable guy, fearless of death, spoke up again: "Planting wheat earns one point per minute, sixty points per hour, and about 500 points in eight and a half hours."
"This is no different from graduating and going to work! It's actually pretty good. Why don't you give it a try?"
The last question was a somewhat hesitant one.
At this moment, Xu Ling's face was somewhat pale, and with the reliable calculations, the situation was progressing in a direction that was utterly lifeless.
"Stop talking," Xu Ling said weakly. "If you hadn't said anything, I could have just pretended not to know and let it go. But now that you've calculated it like this, I'm not motivated to work on the task anymore."
Without knowing the outcome, she might have actually done it on a whim, and considering that, Xu Ling felt that her life was really miserable.
Ruth looked at Xu Ling, who was in pain, and wanted to comfort her but didn't know how. She wanted to help, but she didn't quite understand what the two of them were talking about. Her intuition told her not to ask what it meant.
So Ruth could only anxiously fly beside Xu Ling, but she was helpless and didn't know how to start a conversation.
Xu Ling couldn't help but sigh; things were just too difficult for her!
The sapling looked left and right, not understanding why Xu Ling looked so bitter and resentful.
Fortunately, it bravely asked, "Lingling, what's troubling you?"
Xu Ling then told it how precious the green starlight it emitted was, how dangerous it would be if it were discovered, and how if it were stolen, it would never see her again.
The sapling remained silent after hearing this, and Xu Ling didn't take it to heart. After all, the sapling was still a child, and she couldn't force it to come up with any good ideas.
Xu Ling fell into deep thought, racking her brains for a solution.
It seems that what the reliable person said isn't unacceptable. No, it's just a 9-to-5 job, right? Okay, that seems alright?
She started to convince herself that it was okay, just like going to work. If she had graduated from university back then, she would already be working. She wasn't afraid!
Just as Xu Ling convinced herself to get started, the sapling spoke again.
"Don't worry, Lingling, Shushu can handle it!"
"ha?"
Xu Ling was full of questions, not knowing how to solve the problem. Moreover, the sapling was still small and had a childish voice. If she were to rely on this, she would feel like she was exploiting child labor.
Xu Ling felt that she was not a heartless landlord from the old society, so she refused.
"It's okay, I can handle it myself."
It's just work, right? She'll give it her all for those few points!
Seeing that she refused, the sapling became anxious: "Lingling, Shushu really has a way! Listen to what Shushu has to say!"
Xu Ling: "Oh?"
Even Kaopu and Ruth looked on with curiosity, wondering what the sapling wanted to say.
"Trees can..."
Suddenly, the sapling stopped speaking; it suddenly didn't know what to say.
Xu Ling and the others listened intently, and after a while, they realized that the sapling had suddenly stopped talking.
Xu Ling couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
The sapling said in a muffled voice, "Shushu doesn't know how to describe it, but Lingling will find out later. Lingling, just wait and see!"
Xu Ling thought that Shu Miao had just spoken impulsively and didn't take it seriously. To save face for the child, she readily agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll wait and see!"
