Chapter 56: Improving Work Efficiency
Bai Feng thought for a moment and began to try using Golden Finger Energy to purify the energy of the Dragon Eye Fruit Tree.
As more and more Golden Finger Energy entered the Dragon Eye Fruit Tree's body, Bai Feng's brow furrowed tighter and tighter. This was because the Dragon Eye Fruit Tree's Arbor Diagram was truly too complex. Purifying it little by little like this, he still didn't know how long it would take for it to reach the standard of an ordinary Fruit Tree.
At this moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. What would happen if he tried using Psychic to guide the Golden Finger Energy to work? Would the work efficiency be a bit higher?
Thinking this way, Bai Feng began to try using Psychic to guide the Golden Finger Energy. He recalled the secret to controlling Psychic Energy that Caitlin had taught him, and little by little, he attached Psychic Energy to the Golden Finger Energy.
In theory, it was very simple, but in practice, it was fraught with difficulty. Golden Finger Energy was just a mass of energy, not a physical object, so controlling it was even more difficult than controlling a physical object.
Bai Feng closed his eyes and concentrated intently, outputting Psychic Energy outwards. After a long time, he finally succeeded in attaching a trace of Psychic Energy to the Golden Finger Energy. By this time, he was already covered in sweat.
If not for Caitlin's unreserved teaching, Bai Feng felt that he probably wouldn't have been able to figure out such a convenient method of control for a long time.
With the initial success, things became much smoother for Bai Feng afterwards. As time passed, more and more Psychic Energy was attached by him to the Golden Finger Energy.
Next, Bai Feng began to try splitting the Psychic Energy and Golden Finger Energy. He split the Psychic Energy into two strands, then used the two strands of Psychic Energy to control two strands of Golden Finger Energy to move around within the Dragon Eye Fruit Tree's Arbor Diagram, and then purify the energy inside it.
At first, it was very difficult for Bai Feng to even control two strands of Golden Finger Energy to move simultaneously, let alone use them to purify the Dragon Eye Fruit Tree's energy.
But Bai Feng refused to give up. While recalling Caitlin's teachings to him, he diligently controlled the Golden Finger Energy, hoping they would act according to his thoughts.
Time passed minute by minute. Bai Feng stood beside the Dragon Eye Fruit Tree without moving.
Dongyu and Caicaizi, who had finished working and returned from the Orchard, saw Bai Feng standing there motionless and wondered what was wrong.
"Brother Bai Feng..."
Caicaizi was about to step forward and speak to Bai Feng, but was pulled back by Dongyu. Seeing Caicaizi look at him confusedly, he shook his head and said, "Bai Feng is probably busy with something. We shouldn't disturb him."
Hearing this, Caicaizi quickly covered her mouth, then pulled Dongyu and left stealthily.
Finally, after a long period of concentration, Bai Feng successfully achieved free control of the Golden Finger Energy using Psychic Energy. He began to continue splitting the Psychic Energy, from two strands to four strands, and then from four strands to eight strands.
The more strands of Psychic Energy were split, the greater the pressure Bai Feng felt controlling them.
He still wanted to continue splitting, but unfortunately, the Psychic Energy and Golden Finger Energy were currently still too weak. Splitting into eight strands was already his current limit.
Bai Feng controlled the eight strands of Golden Finger Energy, working in eight directions, and began to sort, purify, and compress the energy within the Dragon Eye Fruit Tree's Arbor Diagram. Work efficiency instantly increased to eight times what it was before.
Having such high work efficiency for the first time, Bai Feng tirelessly helped the Dragon Eye Fruit Tree purify its energy. For a while, he actually forgot the time until he suddenly felt dizzy and had to stop.
He held onto the Dragon Eye Fruit Tree's trunk, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground. This was the aftereffect of excessive Psychic Energy consumption.
Bai Ye, who had returned from the Yard, just happened to see this scene. It quickly ran over, helped Bai Feng up, and asked with concern:
"What's wrong? Sweetheart, are you okay?"
Bai Feng waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, just excessive Psychic Energy consumption. I'm a bit dizzy."
"You scared me to death." Hearing this, Bai Ye let out a long sigh of relief, helped Bai Feng sit down on a nearby stone.
Looking at Bai Ye, Bai Feng suddenly thought of another idea. He could perform a Psychic Link with Bai Ye. If, while sorting and purifying the Dragon Eye Fruit Tree, he borrowed Bai Ye's Psychic Energy, he wondered if he could work a bit longer?
Bai Ye could use his Psychic Energy to battle, so correspondingly, he should also be able to borrow Bai Ye's Psychic Energy to work.
However, Bai Feng wasn't in a hurry to experiment. At this moment, his head was still dizzy. He would wait until he recovered in a while before doing so.
After a while, Bai Feng's dizziness symptoms gradually disappeared, and his Psychic Energy also returned to normal levels. So he said to Bai Ye:
"Mom, please do me a favor and perform a Psychic Link with me. I want to try if this can extend my working time."
Bai Ye agreed without a second thought. It extended its hand towards Bai Feng, and after Bai Feng held it, the mother and son instantly established a Psychic Link.
A Psychic Link was a very strange feeling. Bai Feng didn't know what his Mom was feeling, but at this moment, he felt that he and his Mom seemed to be telepathically connected. He could even sometimes vaguely sense some thoughts his Mom unintentionally revealed.
For example, Sweetheart is really handsome!
With the establishment of the Psychic Link, Bai Feng discovered his own Psychic Energy had indeed become much stronger. Next, he began to split his Psychic Energy.
With the amplification from Bai Ye's Psychic Energy, Bai Feng directly split the original eight strands of Psychic Energy into sixteen strands.
However, although the number of Psychic Energy strands that could be split doubled, the number Bai Feng could control could only reach twelve strands. No matter how hard he tried, the remaining four strands simply wouldn't obey.
It seems his control over Psychic Energy was still too weak. He still needed to continue practicing.
Having no other choice, Bai Feng had to give up control over the remaining four strands of Psychic Energy and refuse them into the other twelve strands, focusing only on controlling the twelve strands to work.
With twelve strands of Psychic Energy working simultaneously, not only did work efficiency greatly increase, but Bai Feng could also persist for a longer time.
Time passed minute by minute. It wasn't until it was almost dark that Bai Feng slowly opened his eyes. During this time, the Pokémon and the children did not come to disturb him.
Just as Bai Feng was delighted with this time's gain, he suddenly heard Bai Ye let out a cry of surprise.
"What's wrong, Mom? Is something wrong?" Bai Feng asked with an anxious expression. He thought his Psychic Link with Bai Ye had caused the other party some bad effect.
Immediately, he heard Bai Ye exclaim happily that its Psychic Energy seemed to have increased a little. Although it was only a little bit, Bai Ye still keenly noticed it.
"Using a Psychic Link to work can also enhance Psychic Energy?"
Hearing this, Bai Feng also quickly checked his own Psychic Energy. Immediately, he also surprisingly discovered that his own Psychic Energy had also increased by a tiny bit.
The extent of the increase in one go could reach a level where it could be perceived. This was already very astonishing. Although it was only a little bit at a time, if it increased this much every day, wouldn't they be progressing incredibly fast?
So was this due to the Psychic Link, or due to Bai Feng's Golden Finger, or perhaps Bai Feng's or Bai Ye's Psychic Energy had some special quality?
For a moment, Bai Feng was a bit confused.
However, this was a good thing. While working, he could also achieve the effect of cultivation. Wasn't this killing two birds with one stone?
Bai Feng became even more excited.
