Seeing that there were no more of those rocks around, Blake chose to continue on his way in the direction of the statues he had seen, but not before looking around and collecting anything that seemed interesting.
Along the way, he found another tree with apples and picked a few, faced some monsters that attacked him by surprise and began to familiarize himself with the paths of the forest. He had already gone a long way when he found something new for him.
[Acquired: Mushroom.]
"A mushroom? well, Shino had said that she liked them, maybe I'll take it to her." And following that thought, he was interested in what information the system would say.
{Mushroom. Level 1.

"Is this a mistake? Can it really restore all my health points and half my runic energy? It seems too good to be true and the system description is a bit suspicious, although I think it could use me, both bars seem to be halfway, I don't think there's anything really wrong." And despite his doubts, Blake took the mushroom and tossed it right into his mouth to chew.
The taste wasn't bad, it was actually quite nice and he savored it completely, and then noticed how both bars were completely filled convincing him that what the system said was true.
"It would be great to have a good pair of these mushrooms, it would save me in dangerous moments and it doesn't seem to have any strange effect, do you also like to play pranks, system...?"
"Poof!" But Blake couldn't even finish speaking when that sound was heard that was nothing more than his body falling to the ground while several snores came out of his mouth and it seemed that he wouldn't wake up in a while.
…
/Friday, Spring 6/6:00 AM/
[Sleeping skill, increased.]
[Sleep resist skill, increased.]
A new day had arrived, the forest gradually filled with its characteristic morning sounds, the water of the lake seemed to be calm and the monsters walked all over the place, but in a somewhat remote area, a boy with blonde hair began to open his eyes and realize what had happened.
"Edible... Yeah, that damn mushroom was totally edible and tasted good, it even filled my life bar and runic energy, but you should have told me it would knock me out, it's a miracle I didn't turn into monster food!" Those complaints were obviously directed at the system that continually unintentionally tortured Blake.
Thanks to that mushroom, he had fallen into a deep sleep the day before making him spend the night in the forest, just remembering that was enough for him to be in a bad mood and think about everything that could have happened to him, but when he realized that it was his fault for trying something that was totally suspicious, his anger lowered considerably before he looked around and thought things through.
'Anyway, let's be thankful that nothing else dangerous happened, I'd better go back home and then go to Gaius, maybe he wonders why I didn't come back yesterday.' Following his thoughts, he used quick teleportation and appeared inside his house tree, walked over to the mixer, and popped in an apple for a quick breakfast. He completely drank the juice and went downstairs to the fields to notice the large number of toyherbs that were already fully grown, and following the same routine, he collected them all while the randomly appearing things did so again. "More seed bags and runic energy orbs came out again, also the toyherbs that were supposed to be level two grew."

"Hmm... It seems that being of a higher level increases the effects it has a little and is somewhat more expensive, but nothing else changed, maybe if it is of a higher level its changes are more noticeable, it also seems that all the seed bags I got are level two… How can I get a higher level?" New questions were generated in his mind and after analyzing them for a few seconds, he decided that it would be better to think about them in the future or for the answer to come to him. Seeing that he didn't have enough seeds to cover the clean part, he thought to buy more when he goes to town, so he took all the toyherb he had already collected and put them in the shipping box, and then turned his attention to the new thing that had appeared in the field. "Does something new appear every time I pick up the crops?"
What was on this occasion was very different, basically it was a small creature that floated in one place doing nothing, it was the size of a thumb, its body was yellow in color and it seemed to have a big static smile on its face as well as a small leaf attached to what appeared to be a stem sticking out of its head.
Blake had never seen anything like it, so he drew his sword just in case and walked over to the strange thing. Although he closed the distance enough to get his attention, that smiling creature did not seem to react, he even tried to throw things at him to see if he would move or do something, but nothing worked, already as a last resort, he tried to touch it, but right in at that moment, the peculiar creature seemed to be absorbed by Blake's hand and entered his body and then disappeared.
