[Discovery of fruit seed. Level identification: Four. Extracting seed. Extraction complete. Seed has been digitized into the space. Seed can now be purchased from the shop]
The moment Ash took out the seeds, a bunch of tones rang out. Except for the alfalfa seeds and fruit seeds, the other seeds disappeared. "This space is really overbearing," he said. "If it doesn't have a high enough level, it would be taken out of sight. Fortunately, the rest were good enough."
Everyone else didn't understand what the series of tones meant, nor did they know what identification or extraction was. All they saw was that half of the seeds had disappeared.
Once Ash finished, the voice echoed again: [Spatial farm level has risen to five. You will be rewarded with a bag of eggplant seeds, corn seeds, which can fill two acres] [Cultivating new land requires you to be at level five and one thousand one hundred gold coins. You have reached the requirement. Do you wish to cultivate two acres of land?]
When Ash heard the voice, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He finally confirmed that the best way to level up his spatial farm was to take things into the space, otherwise his level up speed would have been too slow. He immediately said, "Cultivate the land." He used up all of BGC.
The moment he spoke those words, a white light flashed next to the corn field, and then two new acres of fertile land appeared.
Understanding that the space would continue to add fertile land, Ash wondered about the other places, like the background land of the game. He wondered if he would be able to some day grow things in the background. Ah, that would be nice.
The voice echoed: [Your level is not high enough. Cultivating background land requires you to be at level thirty]
Ash froze for a moment. Would he really be able to use the background land if he reached that level? If he could, then that would be great.
Eva went to Ash's side. "Master, now that you've cultivated some new land, what are you going to plant?"
Ash looked at the two acres of land, as well as his original mu of farm land where he had just finished harvesting the radishes. "Grandma Eva , I'm going to plant corn on those two acres of land. As for the rest, how about I plant some fruit seeds? What do you think?"
Eva hesitated to answer while looking at the mu of land. She knew that was where he grew the magic radishes, so she was surprised when he said that he wasn't planning on continuing to plant radishes there.
Ash saw Eva's hesitation, and smiled. "Right now I already have seven hundred forty thousand catty of radishes and four hundred wheat. Even if they are good sellers, if I sell too much, it might decline the price of radishes and wheats . But the oil from that fruit isn't the same. That oil is a necessity to everyone in the Continent. Even if I sell a million catty of it, it won't cause too much of an impact on the market."
After hearing what Ash said, Eva agreed. "Okay, Master. Go ahead and plant a fruit orchard."
Ash nodded. "Plant one mu of fruit seeds."
The moment his voice faded, the small shovel and bucket immediately went to work until the seeds were safely in the ground. Ash made a calculation and it seemed like he would only be able to plant three hundred trees.
Once the fruit seeds were planted, Ash put the rest of the seeds back into the spatial barn. As of now, he wasn't going to plant any more corn seeds just yet. He decided to wait until after the corn had matured. That way, he would be able to plant the corn seeds in all four acres at the same time, and then harvest them together.
Everyone was stunned silly from Ash's performance. Such a big space was listening to Ash's every word. It was like a miracle.
The crowd stared at him in worship, and even Eva had the same look in her eyes. Everything that happened in the space was too amazing. Not to mention the slaves, even Eva had never heard of something like this. They were amazed that such a thing existed in this world.
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Ash felt a bit embarrassed. Although he was now the lord of the Anderson clan, in his past life, he was an otaku, so by nature he felt shy with everyone watching him.
Ash quickly said, "Grandma Eva, I'm going back to the hut to check the situation outside." He went into the hut and shut the door.
Looking at Ash's departing back, Eva and Meg couldn't help but laugh. They understood that he was feeling shy. This surprised them because they knew the Ash from before, and Ash was not a shy person. But the previous Ash and Ash were completely different. Previously, Ash had little contact with people, so he was very shy. Seeing him act like that was very funny to Eva and Meg.
When Ash entered the hut, he took a few breaths to calm himself, then he cursed the two. He then opened the screen and looked at the castle, trying to find any spirit beasts. He could do this while lying in bed.
Operating the space was really too easy. There were a lot of things he didn't know how to do, whether it was plowing or just farming in general, but he just needed to think it, and the space would help him. Although this was quite convenient, it still made him feel very bored.
From outside the hut, he could hear Eva teaching the slaves how to read. The sound calmed his heart. He felt like he was in the poem, Lou Shi Ming, about how a noble was living in a shabby home. Ash suddenly felt like reading so he pulled a miscellaneous book from the barn.
It took two hours before the corn matured. Ash went outside to harvest the corn, then he planted some corn seeds in the four acres of land. After he was finished, he returned to his hut and continued to read.
Ash knew that, unlike the other crops, the oil fruits wouldn't grow as fast. After all, in the outside world, it would need two years to fully mature. Now that the seed has been digitized, he estimated that it should take around three to four days.
Sure enough, in the next two days, although the corn had already matured, the fruit seeds had just started sprouting.
In these two days time, Ash had been paying attention to the situation in the castle. By now he hasn't seen a shadow of an undead spirit beast, but he still didn't let Eva got out to explore yet. He was afraid that the spirit beasts were still around, just beyond his range. If they were to find Eva, although she might not necessarily be in danger, there was still a risk.
Still, they couldn't stay in this space forever. After all, the castle was their home. They had to leave sooner or later.
These days, Ash found that the slaves weren't in a good mood. Although they have been learning to read and write, they haven't been working. All they do was eat and improve their literacy skills. They weren't accustomed to doing no work at all, and for some reason this made them feel sorry for Ash.
Everyday they would eat fragrant rice with soup as a meal, which for the slaves seemed like paradise. Although this made them grateful to Ash, it also made them feel like they were doing something wrong to him.
But Ash didn't notice this. He has been doing nothing but reading. It was Eva who was teaching them. Only after the two days had passed did Ash finally realize that the slaves mood seemed very low.
