[Hint: Welcome to Penguin Farm. A newcomer gift pack has been delivered to your storage; please collect it from the main page.]

Although Angora did not quite understand what ‘Penguin’ meant, he had poked around last night and generally understood the subpage function of Penguin Farm.

Roughly speaking, it was an agricultural section within the Overlord System.

Moreover, the bottom of the page was a ‘shop’ option which listed an assortment of seeds. Still, there were only a few which had its picture displayed—the icons on the others were pitch-black, and it appeared that those could only be unlocked at a later time.

There was also a sale window which Angora failed to sell anything with (or he would have sold off even the walls Vela’s house). Considering that the sale window was placed in the farmstead page, only harvested crops or livestock could be sold off.

[Please lock on to farmstead with 1-unit area as the first farmstead for Penguin Farm.]

Others aside, what Angora had to do first was choose his farmstead.

The system had tipped him that ‘building floors cannot be used as farmstead’ when he tried to use the function in his room, which was why Angora was having a stroll around the town, looking for a place suitable as his first farmstead.

However, after running into Vela, he thought that it was easier to borrow her family’s farm instead of developing some new unusual land to work with. In any case, he should try to obtain Vela’s grandfather’s favor as mayor if he would establish himself in the town.

Hence, following instructions from the system and with his consciousness connected, Angora locked the barren farmland belonging to Vela’s family as his first farmstead.

As the words ‘lock complete’ soon appeared, Angora found the only a square section out of the not-quite-large farmland was flashing, indicating that the 1-unit area (equals to 1-square meter) was only that large.

Unfortunately, just like the system page, only Angora himself could see it.

Then, Angora collected the gift-pack from his system storage. There were two items inside: Spirit Oat Seed x1 and the Watering Bucket of the Devout.

The spirit oat seed was actually from a common plant—it was the Watering Bucket of the Devout which left Angora surprised.

It was a Watering Bucket but one which was crafted very sophisticatedly. Its glaze appeared to be of the highest quality and had a unique elegance to it, and he thought that it would not rust even as he looked at its metallic silver paint and its rose. Its body was also embedded with simple aesthetical carvings that one would be reluctant to part with, and its handle, though also metallic was closer to yellow copper. Even if it was carved with arts of vines from an unknown plant, it did not impede the grip but instead felt very comfortable to hold.

After all, children of the otherworld have not heard of ergonomics.

“Eh? Where did you get that bucket?” Vale had seen Angora’s hand reaching over his own back, and was surprised when he took out that exquisite Watering Bucket out of nowhere.

“Us nobles would learn magic with the mages before inheriting our own fief… but that’s not the point.”

Angora certainly thought that taking the Watering Bucket out of nowhere was a blunder as well. It was lucky that the witness was just Vela, and a village girl like her could be easily swindled.
