Chapter 23 Farm Upgrade
The accommodation provided by the woodland tribe was great. They even provided stone bathtubs and proper clothes. They even had iron tools and utensils.
Alex saw this and realised the multigenerational gap in technology between the stone head tribe and the woodland tribe.
This shocked him greatly. He thought he was living in the stone age. Yet, suddenly he could see humans using technology vastly superior.
This forced him to change his perceived outlook on the world.
In his opinion, there can only be one thing that can force people to live with stone age technology when the technology of the rest of the world is much better. And that is poverty.
Poverty can be caused by many different reasons. But in this world where strength mattered more than anything. It was evident what might have caused poverty in the stone head tribe.
'The stone head tribe is weak as f.'
This was a startling realisation to Alex.
Even when he heard about how strong the ice phoenix tribe was. And how the stone head tribe was nothing compared to them. Never did imagine the difference will be this large.
It might be comparable to Jeff Bsauce or Elon Tusk with a common man.
When you think like that, it kind of makes sense.
In modern society, the hierarchy was based on wealth. Wealth or Money got you whatever you need and the person who has none lost whatever he has. It was the same everywhere.
At some point in his life, while living in this world. Alex thought that he could finally escape from the clutches of money. But it seems like he will be trapped once more.
There was only a single solution to this plight.
Rather than being the slave of money, he has to try and be the master of it. He had to accumulate wealth faster than anyone else to try and gain a foothold in this world.
And what better way than to use his interdimensional farm for this.
During the last couple of days, he saved up enough FP to buy enough land to upgrade the farm to level 2.
This was a great thing for Alex. He could increase the output of farmed items and at the same time gain access to tools and technology he desperately needs.
So, opening the farm shop, Alex quickly bought 60 units of land. It was enough to complete the 100 units requirement.
"Ding"
[Player has completed the requirement for the farm to level up. Initiating the upgrade subprocesses.]
For a moment, Everything around Alex became a blur and he was pushed outside the farm. But after mere seconds, another notification greeted Alex.
[Farm level up complete.]
[A comprehensive stats subsystem is created. A comprehensive notification subsystem is created.]
[Warehouse is unlocked.]
[Requirements for level 2 farm is 100 units of land excluding the 100 that you own.]
After that, the flashing texts disappeared and Alex returned to the farm. He could see some difference in the farm.
A building was created next to the farmland. It was a small wooden building with a footprint of less than twenty-five square meters.
'Is it the warehouse?' Alex thought while closely observing the building. And soon he noticed a jarring problem.
'The friggin warehouse has no doors.'
It clearly had a written board next to it saying that it was a warehouse, yet he couldn't see any doors to go inside.
Alan ran around it trying to find if he has missed something. But no, there were no doors.
'I always knew that the farm was a swindler. Now I can say for sure, it is.' He thought.
To once again confirm his thoughts. He tried thinking about storing a newly plucked tomato in the warehouse.
And just like that, it was successfully stored.
'How about storing all the tomatoes that are ripe.'
Again, he stored them without needing to pluck them at all.
'Wow, how about storing items that are in the inventory in the warehouse.'
As expected, that too worked.
'I always knew the farm was awesome. Now I can be sure of that.' Within seconds, he changed his tunes. He shamelessly began praising the farm.
As long as it works, Alex didn't mind changing his opinion. People like that are generally called pragmatic. And he was one.
However, after trying all kinds of things inside the farm. He tried to store items in the warehouse from outside. But it failed.
This simply meant that the warehouse was not a replacement for the inventory.
He could store about a thousand different objects with a stack of 999 each. But once he was outside the farm. No warehouse functionality would be accessible.
It was not a big problem. He could work around that if he really needs to.
Nonetheless, the warehouse was a blessing for him. Instead of taking a lot of time to move things around and harvest crops. He could do that in an instant.
He could save a lot of time doing it that way. He doesn't even have to make excuses to quickly go to the farm and harvest the crops. This was one of the greatest perks of having the warehouse.
And it also gives 1000 slot store items.
What more could he ask for?
Future possibilities were endless as long as he can level up the farm.
Alex was thrilled.
Finally, he looked at the new character stats subsystem.
Although it was said to be a comprehensive stats subsystem. It was just three underwhelming bar graphs in the right corner of his vision. It was coloured green, red and blue.
Green denotes health points, red denotes stamina and blue denotes Mana points(MP). Mana was the term interdimensional farm used to call the mysterious energy.
Although everything was full right now, there was no number marking on it. Only the colours are filled according to the consumption of the points.
Anyway, it was better than nothing.
As said, it was a comprehensive stats subsystem. He really can't complain about it.
After doing all that, he rested.
Two days quickly went by and it was time for him to leave. The woodland tribe also joined their caravan to go to Blue Gem city.
