3 RNG: Texan In Another World - V1.3 - Seeds (2/2)

It was really confusing that so many different energy sources existed for materialized effects, but It was the same back home. Some people have Solar, some had Generators but most of them used city power grids. Mike knew he wasn't smart enough to remember how to make electrical current, so he put the idea away quickly. When Mike looked at the book titles remaining he got a lot more excited.

The very next book was about a Spirit Death Bomb, followed by a light magic speed boost. The books were in great condition, It was unlikely that anyone had to open them to read them in the Clan. It was far more likely that most of these books were never opened by anyone other than whoever scribbled in the book.

”I've gotta try some of this stuff later on.”

Mike looked outside and saw the sky turning a shade darker, signaling the end of the workday.

”Ah, fuck me.. when am I going to be able to go home.” Mike felt drained while he spoke.

He wouldn't mind reading at home after he got some rest; but, where was home even at.

”Mona, you spoke first. So, you're the senior. I need someone to go find Elder Po, Its time I got to my accommodations.” Mike had Mona pick who would go look for him. Jodi was sent, she had already finished her book and was waiting around to read the next one.

Another Hour passed and Jodi hadn't returned. Elder Po was late. Mike went to his truck and laid down with his feet out the window. The truck was inside, so he left the doors open to air it out. He thought about it some more and then quickly closed the doors and rolled the windows up. He was going to hotbox the Truck, In another world.

Looking at the clock in the corner of his console, Mike called out the time ”7:10”, clicked the torch and took a dab.

Then, he took another 10.

When Mike started to cough, only then did people notice the fumes pouring out of the holes in the floor pans. The rich Limonene aroma once again made the people surrounding the incoming fog breath in heavily. Some were quickly reacting to their first encounter with the potent essential oil extract, quickly forcing themselves to sit down.

”Lightweights” Mike joked a bit.

It was a little silly to see the reactions of people who had no idea what was going on, Mike felt guilty again. It wasn't nice to get these people high but it was probably good for them to relax. Most of the people surrounding the Truck had been sedated to some degree. Noticing that the Cannabis had such a quick and potent effect, Mike couldn't help but assume that it was reacting to something here and affecting them more than usual.

'Maybe they don't have anything like narcotics or stimulants here' Mike flipped through one of the books he brought with him into the truck.

”Medicines here are so weird!” 'Toad eyes?, Graphine, Pigs Brain, and Crystallized Insect husks' The shocks just wouldn't stop, Mike finally had to put the book down. Just remembering what things were actually ingredients, was a massive amount of information to memorize. The Spirit reading of books didn't just give you the information. If you wanted to memorize things, you had to do it the hard way. Sometimes, you had to absorb it piece by desperate piece.

Mike found a piece of parchment and something to write with from his glove box. He listed a bunch of materials to procure, among them were a list of professional jobs.

”Why do you need a clock maker, pig farmer, and 'a person who knows everything about rocks'?” Mona took the lead again and asked.

”I need parts, and fertilizer. I also want to know what minerals are in the ground near here. It would be best if the person you bring back has a mining background.” Sending the girls into a downward spiral of workload stress, Mike puffed out his chest when Po Finally arrived.

”Elder Po, So nice of you to join me. Please, have a seat.”

Mike gently patted the seat and helped open the passenger door. While they sat in the Truck, Mike took another Dab and blew it over to Elder Po.

”Your eyes are red, did you test the Medicinal efficacy of the Extract, on yourself?” Mike really wanted to laugh, but he was already tired and wanted to lay down and rest, a Shower would be great if they existed.

”Ah, yes, I consumed about 1/2 of the extract you had passed over to Prince Troeg.” Elder Po was having a hard time keeping still, and was even tipsy looking at first glance.

”You ate 2 Grams of Dabs for your first time testing the medicine?”

Mike was originally feeling sorry for the guy, but now he couldn't hold it in and he fell on the floor while holding his belly. Rolling on the floor laughing his ass off, Mike laughed to his hearts content and spoke directly to Elder Po.

”You should have had less than 1/64th of that if it was your first experience with it. What you ate, would have supported my sleep for more than a week. Can you show me to my house already?” Mike was being polite and helping Elder Po out without embarrassment.

Elder Po was really, really high.

”Lets go, I'll rubber stamp your choice. But, you gotta give me a seed; This stuff is amazing.” Elder Po wanted to grow some Cannabis of his own.

Mike would normally do everything in his power to give someone seeds, but they were his lifeline in this world for now. Therefore, he couldn't possibly dream of giving away seeds. ”I cannot, Its a special technique that you'll need to make sure you don't waste it. Allow me to grow a plant for the Elder Council.”

Arriving at a large square looking building with no windows. The inside of the building opened up to a courtyard that had many rooms and wooden mechanism laying around. There were even materials stacked in corners, adding to the lack of elegance.

Mike saw a spot that would probably be safe to start his garden. He grabbed the soil and noticed it had a high clay content, it would be bad if his plants couldn't grow down into the groundwater. Thinking about a solution would have to wait. Mike found a softer section of the soil and filled a small container with soil before he planted another three seeds in the planter.

”Here's to Execution.” Mike watered the seed and quickly found his bed.

Tomorrow would probably come faster than he wanted.
