Using magic to transform the soil had improved the plant’s condition by an astonishing margin.

The magical transformation must have drawn in the surrounding acid rain as well, granting the carrot is Acid Resistation

status.

Soon, Chloe would be able to eat the very first plant she’d grown in this strange game world her.

action coursed through

One Talent Point could transform a single plot of soil. Her other plot still sat empty. She looked over her collection of wewts a motley assortment, and thought she might plant another.

She considered planting Fleece-Grass. But from what she’d read in the Arcane Botany Compendium. Fleece-Grass was extremely fragile in its juvenile stage and required very high soil quality.

It was best to raise it with meticulous care and only transplant it to soil that needed remediation once it reached maursy

Her magical seeds consisted of Fleece-Grass, Fire Vine, Lucky Tree Seeds, and a Slime Essence Sapling Seed.

The Slime Essence Sapling Seed’s quality was listed as Special, and it had dropped by the High-Level Water Slime. She decided to try planting it.

When she’d tried before, the system had indicated that the planting conditions weren’t met. She thought trying again now wouldn’t be a bad idea.

She placed the Slime Essence Sapling Seed into the second one-by-one plot of soil. This time, the system reported that planting was successful.

Only when she pulled the seed out did she realize just how large it was. She’d carelessly tossed it into her System Backpack. and it turned out to be the size of a bowling ball.

She looked at her tiny patch of soil and found herself wondering if the soil was too little. “Will I need to find a way to expand my plant soil later?’

Then she remembered that once she upgraded her territory, she’d be able to freely rearrange her soil layout. She let the worry slip back to the bottom of her mind.

“There’s no rush,’ she told herself. ‘I’ll get more magical materials eventually.

The transformed magical soil in front of her drove home one undeniable truth: magical materials were far more crucial to her than anything else. She let out a breath.

Chloe dumped all the rotted meat from her backpack into the Compost Bin she’d placed some distance away.

The acid rain crackled and hissed. Under her umbrella, she tidied up and then went to check on the dew collectors. She’d worried the water inside might have been contaminated by the acid rain.

Inspecting the dew, she found it was entirely normal. ‘How fascinating,’ she marveled. Then again, the description of the Basic Arcane Dew Collector stated that it converted water elements to produce dew.

Umbrella in hand, she began her day of fishing.

She supposed human habits were terrifying. By the fifth day, she’d already started looking forward to what good things the day’s catch might bring.

always the line vanished into the darkness, and for a long while, nothing stirred Lauge stared as the wanting Fishing Rod, the one that said it would only hook creatures from the Novice Zone

She guessed that once the notice period endet, she wouldn’t be able to fish with such reckless abarton

She silently pleaded for magical materials or basic resources. She still had so many hi-level blueprints wasting to be bot

Chloe crouched under her umbrella, which poked up from the ground like a Intle mushroom she had no wooden wool to sit on.

The rain hammered down. Holding the rod in one hand, she used the other to open her newly acquired book. Introducts to Magic Runes.

The contents were fascinating, richly illustrated, and written like a primer for fourteen-year-olds,

Unlike modern textbooks that seemed deliberately designed to be impossibie to self-study, this book taught in plain accessible language.

Introduction to Magic Runes explained how to control one’s magic, how to chant specific incantations and wield a special Rune Pen to communicate with the elemental forces between heaven and earth, and how to engrave functioning Magic Runes onto objects.

This formed a miniature spell that allowed magic to flow continuously even without a person present.

Rune engraving demanded precision, outstanding magical ability, and formidable mana concentration from the runesmith. By using a Rune Pen and borrowing from spiritual materials, one could carve runes into items and grant those items unique abilities.

The book covered several basic runic arrays, how to select a Rune Pen, the materials for crafting one, and how to produce spiritually rich Rune Ink.

It was genuinely interesting. Even in the modern world, removed from any game, Chloe would have found this book captivating, like a collection of fascinating magical designs.

The book was thin. By the time she finished reading it, she still had more than half her Energy remaining.

Reading books did, after all, consume Energy.

She’d spent three hours absorbing the Introduction to Magic Runes, turning the five foundational runes and the materials for a basic Rune Pen over in her mind, when a system chime rang out.
