I guess this is the effects of mental stats+parental instincts; I guess the same thing happened with Peters Mom. Weird that both times the dad is the one with a mental/soul dump stat.

I'd worked our assigned eight hours, so why did I get extra experience? Huh. Interesting. > "Job-based experience like this is boosted by your relevant skills. Twenty-five percent per stage." > So if I maxed out [Farming], I'd get double experience? So skills max out at stage 5, then? > If I'd spent one of my extra two points, I'd have levelled up again today, and could have maxed out [Farming] a mere two-and-a-half days after unlocking my System. A normal person would have taken nearly seventy. Well, I've got some math to do here, but it's not gonna happen tonight. > Why've you gone pale?" asked Dad. > Mum sighed. "Let me guess: Simon." > I firmly kept my mouth shut. > "Thought so," continued Mum. "Another guess, then; he hasn't told his parents because he doesn't think they'll approve." > I clamped a hand over my mouth. How was she even doing that?! LUL > Mum had obviously worked out exactly what we were planning, somehow. I'd heard Dad talk about magical mum senses before. Maybe it was a Skill rather than a mere skill, but if so, I wished she'd spent the points on [Cooking] instead. Heh. > If you work the fields each day, you'll be level seven at minimum by the time you enter the dungeon. That's fourteen in every Stat. Simon will be level two. More math I don't feel like checking right now. > "So, what? You think I should convince Simon to drop out?" > "He obviously hasn't had this conversation with his parents. But that's part of what concerns me. If he's prepared to do something as desperate as throw himself into a dungeon without acquiring relevant information or consent first, then what else might he do to get his citizenship? Sell information, perhaps?" Oh, my. That sounds like foreshadowing. > "Is it bad that I have more doubts about this plan now than before you managed to convince your mother?" LUL > Well, whatever. I suspect that even if I tried to stop you, you'd just run off on your own." > "That is not a good reason to go along with him," chastised Mum. > "No, but you giving the go-ahead is." > Mum peered. "That's a rather cunning trap, coming from you." > "Thank you very much. Despite opinions to the contrary, I do try." LOL > Far from the first day of fieldwork, when time had flown by, it felt like I was spending forty-eight hours a day pulling up weeds. LUL > Mum had also, apparently, had a quiet word with Simon's parents at some point. Or at least, I assumed that was his reason for walking up to me in the field one day, slapping me across the face, hugging me, then walking off without uttering a single word. LUL > With my increased [Farming] stage, I'd gone beyond the level seven Mum had guessed, and had very nearly made it to the double digits. > By the end of the day, I intended there to be no 'nearly' about it. Heh. That final table seems to confirm my guess as to how experience requirements scale. It also means I'll have even more math to do tomorrow.
