Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Nai...ke?

New farmland was cultivated for planting rice. After Jiang Yuan finished sowing, he opened up the water well permissions for Wan Mingchuan, who drew water into the watering cans, and Jiang Yuan watered each plot in turn. By the time they were done, the sky was already approaching dusk.

"Master, the farmland you’ve cultivated is so neat, and the spacing of the seeds is exactly the same. You’re amazing!" Wan Mingchuan, having helped his grandfather with farm work from a young age, had cleared land and sown seeds before, but had never seen a farmer able to make the farmland as square and precise as his master.

Could this be the difference between a cultivator and an ordinary person?

"Hmm, I like things neat and tidy; it looks pleasing to the eye." Jiang Yuan smiled, thinking to himself, my disciple, the world we see is different.

As a master, I see the world as a farming game interface, where the holes dug with a hoe are all identical, and the differences are apparent. Like all farming games, one small square receives one seed, and any extra hoeing results in an obvious extra piece, so of course, it must be perfectly neat without the slightest error.

Otherwise, if I weren’t intellectually sound, why would I always assume the Wilderness World as a game?

Isn’t it because all the game data operations are overwhelming me?

The workshop was busy processing, emitting soft, continuous creaking sounds; the strawberry fields were lush, and the freshly watered rice fields sprouted tender green buds. The spring breeze was gentle, and the sunset dyed the horizon a golden-red hue.

There was nothing urgent to attend to; everything was perfectly comfortable.

Jiang Yuan leaned against the cherry tree while sitting, allowing the cool breeze to brush his face as he gazed absentmindedly at the shimmering water surface, feeling incredibly serene and calm.

At exactly six o’clock in the evening, the Wilderness descended.

According to the usual practice, Jiang Yuan let his well-fed and hydrated disciple cultivate well at home, while he went to meet with Eagle Fifty-Third as agreed.

"Boss, today we should have harvested a lot. The surrounding ore mines are flashing everywhere. If we can find a vein, it would be perfect." Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up as soon as he entered the mine cave.

Despite Yun Mo’s response that the Flame Rats had been digging for ages without seeing a single piece of ore, with the support of the Earth Mirror Book skills, he found that many spots from top to bottom were shimmering. Upon checking the details, it was indicated that although the ores were more than ten meters away, they all contained "rich Spirit Stone ores."

You have to know that he had never encountered the phrase "rich" in previous identifications. The Earth Mirror Book skill has always been reliable, so tonight will surely be a big harvest!

"Really? That’s great!" Yun Mo exclaimed, patting the book on a rock and laughing heartily, "Let’s have them start digging right away! Why did Mr. Jiang change to calling me Boss?"

"I love encountering new things. Human titles are so interesting, and I like the title ’boss.’ It sounds cultured. I know humans respect those they call ’old,’ often referring to esteemed individuals as such. Just stick to the old habits and refer to me as before!"

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help twitching his mouth, thinking to himself I’m doing this for you!

Back then, calling the Flame Rat leader ’boss,’ while persuading him about teamwork and emphasizing working for him was just to fully exploit my advantages and collapse him to escape!

The facts proved my efforts very effective, collapsing him overnight, and you guys successfully reclaimed Lushan.

Upon observing, I find you a fine leader, though naturally suspicious and always worried about being tricked for your ignorance. Overall, you’re faithful and considerate to subordinates, not harming neighbors or the public. Calling you ’boss’ here and there collapsed you before; it’s your own misfortune!

"I think the title ’king’ is more imposing."

"No, no, no, I’m very aware of my grandeur lacking culture, so stick to ’boss.’" Seeing Jiang Yuan about to argue back, Yun Mo’s suspicion flared, his sharp eagle eyes slightly raised as he questioned sharply, "I heard from those stinky rats that Mr. Jiang voluntarily addressed that stinky rat as ’boss.’ What? Do you think I am less than him?"

Jiang Yuan silently sighed, thinking this is what you got yourself into, if any chaos ensues, don’t blame me.

He reluctantly agreed, while Yun Mo wasn’t quite satisfied, clutching the book in his wings, he urged, "Since Mr. Jiang thinks I’m worthy to be called ’boss,’ say it loudly!"

"Boss!" Jiang Yuan said expressionlessly with a shout.

Yun Mo felt content, narrowing his eyes with a smile.

At this moment, the mine echoed with the supervised Ice-winged Eagle’s excited cry, "King! A Spirit Stone vein has been unearthed! Come see, so many Spirit Stones!"

"Is there really a vein?!" Yun Mo’s eyes widened in surprise, casually putting away the book and inviting Jiang Yuan to explore the mine together.

The spots identified by the Earth Mirror Book skill had all been unearthed, revealing the shimmering silver actually connected together, appearing like a luminescent river spreading across the mine.

"Magnificent!"

"All Spirit Stones, we’re rich!"

"Is this the legendary Spirit Stone Vein? Incredible..."

......

Not only were the Ice-winged Eagles amazed, but even the filthy, gaunt Flame Rats, chained, and holding mining pickaxes were stunned.

Followed by overwhelming regret; had they not greedily devoured miners out of short-sightedness, the King would have accumulated enough Spirit Stones to purchase his desired weapons and extinguish the Ice-winged Eagles! The mine would be ours; the Spirit Stone vein too, living lavishly under the King’s rule. How did they end up in such a dire state?

Unfortunately, even the Wilderness World doesn’t offer regret solutions. They can only greedily watch as they’re driven by their severed Steel Whip tails to mine and transport Spirit Stone ores, becoming the foundation of the Ice-winged Eagle tribe’s rise.

"Great, great! This is marvelous!" Yun Mo, holding a pile of ores, had his eagle face lit by faint fluorescence. Gazing at the seemingly endless Spirit Stone vein hidden beneath the rocks, he felt his mind open and body relaxed.

Directly stuffing the pile of ores in his wings into Jiang Yuan’s hands, Yun Mo’s voice trembled with excitement, "Mr. Jiang, this is your rightful reward. It’s all thanks to your guidance in mining direction, laying the foundation for the Ice-winged Eagle tribe’s glory!"

Jiang Yuan had never been in such a situation, especially as it was his first encounter with a boss thriving instead of being collapsed due to his curse, he politely complimented Yun Mo while pondering if Yun Mo’s excellent ’eagleness’ was immune to his curse?

Resisting my boss-collapsing curse, encountering good fortune, getting rich and famous in return?

Though he didn’t understand the specifics, he was genuinely happy for Yun Mo. This was cash in hand, hard currency anywhere, valuable cultivation resources even if not exchanged for goods, far superior to mere meditation training.

With that in mind, Jiang Yuan casually stored the ores in his storage bag, considering whether to give his disciple a few Spirit Stones for cultivation? After all, this kid often increased his favorability too easily, nearly reaching two diamonds.

With such favorability, betrayal seems impossible. Having a disciple with good training resources and strong skills can greatly assist me. Especially in the crisis-ridden Wilderness World, teamwork is always safer than fighting alone!

Having decided, after picking fruits, fighting monsters at Crescent Lake, collecting herbs, fishing, and running errands all around, on the brink of Wilderness Ascension, upon returning to the courtyard, without even harvesting the matured rice, Jiang Yuan immediately handed two Spirit Stones to the disciple.
