Ange cheerfully gathered all the crops. This was his first large-scale harvest since leaving the Resting Camp.
As he harvested, Ange noticed a few problems. First, the soil was compacted and seemed to have lost much of its fertility.
Second, water conservation. In these three hours, he actually didn’t stop watering, but compared to a whole growing season, the amount of water he used was probably less than one-fiftieth of before.
Presumably, the accelerated growth time allowed the water to be fully utilized, resulting in less natural evaporation.
Third, pollination was not well achieved. The growing period was only a short three hours, and the flowering period might have been less than ten minutes. Using Pollination Technique during this brief flowering period resulted in a shockingly low success rate, with at least twenty percent of the plants failing to be pollinated properly.
Fourth, the length of the produced grains increased a lot. Previously a grain might only have been five or six millimeters, but now it was about twenty millimeters, four times longer, like small wooden sticks.
This, along with the twenty percent failed pollination, resulted in a yield per acre that was actually three times higher than before.
All in all, the effects of the Instant Death Halo were phenomenal. The problem of compacted soil losing its fertility could be solved by the Crop Rotation Method. With three thousand acres of farmland in the farm, planting three hundred acres at a time could allow for nine rotations.
If that still didn’t work, other crops could be rotated in, or fertilizer could be added. If all else fails, there was still….
After quickly planting the three thousand acres in the Resting Camp, Ange brought all the seeds and buckets outside.
Outside the Sky Pit, there was an endless wasteland. Just after the Resting Wind had finished blowing, Ange could not wait to run out there. He spread the seeds from the bag, which were evenly distributed by the disturbance of the tornado.
Under normal circumstances, Ange would dig ditches, build ridges, bury bone meal and wood ash, sow seeds, cover the soil, and for some crops with long growing cycles, he would even pre-sprout the seeds or cover them with straw for warmth.
But now, in front of him was an endless flat wasteland, untouched for over a thousand years, incredibly fertile.
With the accelerated growing time, there was no need to cover the soil. The roots could penetrate deep, the stems could stand firm, and without any wind during the day, the crops wouldn’t lodge.
One person up high in the air, Nage held a bag with holes in it and flew forward, seeds falling from the bag as he flew and creating a path of seeds.
“Why should I sow seeds for you? Show some respect for me, I am the God of Knowledge, not the God of Farming.” Nage grumbled while flying.
On the other hand, the angel skeleton carried the bag and flew around quietly, not a single word of complaint. Occasionally when Ange looked over, it would pat the bag, indicating it was diligently doing its job.
The Little Zombie however was busy digging large holes. With block remover in hand and dual shovels fastened on its legs, it rapidly shoveled large masses of soil out from between its legs.
After seeding, Ange started watering. Ever since his purification technique leveled up, his other types of magic have also been enhanced.
Now he can use first-level magic power to cast purification, Face Purification
Technique, and Rain Technique, reaching third-level effects. Even Burn Wasteland, Pollination Technique, and ground loosening could reach second-level effects, but the magic power used was still first-level.
About this issue, Nage responded: “What’s so strange about that, it’s just an improvement in proficiency. During the casting of spells, the magic power is optimized, achieving the best effect. All genius wizards can do this.”
After saying that, it mumbled grumpily: “It’s just you who can manage to stack up sheer quantity, tsk.”
The proficient Rain Technique evolved Ange’s garden watering into a water jet, making the ground thoroughly soaked.
On the thoroughly moistened ground, seeds either lay on the surface or were half covered by soil. After scattering the seeds on the ground, Ange stomped heavily on the earth spreading the seeds, and in an instant, all life was sped up.
Lightning stayed far away. Among all of Ange’s companions, only it was still alive. As soon as it heard the words “Instant Death Halo”, it immediately distanced itself as much as possible.
From its distance, the miraculous transformation could be seen even more clearly.
A large area of the soil sprouted green buds, like a meadow. The sprouts became more robust, the stalks more erect, adding a touch of green to the grayish world.
As creatures close to nature, unicorns naturally felt uncomfortable staying in this world for long, so usually it would hide in the Sky Pit, secretly nibbling beet leaves with the Minotaur’s family.
This miraculous change, however, had the greatest impact on the unicorn.
The entire growth process lasted for three hours, and Ange was kept extremely busy, especially during pollination, where no one else could help.
He used the Pollination Technique to draw pollen into the air, then left it to fall naturally, it sticking wherever it landed. Large amounts of powdery substances cloaked the airspace above the crops. If anyone with pollen allergies were to stand in the field, they would certainly be choked to death.
Despite this, Ange felt overwhelmed. After all, the flowering period was too short. For the first time, he felt his magical power could not recover fast enough. After all, he was casting spells at a speed of three per second now, like a woodpecker, so fast that it made Nage couldn’t bear to watch: it was too devastating.
As the crops ripened and turned yellow, the ears of grain drooping heavily,
Ange stopped the halo and started running in the fields with the Scythe of Death in tow..
