Chapter 56 [Power Generation Techniques]
Chapter 56 [Power Generation Techniques]
Song You looked at the message on his phone screen and tapped his fingers on the keyboard.
Su Yunxi's words clearly indicated that she wanted to come to the farmhouse, and he knew in his heart that this junior had something to ask of him.
However, it's quite unusual for students to be looking for internships at agritourism businesses.
Song You thought for a moment and replied, "What about your roommates? Want them all to come and get internship certificates?"
The message was sent out and received a reply almost instantly.
Su Yunxi: "Senior, they've all found a place, but I'm the only one who hasn't found one yet." This was followed by a pitiful emoji.
Looking at that expression, Song You pondered in his heart.
Everyone else has been found except her.
Is she a clueless junior student? Does she know nothing?
His mind flashed back to Su Yunxi's beautiful face, and then he thought of how she looked that day.
He's probably not stupid, but if he really can't do anything, what can he do at a farmhouse?
Washing a dish would be fine too.
Song You replied, "Okay, we'll talk about it later. You don't need to pick me up; I'll go straight into the city to find you."
A meme of Su Yunxi blushing and smiling popped up instantly.
Song You turned off his phone and refocused his consciousness.
The interface of the Druid's Diary unfolds again.
He first clicked on the [Jungle Druid] branch, and the pitiful 24% progress bar made him feel a bit frustrated. The progress was increasing far too slowly.
He sighed, picked up the toolbox in the corner of the room, which contained pruning shears and pesticides for pruning fruit trees. He carried the bucket and walked towards the orchard on the back hill.
In the mountains and forests, the air is moist, carrying the fragrance of soil and plants.
Several tiny wild boars, no bigger than the palm of your hand, were rolling around in the mud, having a great time.
Seeing Song You approach, they stopped what they were doing, tilting their heads curiously, their beady black eyes darting around. Song You merely glanced at them, ignoring them, and walked straight to the deepest part of the orchard, where a sickly plum tree awaited him.
The plum tree is quite ill; its leaves are withered and yellow, and its branches are also somewhat wilted.
Song You turned on the camera, set it on the tripod, and began recording. He first carefully observed the trunk and leaves, then skillfully scraped off the diseased bark and pruned away the dry branches. His movements were precise; each cut seemed calculated, without the slightest hesitation.
"This plum tree is suffering from a typical case of anthracnose," Song You said calmly to the camera. "The pathogens can enter through wounds, causing the branches to wither and die. Therefore, diseased branches must be thoroughly removed during pruning, and the wounds must be disinfected."
He sprayed the prepared medicine onto the pruned wounds and carefully infused the trunk with a wisp of natural energy. The plum tree seemed to receive nourishment, and its originally withered leaves visibly regained some vitality.
[Jungle Druid Beginner Progress +2%]
When the log notification popped up, Song You felt a sense of relief. The tree was finally dealt with. He put away his tools and turned off the camera.
He opened the Druid's Log again and looked at the skill icon for Power Techniques.
[Power Technique (Beginner): Consumes 25% of Jungle Druid's beginner progress.]
Song You silently recited in his mind: "Learn, [Power generation techniques]."
The progress bar for [Jungle Druid] instantly dropped from 26% to 1%. Song You's heart tightened; this was a rather sharp drop.
However, the next second, a new notification popped up.
[Druid's Log: You have successfully mastered the technique of generating power. Your body is more flexible, and the use of strength is becoming more instinctive.]
A new torrent of knowledge flooded into Song You's mind, and he felt as if his entire body had been reorganized.
He casually clenched his fist, and the power within his body flowed more smoothly, each movement carrying an indescribable sense of coordination.
He even felt that his "divine skills" could be used more flexibly, and that he could control each touch and each exertion of force more precisely.
He tried jumping in place, his body as light as a feather. With a simple sidestep, he felt he could dodge attacks more easily, and with each exertion, he could concentrate his power on a single point, making his explosive force even stronger.
"This [power generation technique] is practically tailor-made for combat," Song You thought to himself.
He casually turned on the camera and pointed it at the group of wild boars that were still playing. When the piglets saw the camera, they actually stopped and curiously nudged the lens.
Song You smiled and took a picture of their adorable appearance.
"The video clips of the fruit trees are temporarily unavailable, but thankfully these little guys are taking over." Song You had a new plan in mind and opened the Druid's Log.
[Gourmet Druid: 87% (Advanced Quest 86/100)]
Beastmaster Druid: 77% (Advanced Quest 2/3)
Jungle Druid: 1% (Advanced Quest 8/10)
Looking at the pitiful progress bar of the Jungle Druid, he made a decision. The progress bar of this branch was rising too slowly, while the progress bars of the Beast Mastery and Gourmet Druid were rising very quickly.
Song You doesn't plan to learn many more [Jungle Druid] skills for the time being. He wants to fill up the [Jungle Druid] progress bar first and upgrade to a Tier 1 Druid.
He put away his phone and camera, humming a little tune, and walked towards the farmhouse.
At the same time, the atmosphere was lively in the girls' dormitory of Central South University.
"Wow, my internship application was accepted!" Chen Jiajia excitedly waved her phone. "SuShi Technology! I heard the benefits are amazing!"
"Me too! Me too!" Lin Xiaoran also held up her phone, her face full of surprise. "Luckily, I listened to Yunxi's advice and applied to this company, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find an internship."
Li Jing smiled and nodded, holding the admission notice in her hand.
The three looked at Su Yunxi, who was tidying up her desk.
"Yunxi, what about you? Did SuShi Technology send you a notification too?" Lin Xiaoran asked.
Su Yunxi put down her book, turned around, and had a faint smile on her face. "Oh, me? I was accepted by another internship place beforehand, so I won't be going with you."
Her voice was calm, with an innate aloofness.
"Huh? Didn't you say you wanted to go to SuShi Technology?" Chen Jiajia asked, somewhat puzzled. "That's a big company!"
"It's okay, the place I found is pretty good too," Su Yunxi said casually, but she was secretly delighted.
Lin Xiaoran suddenly slapped her thigh, her eyes lighting up. "Since Yunxi, you didn't go to SuShi Technology, why don't we skip it too?"
Chen Jiajia and Li Jing both looked at Lin Xiaoran.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jiajia asked.
Lin Xiaoran said confidently, "We sisters need to stick together! Besides, I heard that SuShi Technology is having to work overtime, so we won't even have time to go to the farmhouse anymore!"
Thinking of the delicious food, she felt a pang of reluctance.
Su Yunxi's heart leaped into her throat. Why did Lin Xiaoran suddenly have such a thought?
She maintained a calm expression, but her mind was racing as she considered a solution.
"Oh dear, Xiao Ran, don't talk nonsense," Su Yunxi quickly said, her tone filled with concern for her sister. "Su Shi Technology pays interns a lot for overtime, and your internship positions have already been arranged. You can't just quit like that; it will affect your reputation."
"Is it really that high?" Chen Jiajia was somewhat hesitant.
"Of course it's true," Su Yunxi said confidently. "A friend of mine is interning at SuShi Technology, and she said the benefits there are much better than other companies. Plus, if you perform well during your internship, you have a great chance of getting a full-time position."
She then looked at Lin Xiaoran, "Xiaoran, haven't you always wanted to save up to buy that limited edition bag? This is a great opportunity!"
Lin Xiaoran's eyes lit up when she heard about the limited edition bag. She thought about it and realized that Su Yunxi's words made sense.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Lin Xiaoran finally gave up. "Let's go to the farmhouse again sometime. It's a pity I haven't seen my handsome senior for a long time."
Chen Jiajia and Li Jing nodded in agreement, agreeing that Su Yunxi's analysis made a lot of sense.
Su Yunxi breathed a long sigh of relief, but maintained an elegant smile on her face.
She watched as her roommates started discussing the internship at SuShi Technology again, and she felt secretly pleased that Lin Xiaoran had finally refrained from causing trouble this time.
Now, her plan was finally secure.
