Raising a Bun with a Daily Life System

Chapter 15 Upgrade 

The sound of the system prompt changed for the first time, and Yuan Xi was a little surprised.

Yuan Xi guessed that the system could be upgraded as the progress bar has been moving forward. He will naturally upgrade, but what will happen after the upgrade? Yuan Xi could not predict what would change.

Is there even an upgrade reward? Yuan Xi thought for a moment. Now is not the time. Such a large piece of white crystal needs to be harvested. He had no time to study it, so he couldn’t confirm it and just placed it aside.

It’s not too late to wait until all the harvest is complete and then go home to study slowly.

Keeping this thought in mind, Yuan Xi once again focused his mind on harvesting the white crystal which required high concentration and carefulness. It was not a good idea to be distracted.

They were a group of seventeen people. The ten temporary workers were definitely used to doing this. Every farm would hire them to help with the harvest when the white crystals were mature, and their remuneration was a piece-rate model. The more they pick, the higher their salary. If a mistake destroyed it, a certain amount would be deducted from their wage. Therefore, they did it seriously, and didn’t dare be sloppy at all.

To motivate his long-term workers, Wang Qingnian paid them the same salary as the temporary workers when they harvested the white crystal that wasn’t based on a daily wage model.  This motivates them and makes sure that they do not slack off.

As for Wang Qingnian, Yuan Xi and Yuan Yucheng, this was their own land. Of course they would be careful.

As for Zhao Zhao, he’s a careless man, and the most unsuited person to do this job, usually he would have disappeared by now. Just now, he looked at Yuan Xi’s concentration and thought about Yuan Xi’s powerful boxing and kung fu, and he wanted to see him perform more, so he had unprecedented patience to go harvesting here.

Wang Qingnian’s field was large. It produced about 400 kilograms of white crystals per acre of land, and one hundred acres of land is 40,000 kilograms. This harvest is really not small, and the workload is not low.

It takes ten seconds, because it requires too much concentration to do this work, and takes extra effort, so raising the speed wasn’t possible. They hurried hard. Finally, it was finished after four days.

Among them, Yuan Xi didn’t rest for a day, but he was afraid that Yuan Yucheng was tired, and he asked him to go back to rest many times. Yuan Yucheng has never been so tired, but he was stubborn, was never willing to admit defeat, and has no habit of giving up at will. Therefore, after the first day of going back home, even though he has a backache, he continued to work quietly the next day.

Who would have thought after 4 days, he still likes this kind of work and adapted himself to it? Not only does it not hurt anymore, but he was also full of energy. His spirit was also much better. Looking at the full white crystal they had harvested, this sense of achievement really makes people feel comfortable.

After finishing the work, Wang Qingnian settled the wages for both temporary and long-term workers. When doing this, he took Yuan Xi with him, and naturally he followed and learned.

He said to Yuan Xi only after he had dealt with it: “Take care of yourself. These temporary workers often do this, but even so there are some good and bad ones. Look at what you have in mind, and you can pick some capable one’s next time you harvest, which can save you a lot of time and effort.”

Yuan Xi listened and nodded. This was Wang Qingnian’s accumulated experience after years of hard work. He tried to remember it in his heart.

After that, Wang Qingnian went to the hotel to have a big meal with temporary and permanent workers. Although this was the usual, Wang Qingnian was generous and knew how to handle people, so he went to the hotel and ordered food and the best wine.

If it were others, they would think what Wang Qingnan did was excessive. Even the most ordinary people would think such hospitality was a complete waste.

But Wang Qingnian said to Yuan Xi: “We can’t look down on people when we have money. If you give them the dignity they deserve, they would not forget your kindness.”

What Wang Qingnian said was his usual principle of dealing with people. Although it was not necessarily universal, it can be seen that his temperament was bright and generous. Such a person was worthy of deep friendship.

He didn’t really spend that much money on this meal, but for those temporary workers, they were very touched. If Wang Qingnian didn’t bring them here once,  they might never have the chance to eat such a scrumptious meal in their lives.

""

When others respect him, they would naturally treat him with courtesy. It was precisely these small details that made Wang Qingnian famous in the area.

When the crowd dispersed, Yuan Xi stopped Zhao Zhao, and Zhao Zhao came running up to him. He drank the wine, and his face turned slightly red, but he was still sober.

Yuan Xi took a small bag from his arms and handed it to Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao didn’t know what it was, so when he opened it, his face slightly changed: “Master, you…  What do you mean? “

There was a big pile of blue island coins in it, and its weight was not light.

“I know you’re the eldest young master and this money does not mean much in your eyes, but…” Yuan Xi deliberately paused for a while, looking at his stupefied appearance, he said with a smile, “Have you made money with your own hands?”

Zhao Zhao was shocked by this sentence. He faltered and could not speak.

Yuan Xi looked at him with a smile: “This is what you earned after four days of hard work. It belongs to you completely.”

After saying this, Zhao Zhao’s expression changed instantly. He made mistakes every day, and his father scolded him every day. For example, he ate, drank, fooled around, and did not listen to instructions much.

But now, he actually made money himself … This taste … Zeze (t/n: to click one’s tongue), it’s really unusual.

Yuan Xi looked at him like that, patted him on the shoulder, then pulled him over and showed him stealthily: “You see, I also have some money. We should reward ourselves after all these hard days.”

Zhao Zhao was even happier when he saw Yunxi’s identical pocket. His master was just like him. They earned their own money. Hehe, it was really nice.

""

Yuan Xi said to him again, “After a while, when you’re not busy, you could come if you want to learn anything. If I could teach you, I will teach you. You don’t have to call me master. I’m only several years older than you, just call me elder brother.”

Zhao Zhao was excited when he heard this, his heavy eyebrows and big eyes blossomed instantly, and his wheat-colored face was red. He was very excited: “Mmm-hmm, master … ah-no … Brother Yuan, make sure you keep to your word!”

“Of course.”

The two separated, and Yuan Xi returned home. Every day, no matter how tired and busy he was, he would hug his son and bond with the little one. When he saw his son’s lovely appearance, all his tiredness was swept away and his heart was softened. He kissed his white, tender, chubby little face several times.

When he hugged him, Yuan Yucheng, the grandfather, took over him quickly. Xiao Yuan Zhe treated his father and grandfather equally, waving his lotus root-like arms, giggling and babbling.

When Lin Suyun saw this, she smiled and said, “You two, go wash up first before you hug him. Both of you soiled our clean and beautiful baby.”

As soon as she gave the order, the two naturally obeyed and rushed to take a shower.

The family sat together and teased the child for a while. When they saw the little child yawning with drowsiness, they packed up and went back to sleep.

Yuan Xi coaxed his son to sleep, so he has time to check the in and outs of the system.

He has always kept in mind what kind of reward the upgrade would give, yet he doesn’t know what it will be.

After thinking about it with his eyes closed, the system panel appeared in his eyes. Yuan Xi took a look at it. There was the number one behind the finishing, which should represent the first level of finishing, and there was a new progress bar behind it. He had harvested a lot of white crystals these days. The proficiency of finishing has accumulated 90 points again, but this time the progress bar was less than half. It seems like he had to accumulate 200 points to continue upgrading. 

The proficiency of the planting technique has risen very slowly. After harvesting so many white crystals, it has only risen to 30… However, Yuan Xi also summed up some rules. It seems that the operation of different things has increased the proficiency. The proficiency of growing is much higher. As he only reaped the same things these days, so the proficiency will increase slowly.

The dialogue box asking to activate the reward was still there, and Yuan Xi’s full expectations had been confirmed.

If the dialogue box disappears, what will be the reward?

A few seconds later, the tablet’s voice rang: “Finishing level 1 Reward: 10 pack. Please check. “

Oh?? Package?

Yuan Xi was extremely disappointed. What’s the use of giving him a package? To pack diapers?  He can buy a large suitcase at any credit point, and he can pack as many suitcases as he wants …

Yuan Xi pouted, he thought that it would reward him a lot of gold and silver jewellery or a lot of money, so stingy!

Thinking of this, he wanted to exit the panel and go to sleep with his son.

Just as he was about to close the panel, he heard another sound of beeping, and then the system said, “The package has been successfully installed.”

This hint made Yuan Xi realize that he might have misunderstood something… He quickly looked at the panel and saw an added icon of a small package at the back of the finishing operation. He silently thought for a moment, then clicked the icon. What appeared in front of him was a large square, and there were ten small squares inside the square.

This thing was not strange to Yuan Xi. Those who have played online games in the 21st-century would be no stranger to this. It’s really a “package”!

Yuan Xi looked at it, wondering in his heart, what could this package hold?

As his heart was not as good as his action, Yuan Xi quickly picked up something and threw it inside. Then a small square appeared with a reduced pattern. The following line of small words appeared: Baby Blanket, quantity 1.

Ahem, he was so excited that he threw his son’s blanket in. But he doesn’t want to freeze his son. He quickly took it out again and carefully helped cover Yuan Xiaozhe with it.

Now that he knows its usage, he’s excited. In the evening, he’s struggled to pack everything in the bedroom except the bed into the package……

He figured that there were ten squares in the package, each of which could only hold one thing, which seemed not to be many, but the squares were very magical, and the contents can be easily put in regardless of size. Moreover, the same kind of things can be accumulated, but it was not known how many can be stacked together.

Yuan Xi was very happy. Such a treasure was really a must-have good product for family travel and visiting relatives!

He was making a lot of noise, and the little guy was woken up by him. At this time, Yuan Xi just moved the dressing table out. The little guy thought his father was playing a game with him, and giggled.

Yuan Xi listened to the movement and saw that the little guy’s big black eyes looked like a crescent moon. He was happy in his heart. He was even happier when he saw his son smiling. He then magically took out the study table again

His son laughed even more happily, as a silly father, Yuan Xi has fully developed the spirit of committing two-second crimes to the extreme.

There was a “Mommy Mommy Boom” and ‘change’ a nightstand. Another “jackfruit” and ‘changed’ into a big wardrobe……

In this way, the silly dad continued to commit two-second crimes and his son was extremely supportive. He was very happy with his laughter.

After playing for a long time, Xiao Yuanzhe was tired of laughing and fell asleep. Yuan Xi also stopped. He leaned close to Xiao Yuanzhe, kissed his chubby face and said with a smile, “Dear son, you must keep your father’s secret.”

After tossing for a long time, Yuan Xi was also tired. He lay on his bed and was on the verge of falling asleep when suddenly he remembered that his tidying technique had upgraded and was rewarded a wonderful package, what will it be? Will it be a planting technique, cleaning technique, harvesting technique, or cooking technique…What are the rewards for these upgrades?
