‘But 300 vitality… that’s not as bad as I thought. It’s not a completely unreasonable price.’
It’s doable.
I can do it!
Haniel selected the sprinkler listed below the washing machine.
Ding!
| Sprinkler (1) A farmer’s reliable friend that eliminates the need to water manually every day. A device that waters within a 15m radius of adjacent land every morning at 6 AM. Can be enhanced. Requirements: Water installation (Complete), Hose (Complete) |
The sprinkler also cost 300 vitality per unit.
While calculating roughly how many she would need to cover her entire land, Haniel noticed other items listed below and shifted her gaze.
Surprisingly, there were…
| Dryer – 400 vitality Electric Oven – 400 vitality Electric D*ldo – 800 vitality |
Starting with household appliances.
| Utility Pole – 300 vitality Electric Wire (50m) – 50 vitality Generator – 1,000 vitality … Tractor – 5,000 vitality |
Electrical products, farm machinery,
| Spring Seed Bundle – 200 vitality Summer Seed Bundle – 200 vitality … Return Stone |
Seeds of crops and plants that couldn’t be obtained through gathering, items she’d never seen before… and.
| 2nd Floor House Upgrade 3rd Floor House Upgrade |
There was even a function to upgrade the house itself.
“…Is this heaven?”
A tear rolled down Haniel’s dry face.
She realized that this was exactly what she had been wishing for deep in her heart all this time.
10 vitality is nothing.
I’ll collect up to 100 million vitality!
In that moment, her thoughts drifted to Regan’s lower body, who would be at home by now.
‘How do I get vitality?’
She had done something close to pseudo-s*xual activity. Without even inserting, she got 10 vitality.
Then, if she went all the way, how much could she get?
100 million, no, could she get about 10 billion?
Haniel pressed down on her pounding chest.
Calm down.
There would be time to figure things out after understanding the whole situation.
And usually, the further down you go, the more rare items there are for experienced players.
There might even be items worth about 10 billion.
Swish, swish. Haniel scrolled all the way down to see the “items” at the very bottom.
“As I thought, this is here.”
| Territory Expansion |
Land feels smaller the more you use it. After building a house, farming, and even creating a logging area over two years, Haniel had become an experienced player who felt that 5,000 pyeong of land was too small.
It was naturally time to consider expanding her territory.
Showing her the washing machine and sprinklers as if they had been waiting for her, and then trying to draw her in with these features – the status window must have clearly understood her desires.
Territory Expansion. A function to make her current territory of 5,000 pyeong even larger.
And below that were various functions to prevent natural disasters and protective features to keep malicious things from entering from outside.
But what was a bit strange here was the price written next to it.
| Territory Expansion (100 pyeong) – 1 Rift Fragment |
As the price went up, instead of vitality, a cost called “Rift Fragment” was required.
Haniel had seen this word before.
| Tip: The world could burst at any moment. Please use your chosen ability to collect vitality and close the rifts. |
“Rifts… that’s what I was supposed to close using vitality, right?”
Was it like a dungeon in a game?
And a Rift Fragment would be something that comes from that dungeon?
Haniel’s gaze turned to the sentence “The world could burst at any moment.”
A world facing imminent destruction. The implication that what threatens such a world is precisely these rifts – a highly displeasing nuance.
Cold sweat broke out on Haniel’s temples.
Had she grabbed a rotten rope?
Surely it wasn’t going to say something like “you are the only one who can save this world”?
Her chest tightened with anxiety. When she hadn’t thought deeply about this status window message, she had just glanced over it, but as she observed it carefully now, a memory suddenly surfaced in her mind.
Before gaining a new life in this world. A game advertisement she saw right after signing the contract for her house.
[A world in danger desperately awaits you!]
[Save the world while comfortably lying in your own home, and mingle with handsome men too!]
That d*mn game advertisement featuring eye-catching, scantily clad handsome men!
In a way, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that advertisement was the cause and axis of evil that brought Haniel to this world.
Because after seeing it, she was so captivated that she impulsively purchased and played the game, and then died.
Haniel narrowed her eyes and chewed her lip in displeasure.
‘No, it’s too early to make conclusions.’
There was an unsettling possibility that all this was part of the status window’s grand plan, but that was difficult to uncover right away.
For now, Haniel kept what she was thinking in the back of her mind.
This could wait until she properly understood what these rifts were.
Without knowing whether rifts were places like dungeons in games, or where they were located, she couldn’t just go looking for them blindly.
So Haniel clicked on the status window to find out specifically what rifts were.
But…
Beep.
Beep.
“Huh?”
Just like when she tried to get the washing machine for free earlier, the status window only turned red without showing any changes.
‘What is this? Is it an error? Am I not supposed to see it?’
No matter how many times she clicked or shouted, it was still useless.
Tsk. Clicking her tongue, she jumped up from the bench.
“You want me to find out for myself, is that it? You’re not being helpful at all.”
The status window sometimes seemed to help her decisively, but could also be frustratingly cryptic at times.
“Ah, right.”
Nodding, Haniel suddenly remembered the reward item she had received before viewing the home upgrade shop and opened her inventory.
A reward for her “excellent decision,” was it? Nonsensical, but she had received it anyway.
Ding!
| Non-human Instinct Catnip Seeds |
“What is this?”
Some kind of unwholesome seed that seems full of service spirit…
Haniel took out the seeds contained in a paper bag from her inventory. Opening the bag, she saw about 100 small, shiny black seeds that looked like tiny beans.
“Information.”
Ding!
| Non-human Instinct Catnip Seeds Required Level: Farming – 1 Plant quality catnip in your front yard! Non-human beings in my front yard? Non-humans coming in droves! Non-human beings love this catnip. When a non-human subject comes into contact with a certain amount of Non-human Instinct Catnip, it has the effect of bringing them closer to their instincts. A return to nature. |
Required level farming 1…
A benevolent smile appeared on Haniel’s face.
“Please don’t tell me this was actually beginner content…”
Haniel was farming level 999.
Haniel had gone through unnecessary hardship by deliberately avoiding the path that the status window had conveniently prepared.
Regretting it now wouldn’t erase all the suffering she had gone through.
“Hmm.”
Sniff sniff. Haniel took out the [Non-human Instinct Catnip Seeds] and smelled them through the bag.
‘Is it because I’m human, or because these are just seeds? There’s no smell at all… return to nature my foot, I don’t feel anything!’
Since it supposedly had a different effect on non-humans like Regan, she had no choice but to accept that.
