Transferring Host: Farming Village]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the reincarnation points were fully spent, the interface began to fade. The death was not unexpected, however he could not fathom that he would be reborn into a system which removed the desire to survive completely.
He had expected the destination to be a primitive world and he was right. The upgraded strength would come in handy as most of the available jobs would be manual labor.
One thing he could never stand was the feeling when he woke up and felt that he had been grinding his teeth in his sleep. It was incredibly irritating. Usually, brus.h.i.+ng his teeth helped and he had hoped that Automatic Dental Hygiene would have the same effect.
He felt fortunate that he was transferred to a farming village after buying a farming ability. Did the system recalibrate according to his abilities?
Sadly though, the world did not seem to have magic. Maybe dying would to get a better world would work. However, it was clear that wantonly dying would lead to a demented mindset so he rejected the notion.
The thatched roof disappointed him greatly. It was far too primitive and the rough clothing did not improve his mood. The shed reeked and the floor was literally dirt.
Peeved, he demanded the network tell him where he was. An interface flickered into existence to his surprise. Usually, systems in these type of stories would just ignore the host and order them to do some obnoxious task.
You are Wei, an orphan who manages everyday life in a lackl.u.s.ter manner. Your fellow villagers are indifferent to you. To make the most out of this life, the network recommends commerce
[F-Rank Quest:
Objective: Procure a farm
Reward: Soybeans and 20 points]
A very mundane task. What was worse was that he could not use the s.p.a.ce around him to start a farm so he would have to buy one. Wei just had to buy a c.r.a.ppy shed in a neighborhood of c.r.a.ppy sheds.
Venturing into the marketplace, one could tell it was bustling but it was also very generic. Vegetable stands, accessory stands, and people littered the streets while the quality products were located inside the ”high-end” stores.
Wei had managed to purchase a decrepit land deed which already had a farm setup. It cost nearly nothing but that was because the soil was terrible and vines devoured most of the property. The manager had scoffed and a.s.sumed that Wei had been successfully swindled.
[F-Rank Quest Completed:
Soybeans Acquired
20 Points Added]
”Oi Wei, we didn't know that you still had enough to buy land. Why don't you share some with us, your pals?”
The group of crooks made their way towards Wei. They had intended to a.s.sert dominance and everybody knew they were akin to robbers. They did not expect that Wei would ignore them and leave the shop though.
Chasing after Wei, they began hollering and the leader prepared to swing his fist. Before he could strike though, Wei turned around and uppercut his Adam's apple. The leader immediately knelt down and clutched his throat while displaying excruciating pain.
[Skill Intimidation Activated]
”Leave before I turn you all into fertilizer. This s.h.i.+tty farm could use it”
The group ran away while dragging their boss to everyone's surprise.
”Good work, Wei”
”They got what they deserved”
”We don't need their protection!”
The crowd began censuring the crooks but it was due to the fact that the group was similar to a gang which abused their territory while claiming that they were protecting it.
”There you are, Wei”
A female with fair skin and barely above average appearance parted the crowd. Wei was previously infatuated with her and had often explicitly showed affection. Likely fearing implications, she publicly greeted Wei.
Feigning a pout which brought forth feelings of adoration among the crowd, she said, ”You shouldn't cause so much trouble, Wei. They might return and cause more trouble”
Unlike the original Wei, he was unfazed by her facade and presence.
”Got it”
To her bewilderment, Wei left without hesitation.
If life was part of a game then being attached to a transient piece would be incredibly redundant. What was the point of romance when there was so much more in life? He began to shake as he antic.i.p.ated flying on dragons and battling mages. With so much potential excitement, he had completely disregarded the possibility of romance. Humans just weren't that interesting to him. That was why he read and gamed. The company was just something he founded to support his boredom.
4 months had pa.s.sed and everyone could tell that winter was close as the temperature began to decline. Over these 4 months, Wei single-handedly changed the village and became the most prominent member.
He sold the c.r.a.ppy shed and moved into the decrepit farm. He left the vines and weeds surrounding the property as they were great deterrents for unwanted visitors and wild animals. Tilling the soil was relatively easy with Strength C+ and Vitality B. With the Material Auxiliary Ability, the soil became extremely fertile despite not being arable for decades.
Through various experiments with various plants and even trees, he had concluded that the soil accelerated the rate of growth by an insane amount. He even got a tree to bear fruit in 2 months. If other people discovered this soil, they would call it a miracle and maybe even a national treasure.
Ever since the first visit, the villagers called him Master Wei, a man who conquered nature and brought forth the tidings of the earth, The fact that he could live in a place teeming with thorns and vines convinced them of this.
