Chapter 359: S-Grade Hidden Mission
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
At least in Xijiang County, few people dared to fight for the spot as the best farmer with him. County Magistrate Shen was familiar with him and was very confident in his character. Besides, they had worked together once and Ning Fengman was a veteran in planting new grain seeds. Therefore, County Magistrate Shen wasn’t going to take the risk with an unknown stranger.
After Ning Ansheng went home, he conveyed County Magistrate Shen’s thoughts to his father. The two of them hit it off right away. Then, they started to integrate those fields and moved their 100 acres of the best quality land next to the government’s. This time, the Ning Family realized that their fields had long been targeted.
It was a trap. If not for royal fields and County Magistrate Shen and Han Qing, they might not have been able to plant these fields safely.
Thinking about it, County Magistrate Shen might be helping them again. “County Magistrate Shen is a good person. Ansheng, if you are lucky enough to get into the imperial examination in the future, don’t forget his kindness.” Ning Ansheng nodded. “Father, don’t worry. Don’t forget that he’s still my senior brother.”
Under the efforts of many people, the official fields specially used for the new gram seeds were cleaned up majestically. The tenants and officials who came to participate in the farming also fulfilled their duties and were ready to take their positions at any time. His Majesty had decreed that anyone who participated in the planting of the new grain seeds would be given priority to receive the grain seeds next year!
County Magistrate Shen thought that His Majesty was very cunning. His promise made these people willing to pay and work hard. They even kept a close eye on those people who were up to no good and was ready to report them at any time.
Sigh, but at this moment, he finally experienced the joy of the Emperor watching him farm. He got a comfortable chair to the side and enjoyed the spring breeze while dealing with the official documents. It was very relaxing! According to Ning Fengnian, those seeds would be able to take root on the ground when spring arrived in April.
It was a pity that Xiaoxiao was not around. Otherwise, how could he have missed out on the snacks when he was reviewing the official documents?
The person he was thinking about was looking at the space credit balance in confusion: [Baby, say it again. What are my points now?]
The space’s electronic voice sounded twice: [Master, Master, the system has just approved an S-Grade hidden mission-“A grain of millet in the spring harvests 10,000 seeds in the autumn.” As the mission level is too high, it was not approved and rewarded until the planting conditions reached the standard. The current total points are 536,790! The current space level is 32. Master, should we level up?]
What hidden mission was so awesome that it gave him 500,000 as a reward at once?
Xiaoxiao thought about the mission name and reacted: [Is it a rice seed?] Anyway, the mission had been completed, so there was no need to keep the space a secret. [That’s right, that’s right. This time, the new rice seed is going to benefit the people of the world. It’s different from the few acres you planted at home!]
Xiaoxiao understood. At first, she only exchanged for the new rice seeds for her own benefit, so she did not complete the mission. But County Magistrate Shen told the world about the rice seeds. This time, it would benefit the people.
Xiaoxiao smiled. [It’s indeed not wrong to follow Grandpa Yuan.]
Compared to the points she obtained, she was more happy with the implementation of the grain seeds. In the future, those farmers who faced the yellow soil and had their backs to the sky would no longer have the days of “there are no idle fields in the four seas, but farmers will still starve to death”.
[Upgrade!]
The new grain seeds were promoted, and the space jumped to level 37. Their skills also took a qualitative leap. The army led by Rong Yan successfully surrounded the capital of Xiongnu. In addition, there was news from the border city that the provisions and reinforcements from the Imperial Capital were on their way and would arrive in a few days. There was so much good news that it would be unreasonable not to celebrate.
In the past, it was always the Xiongnu who sent troops to attack the borders of Great Xia. Now that the tables had turned, they could also taste the frustration of being attacked.
The second prince was already annoyed by his other brothers’ complaints Back then, no one saw him defeat Great Xia. Now, he had only been surrounded for a while, but it was all his fault for causing trouble?
When he said that he wanted to attack Great Xia to exchange for gold, silver, treasures, food, and beauties, why didn’t anyone stand up to object? They only said that in hindsight!
“Shut up!” The second prince couldn’t take it anymore and slapped the table. “The Great Xia soldiers are only showing off now. In the desert after December even us native Xiongnu people find it difficult to survive, let alone these Great’ Xia people who grew up in good mountains and rivers!”
“We’ll see. Before long, they’ll either freeze to death or starve to death!”
Although he said it in a fit of anger, it made sense.
It was a process of walking from summer to winter from the border city of Great Xia. Especially after December, a snowstorm dyed everything in front of them into a world of ice and snow. The Xiongnu people took the opportunity to pour water on the city wall. After freezing for a night, they became slippery ice blocks that no one could climb up.
A month later, the cold wind was bone-piercing, and it hurt people’s faces. The Xiongnu people did not even use the black water that they had prepared long ago. They were unwilling to let the people of Great Xia feel even a trace of warmth.
After another heavy snow, the second prince was very proud. ‘After so many days, their food must be running out!”
What he said was right. The soldiers of Great Xia were already mentally prepared to scrimp and save for the next period of time. They had even thought of how much sand they had to eat to fill their stomachs without blocking their intestines. However, neither side knew that there was a bug hidden in Great Xia’s camp.
Bug Xiao flipped through the space and counted her points balance. She exchanged for a large group of them from the space without any pressure…
“Prince, look! It’s a desert wolf pack!”
“Hahaha, you deserve it! Let’s see what these Great Xia people will do!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped to the ground by the second prince. The second prince’s face darkened. “Idiot!”
The desert wolf pack might be a threat to those who were alone, but in the eyes of the tens of thousands of hungry elite soldiers of Great Xia-
“Aiyo, I was just about to say that we should eat sparingly when this meat came knocking on our door?”
The soldiers of Great Xia grabbed their weapons happily and welcomed the wolf pack happily. Yun Er and Yun San even pressed their palms together and imitated Xiaoxiao’s tone.. “Thank you for the gift of nature!”
