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

Gu Tong, unfamiliar with this, asked curiously, "How is the payout line calculated? Or rather, what is the deductible rate for insurance companies?"

"For the ordinary agricultural insurance we purchased, the deductible is generally 20%, meaning there's a deductible if the loss rate is below 20%. The specific details depend on the policies of each insurance company. But regardless of the company, our loss rate is below the compensation threshold."

Ma Dongwen was very familiar with insurance policies and patiently explained them to Gu Tong.

Gu Tong nodded, planning to learn more about this topic later so that she would be well-informed.

Furthermore, after learning about the losses suffered by Dong Jun, Ma Dongwen, Lin Hao, and others, he once again held the [antifreeze enhancer] in even higher regard.

After chatting for a while, Gu Tong said goodbye and left to return home.

After one night.

The weather has completely improved, and the sun feels warm and cozy on people's skin.

[Task (Completed): A late spring cold snap has arrived, and the frost damage should not be underestimated. Please take precautions to prevent and mitigate disasters. If crop losses are less than 10%, the reward is 2 (Summer Solstice Gift Boxes).]

Do you want to claim the reward?

......

The message indicating the task was completed floated past her eyes. Gu Tong glanced at it quickly and felt somewhat helpless.

He had just checked his harvest over the past two days, and had thought that spraying antifreeze would yield some Shennong points, but in fact, he got nothing.

Gu Tong's previous act of spraying antifreeze for Dong Jun and others earned her the "helpful" rating from the system, but no reward was given. In short, the system considered Gu Tong to be doing a good deed, and doing good deeds naturally yields no benefit.

"If they don't want to give us Shennong points, then so be it. Let's see what good stuff we can get from the quest rewards."

Gu Tong then received two [Summer Solstice Gift Boxes] and opened them.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the inheritance [Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica - Basic Chapter] 1 item and the introductory skill book [Listening to the Wind and Recognizing Clouds] 1 book.]

As before, a wealth of experience and knowledge poured into his mind, and he gained another basic inheritance and an entry-level skill.

Gu Tong was familiar with the Shennong Bencao Jing, one of the four classic texts of traditional Chinese medicine.

However, since it is a form of inheritance, what he gained was not just textbooks to be read verbatim, but also the insights and practical experience of countless sage physicians of the past.

Although it was only a basic course, it gave him a deeper understanding of the identification, properties, basic compatibility principles, harvesting, processing and storage of Chinese herbal medicines, as well as a skilled operational instinct.

"Listening to the wind and recognizing the clouds" is a meteorological skill that allows one to predict weather changes by observing meteorological conditions such as cloud cover, wind direction and speed, and humidity.

For example, will it rain or snow in the next two days? Will there be any drastic temperature fluctuations?

Gu Tong felt that this skill could serve as a supplement to weather forecasting. If he had possessed the "Listen to the Wind and Predict the Clouds" skill before, he might have been able to prepare in advance before the frost arrived.

"A good harvest!"

Gu Tong was very satisfied, but the basic inheritance was still a bit insufficient, so he then entered the Shennong Pavilion.

Next, he spent 400 Shennong points to exchange for four beginner-level inheritance manuals in one go: [Beginner's Guide to Animal Husbandry], [Beginner's Guide to Breeding], [Beginner's Guide to Soil Improvement], and [Beginner's Guide to Disaster Prevention and Mitigation].

Shennong Value: 156 points

......

Later, a wealth of experience and knowledge flooded into his mind, giving him a clearer and deeper understanding of aquaculture, breeding, soil improvement, and disaster prevention and mitigation.

He was initially quite satisfied with his performance in combating the frost disaster, but now he realizes that there were still many areas where he had made mistakes.

For example, he didn't pay much attention to the timing of antifreeze spraying. In fact, if the spraying time is not appropriate, it will affect the antifreeze effect.

He has gained so much new knowledge and experience today that he needs time to digest it all.

Currently, only one inheritance, the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica Basic Chapter," remains to be upgraded. He feels there's no rush, as he won't need it for the time being.

In addition, three of his nine skills were at the beginner level. So he spent 30 Shennong points to upgrade these three skills to the proficient level.

Shennong Value: 126 points

......

The player's profile then changed:

[Host: Gu Tong]

[Realm: Beginner Shennong (0/1000)]

Skill Tree: 9 skills (9 at proficiency level)

[Shennong Pavilion: Unlocked]

Shennong Value: 126 points

[Task: None]

......

Proficient-level skills include: [Driving], [Repairing], [Carpentry], [Construction], [Cooking], [Flight Control], [Identification], [Collection], and [Reading the Wind and Clouds].

At this moment, Gu Tong felt very at ease. Both the inheritance and the skills were the foundation upon which he would rely for his future livelihood.

Save the remaining Shennong Points for now. There are countless good things in the Shennong Pavilion, which you can exchange for immediately when needed.

Gu Tong then went into the yard and lifted the plastic film covering the vegetable garden and small garden.

The vegetable and flower seedlings, having survived the frost, have straightened their stems and leaves again, displaying vigorous vitality under the sunlight.

He tidied up the plastic film, then took the small stones and went to inspect the fields.

The rapeseed and alfalfa had all recovered, and based on his experience, he judged that this sudden frost disaster would basically not affect the harvest.

Gu Tong turned on her phone and started a live stream.

"I'm happy to tell you all that this cold snap is over. The weather is great now, with temperatures around 16°C. As you can see, the rapeseed in the fields has basically returned to its previous state."

He walked through the fields and introduced the post-disaster situation to his fans.

The live stream chat immediately became lively, with everyone happy for Gu Tong.

To be honest, many of them had been worried, and now that they see the situation improving, they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I did some weeding a few days ago, and there are very few weeds in the field now. It seems that the [root enhancement solution] is working."

As he spoke, Gu Tong dug up the soil around an alfalfa plant, showing everyone its lush root system.

These deep-rooted roots are key to suppressing weed growth and also play a crucial role in protecting against frost damage.

Once the alfalfa grows taller, it will essentially completely block the growth space of weeds, forming a three-dimensional protective net from the ground to the surface, which is even more effective than chemical herbicides.

【Lonely Swordsman】: "Things are really different now. Farming has so many technological advancements now, amazing!"

His words represented the sentiments of many fans. Gu Tong's consistently demonstrated mechanized operations, non-toxic and harmless weeding solutions, and highly effective antifreeze have all overturned everyone's understanding of agricultural production.

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces. I will use more technological means to serve agricultural production in the future, so please stay tuned. Next, I may have a short period of leisure time to take you all to see different places."

In addition, I need to hurry up and buy some lambs, since the sheepfold has been built for a while now. I also need to buy some hay and feed; we can't rely on the alfalfa in the fields anytime soon.

In today's live stream, in addition to showcasing the recovery of crops after the disaster, Gu Tong also talked to everyone about the upcoming plans.

Lin Hao's big order was temporarily put on hold due to the sudden frost disaster, and there wasn't much to do in the fields, so Gu Tong thought he would take a walk around the surrounding area.

The mountains are covered with pine forests, and there are streams flowing along the mountainside. Further afield, there are national wetland parks and national forest parks.

Nasu is the only county in the province without desert. It has good natural conditions and abundant plant and animal resources, with many places worth visiting.

【Traveling with the Birds】: "Great! I love seeing scenery."

[I Don't Eat Donkey Meat]: "Little Dog's getting a bit cocky! But I also want to see the beautiful scenery over there."

......

The fans immediately became excited upon hearing Gu Tong's arrangements.

In their memory, the greyhound has been busy ever since it came to Nasu, cleaning the yard, spring planting, agricultural machinery operations, aerial spraying, disaster relief, and so on. In short, it is always running around in the fields.

Now the other side is finally deciding to change the map.
