After the divorce, he settled in Northwest China and became a Shennong (a legendary Chinese farmer).

Gu Tong edited the footage she had accumulated over the past two days into a video and uploaded it to the platform.

Then he glanced at the backend data and was shocked even by himself.

His number of followers increased dramatically, breaking through the 1200 mark and settling at 1253, essentially doubling his follower count in a single day.

Because he needed to focus on operating the farm machinery in the morning, he turned off the system's notification messages, but later forgot to turn them off.

"You've already got thousands of followers so quickly? That's amazing!"

Although Gu Tong doesn't make a living from live streaming, the increase in his fan base brings an increase in his [Shennong Value], which makes him very happy.

Upon opening the panel, a notification message flashed before my eyes.

[Influence expands, Divine Power +6]

I gained 600 new followers and earned 6 Shennong points.

......

[Host: Gu Tong]

[Realm: Ordinary Farmer (0/100)]

[Skills: Basic Cooking (0/10), Basic Driving (0/10)]

[Shennong Pavilion: Not unlocked (Unlocking requires 10 Shennong Points)]

Shennong Value: 10 points

[Task: None]

......

Gu Tong's personal information has changed. His Shennong value has increased to 10 points, and he has gained two more entry-level skills: cooking and driving.

Click on these two skills to view them; there are very detailed explanations.

Culinary skills: Food is the most important thing for people. The ultimate goal of Shennong's legacy is to ensure that people have enough to eat and eat well. Culinary skills, as an important part of this, are indispensable.

[Driving: To do a good job, one must first have the right tools. The host's driving skills (passenger vehicle driving and agricultural machinery driving) have reached the beginner level and have been assessed as meeting the system requirements, therefore they are being added.]

Gu Tong discovered a highlight: the first skill, [Cooking], was obtained using a skill book.

The second skill, [Driving], was something I achieved at the beginner level through learning and experience. After evaluation, it met the requirements of the Shennong system and was automatically included by the system.

That's interesting; the system knows how to keep up with the times.

"System, are there two paths for skill upgrades as well?"

"Yes, skills can be upgraded by directly consuming Shennong Points, or they can be upgraded by accumulating experience, reaching the advancement standard, and being judged as qualified by the system."

Gu Tong inquired about the skill upgrade path and received a clear answer.

However, he believes that it would be difficult to upgrade through experience accumulation because the standards are in the hands of the system, and who knows how big the leap between each level is?

Upgrading using Shennong Points is simple and straightforward, but you might not have enough Shennong Values ​​for the time being.

"It wasn't easy! My Shennong Points have finally reached 10. Skills can wait, unlock the [Shennong Pavilion]!"

Having basically figured out the skills, Gu Tong looked at the [Shennong Pavilion] he had been longing for and unlocked it.

The 10 Shennong points that hadn't even been warmed up were instantly reduced to zero. The Shennong Pavilion was like a newlywed maiden, its mysterious red veil lifted, allowing him to come and go as he pleased.

The moment Gu Tong clicked on [Shennong Pavilion], the entire panel changed drastically. He felt as if he were in an enormous exhibition hall, with shelves filled with all sorts of items.

He was stunned by the sight before him. As he looked around, the first thing he saw were numerous books of inheritance and skill manuals.

[Farming Basics] (50 Shennong Points, redeemable by Mortal Farmer and above)

[Basic Farming Guide] (100 Shennong Points, redeemable at the Beginner Shennong level or above)

[Intermediate Farming Level] (200 Shennong Points, redeemable at Intermediate Shennong level or above)

[Advanced Farming] (500 Shennong Points, redeemable at Advanced Shennong level or above)

.......

[Carpentry for Beginners] (10 Shennong Points, redeemable at the Mortal Farmer level or above)

[Carpentry Proficiency] (30 Shennong Points, redeemable at the Mortal Farmer level or above)

[Carpentry Proficiency] (60 Shennong Points, redeemable at the Mortal Farmer level or above)

[Master Carpenter] (90 Shennong Points, redeemable at the Mortal Farmer level or above)

......

Gu Tong focused on the types and exchange prices of the inheritance books. He had obtained five basic inheritance books as well as subsequent advanced ones, and the exchange prices showed a trend of jumping up and down.

The exchange price for skill books is much lower. According to the system's evaluation criteria, skills are all for agricultural and livestock production, while inheritance is the most important thing.

In addition to farming, animal husbandry, breeding, soil improvement, and disaster prevention, the book also covers fertilizers, irrigation, domestication, feed, veterinary medicine, earth veins, and weather conditions.

The most useful items for him right now are the five inheritance scrolls he obtained through the newbie gift pack. Next, he only needs to focus on leveling up.

Other traditions weren't unnecessary, but he was too poor.

Skill books cover a wide range of skills, such as cooking, driving, woodworking, horsemanship, blacksmithing, repair, identification, animal control, hunting, and gathering.

Gu Tong felt that all the inheritances were very useful. For example, the content of "Earth Vein" was about environmental governance, which was closely related to agriculture, breeding, and animal husbandry.

There are too many skills and they are too varied, but many of them are useful. The key problem is that he is poor, and his Shennong points have dropped to zero.

Both the inheritance book and the skill book had descriptions, and Gu Tong only glanced at them briefly, which took an hour.

"We'll talk about that later. Let's look at other things first."

Gu Tong then left to continue examining the other display cases.

"High-quality rice seeds, wheat seeds, corn seeds, various vegetable seeds, soybean seeds, peanut seeds, various fruit seeds, soil-enhancing liquid, compost-enhancing liquid, feed-enhancing liquid, insect-repellent-enhancing liquid..."

Gu Tong was dazzled by the sight; there were countless superior varieties alone.

However, these superior seeds, like the ones he had obtained before, could not be saved for propagation, and the exchange price for every 50 kilograms was 100 Shennong points.

Other miscellaneous items are much cheaper. For example, Fertile Soil Enhancer Liquid can slightly improve soil quality. The exchange price for 1 Shennong Point is 1 point for every 10 acres of land. It can be used together with irrigation.

Compost enhancement liquid can significantly improve composting efficiency and save composting time. The exchange price for every 10 tons of farmyard manure is also 1 Shennong point, which can be mixed with water and sprayed on the compost pile.

Gu Tong was interested in many of the miscellaneous items, but unfortunately he was short of money, so he closed the panel after looking around.

His immediate priority is to prepare for spring planting; he can explore the Shennong Pavilion at his own pace.

Over the next two days, Gu Tong continued to test the machines, operating all of them in practice and broadcasting the process live.

His number of followers continued to climb, quickly surpassing the 2000 mark and reaching 2069.

[Influence expands, Divine Power +8]

His remaining Shennong value has reached 8 points again, and he dares not squander it now, so he keeps it for future use.

Just in the last two days, Ma Dongwen had materials delivered for building the farm machinery shed. Then a foreman and a worker came and started working, promising to complete the work within three days.

Gu Tong has been very busy these past few days, so apart from occasionally coming over to chat with his master and lend a hand, he rarely pays attention to him otherwise.

The craftsman introduced by Ma Dongwen was highly skilled and did a great job, finishing the work completely half a day ahead of schedule.

The day the farm machinery shed was completed.

Based on his personal experience from testing the machine over the past few days, and combined with the knowledge of inheritance in his mind, Gu Tong revised the spring planting plan.

The salinity of the 50 mu (approximately 3.3 hectares) of saline-alkali land is not high, so drip irrigation can be temporarily abandoned, and a more cost-effective irrigation method can be adopted instead.

The tilling depth is fixed at 35 centimeters. The base fertilizer mainly uses organic fertilizer, and the amount used for 50 mu is calculated at 100 tons. He needs to purchase a batch of sheep manure for composting.

The fertilizer used is compound fertilizer (superphosphate and potassium sulfate), with a dosage of about 750 kg and a purchase price of 3000 yuan.

The soil quality of the 30 mu of farmland is average. The plowing depth is fixed at 25 cm. Organic fertilizer is used little or no as base fertilizer, and chemical fertilizer is the main fertilizer used.

For 80 acres of land, the total cost of fertilizers and pesticides will be around 10,000 yuan.

The above data represents a comprehensive conclusion reached by Gu Tong after fully considering soil conditions, irrigation conditions, seed conditions, and weather conditions.

"By the way, there's compost enhancement liquid available for exchange at [Shennong Pavilion]. We shouldn't need that much sheep manure, right?"

After revising the plan, Gu Tong was about to go wash up when she suddenly remembered the [Compost Enhancer Liquid].
