Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 489: Hanba

"Therefore, My Lord, don't delay any longer, don't wait for them to mature, harvest them quickly! With each day these Magical Crops get closer to the perfect maturation stage, the oscillation curve of their Mana Fluctuation will become more intense. We also don't know what the maximum suppression threshold of the Five-Star Stone Mine is. Therefore, the best method is to quickly finish this before any disaster has formed."

Chekhov eagerly advised; how could he not be agitated?

He and Liu Huan originally thought they were useless trash. As a result, over the past three months, adhering to the most basic spirit of research, they began to record and observe the Mana Fluctuations in this area. In the end, they unexpectedly stumbled upon such a massive discovery through Li Wei's Eight-Hundred-Acre Farmland.

This was the true unfolding beauty of magical science.

It was intoxicating!

"Good!"

Li Wei was Following Advice Like Flowing Water. Actually, he was also truly quite frightened. He himself had only sensed a certain magnitude of Mana Fluctuation, but absolutely not as detailed as the two of them, Chekhov and Liu Huan. Moreover, those two were really idle with nothing to do.

Thank goodness, thank goodness!

So they truly couldn't take the risk anymore. Harvest!

Otherwise, when these eight hundred acres of Magical Crops fully matured all at once, wouldn't they become a giant Magic Mushroom Bomb?That day, Li Wei quickly rushed to harvest two hundred acres.

However, he didn't continue harvesting, because according to the testing reports from Chekhov and Liu Huan, as a portion of the Magical Crops was harvested, the Mana Fluctuation formed by the remaining Magical Crops during their maturation process had dropped from Sequence Two to Sequence One, becoming very safe.

"This means, we can delay for another two days?"

"Yes, at most two days, and then the Mana Fluctuation curve will continue to climb and oscillate. But in this season, every extra day of growth is extraordinary."

"Very good, very good. Chekhov, Liu Huan, you two have made a great contribution this time." Li Wei did not skimp on praise. To be honest, yesterday when he harvested those two hundred acres of Magical Crops, it would be strange if he said his heart didn't ache, because what was harvested was only of Two-Star quality.

"But why don't you guys tell me, why was there no such danger when I sowed five hundred acres of Magic Wheat at the Riverside Fortress back then?" Li Wei asked at this time.

"My Lord, we still cannot give you an accurate answer on this. I think it might be related to the Mana concentration. One is Low-Magic, the other is Mid-Magic; there is definitely a huge disparity."

"That's right, My Lord. These two hundred acres of Magic Wheat you harvested just now, although they were still half a month away from complete maturation, casually harvesting them yielded basically Two-Star quality. Were there any One-Star, or ordinary wheat? None at all. I think this is a very important reason."

"Additionally, I also have a hypothesis, called the Mana Vacuum Effect. My Lord, think about it. As these Magical Crops grow madly and crazily absorb the surrounding Mana, will it cause a brief Mana vacuum?"

"If this were a Low Magic World where the Mana concentration is not high, then even if a brief Mana vacuum was created, the surrounding Mana filling it in would be a very slow process, naturally not forming intense oscillations."

"But this is a Medium Magic World. Once a Mana vacuum is formed, the surrounding Mana will naturally pour in. The kind of fluctuation they bring is just like the lightning effect triggered by a large-scale collapse of cloud layers; it will be very intense, very terrifying."

"However, we have the Central City foundation, which is similar to the subtropical high pressure formed by atmospheric pressure. Hey, it just happened to suppress it and stabilized this Mana vacuum, so it didn't cause any chaos. Of course, all of this is our conjecture. Specifically, we still have to wait for Madam Hathaway to return and have her appraise it before it can be confirmed."

After Chekhov and Liu Huan finished speaking, they themselves also felt that their conjectures were too outrageous and lacking much persuasive power. So they Eagerly Tagged Along to observe again. Li Wei, however, fell into deep thought because he remembered that bizarre Magic Power Mine explosion incident at the Gale Fortress a few years ago.

That incident was too bizarre; even now, Li Wei couldn't figure out the reason behind it.

But today, the so-called Mana Vacuum Effect mentioned by Chekhov and Liu Huan suddenly opened up his train of thought.

Because what they described was still very logical, right?

Then, did the conditions for forming a Mana Vacuum Effect also exist around the Magic Power Mine at the Gale Fortress that day, which then detonated what should have been the safest Level 3 Magic Power Mine?

If that was the case, there might be an inside story to this matter.

Furthermore, was the Samsara Travelers' understanding of Magic also this outstanding?

Or did they obtain all this Arcane Lore from the Neanderthals?

Tsk tsk, Neanderthals and Samsara Travelers, presumably they would call each other strategic cooperative partners once again this time.

This thought flashed through Li Wei's mind, and he didn't think further. For the time being, thinking too much was useless.

So he continued as before, guarding around the farmland day and night, absolutely allowing no mistakes.

Of course, mistakes were impossible.

Now, Li Yue had raised the early warning level around the Temporary Territory to the highest. The forty-two Blaze Knights maintained a constant state of war readiness. At the slightest sign of trouble, they could form the most terrifying strike in the blink of an eye.

Presumably, even if a Fourth-Tier Legendary Squad came, they wouldn't want to face it head-on.

What's more, there was also the Ice Legion led by Thomas, which was also shedding its old shell and growing now. Although it was Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow for quick success and instant benefits, Li Wei now possessed over a hundred Transcendents with All-Attribute Level 3 Awakening under his command; this was an unquestionable fact.

Even if the Combat Cards they forged were the lowest level Night Warrior Cards, they were still Combat Cards.

Unless a massive army came attacking, wanting to suppress them would require paying a tragic price.

Just like that, another two days passed. Under the warnings of Chekhov and Liu Huan, Li Wei once again spent a day rushing to harvest two hundred acres of Magical Crops. This time, he harvested half Two-Star and half Three-Star.

Among these, the Magic Wheat had an average yield of 1200 jin per mu.

Magic Corn had an average yield of 2400 jin per mu.

Magic Potatoes had an average yield of ten thousand jin per mu. Well, he planted relatively few Magic Potatoes, only ten acres, but the effect was truly excellent.

After another two days passed like this, Li Wei steadily rushed to harvest another two hundred acres.

At this point, only two hundred acres of Magical Crops remained.

This time, he didn't need Chekhov and Liu Huan's Mana monitoring; Li Wei himself could feel the difference. Because that afternoon, a cloud drifted over from the northwest horizon, and in a short while, the sky was covered in overcast, and a pattering light rain began to fall!

It was truly too miraculous!

So the three-month severe drought was really caused by these Eight-Hundred-Acre Farmland of Magical Crops.

So I am the Hanba?

Li Wei experienced Sudden Enlightenment, and simultaneously understood that under the current quantity of Five-Star Stone Mine, they could at most plant two hundred acres of Magical Crops.

Of course, this was the situation without a Rank 3 Caster. Li Wei felt that if Hathaway were here, she would be able to glimpse the deeper rules and better solve the problem.

After another two days passed, Li Wei still harvested another one hundred acres of farmland, only retaining the last one hundred acres. This way, no matter what, safety could be ensured.

Or even if it was destroyed, the loss of one hundred acres wouldn't be crippling.

Because the previous seven hundred acres of Magical Crops had already brought a more abundant magical food reserve to Li Wei's Legion. With grain in hand, there's no panic in the heart!

Moreover, his gains this wave were even more massive. His Farmer Destiny directly upgraded to 95, and the Farming Experience obtained was 200,000+. If he were still in Weir Province, he could even continue to enhance a wave of Hunter Cards and Woodsman Cards, upgrading and strengthening them into Double Rare.

That night, Li Wei specifically showed off his skills and made a meal of dumplings, using flour ground from Four-Star Wheat, to treat himself and the others.

Everyone had worked hard these past few months, and even the captives were fortunate enough to receive some alcohol. Everyone was happy and joyful together.

Of course, the necessary vigilance, the various visible and hidden sentries, wouldn't decrease.

However, no one expected that after dinner, two Human Silhouettes among the captives silently slipped out of the camp in such a night. They even knew the location of every hidden sentry, knew every trap, and knew how to utilize every piece of terrain to avoid every owl and bat patrolling in the sky.

In less than a few minutes, this early warning network personally designed by Li Wei was traversed without triggering the slightest alarm.

These two Human Silhouettes slipped out for more than twenty li, then plunged into the large river, directly swimming to the opposite bank before stopping. Looking at the lights on the opposite bank from afar, the expressions on their respective faces were both very complex.

One of them suddenly sighed, "Damn it, four and a half months of lurking have gone completely down the drain. I am truly unwilling to accept this."

"What's the use of being unwilling? This Li Wei is indeed worthy of being a boss of Silver Side Quest difficulty; he's too difficult to deal with. He has too many trump cards in his hand, leaving absolutely no opportunity to strike." The other person shook his head silently. The two waited quietly here, and before long, another figure appeared from somewhere, equally ghostly and silent.

"What's going on? Weren't you lurking perfectly fine? Why did you give up? There will be a penalty for giving up the mission. Moreover, Mr. He over there wants you to give an explanation."

"Explain my ass! There was no opportunity to strike, how else are we supposed to explain."

"That's not right. Didn't you say before that Li Wei was planting Magical Crops in swathes? Couldn't you have used that trick to blow him up without anyone noticing?"

"Normally speaking, that's how it is, but that kid has two half-baked Mage Apprentices under him. They do some kind of Mana Fluctuation monitoring every day. Under big data, any suspicious fluctuations will be revealed. Over the past two months, we poured three hundred units of pure Mana in vain to help ripen them. As a fucking result, that Li Wei unexpectedly sensed something was wrong in advance and harvested the Magical Crops batch by batch."

"Then why didn't you wait a bit longer? Story Characters Mountain Eagle Parker and Kahndorf might erupt in a huge battle in the near future. Perhaps this would be a good opportunity."

"An opportunity lost is an opportunity lost. I only ever like Guiding Based on Circumstances and leaving no traces. If forced, we will reveal ourselves sooner or later. Besides, this Li Wei's Perception should be very high. Although he has been farming for the past three-plus months with no time for anything else, my intuition won't be wrong. I suggest you guys be a bit more careful. This is a boss that might upgrade to a Golden Side Quest in the next few decades!"

"Forget it, let it be. The myriad worlds are vast, safety first. I will pay the penalty for the failed mission. Goodbye! Also, here are the identity and memory saves of the Routed Soldiers we possessed for Reincarnation; there won't be a single flaw. Returning to the camp before dawn will pose absolutely no problem."
