Every type of magic can significantly enhance the enjoyment and results of fishing activities. For instance, Ocean's Heart increases luck while fishing, meaning more treasures will come your way; Attractive reduces the waiting time for fish to bite.
To further strengthen this special Fishing Rod, Yun Yi decided to use Iron Anvil technology to merge the effects of two Fishing Rods into one. Ultimately, he successfully created this dazzling tool in his hand, which combined the powers of Durability, Attractive, and Ocean's Heart.
This configuration not only greatly enhanced its Durability but also accelerated the capturing process and significantly increased the chances of catching rare items. Notably, another feature in this world is the advanced application of magical enhancements. For example, Ocean's Heart can be stacked to a higher Level through Iron Anvil.
If he could capture an Enchanted Book containing Ocean's Heart at the same level or higher again, there would be a chance to further upgrade his existing equipment. Unfortunately, this time he did not acquire any additional Ocean's Heart Enchanted Book. Otherwise, he would have immediately upgraded his fishing gear because the higher the Level of Ocean's Heart, the more precious and rare the catches would be.
After securing his catch, Yun Yi gripped his exquisite fishing tool tightly and prepared to cast his line once more. At that moment, Zhao Niang came running from behind the villa to report: "Immortal Master, our carrots are fully grown!"
Really? A glimmer of surprise flashed in Yun Yi's eyes as he realized that the carrots planted to verify the growth speed of plants in this world had matured in just a few days, completely meeting expectations!
This person was designated to supervise the backyard crop planting area and the livestock breeding zone. Normally, when this individual wanted him to go fishing or relax, he would closely monitor the growth of the crops in the backyard. Once the crops reached maturity, an immediate report was required.
This time, upon receiving the report, Yun Yi promptly replied, "Alright, I’ll head over right now." He then stowed his magical fishing rod into his backpack and set off to the villa's backyard with Zhao Liang.
The total area of the backyard spanned over two thousand square meters, divided into two equally sized sections, each measuring over one thousand square meters—one for planting crops and the other for raising animals. The crop planting area was further subdivided: three over one thousand square meters were dedicated to growing wheat and carrots (each occupying half), while another over one thousand square meters was planted with sugarcane.
Due to the rapid growth rate of sugarcane, which could reach up to one meter in just a day, its theoretical maximum height was three meters. Therefore, he would harvest it just before it peaked and replant it immediately afterward. Currently, it was the season for harvesting carrots.
The carrots in the field bore some resemblance to those in games but also had notable differences. In games, carrots appeared in pixel art style, while those before him showcased high-quality visual effects akin to reality, with lush green leaves that nearly covered the entire ground.
Previous experiments indicated that if harvested by ordinary people, about eight carrots could be collected per square meter; however, if Yun Yi were to do the harvesting himself, the yield would vary and was not fixed. Considering that a single hole was insufficient for maximizing efficiency, Yun Yi promptly instructed Zhao Niang to return to the village and gather some villagers for assistance. Zhao Niang agreed and quickly departed.
While Zhao Niang was gathering help, Yun Yi began inspecting the nearby wheat field. The wheat had grown tall, reaching about waist height, with a slightly deep yellow color. Although not fully ripe yet, it appeared ready for harvest within a day—just a day later than the carrots.
Based on their growth cycles, sugarcane matured every two days, carrots every three days, and wheat every four days. Compared to real-life crops that took months to grow, these crops seemed like miraculous wonders!
As soon as they learned that their assistance was needed by the Immortal Sir, the villagers of Zhao Family Village displayed immense enthusiasm and eagerness. Thus, when Zhao Niang stood outside the villa and shouted for helpers, people quickly gathered.
A total of ten individuals participated in this task, including Yun Yi himself—an ideal number for working on the one hundred ten square meter carrot patch. Just three minutes later, Zhao Niang led fourteen villagers from Zhao Family Village into the villa's backyard.
"Immortal Sir, I have brought the helpers," Zhao Niang reported.
The villagers displayed great respect upon seeing Yun Yi. He performed a traditional bow and greeted, "Hello, Immortal Sir."
Yun Yi smiled and nodded in response. "The task ahead is simple. You just need to help me dig out all the carrots in this field."
The villagers of Zhao Family Village were experts in handling such agricultural tasks. After a brief inspection of the land, they quickly devised an efficient method for harvesting the carrots.
First, they loosened the soil around the carrots by hand. Then, they firmly grasped the tops, gently twisted, and finally pulled them out with care. An orange carrot, covered in dirt, was gently extracted from the ground.
Others followed suit with remarkable speed, averaging one carrot pulled every minute. The yield was consistently eight carrots per cubic meter.
With ten people working together on a plot of one hundred ten square meters, a rough calculation showed that each person only needed to harvest eighty carrots. The work was not tedious at all; just half an hour later, all the carrots in the field had been pulled up, totaling an impressive amount.
Looking at the pile of carrots that resembled a small mountain, Yun Yi revealed a satisfied smile. "You have all worked hard."
He then took out ten freshly cooked fish from his bag, which had been prepared in the Furnace, and presented them to everyone as a reward.
