At this moment.
Inside the Star Dew Valley World where Captain Zeng Niu's team was located.
Captain Zeng Niu was leading the work in the farmland.
In a flash, they had been busy for almost a whole morning.
Captain Zeng Niu was panting heavily, stopping his movements, planning to take a break.
He couldn't help but look to the side and saw that the other two companions were also working, but one person was missing.
"Where is Xiao Yao?"
"I'm not sure, but in the morning, I saw him staying in the house again!"
"It's been days in the game; even if he's slacking off, there should be a limit!"
The two companions complained twice.
Upon hearing this, Captain Zeng Niu furrowed his brow.
Clearly, yesterday, for the entire day in reality, Li Xiaoyao had been quite active and energetic in the game.
Why did he suddenly start slacking off today?
Although each of them received remuneration based on their labor, earning more for more work.
However, as a team, they still needed to cooperate to achieve maximum efficiency.
Evidently, Li Xiaoyao's behavior had significantly slowed down their progress.
"I'll go take a look!"
As the team leader, Captain Zeng Niu couldn't help but put down his farm tools and was about to head back.
"Haha, success!"
Just then, he saw the farmhouse wooden house not far away being pushed open, and Li Xiaoyao excitedly ran out from inside.
"Brother Niu, come and see!"
"Hm?"
Captain Zeng Niu subconsciously asked, "See what?"
But he had already noticed that Li Xiaoyao was holding a rather strange device in his hand.
Then he heard Li Xiaoyao say with a smile, "Automatic sprinkler!"
"Automatic sprinkler?"
"What's it for?"
Captain Zeng Niu had clearly never heard of this thing and was full of doubt.
"Sprinkling, as the name suggests, is for watering!"
Li Xiaoyao grew more and more excited as he spoke: "With this machine, we won't have to water the crops every day anymore. This machine can water automatically!"
"How is that possible!"
"There's no such simple thing, I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either!"
At this moment, the other two companions, seeing Li Xiaoyao come out, also walked over, just in time to hear this, their faces full of doubt.
"Heh heh, try it, and you'll know!"
Li Xiaoyao didn't explain much but chose to demonstrate it to the three of them personally.
First, he placed the machine in the farmland, then connected the water source, and finally set the watering time and frequency, as well as the amount of water.
As soon as the time came, the machine indeed started watering punctually, and the amount of water was exactly as set, neither more nor less.
"My goodness, it really works!"
"This is too convenient!"
"This way, our farming speed will greatly increase!"
The three of them were stunned when they saw it; now they had to believe it even if they didn't want to, and soon, their faces showed ecstasy.
In fact, after they became familiar with the cultivation methods for these crops, they understood that the main difficulty lay in the process being too cumbersome.
Take watering, for example: some crops needed to be watered every half hour, and the amount of water required each time was different.
When they only had a few plots of farmland, they could manage, but as the farm grew larger, this became a big problem.
But now with this sprinkler, this problem was naturally solved.
"This is truly a good thing!"
Captain Zeng Niu hurriedly asked with concern, "Xiao Yao, can your automatic sprinkler be mass-produced?"
Li Xiaoyao nodded confidently: "Yes, I'm now familiar with how to make it. As long as I have the materials, I can mass-produce it!"
"Good, that's really great!"
Captain Zeng Niu was even more excited when he heard this.
Meanwhile, the other two companions asked with some curiosity, "Xiao Yao, have you been researching this all these days?"
"How did you learn it?"
Li Xiaoyao explained with a chuckle: "I first learned about this thing in the library, and then I went to inquire and ask for advice from the residents in town, which unlocked the crafting method for this sprinkler. Then I started trying to make it myself!"
After listening, the three of them were silent for a moment, and when they looked at Li Xiaoyao again, their eyes instantly changed.
Although they were much more experienced in farming than Li Xiaoyao, they were not as smart and quick-witted as Li Xiaoyao, who could adapt.
The Security Team hadn't taught this, and if they were left to their own devices, it might take a long time to unlock this sprinkler.
Afterwards.
With the help of Li Xiaoyao's automatic sprinkler, their farming efficiency indeed greatly increased, and achievement points started soaring.
...
And on this day.
Inside the Internet Cafe, the commotion was also considerable.
Because there were consecutive players who had cleared monster hunter.
The players who had cleared it naturally felt a burst of accomplishment and boasted everywhere.
Those who hadn't cleared it began to get a little anxious.
So more players came to Su Ran for advice and guidance, and to buy game guides.
"Oh no, I feel like I don't have enough time today. It looks like I won't be able to play the new game right away!"
"No way, I must clear it tomorrow. Boss, write me a game guide, I'll pick it up tomorrow!"
"Give me one too!"
This situation continued until the Internet Cafe closed in the evening.
Even after logging off, many players ran to the counter to buy game guides.
It wasn't until a while later that it finally quieted down, and all the players had left.
Only then did Su Ran have some free time, and he couldn't help but glance at his contribution points.
"Hmm, enough!"
Then, without thinking, he opened the system's personal store and chose to purchase.
The next moment.
A brand new computer appeared on the counter.
"Boss's Special Unit 01: For the Internet Cafe boss only, players cannot use it, as it is a system prototype machine, it might be slightly different from regular machines."
But Su Ran looked closely and didn't find anything different about this computer compared to other computers.
In terms of appearance, it was almost identical.
Su Ran wanted to play it right now.
But then he remembered that he still had many players' game guides to write, so he shook his head with a bitter smile.
He was planning to finish writing the game guides first.
But at this moment, he received a system notification:
"Host, please note, the game 'the legend of sword and fairy' will officially unlock tomorrow morning at 8 AM."
"At the same time, a limited-time mission has appeared, please check it promptly."
And surprisingly, the same situation as when Stardew Valley was unlocked occurred again.
"Another limited-time mission?"
"Could it be that every time there's a new game, a limited-time mission appears?"
Su Ran was a little surprised and uncertain.
However, he quickly opened the mission list.
Sure enough, he saw another new golden mission message pop out.
"Mission (1): Have fifty players clear 'the legend of sword and fairy' without the host's guidance or game guides (Current progress: 0/50)."
"Mission (2):??? (Appears after completing Mission (1))."
"Time Limit: Three months. Reward: Three random new games."
