Chapter 172 Rapidly Ripening Wheat
Camp has always been a word that Shen Mu has heard quite frequently from the mouths of those followers and creatures in the spiritual world.
What is the lawful camp, what is the chaotic camp, and what is the neutral camp.
It also includes what is good, what is evil, what is absolute neutrality, and so on.
There are nine types in total.
Similar to a combination of superposition.
But they are absolutely opposite to each other.
Shen Mu was not clear about the specific details. After all, he didn't know much about it, and there was no such setting in the Mount and Blade system.
But if you think about it carefully, you can understand that this must be the mysterious fantasy side crystal wall system, an absolute pillar-level rule force that maintains its operation.
"But what it is specifically is really a bit profound." Shen Mu also shook his head at this time and did not continue to think too much about it, because even for him, if he thought about it carefully now, he was still a little confused about the specific details.
It seems easy to arrange and combine these nine types of artistic conception, but there are many differences in the details.
Similar to the simplest lawful good and lawful evil.
and lawful neutral.
They all seem to be divisions within the lawful camp and can all be classified into one category.
But just like what Elder Pero once said, those human kingdoms and empires, as well as the human knight duchies, seem to be mostly in the lawful camp, but according to the gods they believe in, they are also divided into good, evil, and neutral, and they will also go to war with each other.
Some are even brutal and bloody battles comparable to those between the lawful evil camp's hell devils and the chaotic evil camp's abyss demons.
Even a dog's brain can be beaten out.
So how are the various camps divided and how do they get along with each other? Even in some powerful human empires, lawful good and lawful evil can actually coexist harmoniously.
Certain specificities have been added to these factions.
At least it seemed quite troublesome to Shen Mu.
Moreover, it is quite unreliable to simply distinguish between friends and enemies based on divisions such as camps.
"The secrets of the spiritual world need to be further explored." Shen Mu now also felt a special kind of fatigue.
After all, the mysterious spiritual world does have many secrets.
Of course, Shen Mu will have plenty of time to dig into these secrets in the future. For him, the most important thing is now.
Or how to improve your own strength!
After lunch, Shen Mu did not stay in the noble mansion. Instead, he prepared to set off again and planned to take a look at the wheat fields outside the town area.
Because he also needs to use the power of faith to speed up the growth of the wheat in the fields.
After all, this is about one’s own food security.
"As for the others, go back and rest first, and then Manide can come with me alone." Shen Mu also made arrangements.
After all, the next task is just to verify the power of faith and how to speed up the growth of wheat in the fields.
Fatis and Bandak, as well as Bestul and Resarit, are all military generals, so there is no need for them to continue following this matter.
As a doctor, James is still in the Torch Tower of the Holy White Council, learning how to use spells from the Aidengard believers. There is no need for him to continue to get involved in these people's livelihood matters.
Just let Manid, the businessman, follow.
"You mean, you can use special powers to speed up the growth of these wheats?" Manid's face was quite surprised.
Especially when he followed Shen Mu to the outside of the city gate, after hearing Shen Mu introduce his abilities to him, the surprise on his face felt a little absurd.
Yes.
absurd.
After all, he is a general from a fictional historical Mount and Blade world.
Although I have seen some supernatural powers since I came to this world, including creatures in myths and legends, as well as terrifying undead monsters.
I have already understood that this world is somewhat related to the myths and legends I have heard in the continent of Calradia.
It is even related to the legendary gods.
But even after knowing this information, Manide heard Shen Mu say that he could speed up the growth of wheat, not just wheat, but also other crops.
I still find it a little bit unbelievable in my heart, and it still feels a little ridiculous.
"Yes, that's right, Manide, this is indeed one of my abilities." Shen Mu was walking in front. Although he didn't turn his head, he could already guess the extremely shocked expression on Manide's face.
A smile appeared on her lips.
Shen Mu also said: "I don't think you should be so surprised by this. After all, you have seen how those buildings were built quickly in a short period of time."
What Shen Mu was talking about was the time before when he used the power of faith to speed up the construction of a building.
In fact, they are essentially the same.
Since the flow of time can be accelerated through the power of faith, the construction time of various buildings can be shortened and buildings can be built faster.
Now he can speed up the flow of time again, allowing those crops that were originally just seeds to germinate quickly, then break through the soil, grow, and finally mature, allowing Shen Mu to get a good harvest.
The principles are the same.
After Shen Mu's explanation, Manide's mentality gradually calmed down.
of course.
At this time, Manide's eyes looking at Shen Mu were even more sharp, and there was even more absolute respect and admiration in his eyes.
After all, as a businessman, he is exposed to many matters related to people's livelihood. Therefore, he is absolutely shocked from the bottom of his heart about the ability to quickly accelerate the growth of plants and make crops mature quickly.
And for Manid, there is also a concept deep in his heart.
This is something only gods can do!
"Master Shen Mu, you are not only a legendary figure, not only a savior, but also the incarnation of a certain god?"
This was a thought that came into Manid's mind at this moment.
And this idea became stronger and stronger in his heart, even filling his heart, his mind and his thoughts.
"Master Shen Mu..."
“It’s the gods!”
Manid thought so.
Almost instantly, a dialog box suddenly appeared on Shen Mu's retina.
[Ding! Your Mount and Blade general 'Manide' has opened his heart to you! And your image has been completely established in his mind! You can use the 'Secret Book Gift (Special Mind Skill)' to bless him and give him the corresponding skills! ]
[After testing, the 'Nature Summoning Skills' you currently possess can barely grant it. The Nature Summoning Skill is 'Bee Swarm Harassment'. ]
[Tip: Using the Secret Book Gift will consume 10000 points of Faith.]
[Tip: After you choose to grant a skill, each time the subordinate releases a skill, 100 points of faith will be consumed. And the skill can only be released successfully in your territory or by your side.]
"Huh!?" Shen Mu was slightly stunned at this time.
He turned his head and looked at Manid who was following him.
Although he also saw the extremely respectful look on Manide's face, he did not expect such a pleasant surprise.
"Confirm the gift!" Shen Mu did not hesitate at all at this time. He immediately decided to use the natural summoning skill of harassing his own bee swarm once and bestowed it on Manide.
[Ding! You consumed 1 points of Faith, used the Secret Book Gift skill, and successfully gifted the Nature Summoning Skill Bee Swarm Harassment to your Mount and Blade General Manide.]
[Tip: Your Mount and Blade General Manide has now learned how to use this special nature-based summoning skill, Bee Swarm Harassment. He also understands how to summon killer bees from the spirit world to harass the enemy.]
[Tip: Your Mount and Blade general Manide's current bee swarm harassment skill is level 1. At the same time, because it is not affected by divine power enhancement and upgrade points, the bee swarm harassment released by this general is a regular bee swarm harassment skill. ]
Then, a new dialog box popped up again on Shen Mu’s retina.
It is an explanation of his tips and skills.
And just after Shen Mu confirmed it, a stream of white data surged out from between his eyebrows, and instantly reached the eyebrows of Manide who was following behind him, and directly sank into it.
'Om! '
At the same time, tiny emerald green light spots appeared and just entered the depths of Manide's mind between his eyebrows.
Manide, whose face was already quite serious, seemed to have sensed something and subconsciously stood there for more than ten seconds before he recovered.
But at this time, Manide looked at Shen Mu.
Hands trembling.
No, it should be said that my whole body was shaking.
"This power... this power is..." At this moment, Manid was really excited, and his mind was completely filled with ecstasy.
Especially when looking at Shen Mu, the reverence and excitement in his eyes, and the fanatical emotion.
It was like a generator, making his eyes sparkle!
Because Manid was really quite excited.
Especially when he communicated with that mysterious thing in his mind that he could reach out and release a swarm of killer bees from the spirit world at any time.
This use of supernatural powers made him unable to control himself!
This is extraordinary power.
Now that he has easily obtained the right to use this power, and through the exploration of this extraordinary power, Manide can determine that the source of this extraordinary power is Lord Shen Mu, whom he respects and admires!
It was Shen Muen who bestowed upon him the extraordinary power to summon these killer bees from the spiritual world!
"Relax, Manide, this is just the beginning." Shen Mu said with a smile on his face: "This is indeed your first extraordinary power, but it is not your last extraordinary power."
"Yes, Lord Shen Mu, I am very grateful for your gift." At this time, Manide quickly calmed down his emotions, and at the same time bowed respectfully to Shen Mu.
Although he still put his hands on his chest and bowed.
But this represents Manide's heartfelt respect.
In other words, in addition to the extremely loyal trait that he was originally endowed with by the Mount and Blade system, Manid, who has become a complete living individual, once again expressed his heartfelt respect for Shen Mu.
This is very unusual.
"Let's go." Shen Mu stepped forward at this time, looking at the lush wheat fields that had already grown seedlings in front of him. The smile on his lips showed that he was in a happier mood: "Next, we have these wheat fields, which can make us even happier."
"Of course." Manid nodded.
At this time, Manide didn't know how to answer Shen Mu. His mind was blank. He was full of admiration and could only obey Shen Mu completely. Just like what he said just now.
Before, Manide was under the tough demands of the Mount and Blade system, so he pledged allegiance to Shen Mu.
It is something similar to justice, a subconscious thought, a kind of trust that is born from the world, system and rules of Mount & Blade, just like the natural trust of a young animal in its mother.
So now.
After I grew up, I gained the respect of the Mount & Blade system, Mount & Blade rules, Mount & Blade world, and individual players of Mount & Blade.
In addition, Shen Mu did bring him scenes that were like miracles time and time again.
Then it was placed in front of him, and it gave him the ability to possess extraordinary powers.
How could Manide not begin to admire Shen Mu from the bottom of his heart?
So that's why he obeys orders now.
Of course, Shen Mu didn't care about Manide's inner fluctuations. He was more concerned about how the power of his faith could make the wheat grow quickly.
After all, for Shen Mu, these Mount & Blade exchanges from the Mount & Blade world themselves are loyal to him.
As long as the emotions are cultivated a little, they will turn into an extremely fanatical state.
For example, Ailen, and Manid in front of us.
It was all because of my encouragement with words and my usual respect for him that they established trust and tacit understanding, and eventually they developed the skill of opening their hearts to me and granting me the secret gift, which was a good feedback that further deepened the trust between both parties.
Moreover, with this good feedback, he can also bestow all the skills he possesses on these Mount and Blade Descendants, allowing them to also gain the ability to use these skills, which is indeed quite good.
"Let's choose this acre of wheat field outside the east gate and see how to speed up the growth."
Shen Mu stopped at this time.
Right in front of him, an acre of wheat field was lush and green, swaying gently in the breeze, as if the wheat seedlings were greeting him.
At the same time, the air was filled with a fresh smell coming from the soil and wheat seedlings, which made him feel very happy.
"Then let's start." Shen Mu's eyes flickered.
Thoughts communicate systems.
At the same time, he also activated the ability to accelerate time that he had gained after absorbing the rules of hell.
Nature's gift of food!
'Om! '
As Shen Mu confirmed it, a mysterious power instantly appeared between his eyebrows.
Then, an aura of some regular level began to spread.
There was even a feeling as if special permissions were activated, which spread directly along with the aura of the rules, and completely controlled the Mount and Blade rules in the area around Dehrim.
"This feeling seems to be that I can manipulate the time rules in the area where Dehrim is."
This thought suddenly emerged in Shen Mu's mind.
But this thought only lasted a moment.
Then a dialog box appeared in front of his eyes, and the content after activating this ability began to appear in the dialog box.
[Ding! You used the special rule power 'Nature's Food Gift'. ]
[You can spend 100 points of faith to speed up the time flow of crops in 1 acre of field by 1 day. ]
"Then speed up the flow of time in this acre of wheat field in front of us!" Shen Mu did not hesitate at all, because he already knew how to use this ability before.
Then the mind communicates the system again.
The dialog box refreshes immediately.
New content appears again on the dialog box.
[You have consumed 100 points of faith and accelerated the time flow of this wheat field by 1 day. Time has become faster, and this wheat field has also undergone some subtle changes. ]
'Om! '
Almost at the moment when the dialog box appeared, a stream of data poured out directly between Shen Mu's eyebrows.
Then it turned into a white light, covering the one acre of wheat field in front of Shen Mu.
In almost the blink of an eye, the white light disappeared.
At the same time, there seemed to be a special breeze blowing in front of Shen Mu's eyes. The wheat seedlings in front of him swayed with the breeze and actually grew a little bit.
"Something seems to have happened here." Just behind Shen Mu, Manide murmured to himself subconsciously.
He also keenly discovered something just now.
Especially when he looked at the breeze blowing by just now, he subconsciously took two steps forward and squatted at the edge of the wheat field.
He frowned and looked at the wheat fields in front of him. There seemed to be no change in the wheat seedlings.
Pursing his lips, he said softly, "These wheat seedlings seem to have grown a little bit. Although it doesn't look obvious, I usually walk among the farmlands, so I have a deeper understanding of the growth of these crops."
"Yes, these wheat seedlings have indeed grown a little." Shen Mu's lips curled up slightly, and he nodded: "It's indeed not very obvious."
After all, it only grew for one day.
He just sped up the flow of time in a day.
It really doesn't look that obvious. After all, no matter how long the wheat seedlings grow, it will take about three months for them to fully mature. One day is really a drop in the bucket for the wheat seedlings.
However, this is just a drop in the bucket because there is not enough time. Over time, the wheat seedlings will surely mature slowly and fully.
And the ability that Shen Mu possesses now is to quickly condense all the accumulated knowledge into just 10 seconds.
"Nature's gift of food, activated again!"
Shen Mu didn't hesitate at all.
He once again communicated his thoughts to the system and activated this special ability.
And this time it's not about speeding up the growth time by one day.
Instead, it speeds up the flow of time by 10 days.
'Om! '
A white data stream flowed out from between Shen Mu's eyebrows, and it was mixed with special small light spots that were obviously emitting a subtle green glow.
It landed directly in front of him, in the middle of the acre of planned wheat field.
Then this time there was a change, which was much more obvious.
'Om! '
Wait for the white light to dissipate.
At this time, the wheat seedlings that had just sprouted out of the soil had obviously grown one or two centimeters taller, and had sharper leaves.
Although it still looks lush and fresh.
But it is also obvious that he has grown up a bit.
This is growth.
Wheat seedlings 10 days of growth.
"Sure enough, the changes this time are really huge." Manide also showed surprise in his eyes as he looked at the more lush wheat seedlings that appeared in this acre of wheat field.
I couldn't help but swallow my saliva: "This seems to be the state of wheat seedlings that will appear after a week or two."
He noticed the growth status of these small seedlings.
"That's right. This increases the speed of time by about 10 days." Shen Mu was looking at the 1000 points of faith that disappeared, without much heartache on his face.
The amount of faith he has now is quite large. After all, if added up, it is more than 1 points.
And there are more faith points stored in the handle of the dragon flag fragment placed in the bedroom of his noble mansion.
So he doesn't care at all that these beliefs are worth consuming.
So with a smile on his face, he communicated with the system again: "What if I increase the time flow rate by about 30 days this time?"
Then, right in front of Shen Mu's eyes, the data stream surged out again.
'Om! '
But this time, there were more green spots in the white data stream.
At the same time, a cool feeling began to spread from the beating heart in Shen Mu's chest, as if the power of natural pan-consciousness was spreading in his heart and helping him.
In other words, it helps the crops in nature to grow more healthily at a faster pace.
'Om! '
Then Shen Mu and Manide watched helplessly as the green wheat seedlings, which were originally the size of finger joints, began to grow swaying at a speed of one second at a time, driven by the white data stream and green light spots.
And within 30 seconds, it grew to more than 30 centimeters in height and grew many thick branches and leaves.
And it grows very strong.
It is as if young children are raising their heads to absorb the heat released by the sun in the sky.
It works hard to promote photosynthesis and is still growing vigorously.
"Oh my God." Manide's face was even more shocked at this time, because he was squatting on the edge of the wheat field, watching the vaccine, which was originally only the size of a little finger, grow directly into a wheat plant as long as an adult's forearm.
As for some wheat plants that were developing better, he could see the ears of wheat that had already begun to emerge at the top.
"This wheat is definitely more than a month old, and it is about to ear and be pollinated. After pollination, it will produce wheat grains in more than a month." Manide's voice was a little trembling.
Because he knew very well that in this short period of less than a minute.
A power that can be described as miraculous is being used by Shen Mu.
