59: Chapter 59 Divine Messenger
No harvest!
Yang Hao, Kaven, and even all the working villagers realized this—in fact, they had realized it long ago.
However, not a single person expressed any dissatisfaction. Although everyone was exhausted to the point of death that day, they still bore it willingly; this was definitely not because they feared Yang Hao's use of force.
They were not fools.
Seeing the sight of those wheat seedlings rising every second today, even if there was no harvest, they still understood.
No harvest today did not mean there would be none tomorrow.
What was a day's exhaustion with no harvest? No matter how tired they were, it was nothing.
The truly terrifying thing was being busy for a whole year without any harvest.
The truly terrifying thing was being hungry after a year of work, and even the next year... oh no, there would be no next year.
That feeling of hunger, like a fire burning in the stomach, even exchanging children to eat, or the elderly starving themselves to death... that was an endless despair where death was actually a form of relief.
A single day's labor could make wheat seedlings mature in a day?
Compared to such a miracle, what did one day of work matter?
At this moment, they were suddenly a bit fearful—fearful that their previous offenses might cause this Divine Envoy to give up on them and abandon them.
Suddenly, several people who realized this knelt down in unison, kowtowing continuously to Yang Hao.
"Divine Envoy, we were wrong, we were wrong! Please forgive our crimes."
They kowtowed incessantly; seeing this scene, the others also immediately understood.
Suddenly, Kaven knelt and kowtowed to Yang Hao.
"My Lord, please forgive my poor management."
After Kaven finished speaking, he looked back at the four kneeling people and spoke to the others expressionlessly.
"Skin them and light them as sky lanterns to atone for their sins to My Lord."
As his words fell, the others immediately walked toward the four with fierce gazes.
The four stiffened, not daring to resist, sobbing and trembling as they prostrated themselves on the ground.
At this moment, Yang Hao was a god.
Yang Hao, who was observing the wheat field, was interrupted; he frowned slightly and looked back.
"What are you all shouting about?"
Seeing this scene, Yang Hao, who felt a visceral discomfort, couldn't help but want to scold Kaven; however, recalling the situation Kaven was currently facing, he paused and held back.
Seeing everyone looking over, Yang Hao pointed to the third acre of wheat on the right.
"If you have the time, go harvest that acre of wheat; there is some harvest over there.
Quickly harvest it and weigh it to see how heavy it is. Also, who is responsible for that field? What fertilizer was used?"
As his words fell, the four kneeling on the ground reacted instantly, grabbing their sickles and rushing toward that acre of wheat like madmen to harvest it.
Others also hurriedly followed suit upon hearing this; only the two villagers responsible for that acre of wheat ran to Yang Hao, excited and agitated.
Yang Hao had Yang Chong take charge of recording the fertilizer usage and corresponding care conditions, while he called Kaven aside to speak.
"My Lord."
Kaven looked at Yang Hao with respect and immense reverence; at this moment, Yang Hao's status in his heart rose infinitely, second only to Mo Bai.
Yang Hao was silent for a moment, took a bite of a wild fruit, and chewed, feeling the sense of clarity in his spirit brought by the bitterness. Usually shy, he didn't know how to speak for a while, only speaking after a long silence.
"Human life should not be trampled upon."
"We protect you only because life is worthy of respect; the services you provide are only secondary.
This is not enough to match the value of our protection."
Kaven was slightly stunned, and then he heard Yang Hao continue.
"Humans should be equal; this is the education that I, Mo Bai, and all of them received since childhood, and the world we come from is the same.
So we will protect you and save you simply because of our reverence for life, and nothing more."
Looking at Yang Hao's departing back, Kaven was slightly stunned.
Behind Yang Hao, he seemed to see the reflection of an incredibly powerful, grand, and prosperous pure land of the gods.
Hearing the words from Yang Hao's mouth, Kaven couldn't help but murmur.
"What... what a powerful and beautiful world this must be? What a powerful nation."
A hint of longing couldn't help but appear in Kaven's eyes, but at this moment, he also understood.
He had to change his way of thinking and acting; otherwise, no matter what, he would inevitably be completely abandoned by these children of the gods.
This weather-beaten old man looked at the people harvesting the wheat field with his cloudy eyes.
Seeing the era changing abruptly, although this old man had never undergone any systematic learning and was illiterate, he still made a decision in his heart at this moment.
Change!
Keep up closely with the Divine Envoy's footsteps!
Yes, from this moment on, Mo Bai and Yang Hao were absolute Divine Envoys in Kaven's eyes!
Besides gods, who else could make wheat seedlings mature within a day and still have a harvest?
On the other side, Yang Hao didn't care what Kaven was thinking.
He was shy, but he wasn't a fool.
If, under their protection, Kaven abused his power and treated human life like grass, then they would lose their value in being protected.
At least for Kaven, that was the case.
Even if it were Mo Bai protecting them, it would be the same; he would naturally advise Mo Bai at that time and then take action himself.
He was currently staring at the collected data, thinking silently.
"The wheat fields with a harvest had the highest water supply and fertilizer amount.
So it can basically be confirmed that wheat forced to grow with the Growth Spell can have a normal harvest, as long as the water and fertilizer supply are normal.
Hmm, the growth period is condensed, but the required water and fertilizer won't disappear; the wheat harvest won't appear out of thin air.
This is very much in line with the law of conservation."
Yang Hao's fingers lightly tapped his knee as he thought.
"Next is heavy fertilization and timely watering; also, what kind of fertilizer needs to be supplemented requires testing to avoid wasted effort.
Also, regarding light intensity..."
Pondering slightly, Yang Hao saw that the wheat fields had all been harvested and immediately waved his hand.
"Everyone go back and rest; the experiment will continue at eight tomorrow morning."
"Yang Chong, Lu Zheng, let's go back and summarize the data."
As his words fell, Yang Hao directly led the others to Mo Bai's place to get the data and start reporting; after some discussion, they left to hold a small meeting and create the experimental plan for the next day.
They didn't need sleep either.
Additionally, they were incredibly excited at this moment, partly because of today's experimental results.
To the villagers, it looked like a miracle; although they appeared calm and unruffled on the surface, that was only because their 'idol baggage' was in full effect in front of the villagers.
They were also conducting such a large-scale Growth Spell experiment for the first time.
They were also very curious.
They had been holding it in just now, but now they had to discuss it thoroughly.
Besides this point, there was another reason for their excitement.
That was a concept Mo Bai had just proposed to them.
"You are using wheat to verify the Growth Formation, completing one growth cycle in a day.
In that case, can you also use this method to carry out high-yield hybrid selection and breeding?
In the real world, hybrid selection takes half a year for one experiment, but you can complete it in a day.
Why not select the best, or cultivate the best wheat variety?"
