My Farm System: Reaching The Top In The Parallel Earth!

Since the potatoes were thinly cut, it didn't take that long before the fries were cooked until golden brown and Rezen transferred the fries to a wooden bowl

"Can we eat it now?" Treen asked impatiently. This is the first time he had ever seen this type of food and he can't wait to taste it

"Don't be impatient, help me take some leaves from the Kilm Plant, the one with orange leaves" Rezen said

While the fries definitely already tastes good with the help of pepper and liquid salt, it still wasn't enough. He planned on adding more seasoning

As impatient as Treen was, he doesn't have a choice but to listen to Rezen and pluck the leaves of the said Kilm Plant

After handling the leaves to Rezen, he washed them first before drying them using yet another beast skin

After the leaves were thoroughly dried, Rezen ground the leaves in a small bowl using a pestle, and soon, the leaves were turned into a powdery substance

Maybe because the Savage Beast Realm is a realm with intact laws but the Spirit Plants in this realm are more numerous

Aside from Spirit Plants that are useful to mages, there are also those that could only be used as a seasoning

An example of that is the Kilm Plant. Its leaves once ground into powder and put on dishes would have the same taste as the cheese powder of Rezen's previous realm!

This made him think that he really is living in a fantasy world where magic and extraordinary plants exist

The powdered leaves of the Kilm Plant is the last seasoning that Rezen intended to use and after coating the fries with the powder, only then did he let Treen have a taste

Treen's reaction did not disappoint Rezen. The man acted the way that Rezen thought he would

In just the first bite, Treen's eyes instantly widened in surprise and disbelief as he stared at the large bowl of fries

"Delicious! Delicious! This is too delicious!" Treen exclaimed. This is the first time he had a taste of something this delicious

The roasted meat and plain roasted or boiled potatoes don't come close to the taste of these fries

It was too delicious that his hands unconsciously went to grab more fries. If Rezen was not able to stop him in time, Treen might have devoured all the fries by himself

"Calm yourself! I'll give you your share but don't eat it all!" Rezen scolded and Treen could only pout his lips

He wanted nothing more but to eat all the fries that Rezen cooked

"Here, this is yours, this is for the Chief, and this is for Stone Head. Don't you dare eat them all or I'll never let you eat my fries again. Do you understand?" Rezen asked with a threatening tone and Treen pitifully nodded his head

The fries he received are far from enough to satisfy him!

——

"Grandpa, I made these. Please share them with the others" Rezen said as he handed the bowl of fries to Skinny Yan

Since Skinny Yarn and the fourteen other members of his previous tribe still haven't fully integrated with the Waterside Tribe, they were placed in one area of the tribe. Rezen thinks that this setup is inefficient

The Chief and the others don't trust Skinny Yan and the others yet causing them to be a bit isolated. But how could these people easily integrate with the tribe when they are asked to live in a single area? They would most likely only talk with each other instead of talking with the original members of the Waterside Tribe

Fortunately or not, many tribesmen from the Waterside Tribe have died due to the circumstances and there are enough huts for the new members of the tribe. That might be the only silver lining, if not then these people might have to live temporarily in tents while they are building their own huts

"What are these?" Skinny Yan asks while staring at the weird-looking food inside the bowl. This is the first time that he had seen food with an orange color

"It's cheese flavored fries. I guarantee that they are delicious. Make sure to eat them all, alright? I worked hard to cook them. Cheer up!"

With that, Rezen didn't stay for long as he returned to his own hut leaving Skinny Yan that was extremely curious about these so-called fries

Even before entering his hut, Skinny Yan had already tried to eat the fries and he had the same reaction as Treen

Since the people of this realm barely survive, as long as they have food, they would already be happy. They don't have the luxury of thinking of ways to make their food taste delicious

Midnight

Inside Rezen's hut, he could be seen staring at a lump of magic beast meat that Skinny Yan had gifted them as thanks for the fries

Looking at the meat, he can't help but sigh. "They were so touched by my gift not knowing that I didn't do it for free" he muttered

While Rezen feels a bit bad, that was only it. His goals are still his priority and for that, he doesn't mind killing people much less deceiving them

"I think it's time" Rezen muttered before retrieving his Juta Powder and sprinkling it on himself

In this way, his presence would be reduced to a minimum and he could sneakily do 'some things' he must do for his survival and goals

Rezen checked the pouches on his belt and seeing that he has what he needed, he started his plan

The first thing he did was to grab several of what looked like purple joss sticks and he lit them with fire

Since these sticks wouldn't burn forever, Rezen immediately went out of his hut

While Rezen could hide his presence, the burning sticks on his hand are not something that doesn't give off any scent

As such, he purposely chose to enact his plan this late at night

His feet moved quickly and since his target is just inside the tribe, it didn't take that long before he entered the area where Skinny Yan and the other members of his tribe stay

Skinny Yan is Rezen's target and he went straight to his hut. Since it was already late, everyone aside from the tribesmen that are guarding the tribe are already asleep

However, this doesn't mean that they are easy to kill. Even if Skinny Yan is sleeping, the slightest bit of killing intent directed toward him might wake him

Fortunately, Rezen doesn't plan on killing him or harming him in the slightest. As long as he is careful, he should succeed in his plan

Rezen slowly infiltrated the hut and saw Skinny Yan sleeping on dried grass just like the other tribesmen

What he has to do is not that hard. He only has to let the smoke coming from the stick enter Skinny Yan's system

As long as he could put the burning sticks near Skinny Yan then his plan is as good as a success

In fact, even just putting the sticks on the 'door' is already enough

"The fries might have tasted good but I sprinkled the pollen of Midnight Flowers. The pollen itself doesn't have any negative effect when consumed but if the flowers were burned with fire and the smoke was inhaled by people that ate the pollen things would be different" Rezen thought and as if on cue, Skinny Yan started to move in his sleep

The dried grass rustled as the sleeping old man moved more aggressively the more time that passed

When utilized, the Midnight Flowers only has one effect, inducing a nightmare in the victim!

The nightmare itself is not even that harmful. It was akin to regular nightmares that people sometimes experienced

However, while under the influence of the nightmare that was induced by Midnight Flowers, it would be quite hard to awaken the victim temporarily. That is for the Midnight Flowers that Rezen used since they are of the lowest level

Just like the Spirit Plants on earth, the same specie of Spirit Plants is not equal. Some are only effective against Junior Mages and below while some could affect even mages above the Junior Rank

Still, the Midnight Flowers that Rezen used are enough as he approached the old man that is suffering from a nightmare

Rezen carefully took off the ring from Skinny Yan's finger. While Skinny Yan is affected by the Midnight Flower, it wouldn't hurt for Rezen to be more cautious

"Ivy, absorb the energy of this magic artifact" Rezen ordered

Skinny Yan's ring is a broken magic artifact. While this magic artifact cannot be used anymore, it still contains some energy and since this artifact at its peak is a peak Junior Rank artifact, the energy it contains should be pretty decent

In fact, not only could the ring's remaining energy wash off the earth realm's influence over Rezen, but it would also 'heal' the farm by 50% in one go!
