I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

“Shaman, why are you pulling up the sweet potatoes? Are they spoiled?” Yu Ying curiously asked. She had been restraining herself from pulling them up. So, she was surprised to see the Shaman doing so now.

“I want to see how they’ve grown. It’s been many days, they might actually be ready to eat.” Su Bai said.

“Can we eat them?” Yu Ying perked up, her pink eyes widening.

She was already imagining eating them. She was still savouring the memory of the sweet potatoes from last time.

The taste had been so delicious that she was still craving it.

“Haha… if they’re ripe we can eat them, but if not, then we’ll have to wait.” Su Bai laughed.

He had not expected the fox eared girl to still be savouring the roasted sweet potatoes, though they were indeed delicious. [I guess sometimes, after eating too many delicacies, having some roasted sweet potatoes could provide a unique sense of satisfaction.]

“En!” Yu Ying nodded eagerly, hoping the sweet potatoes would be ripe.

Su Bai used wooden sticks to dig up the deeply buried sweet potatoes. As he pulled up the plants, the soil was pushed aside.

What appeared was a string of six sweet potatoes, not very large, about the size of a child’s palm.

This size was considered small, as sweet potatoes normally grew to the size of an adult’s palm.

“Shaman, how are they? Are they ripe? Can we eat them?” Yu Ying asked expectantly.

Su Bai shook his head, placing them on the ground, saying, “Not yet, they’re still not ready.”

These sweet potatoes were too small. If the Tribe was in their old area, according to the previous growth timeline, these potatoes should be much larger by now.

Unexpectedly, after moving back to the Ancestral Land, their growth rate had returned to normal, which was quite frustrating.

“Ah! I thought we could eat them…” Yu Ying’s pink fox tail drooped.

She had already been imagining eating sweet potatoes, Hearing that they were not ready left her disappointed.

“But we should be able to eat them really soon.” Su Bai smiled, preparing to test the Growth Acceleration Skill.

“We can eat them soon? They’ll grow bigger soon?” Yu Ying asked in shock.

But she shook her head, doubting this was possible – how could they grow bigger so quickly after being pulled out?

“Haha… with my Shaman Technique.” Su Bai was amused by how cute she was.

“With Shaman Technique? There’s a Shaman Technique that can make them bigger?” Yu Ying doubted her ears.

Su Bai did not speak, he just smiled and began drawing in the air.

After a minute, his hands emitted a faint purple light that enveloped the sweet potato plant.

Yu Ying’s pink eyes widened in surprise as she asked, “Is this a new Shaman Technique?”

“Yes, one that can accelerate plant growth,” Su Bai nodded.

As he finished speaking, the purple light began dissipating, and the child-palm-sized sweet potatoes grew much larger.

They visibly increased in size, becoming considerably larger than an adult’s palm.

Yu Ying stared in astonishment at the sweet potatoes, completely amazed.

She covered her mouth, momentarily unable to believe what she was seeing, though it was happening right before her eyes.

“Alright, these can be roasted now, all six of them.” Su Bai smiled.

“Great! We have sweet potatoes to eat again!” Yu Ying’s pink fox tail wagged continuously in joy. She examined the sweet potatoes, still hardly believing they were real.

[The Growth Acceleration Skill works well. The growth rate is so fast, it’s visible, and it doesn’t use much Shaman Power.] Su Bai mused. He was quite satisfied with this Skill. It was truly extremely effective.

Su Bai nodded contentedly, then mentally summoned the Attribute Panel.

[Seems like the Growth Acceleration Skill works the same way as the Curing Skill. It is pretty much one exp for each time it has been applied.] Su Bai thought to himself.

Now, he wondered how many times it could be used in a day.

[System, how many times per day can the Growth Acceleration Skill be used?] Su Bai asked.

[Host, it can be used ten times per day, and each use affects only one plant.] The System responded.

Su Bai nodded thoughtfully, [Ten times a day? That’s rather few…]

“Shaman, what are you thinking about?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

The fox eared girl noticed the Shaman deep in thought, staring at the sweet potatoes.

“Nothing.” Su Bai straightened up.

Looking at the field of sweet potatoes, he began gathering Shaman Power, planning to use the technique on all of them.

“Shaman, are you going to use that Shaman Technique on this whole field?” Yu Ying asked. She could tell from his contemplative look that he was preparing to use the Shaman Technique.

“Yes, but I can’t do the entire field at once, only a small portion of the field,” Su Bai nodded.

Yu Ying nodded thoughtfully, a little down, “Only a small portion? That’s a shame.”

Su Bai began drawing Shaman Runes. After a minute, his hands emitted purple light.

The light instantly enveloped nine sweet potato plants before him, completely covering them.

Yu Ying’s pink eyes widened in surprise, still amazed despite having seen it before. Her pink tail swayed as she hoped she could learn this Shaman Technique too.

Minutes later, the purple light dissipated, and the sweet potatoes visibly enlarged. The previously short vines grew longer, and the leaves became a deeper green.

“They really got much bigger!” Yu Ying exclaimed in shock.

“Let’s have someone pull them up to see,” Su Bai instructed.

Silavin: Changing Curing Technique to Curing Skill to keep things consistent.
