Interdimensional Farming in Another World



Although Alex disappeared abruptly, Meena didn't mind it. She became excited. The last time she saw him teleport, he threatened to kill her in front of her grandmother. This memory excited her.

'The hidden master is strong!' She exclaimed while looking at the empty chair.

Similarly, the bodyguards that came with Meena were also perplexed by the quickness of Alex's actions. They couldn't even react when Alex disappeared. They could do nothing to prevent him from harming them if he was an enemy. They finally realised how dangerous he was. 

'Thank god he was not our enemy.' A thought flashed through their mind. 

Despite Alex teleporting away rudely, the ice phoenix tribe members experienced treatment befitting the royalty they are. Mupan spent the next few hours procuring them a nice place of residence. He even gave them plenty to eat and drink and left them for their devices. 

–

Alex teleported right towards his home after exiting Mupan's house. He could easily find his odd home among the newly renovated houses. 

Looking at home, Alex smiled. 

'It has been too long.'

'Mani's and Unda's house looks great, instead of renovating the old wooden cottage. They have built it from the ground up, incorporating the method of construction that I have imparted. Nice!'

Alex was relieved to see it. Although he didn't have much interaction with Mani after transmigration, he knew that Mani was the person that looked after him the most. After his parents died, he looked after him like his own son.

Initially, Alex avoided Mani to prevent him from understanding his secrets. Transmigration, unconventional knowledge, mysterious way of getting vegetables. All these could have added up and created doubt about his identity as Meru. And the one that could have been most sensitive to it would be Mani. This exact fact caused Alex to avoid Mani.

But that didn't mean that he didn't care about him. That was why he was happy to see the excellent condition of Mani's house. He was glad that they were not facing any difficulties. 

Without any delay, Alex entered his home. 

'Uh!' 

Alex couldn't sense the thick smell of mould he expected. 

The entire house appeared clean, as though someone had regularly maintained it. No traces of dust or fungus were visible. The house remained just as he had left it.

'Did someone clean it?'

"That's wonderful. I should express my gratitude properly. But before that, I must check on the chick about to hatch."

Alex entered the interdimensional farm once he reached his bedroom. 

–

The farm looked just as usual. Automatic machines ran around the place, harvesting mature crops. Sprinklers sprayed fresh water outwards, drenching the land. And some devices were carefully planting seeds and applying fertilisers. It was a great scene to watch.

After gaining the automation tools, the farm completed its duties without Alex's intervention. 

Seeing this, Alex smiled.

'The cheat ability that I gained after transmigration is handy. I could farm with automation tools and create gene serums to cure people, even those on the verge of death. Really handy!'

Alex strolled towards the spatial cocoon that was covering Chitra and healing her. This was the reason he entered the farm. He wanted to know what her condition was.

The entire cocoon was made out of curved space. In the beginning, Alex could see what was happening inside the cocoon. But as of now, the cocoon looked like an egg. A murky white liquid has filled its entirety, preventing Alex from seeing Chitra's condition.

'At a glance, it looks like a chicken egg. So, it is my right to call the thing that hatches from it a chick.' 

"AI, please show the timer for the complete healing of Chitra," Alex called out to the farm AI while mulling over chicken eggs. 

Just after he ordered, A floating timer appeared above the cocoon. This timer showed time in the real world.

Alex was familiar with this timer. When he realised he couldn't know what was happening inside the cocoon or when the healing procedure would be completed, he asked the farm AI to show an indicator.

The AI decided to show a timer with the exact time when Chitra would be completely healed. Before, the time had days, hours, minutes and seconds in order. But now, it was just showing a counter of twenty minutes.

Slowly, the timer was ticking down to zero.

'Twenty minutes! I have to wait for twenty more minutes. Ahhhh' 

'Anyhow, let's check on the farm in the meantime.'

Alex decided to observe the farm while he waited. 

Currently, the farm has features for animal husbandry and agriculture. And when he had excess FP, Alex slowly improved the genetic makeup of the farm animals he could rear.

The entire animal husbandry side now had mutated animals that could use mana, from cows, pigs, goats, chickens, and ducks to fish. By analysing the purple flesh, everything was improved with the gene serum he got.

Every animal on the farm was now a tier 1 magical beast. In the wild, a tier 1 beast would have been dangerous. But inside the farm, they were docile. They didn't show any rage or anger.

They were perfect to be reared by people.

While he mutated the farm animal, Alex also unlocked the ability to buy infants of the new type of farm animal from the shop. Now, he could quickly multiply their number.

But there was one small problem. The limited space in the interdimensional farm. He quickly realised he had no room to rear all the farm animals. And it was not a problem he could solve immediately.

However, he had hope. Now that he could take live organisms to and from the farm, he had a wild idea about what to do with the farm animals.

He could use the real world rather than trying to rear them on the farm, just like what he had done with the seeds. Now, he can use the real world as his barn, coop and pond. With some help from the Stonehead tribe, that seemed possible.

So, Alex was happy to see the animals run around happily in the barn. He quickly gathered some chicken eggs, milk and returned after observing them for a while.

Similarly, Alex had grand plans for the agricultural part of the farm. Once he gets many seeds, he will improve the plant gene using the research pod. 

Even though he walked around the entire farm, only five minutes passed.

Time was moving at a snail's pace. Alex couldn't hide his boredom as he walked around. 

So, to prevent his boredom, he began to make some food. Chitra was about to wake up soon. 

'After not eating anything for months, she would at least be hungry, right?' 

'Let's make a simple breakfast then.'

Alex quickly took out the cooking utensils from his warehouse. He placed a table near him and neatly arranged the ingredients.

'Just milk and eggs. Simple breakfast should be simple.' 

'Can she even eat these after waking up? Maybe I should make some porridge? No, I think a tier 5 warrior can digest eggs and milk just fine.' He thought back and forth, but he finally decided to make some egg dishes.

'Some need to be hard-boiled; others can be made into an omelette, scrambled eggs and some sunny sides.'

'No extra ingredients are needed except salt and pepper.'

'Great.'

Alex was enthusiastic as he began to make the food. However, his enthusiasm actually revealed his real intentions. Alex was not cooking for Chitra; he just wanted something to eat. 

Alex lit a fire on his makeshift stove. And above that, he placed a pan. He waited until the pan was heated. 

A sizzling sound came from the oil when he poured some oil into it. He waited for the oil to heat up.

He poured the egg he had beaten into the pan. The sizzling sound once again greeted his ears. With that sound came the familiar scent of omelette. After sprinkling some salt, Alex controlled the flame carefully as he mixed the egg. 

As he moved the spatula through, the egg turned to smooth textured lumps from a vicious fluid. When it reached the consistency he imagined.  He swiftly rolled the egg into the shape of an omelette.

Like that, he made a simple omelette. Now, he had to do it several times to have enough to satiate his hunger. 

It took Alex a few minutes to make all the dishes he wanted. 

He neatly arranged the food items on plates on the nearby table. Scrambled eggs, omelette, sunny side up and some freshly boiled milk. He took out the honey bread that he got from the divine butterfly tribe and placed it nearby.

The simple breakfast was ready now.

Time went by in a jiffy as Alex did something he enjoyed. Chitra was about to wake up.

So, Alex redirected his attention to the cocoon. He grabbed a bed and placed it nearby as he awaited the counter to reach zero.
