My Farm System: Reaching The Top In The Parallel Earth!-Chapter 212 212
Dang... dang... dang...
In the Waterside Tribe, tens of tribesmen could be seen plowing the lands. On their hands were wooden hoes that they created just recently to help them break down the soil
Normal wood would break easily when used to strike the ground but not the wood used to create the hoes
These hoes came from a tree famous for its durability and Rezen also used some tricks to ensure that the hoes would be more than durable enough to turn a small part of the forest into a farmland
The forest was not a perfect place to create a farm but it was better than nothing. Not to mention, since wild potatoes already grew on the forest's soil, by breaking and softening the ground, the potatoes would definitely be able to grow better than before
The potatoes could already thrive on their own what more if humans consciously plant and nourish them, right?
Fortunately, basically, everyone in the tribe experienced physical hardships and their physical attributes are not bad
On average, their physical strength and stamina are definitely way better compared to that of an earthling
After all, on earth, humans don't struggle as much. They are the race that dominated the realm unlike the Savage Beast Realm where most humans struggled
Even the disabled depending on their condition could still plow the land perfectly 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖
There were even some tribesmen that have missing legs sitting down while striking the ground with their hoes. There were also those that only has one hand or a tribesman that is blind in one or both eyes
Despite their disabilities, they still worked and none of them made a complaint. They are basically just mouths that the tribe feeds and they are ashamed of their inability to do anything to help
Now that there was something that they could do, they are more than willing to do it even if it was hard labor
Aside from the old, disabled, and children, the free healthy magic apprentices also help
With the help of magic, creating a farm was easy considering that the area was not that large
If there was a waterway system installed on the tribe, this farm would become even great
Unfortunately, despite the tribe's name, they are actually not near a river or other large bodies of water
Maybe in the past, they are actually living near a river but since they change their living spaces from time to time, the situation turned into this
Water could be created using magic and they don't have to worry about that. As such, there was no need for them to settle near a river
The tribesmen worked hard to create the farm and soon, Rezen judged that it was ready
Anyway, Rezen is no professional. All he knows is that the potatoes' roots could absorb more nutrients if the soil was looser, resulting in a better harvest
The potatoes could grow on their own in this forest and what Rezen had the tribe was merely to provide some support to the potatoes' growth
As such, in just a day thanks to the tribesmen's stamina and magic, the farm is created
The 'farm' was divided into tens of sections and each section had a space of a hundred square meters or less
Considering that a square meter of land could grow an average of 3.5 kilograms of potatoes per square meter, this big of a land is considerable
This much could definitely sustain the tribe and they wouldn't need to worry about how they could feed the whole tribe
The tribesmen are really hard-working as after making the farm, they immediately decided to start planting the potato seeds
The potatoes that the tribes planted are those that already sprouted. They cut the potatoes into smaller pieces as a single potato could have more than one 'eye' and planting a whole potato would be detrimental as it would be too crowded
With Rezen's guidance, the tribesmen that never experienced farming before started planting potatoes
While the tribe is working hard, this is a good chance for Rezen to further whitewash his image
Despite not recovering from his injuries yet, he decided to help in planting the potatoes despite the tribesmen asking him to leave it to their hands
The tribesmen's goodwill might not be useful in a life or death situation but at other times, the more they are kind to Rezen, the better
As such, Rezen also took some seeds potatoes with him and started planting them on the soil
Using his bare hand, he dug a hole in the loosened soil and placed a seed potato inside before covering it with soil
"Master, try letting the seed absorb your mana"
Suddenly, while Rezen was busy farming, he heard Ivy's seemingly magnetic voice in his head causing him to raise his brows
"Let it absorb my mana?" Rezen muttered but he knew that Ivy and its creator also needed Rezen to grow. He doesn't think that Ivy's suggestion would be harmful to him
With that in mind, Rezen closed his eyes. Due to the influence of the laws of the earth realm, it was hard for him to mobilize his own mana
Apprentice Mages 'communicates' with the universe using magic circles and Rezen's connection with the universe is in shambles thanks to the earth realm's influence
However, his mana is still his own mana.
He could still control his own mana albeit it was also under the realm's influence
In the past, Rezen could easily use his mana but now, he has to maintain focus if he wants to control them
Despite the hardships, Rezen still managed to summon his mana and a single strand of mana came out of his finger
Under his control, the thread of mana entered the ground before being absorbed by the seed potato
Rezen continue to maintain the thread by providing more mana and soon, he was given quite a shock
From the soil, a green and healthy stem poked out and the more mana Rezen used on the potato, the bigger the stem and leaves grew
"Gasp!"
"What is that?"
"Can anyone tell me what the healer is doing?"
The farm is a novelty and a new concept to the tribesmen, as such, it gathered a lot of attention and audiences
What Rezen has done didn't escape their eyes especially because most of them are worried about his wellbeing
Many of them have watched Rezen plant a seed that grew almost immediately right after and his action surprised all of them
Because of the tribe's reaction, Rezen's focus faltered and the thread of mana snapped
However, despite that, the potato stem and leaves were still there
"T-this..." Rezen muttered
Back on earth, there were nature-type spells that could easily grow large trees but they are done using magic circles. Not to mention, those trees are also not permanent
Rezen did not utilize a magic circle and he instinctively knew that the potato that grew fast using his mana wouldn't vanish
He doesn't know what exactly happened
"The farm right now is just inside Master's elixir field and that would change in the future. The deeper the connection that Master has with the farm, the more blessed Master would be"
"Right now, just by using mana, Master could expedite the growing time of normal plants. Please remember that Master might not realize it but Master's mana is no normal mana, your mana is special"
Ivy's voice once again rang inside Rezen's head to explain what just happened
"My mana is special?" Rezen thought while staring at the plant in front of him
Ivy said that right now, he could expedite the growth rate of normal plants would that change in the future? Would there be a day when high-ranking Spirit Plants could be grown by him in a short period of time just by using his mana?
Could Rezen replicate what the farm could do using his mana?
In the past, he could only grow Spirit Plants on the farm but if he improved further, is it possible for him to farm outside of the farm while achieving similar results?
Broken... this cheat is really broken and Rezen can't wait for himself to grow even further
"Rezen, what did you do?" The Chief that was also supervising the farm's creation approached and asked Rezen the important question
"I know that there are mages that could make plants grow in an instant but they are not edible. Just what have you done?"
The Chief might be a member of a small and weak Waterside Tribe but she seems pretty knowledgeable
She knew that what Rezen did was far from normal. Water made from magic is drinkable as the drinkable water is not created out of thin air
There is water vapor in the surroundings and magic could be used to gather them. That's how the mechanism works but the mechanism of plants is an entirely different matter
The Chief cannot fathom just how Rezen was able to accomplish what he did
