Chapter 53: Chapter 48: Reaping Dual Techniques i

Qin Niu watched the prompt that suddenly appeared, his heart filled with wild joy.

He was over the moon for having acquired two skills at once.

Utilizing termites to clear the crops of pests was a step in the right direction.

At the very least, it proved this path was entirely feasible.

He checked his personal attributes.

Agricultural: Sowing Proficiency 34.4/100, Soil Loosening Slightly Accomplished 516/1000, Fertilizing Slightly Accomplished 656/1000, Watering Slightly Accomplished 429/1000, Weeding Slightly Accomplished 520/1000, Pest Removal Beginner 0.01/10.

Insect Control: Insect Trace Identification Beginner 0.02/10, Insect Communication Proficient 13.51/100, Insect Identification Beginner 0.01/10.

An additional Pest Removal appeared in agricultural skills.

Another Insect Identification emerged in the Insect Control skills.

Both were very good skills.

The improvement of agricultural skills could be achieved by adding labor points, and Qin Niu was not at all worried about their upgrading.

He tried adding labor points to the Pest Removal skill.

Up to now, he had accumulated a total of 1246 labor points.

Later, since there was no need, he didn’t use them but kept saving them instead.

Now, they came in handy in a big way.

The corn in this acre urgently needed advanced pest removal skills to kill the pests.

He added 100 points in one go.

Pest Removal went straight from beginner to slightly accomplished.

It rose by two grades.

He found that both his pest extermination knowledge and skills had greatly improved.

Now when he looked at the cornstalk in front of him, he could, like an experienced farmer, detect the presence of pests by observing the color and shape of their leaves, and whether the stem had insect holes or some other traces.

Moreover, his skill in catching various pests had improved by more than tenfold.

He knew how to eliminate them without leaving any problems behind.

For instance, a cotyledon of this stalk of corn was withering due to aging, and on the back of the leaf, he spotted a cluster of brown insect eggs.

He directly tore off the entire leaf and then put it into a basket.

Taking it home to burn it would prevent the hatching of a large number of sugarbeet armyworm larvae.

During this process, his skills improved: Insect Trace Identification Proficiency + 0.01, Insect Identification Proficiency +0.01, Pest Removal Proficiency +0.01, Labor Points +0.21.

It seemed that the Agricultural Pest Removal skill was interconnected with the Insect Master skills.

Therefore, his Insect Master skills improved as well.

The increase in labor points by 0.21 surprised him.

Could it be that labor points were calculated based on the number of insect eggs?

He counted them, and sure enough, there were exactly 21 eggs.

This seemed like a huge BUG!

Labor points that could swiftly upgrade agricultural skills were naturally always welcome.

Qin Niu was privately elated for reaping benefits from a single effort, and the sensation of harvest satisfaction was quite fulfilling.

He continued to search for targets. Due to the improvement of his pest removal skills, as soon as he saw bite marks or crawling marks on leaves, he could immediately determine what kind of pest it was by the bite marks, and he could even judge whether they were nearby based on the freshness of the bite and crawling marks.

Like on this stalk of corn, there was a white mark on the stem at waist height.

It seemed to be left by a snail.

It was dry and noticeably faded.

This indicated that a snail had crawled over this spot a long time ago.

How many days ago, he couldn’t determine with his weak Pest Removal and Insect Trace Identification skills.

“What would happen if I upgraded my Pest Removal skill by one more level?”

Qin Niu found that breeding insects to help him with pest removal could also increase the labor points of the master, so he wasn’t worried about running out of labor points at all.

The ant colony was still small in number, but once the Ant Queen’s Breeding Skill was upgraded, producing 20,000 eggs a day, how terrifying would that be?

One termite could earn him 0.01 labor points, so 20,000 of them could earn him 200 labor points at once.
