Chapter 17 - System Function (Part 1)

"What should we do, Hyung? The car is completely dead."

Three men quickly got out of the car, each of them carrying a large backpack, and they also helped hoist a fourth man from the back seat.

Not long after they left the vehicle, there was a loud bang, and the car exploded.

Flames shot into the sky.

The faces of the men grew increasingly grim.

The other man who was being carried had a bruised face, his lips turned pale white, and his body was covered in injuries.

Not just him; the other three men were also had some injuries on their bodies, though none of them as severe as this one.

The badly injured man struggled weakly, "Just put me down. We don't know if that thing will come after us again. Hurry up, go on without me."

"Shut up!" Shin Woncheon snapped fiercely. "Don't say that again. Hold on a little longer; I remember there's a town nearby where we might run into a supply team and get some help."

"With no vehicle, we'll take turns carrying him. If anyone can't keep up, just say so," Shin Woncheon said, looking at the other two.

The two men nodded their heads firmly.

The group continued moving forward.

If people see them from above, they will notice that their current location is quite close to Kim Haru.

...

Kim Haru finally opened the remaining items from the newbie gift package, and they directly entered the farming system's backpack.

Like most systems in some novels, Kim Haru discovered a backpack function in his system.

When he opened it, he saw a large grid of compartments, but aside from the top row, all the other slots were gray, indicating they were locked.

A total of ten slots were unlocked and usable.

After stuffing in a few tools, they already occupied half of the space.

A hoe, an axe, a pick, and a watering can each took up one slot, while an entire packet of seeds took up another.

Kim Haru made sure to test it out; in addition to the system rewards, he could also place other items in the slots.

For example, a handful of soil he randomly picked up from the ground now brightly occupied one of the slots.

At the same time, he put the soil into the backpack, the system notification pops out.

[ Ding! You have obtained a clump of dirty soil x 1. ]

After grabbing another handful of soil and placing it in the backpack, it didn't take up another slot; instead, the number "2" appeared in the same slot for the soil.

Kim Haru easily understood the rules of the backpack's usage.

By now, the sun was no longer blazing overhead, and Kim Haru took out the hoe, circling the wooden cabin twice before choosing a patch of land between the cabin and the pond.

Time to dig!

Wham!

With just one strike of the hoe, a neatly prepared half-meter square of land instantly appeared before Kim Haru's eyes.
