Chapter 10: The Birth of the Water Elemental Sprite!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day…
As the sun rose, the first rays of dawn pierced through the morning sky.
Sidel was up at this moment.
After leaving the treehouse, he realized that the water in the lake had already dried up.
Meanwhile, in the information panel of the Tree of Life, the progress bar for nurturing the Water Elemental Sprite was already halfway complete.
"The Water Elemental Sprite should be born this afternoon."
Sidel smiled bitterly as he looked at the dried lake. "However, the amount of water required by the Water Elemental Sprite is too much. Even this much water cannot satisfy it."
Then, he helplessly dragged his tools to the puddles all over the island.
"It looks like I have to transfer this water to the lake now. Otherwise, there will soon be insufficient water to meet the Tree of Life's demands."
While Sidel was busy, Ennareau and Sarah got up early to plant many seeds.
Originally, these things needed to be done by Sidel himself.
But now, with Sarah and Ennareau, Sidel's burden had been reduced greatly.
Sidel felt that if he had a few more Elemental Sprites, he would really be able to do nothing.
Meanwhile, when the two of them saw that Sidel was drawing the water from the puddles, they ran over to help.
With the three of them working together, they were done in just one morning.
When the sun rose to its highest point, there were no more puddles on Sidel's island.
With the efforts of the three people, all of the water entered the lake.
After settling this matter, Sidel ate some compressed biscuits and began to check on the crops.
After so many days, these plants no longer needed to be watered every day.
Of course, as the area planted increased, the time needed to irrigate the plants would also increase.
Usually, it would take a lot of people to manage dozens of acres of crops.
Fortunately, Sidel had the help of his Elemental Sprites. Otherwise, he might not have been able to finish a day's work alone even if he worked from morning to night.
If the entire island was planted with plants, thousands of acres of land would require a lot of manpower to manage and harvest.
However, Sidel did not intend to hire people from Earth for the time being.
Besides, he didn't have the money to hire people after buying seeds.
Furthermore, with the passage of time, he would definitely be able to breed more and more Elemental Sprites. They would then be able to solve many problems.
If he had a Water Elemental Sprite, he wouldn't have to worry about watering crops in the future.
In addition, a Water Elemental Sprite would be less troublesome than hired workers.
More importantly, he did not have to pay the Water Elemental Sprite.
With the abilities of the Water Elemental Sprite, it could even accurately determine whether the plants lacked water and how much they needed to be watered.
Ordinary people could not do this.
In reality, due to the needs of the various Island Masters in the Sea of Paramita, there were special watering workers. There was even a professional employment qualification certificate, as well as differing watering worker levels.
Workers of different levels had different expertise and professional abilities.
High-leveled watering workers would even have some corresponding superpowers.
However, the salary of these workers was too high.
For ordinary people, even if they went bankrupt, they might not be able to afford their wages.
However, for Sidel, no matter how high the levels of the watering workers were, they could not compare to a Water Elemental Sprite.
"The raspberry plants are already so tall."
When Heidel passed by the area where the raspberries were planted, he saw that they had grown on a large scale. The tallest one was two meters tall!
Before Sidel transmigrated, it was easy to see raspberries all over in the countryside.
They were very sweet.
This was the memory of many people when they were young.
Even though raspberry seeds were D-Grade seeds…
Every raspberry only contained a small amount of mysterious energy.
However, raspberries were one of the rare crops that could be eaten as fruits.
Thus, after its quantity increased, it could still be sold for a good price.
The raspberries in front of him would be harvested in about five days.
After observing the raspberries, Sidel checked the strawberries, potatoes, and cabbages.
Strawberries could generate Growth Points from the system every day. Furthermore, the time they took to mature was much shorter as their harvest period was about the same as that of raspberries.
Now, some of the strawberry plants had already grown small white strawberries that were growing rapidly every day.
The potatoes had also begun to grow.
Meanwhile, needless to say, the cabbages had grown to the size of a sink.
Currently, Sidel had planted a total of about 30 acres of land.
It was equivalent to planting six acres of land a day.
Thirty acres was about the size of three regular football fields.
A normal farm worker could only plant half an acre of land a day.
As a transmigrator, Sidel was simply extremely familiar with farming.
However, this was also all thanks to the help of Sarah and Ennareau.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to reach this speed alone.
After seeing the state of the crops, Sidel was very satisfied. Then, he took out his tools and continued farming.
Upon seeing this, Sarah and Aineau ran over to help again.
The afternoon passed quickly as they busied themselves with the crops.
In the evening, Sidel sat on a cliff at the island and enjoyed the view of the Sea of Paramita.
The dazzling sunlight reflected off the surface of the clear, rippling sea.
In a faraway place, a few monsters were planning when to attack this island.
Some of these monsters were soaring in the sky, while others were entrenched in the water.
However, Sidel ignored those monsters completely.
This was because those monsters were absolutely unable to attack him during the novice period.
Meanwhile, Sarah dragged her small body and floated behind Sidel, helping him to massage his body.
Under normal circumstances, Sarah would have a skill to help him recover directly and eliminate all of his fatigue from today.
However, he didn't know where Sarah had learned this knowledge. After all, Sidel had obviously never taught her how to massage.
"However… it's quite comfortable."
Sidel greatly enjoyed the peace in this moment.
When the sun had completely set, the two of them returned to the treehouse.
When he saw the familiar treehouse again, Sidel suddenly felt that it seemed slightly unfamiliar.
After a careful look, he realized that Sarah had expanded the treehouse.
Moreover, she had created a small platform outside with a reclining chair made from tree branches.
When it was time to rest, Sidel could lie on it, and Sarah could better massage his shoulders.
"You're getting more and more thoughtful."
Upon seeing this surprise, Sidel could not help but rub Sarah's cute head.
Just then, Sidel looked towards the nearby lake and saw that it was once again in a state of near-dryness.
They had just drawn all the water from the puddles into the lake in the morning.
Now, the amount of water had decreased by this much!
However, in the information panel of the Tree of Life, the progress of nurturing the Water Elemental Sprite had already reached 100%.
"Water Elemental Sprite Breeding Success!"
The system notification sounded in Sidel's mind.
Sidel looked at the top of the Tree of Life, where the blue light slowly descended from like before.
In the end, it landed in Sidel's hands.
When the light dissipated, he realized that he was only holding a ball of water…
