Chapter 1: The Minister of Agriculture
In the fifteenth year of Jingxin, at the end of May, in the eastern suburbs of Gucheng.

Under the scorching sun and sweating profusely, Zhao Xing bent over and planted the seedlings into the paddy field.

Every time he planted rice, rows of small numbers appeared next to it.

[Successfully planted a seedling, basic cultivation proficiency +1]

[Successfully planted a seedling, basic cultivation proficiency +1]

[Successfully planted a seedling, basic cultivation proficiency +1]

……

[Basic cultivation has reached the maximum level, and you have mastered the primary spell 'Thriving Growth']

【Thriving Growth: Primary Spell】

[Progress: (1/9999)]

【Effect: Accelerate nutrient absorption and shorten the time it takes for plants to mature. 】

After working for another quarter of an hour, Zhao Xing was already sweating profusely, so he went to the edge of the field to replenish water.

However, the sun was scorching and I couldn't stop the burning restlessness in my heart.

So he pointed at the sky.

"Om~"

A golden light emerged from the fingertips and dissipated about three or four meters above the head.

Then a gray cloud appeared and hovered above his head.

[You cast the spell 'Moving Clouds'. This spell triggers the blessing of luck, and its effectiveness is doubled. The moving clouds are ten meters long.]

[Primary spell 'Cloud Walking' proficiency +2]

"Phew, this is much more comfortable."

The clouds blocked the sunlight, like a parasol, shrouding Zhao Xing in shadow.

As Zhao Xing left, the clouds above his head moved as well.

The eastern suburbs of Gu County are public fields of the government, which are under the charge of the Ministry of Agriculture. Part of the food, clothing and other expenses of officials come from here.

As Grain in Ear approaches, small agricultural officials like Zhao Xing can be found everywhere in the eastern suburbs.

Because if you don't plant during Grain in Ear, it will be useless to plant again.

In addition, the harvest of public land is not only related to food, but also determines whether they can be converted to regular employees this year. From being a minor official with no official rank to a formal official of the Ministry of Agriculture, the treatment of the two is very different.

Since he traveled here a year ago, he found that he seemed to be in an early version of that mysterious game - in his previous life, it appeared on Earth so abruptly, without a name, with only one entrance. It seemed like a real world with extremely high degrees of freedom and authenticity, causing a massive sensation.

This was the period of Emperor Jing of the Zhou Dynasty, which was the heyday of the dynasty. The overall environment was relatively stable, and compared with later versions, the safety factor could almost be said to be the highest.

The good thing is that the spiritual energy has not yet fully recovered, and the combat power is not absurdly high, so there won't be a situation where some powerful person can massacre the city with a wave of his hand.

After all, he is no longer a player, and the panel doesn’t say he can be resurrected.

The disadvantage is that it is too stable and the initial identity is average. It is relatively difficult to find opportunities in the early stable social order as an NPC.

"In my previous life, I could change my job in two or three days. Now it has taken me half a year and I still don't see any hope."

"The initial identity was also average. He started out as an orphan in a charity home, and was later adopted by a wealthy family. His situation was also average."

"I heard that there was a player who was lucky in his previous life and was born into a royal family at the beginning of the game..."

"Don't think about it anymore. I'll take a break and work harder. Whether I can complete the job transfer task this year will mostly depend on the performance of this field."

Zhao Xing found a haystack, gathered some rice stalks and was about to rest, waiting for his strength to recover.

But he ran into a young man wearing a single uniform and a straw hat, waving at him from the haystack in front of him: "Brother Zhao, come over here."

Zhao Xing turned and walked forward, walking quickly towards the other person: "Zi Yu, you come to rest too?" Chen Zi Yu was also one of the minor officials of the Sinong Supervisor. During the one year of time travel, Zhao Xing was most familiar with him.

Our relationship is that of colleagues as well as classmates, because the focus at this stage is not on working but more on studying, trying to get a job as soon as possible so that we don't have to do these menial jobs anymore.

Next to him lay a young man named Qian Dong, who was also an acquaintance.

Chen Ziyu held a piece of grass in his mouth and greeted him warmly: "I just got here a while ago, brother, just lend me this cloud to cool off, there's no need to waste any more energy."

"Alright."

He nodded, the clouds above his head dispersed, and Zhao Xing lay down next to Chen Ziyu.

As soon as he lay down, he heard the other person complaining: "It's only the beginning of summer, but the weather in Gucheng is so hot. In the eastern suburbs, even the big trees have been cut down by the adults in the Sino-Agricultural Bureau. If you want to enjoy the cool, you have to rely on your own magic."

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "This is also a kind of exercise."

"It's easy to keep cool. Watch me." Qian Dong threw away the straw hat he was fanning himself with and pointed at the sky in a pretentious manner: "Wind!"

Chen Ziyu was somewhat surprised: "Brother Qian, have you already learned "The Wind Rises"? "

Qian Dong smiled evilly, picked up his straw hat again, and waved it at Chen Ziyu: "Look, isn't it coming?"

He then realized that he had been fooled by this guy, so he grabbed a handful of dry grass and scratched Qian Dong's neck:

"Qian Dong, you dare to lie to me. If you don't fan me for a quarter of an hour, I will never forgive you!"

"Oh, stop scratching me, Zi Yu, calm down, I'll just fan you."

"..."

As the two laughed and joked, the clouds above their heads swayed. Looking at this scene, Zhao Xing couldn't help but be speechless.

Can you guys not be so ambiguous in this hot weather?
Just as he was about to speak, Qian Dong spoke first: "Well, if you don't stop, Brother Zhao will scold us for being unlearned and unprofessional again."

Zhao Xing said lazily, "No, you guys continue. It's better to fight until both sides are defeated. There will be fewer people competing with me for the position of Minister of Agriculture. This year, my chances of landing will be better."

"Brother is being hermaphroditic again..."

After resting for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Xing felt that his energy was gradually recovering. He planned to take a nap for a while and continue his career change plan.

However, at this moment, the clouds above my head suddenly dissipated, and the dazzling light suddenly shone on my eyelids.

"What's wrong, Zi Yu? You didn't even tell me to remove the clouds..." Qian Dong was still complaining. Zhao Xing stood up with his elbows crossed, his eyes slightly narrowed, and looked forward.

A dark cloud that stretched for nearly a thousand meters slowly rolled in from the front. On the grain pile below the cloud, stood a tall figure.

The [Xingyun] spell is exclusive, and it was this person who broke up and absorbed Chen Ziyu's [Xingyun].

Chen Ziyu's spell was suddenly interrupted and his body was shaking. His vitality was slightly damaged due to the backlash.

"It's Li Chengfeng, the hypocrite again! Fuck you!" Chen Ziyu stared angrily at the figure on the grain pile in front of him.

Why do you call him a hypocrite?

Because Li Chengfeng's voice spread in all directions with the help of the [Wind Rising] spell.

"My fellow colleagues, you can rest under my mist. There will be a light rain in a while to wash you away."

Not only Chen Ziyu's magic was shattered, but many other people were also affected.

But he united most of the people and helped them save their energy, so many people applauded and praised Li Chengfeng for his gentlemanly demeanor.

"This person is so disgusting! He likes to show off himself on a daily basis and totally disregards other people's feelings. I once went to argue with him, and others said that I was narrow-minded and jealous of his reputation as a gentleman... I am jealous of him? Bah!" Chen Ziyu said hatefully.

Qian Dong also shook his head: "It would be fine if he was really a gentleman, but he comes from a big family, but he only hangs out with the children of rich families. He says one thing in front of people and another behind their backs. He hasn't even become a formal agriculture official yet, but his attitude is like that of a superior. It's really disgusting. If he becomes our immediate superior next year, I don't know how he will mess with the people below. Sigh..."

Zhao Xing also agreed with their views, and could only pat them on the shoulders and comfort them: "I am also unhappy with him, but complaining is useless, strength is the foundation. Work hard, and sooner or later you will slap him in the face."
