Chapter 17 - Ch 17 : Start Farming
[ DING!!! Congratulations on clearing the chicken dungeon. Please place your hand on the dungeon core to receive your reward.]
A new notification appeared, and Ray chose to obediently follow. It was his first time getting clear in the dungeon, so he didn't have any experience of doing this before.
Ray walked closer to the dungeon core and proceeded to put his hand on the dungeon core.
[ DING!!! Congratulations on getting the first clear of the dungeon.]
[ Reward: Chicken poop fertilizer recipe.]
This...
Are you fucking kidding me!!!!!!!
First was the book of farming, then chicken, now Fertilizer, Was he supposed to be a farmer??
*Sigh* Ray took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He was blaming himself for expecting something from this dungeon.
A dungeon with only weak chicken inside it, it was his fault that he had expected something big from it.
Now he only wanted to quickly claim the reward and get out from this weird dungeon. He had vowed that no matter what, he would never enter this nonsense again.
But just when Ray took his hand from the dungeon core, another notification popped up.
[ DING!!! Detected the presence of a Dungeon-Master.]
[ The authority of Dungeon Master was too low to receive another dungeon. Convert the dungeon into DM currency? Y/N]
Nice!!! Ray never thought there would be an extra reward like this.
From what he has heard, the dungeon core would stay even after the reward had been received. But it seems the Dungeon System has made some changes on this.
' Convert.'
[ DING!!! The dungeon core has been converted into 5000 DM Points.]
With that, Ray's adventure in the chicken dungeon ended. And since the dungeon core has been converted into pint by Ray, the dungeon crumbled, and Ray and co were transported outside the dungeon.
********
Back inside the Morningwood dungeon, Ray was currently in a big headache.
He never thought that the boss chicken that made a contract with him was this noisy. Now he was considering whether he should really turn this boss chicken into a fried chicken.
" Don't say that, Boss, have you ever seen another handsome cock like me?? Hehe, this cock will surely made any woman go crazy."
And what the heck was that pervert jokes? Ray couldn't help but get cringe at all the pervert joke the Boss-chicken has said.
Currently, Ray was scrolling at the system shop. He had just get the 5000 DM currencies from the chicken dungeon, and Ray had some thought to upgrade the dungeon.
'Hmm, should I really try to do farming? I already have the farming skill book and fertilizer recipe, adding those chickens in the equation. Maybe I should just quit this Dungeon Master thing and become a farmer.'
' *Sigh* Fuck it. System, display things related to farming that was under 100 DM Currencies for me.'
[ Sure host, wait a moment.]
[ - Multipurpose farming tool F-rank, 50 DM currencies.]
[ - Cannon sunflower seeds, 40 DM Currencies.]
[ - Hp restoration strawberries, 60 DM currencies.]
[ - Sandalwood tree seedling, 90 DM currencies.]
[ - Spirit berry, 20 DM Currencies.]
.
Holyshit, those plants sound so cool.
Ray looked at the price of the items, and seeing they weren't that expensive, Ray decided to purchase each of them.
[ The purchase will cost 260 DM Currencies, proceed? Y/N]
' Yes'
Instantly, the item purchased appeared before Ray, and Ray takes a look at them.
' Hmm, they aren't really different than normal seeds before the era of awakening. But as they said, don't judge a book by its cover. Let's try to plant them first.'
Next, Ray went to the second room in his dungeon, as it was the only one that was currently empty.
The first and outer room has been occupied by the group of chickens, leaving Ray no choice but to use the second room.
' Next is, System use the Skill Book of farming (Planting&Harvesting).'
[ DING!!! The item was used, and the knowledge has been transferred to the host mindscape.]
A surge of knowledge entered Ray's mind, and now he felt like he could rival those experienced farmers in the countryside.
' Hehe, I guess my experiences playing Natsume's game would not be wasted here.'
Ray took the multi-purpose farming tools and transformed them into a hoe, where he used them to hack the land in the dungeon.
' Heave hoo!'
A square tiled land in the size of 25x25 cm appeared in front of Ray, like in the game.
' Wew, I'm starting to feel like in those farming games.'
But it was just the beginning. In the next ten minutes, Ray spent his time tilling the land in the second room, making it suitable for growing plants.
[ DING!!! You have been working hard tilling the land. A special reward will be issued.]
[ Miniature sun where it could help the plant grow faster.]
Just when Ray finished tilling the land, a notification appeared in the system, and a smile grew on Ray's face.
' The dungeon really wanted me to become a farmer, huh? Well, it is a good thing since it can help the plant grow.'
Actually, what Ray did there was not a mistake, and he didn't forget about the fact that the plants need sunlight to grow.
After the era of awakening, plants mutated, and most of them didn't really need sunlight to grow. They could sustain themself by absorbing the nearby spiritual aura, and since a dungeon was a place rich in the spiritual aura, Ray never took this aspect into his mind.
Ray closed the tab, and a miniature sun appeared in the ceiling of the second room, making the second room brighter than any other room, which was only illuminated by the torch on each side of the wall.
Then, Ray took out the seed and started to scatter them into the tilled land. The dungeon room was at 5x5 Meters, and since Ray wanted to leave some space, he only tilled 4 areas of 2x2 meters each.
Ray placed the four kinds of plants, each on one of the areas, separating them from each other.
And now after that seed was placed, the only thing left was to water them.
