Chapter 16: The Expansion of the Space.
The small rabbit was running like crazy in his farming space. It couldn't continue like this. Cage will easily resolve such a situation. It was a simple and practical wooden box-like cage.
Boy caught a rabbit and closed it inside the cage, so it won't destroy anything inside of space. The important action was observing animal behavior after imprisoning it. Freedom is very important to animals, sometimes more important than their own lives.
'Don't screw around fluff ball. I need to work.' Little creature didn't move out of fear, still, the white-haired kid put some grass inside.
Another fruitful day of grinding, he decided to move from Roger's house completely. The reason was simple, boy was spending more time inside of space than in real world. It would be awkward if someday, man would connect those facts.
The farming database had around 19 kinds of trees and 69 other plants. Variations of same species were treated as a new record in a database, sometimes color difference counted as another plant. It was reasonable from genetic view, however from the view of ordinary person dandelion was dandelion and its color was only addition.
The only issue in an exploration of forest was safe zone. Roger warned him that none comes back from inner area. There were some signs of wolves in the forest, luckily he didn't encounter them.
Today's trip added some berries to his database, few new tree kinds. Finally, farming space got double level up.
[Farming space lv.2]
[Time acceleration increased from 12 to 14 times.]
[Size increased from 2 to 4 ha.]
[New function unlocked. Automatic farming lv.1]
[Farming Space lv.3]
[Time acceleration increased from 14 to 18 times.]
[Size increased from 4 to 8 ha.]
[New function unlocked. Forestry]
'Interesting. It became huge! Automatic farming?'
[Automatic Farming lv.1]
[Desc: Process of farming is automated by system. From planting/sowing to harvesting, everything is automatic. Host's skills and knowledge is influencing the process.]
'What about proficiency points?'
[Host will get 10% of original amount on level 1.]
'It's more than enough. If I got it earlier…I wouldn't waste my time on farming at all.' Another new function was forestry.
[Forestry]
[Desc: Creates area in farming space to plant trees.]
[Time Acceleration: 4 X Farming space time acceleration.]
[Size: 2 X Farming space size.]
[Functions: Farming space functions.]
'It's fuckin great. 72 times of time acceleration. Year in 5 days? Hahaha! I don't need to worry about wood or food anymore.'
His mind focused on possibilities of new improved farming space.
'What happens to berries?'
[The fruits will be harvested and bushes will be left intact. For example, Blackberries fruits will be harvested once every week after the plant reaches adulthood. The lifespan of berries is around 50 years, it's around 3 years in farming space.]
'Fruits will be stored in infinite space without time flow. I am becoming more like walking granary than human! Hahaha!'
His sculpting session focused again on demon wolf. Locking image inside of his mind and trying to get it right with a chisel.
'I don't believe I can't do it.'
[You don't believe in god and Santa Claus either…]
'Santa Claus exists? You are messing with me right?'
[HAHAHA! Look at yourself, host. It's always fun to watch your reactions.]
Aron focused on sculpting, the result was the only addition to gained proficiency. This time result wasn't half bad, although it was far from reality. It was his greatest creation until now.
[Due to creating something beyond your capability. Art +1]
[Demon wolf]
[Desc: Creation of beginner that surpassed his own capability and artistic sense.]
His farmer profession was improving passively, thanks to the new function of the farming system. Space will gather 10 tones of every crop, textile, vegetable, and fruit. Herbs and less useful plants will be stored in the amount of 1 tone. After finishing order, the most efficient plant will be chosen to be cultivated for conversion.
In free time, he was feeding his new pet. Small rabbit didn't starve itself and ate things in cage.
[Skill Animal Handling generated. Animal Handling lv.0(0/1K)]
[Skill Beginner Animal Taming generated. Beginner Animal Taming lv.0(0/1K)]
'Interesting! I started taming it. No profession?' Not getting profession made him little disappointed. There was skill to grind, however no animals to grind on.
'I need to catch more wild animals!' You couldn't tame already domesticated animals, so feral creatures were answer.
The dangerous part of forest was very tempting, boy promised himself to explore it once he gets stronger. Increasing levels of tracking made it almost so useful as his eagle's eyes. Most of hunters set traps around the forest to catch game without risks. Aron constructed couple snare traps to catch small game.
[Traps lv.5(Locked)]
[Stealth lv.5(Locked)]
[Tracking lv.5(Locked)]
'All those skills became locked. I start to have many locked skills.'
Wasting time on thinking about system's mechanism could be done later. It was time to focus on hunting and bringing back more game to village.
[Rabbit]
[Gender: Male]
[Traits: Strong legs, Weak Heart]
[Skills: Leap]
[Rabbit]
[Gender: Female]
[Traits: Strong legs, Weak Poison Resistance(Mortal)]
[Quail]
[Gender: Male]
[Traits: Malformed wings]
[Skills: Hiding]
'All of those needs to be killed. I don't want to breed defective animals.'
One of the rabbits was actually healthy, but the boy was interested in poison resistance trait. There were a lot of rabbits in this forest. Killing one or two wouldn't make a difference.
This quail had malformed wings, it survived only by developing hiding skill. It was unlucky to step into one of the snares.
'New traits incoming! Let's go back to the village first. I don't want to be caught unprepared.'
[Strong legs]
[Desc: Host's leg muscle and bone structure will be improved.]
[Cost: 200]
[Weak poison Resistance (Mortal)]
[Desc: Host will be resistant to weak poisons.]
[Cost: 60]
[Hiding]
[Desc: Knowledge about effective hiding.]
[Leap]
[Desc: Strong jump forward.]
His world energy was on terribly low levels as system needed to invest energy to plant entire space with crops and vegetables.
Adding skills was free, so hiding and leap was added to his grind list. Leap wasn't so efficient without strong legs to support exerting so much explosive force. Hiding wasn't anything special, skill helped find good spot to hide.
'I will add those traits later. System should be able to make profit from farming space.'
