Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 50 Creating Wheat Grains

-----

We were finished planting the seeds, so I decided to quickly water the crops now. The sunlight atop the sky made by the Sunlight Spirit Great Sol was pretty good, and he was happily giving us his warmth as well. I decided to shapeshift my finger and generate several tiny holes on it, where I began to move the water down through that finger, watering the soil all around by giving a few rounds around the entire plot of land. It took roughly ten minutes, but this task was done for.

Ding!

[The Tomato Seeds are slowly germinating…!]

Suddenly, I saw a System notification. It seemed that watering the plants was what triggered the seeds to begin germinating, I see… Well, now we wait, because there wasn't anything else to do than that for the moment.

"Phew, I guess we are done for now… I can't wait to make some bread and other stuff– Oh! It's already been an hour?! I guess I can make a new seed… Let's make wheat first, I suppose it is more important for now, we can make potatoes after another hour but after that I'll go to sleep."

I concentrated the imagery of wheat grains into my hand, and…

POOF!

Almost all the mana I had was gone, which was around 730, and it turned all into wheat seeds!

"S-So many seeds!" said Acorn.

[Wheat Grain]

Type: Normal Plant Seed

Fruit: None

Quality: H-Grade

Planting Method: Plant below rich soil, water them for a small while, and let them rest, in approximately several days, from a week to two weeks, water is not as important aside from twice a week. Seeds will begin to appear when the plant has grown up to a meter and a half and its color has become "drier" turning golden brown.

Description: Wheat Grains are one of the greatest pillars of various races across the world's food, it is the rawest source of flour, which can be shaped into all sorts of doughs, bread, and pastries. By pulverizing it and cleaning impurities, a white-colored flour will be made, mixing it with water can make a dough, which after being baked will create bread. Adding other ingredients such as eggs, butter, grease, and more can change the texture of this dough in many ways.

As I looked into the description, I realized something very… interesting. Wait, there were a lot of seeds that could be eaten right away, weren't there? Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin, Peanuts, and more. Can't I just make these directly out of seed creation? I mean, couldn't I just use these hundreds of wheat seeds directly into flour?! Yes, I could!

Whew… Now that broke the game completely, can't dryads just make infinite pastries then? Is there any need to plant them if I can just produce them like this every 1 hour?

Hmm… I mean, the grade was very low, but the grade of plants will improve if I plant them, right? I suppose for the sake of increasing the grade and making even more tastier flour, I will plant half of these seeds.

"Hmm… We planted most of the land with tomatoes though…" I sighed. "Oh! I guess we can just make more terrain."

Ding!

[You have exchanged 2 Skill Points]

[The [Terrain Adaptability: Lv1] Skill has leveled to Lv2!]

[You can now take over 5 More Tiles]

And with that, I took over 5 more tiles, converted them into Farm Tiles, and quickly began to plant the wheat grains all over the place. It was way easier than I imagined, and Acorn helped me in this as well.

"Amazing, there are so many seeds now… I wonder what wheat looks like!" He said.

"I wonder too! Anyways, let's go back home now, I am a bit too tired…" I sighed.

"Same, I'm quite hungry…" He sighed.

We were done for the day, but I somewhat felt worried that some monster would show up and ruin my place, so I asked Acorn for some Mana Potions he had, and I began drinking them while using Plant Manipulation and Wood Shield, using both Spells combined, I was able to generate large fences made out of wood that would easily block any monster from easily getting inside my plantation! Phew, it cost like 2000 Mana to do it all, so I ended up exhausting Acorn's Mana Potions.

"My mana potions…" he sighed.

"S-Sorry! I'll pay for them!" I said.

"N-No, don't worry about it… I will just make some more!" He said.

"I actually have some very potent mana potions myself, but I don't want to waste them… How about I give them to you and you can use them as an ingredient to make more mana potions?" I asked.

"Oooh! I have never seen those mana potions you're talking about," he said.

"Here, look," I said.

As we walked back to the village, I showed Acorn the Mana Potions, they had a distinctive blue color and were sweet flavor, unlike the plant oil-flavored mana potions he makes, which were green in color, or often brown.

"I have never seen potions that are blue-colored… Where did you get them?" He wondered.

"I got them from the… the goddess! She gave them to me," I said.

"T-The goddess Gaia?!" Acorn exclaimed. "T-Then these potions are divine potions made by gods! I will… I will take the challenge then! I will try making some potions out of this as a main ingredient… But it might be hard, I will do my best though!"

"Alright, I am counting on you." I giggled.

I looked back and finally dispelled the spirits, which quickly returned to the dragon veins and converted into spiritual energy. Then we made our way back to the village of the squirrel-folk, I was not done yet with things I wanted to do here, of course.

Now that I had wheat, I wanted to see if I could pulverize it into dust and then make some dough out of it, and then some delicious bread! Or anything, really.

When we reached back to Acorn's house, we didn't encounter any monsters either, were they sleeping? If I wanted to tame something, I guess I would have to go out exclusively for that, and hunt down monsters, and then give them snacks so they stuck with me…

"So what do we do now…? I guess we can try pulverizing these things… It's gonna be tiring work, but we'll do it while we cook something on the side," I said.

"Alright!" said Acorn.

I quickly decided to make some simple meal, making some porridge using the last pieces of meat in my inventory that I had from the crows we hunted the other day. I put them to boil with some basic spices, mushrooms, and acorns, all while I put several seeds over a bowl made out of my wood, then I proceeded to also use my own hands which were now encased in hard wood.

"Let's see…! HIYA!"

CLASH!

CLASH!

CLASH!

…

I spent around 20 minutes punching the seeds with all the strength I had. Acorn looked at me in surprise as he didn't know that this was how it was done. I only knew that windmills crushed the seeds into flour, but we didn't have the time for that here, so I just used my raw STR stat, which was very low!

…But more than enough to pulverize some puny seeds, hehe. With just some more effort, after twenty minutes, some of the seeds were finally crushed, leaving tiny pieces of white grain over the wooden bowl. I continued hitting them as the porridge was made, and Acorn quickly began to serve it above the table.

"Time to eat, Lady Planta, please stop punching the grains!" He cried.

"O-Oh! Is it already done? Okay!" I joined Acorn over at the table and enjoyed some nice porridge with him. I gained some EXP out of making it as well.

Acorn had made a nice herbal tea, sweetened with some honey, which made me think that I could also raise bees if I could… I wonder if I could get them and raise them into a big hive, could I get a lot of honey out of it?

"Honey? Yeah, we raise them atop the trees, they let us take some honey sometimes, but we never take too much," said Acorn. "Why? Do you want some?" He wondered.

"I was wondering if it could be possible to collect a Queen and make my own hive…" I said. "If I could produce more honey, we could sell it for some money, right?"

"I wonder the same… But we never thought about selling things, we are mostly self-sufficient," he said.

"I guess that's right… It wouldn't be worth it to pester you people with the dumb things I come up with…" I giggled.

"T-They're not dumb!" he said. "I think they're pretty cool. Your vision about things is always interesting, Lady Dryad!"

"Aww, you think so, little Acorn?" I giggled, while petting his head.

I looked into the wheat, and found that the flour was almost ready. Perhaps I should bake something now or leave it for tomorrow? I guess I'll leave it for tomorrow, I was feeling tired in the real world already.

"Alright! I think this is it for now, Acorn, I'll be going out," I said.

"Okay, take care, Lady Dryad!" he said adorably.

"Sure thing!"

I quickly logged off after that, as I opened my eyes in the real world. Sigh… the transition from game to reality was always a bit hard, it makes me a bit confused. The game was so realistic it really made me believe I was inside another world completely… Sigh, I wished my husband could be here to see this wonderful world with me.

I decided to cuddle over my bed and sleep like a baby until the next morning…
