By this time, it was already around nine in the morning. He began by mastering the Weeding II skill, which took him 7 minutes to master. It contained just better and improved skills in weeding. Circus was glad, knowing it would help him weed better than the previous time. Five skill points were used to master it.

He proceeded to enter his dwelling, specifically the bunker, and emerged with a hoe, an axe, and a knife. With these tools in hand, he began his weeding task. As he diligently cleared away the tall grass and shrubs, birds and other small creatures scurried away to safety. He even managed to capture a few birds.

"Today, I shall feast on meat!"

A smile covered his face as he securely placed the captured birds in a designated area where they could not escape, in a tin that also contained bird eggs. He carefully covered the tin and resumed his work.

Furthermore, he successfully eliminated two snakes that attempted to strike him. It seemed as though the heavens were always watching over humanity, even in their most destitute state. Taking a break for an hour, he requested the system to measure the area he had previously weeded and where crops were currently growing, meaning the entire area without weeds was to be measured.

[The entire area measures 82 square meters.]

"Oh dear, yesterday I managed to weed an area of 22 square meters, but I was incredibly exhausted. However, today I successfully weeded an additional 60 square meters, and I still have the energy to spare. Furthermore, the area I weeded today is much clearer compared to yesterday's, which had a significant amount of remaining weeds and required more effort to make it clear."

[You have now acquired advanced weeding skills, which are superior and more refined than the basic weeding skills. Additionally, you have gained extra strength.]

The system provided an explanation.

"I understand completely, my friend. Thank you."

He responded with a smile, wiping the sweat off his face with a cloth. Taking a sip of water from his waterskin, he resumed his work. This time, he was preparing the land for cultivation. He proceeded to level the ground and create 12 beds, along with three additional nurseries.

Each bed had dimensions of 2 meters by 1 meter, just like the initial four beds. However, the nurseries differed in size, measuring 2 meters by 1 meter, unlike the first two nursery beds, which were 1 meter by 0.5 meters. As he worked, he carefully measured and marked the dimensions for each bed and nursery, ensuring precision in his preparations. He knew that proper spacing and size would be crucial for the successful growth of his crops.

He fetched two barrels of water, utilizing all of it to moisten the beds. He knew that providing adequate water was essential for the healthy development of his plants.

"Now it's time to plant something different. Let me check the offerings in the system's store."

Ding!

"See you soon, mate."

Within the store, he discovered onions and spinach. Both were available for purchase at a rate of 1 Great coin per 10 seeds. Ten was the possible minimum amount of seeds the system could sell. He decided to buy 100 onion seeds for 10 Great coins and 100 spinach seeds for 10 Great coins.

He proceeded to sow 100 onion seeds in one nursery and 100 seeds in another nursery. Three nurseries remained: one new 2m by 1m nursery and two 1m by 0.5m nurseries, where he had initially planted lettuce and tomatoes. He retrieved 50 lettuce seeds from the system and sowed them in one of the 1m by 0.5m nurseries, while the other nursery was occupied by 50 tomato seeds. One 2m by 1m nursery was left unused.

It was now time to water the sown seeds with a pink liquid. He fetched another barrel of water and poured some of it into an empty barrel, making it a total of 100. He then mixed the pink liquid with the water in the barrel, ensuring that it was well-distributed.

[The land has already been saturated with an ample amount of pink liquid!]

[Note that when pink liquid has been used on land and the crops have been removed before two months, the pink liquid will still retain its potency, allowing for the cultivation of new crops. However, the effectiveness of the pink liquid may diminish depending on the duration for which the initial crops have been on the land.]

"Haha, I must say, I just removed the previous crops this morning. I am confident that there will be no discernible variance in terms of the pink liquid's effectiveness."

After applying the pink liquid to the two recently prepared nursery beds, a small quantity of pink liquid remained in the watering can. This residual liquid was promptly returned to the barrel where the other pink liquid was stored, which was stored in the bunker for future use.

He learned from the system that pink liquid never expired and could be stored for an indefinite period of time without losing its effectiveness. This knowledge reassured him that he could continue using the pink liquid in his farming practices without any concerns about its potency or quality deteriorating over time.

"I’m done; now I can see those guys in the system."

He found two notifications and immediately opened them.

[SIDE QUEST 2 completed!]

[Congratulations! You’ve been rewarded with 5 EXP & 2 Great coins.]

[Confirm to collect the rewards.]

[SIDE QUEST 1 completed!]

[Congratulations! You’ve been rewarded with 15 EXP & 7 Great coins.]

[Confirm to collect the rewards.]

"I CONFIRM THE REWARDS."

When he saw time in the system, he was astounded. It was already three in the afternoon. He didn’t eat anything but didn’t feel hungry the entire time. That was until the realization.

"Ive been working since morning and have eaten nothing. Isn’t this self-abuse?"

He had been working diligently since morning without taking a break or having a meal. He couldn't help but wonder if this was a form of self-abuse, neglecting his own basic needs.

In order to satisfy his hunger, Circus gathered some sticks and weeds to start a fire. He resorted to the traditional method of creating fire by striking stones together, and soon enough, a fire was ablaze. This method was commonly used by those who were ordinary. Unlike them, the awakened individuals had the power to conjure fire out of thin air and create ice to freeze their food out of nothing. This power was a testament to their heightened spiritual connection and control over the elements.

  • Chap 13 Discovery.

    An onion like plant 5 metres in front was highlighted. He got up and approached it."What can a plant named Ioly do? What makes it a treasure?" Circus asked doubtfully while approaching the plant.He had never heard about the plant named Ioly and had never seen the highlighted plant ahead of him before. It looked like an onion, was about half metre tall, and had yellow wheat like flowers. Nevertheless, vast expanses of forests and thickets conceal countless varieties of plants and trees that remain unknown to mankind.[The Ioly plant contains stamine, which is a raw form of stamina.]"Are you suggesting that consuming it will provide me with energy?" He asked in disbelief.This was exactly what he needed.[You’re right, sir. The plant’s juice is stamine.]Circus plucked some of its long and fat leaves. A pleasant fragrance rushed into his nostrils. He put the leaf into his mouth and chewed slowly, wondering if it was going to taste like onion leaves or something entirely different.The

  • Chap 12 Have a Nice Journey.

    "Have a nice journey, sir." The older man uttered when Circus was leaving with the cart and the animals."You too." He waved at them, and they waved back at him."That young man is definitely from Olese." The younger man said."I know. How can he be from these villages?"Besides all that, Circus still looked prestigious despite living in poor conditions in the bunker and the heavy work he was doing.Circus proceeded to traverse the market, leading the bulls along. He acquired five sacks of rice for one gold coin, as well as various household furnishings, including pots, plates, mats, benches, cups, and other items. Additionally, he purchased some meat. Upon tallying his expenses, he discovered that he had spent a total of two gold coins, which increased to six gold coins when accounting for the cart and animals.He returned to his home in the woods. After unloading everything and packing them into the bunker, he took the two 1000-litre tanks on the cart and left to draw water. The hors

  • Chap 11

    He embarked on a journey towards the closest village and enjoyed his breakfast en route. The morning air was crisp as he walked along the winding path, taking in the picturesque scenery that surrounded him. The sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling provided a soothing soundtrack to his adventure.He reached the village after an hour and inquired about the route to the village market. The market, however, did not possess the grandeur and prominence of the market in Olese City. In fact, when compared to the market in Oden City, it was significantly inferior, surpassing it by more than a hundredfold.The majority of its merchandise consisted of agricultural goods due to the fact that the majority of the population engaged in farming. In fact, ordinary people were mostly involved in farming. His objective was to acquire a cart, a few oxen, and provisions. It didn't take much time for him to come across an individual selling the items he needed in a shed. The shed was tucked away in a

  • Chap 10 Going Well.

    Despite his hunger, Circus remained calm and composed. He had managed to catch three birds, each about the size of a pigeon, and he prepared them to be fried. Since there were no pots available in the bunker, he used a tin to fry the birds. Circus skillfully placed the tin over the fire, watching as the flames danced beneath it. The sizzling sound of the birds cooking filled the air, and he patiently waited for them to turn golden brown.Finally, he sat down to enjoy a delicious meal consisting of the fried birds, bread, and wine. He saved some of the meat for his supper later. The wine had a slight intoxicating effect on him, causing him to fall into a deep sleep right then and there. When he woke up, it was already 6 in the evening. Realizing the time, he quickly packed his belongings, took a quick bath, and locked himself inside the bunker.Inside the bunker, he had his supper and indulged in more wine, which eventually led him into a deep slumber. Rest was exactly what he needed a
