Chapter 7: Chapter 7

The farm is doing great! I managed to buy some of the recommended fruit to increase my luck. It is called the Gold Starfruit tree, and I already ate some of it to reach E-rank luck.

I smile a little at my growth. It is not much growth, but I'm still making progress. I feel that my growth gets slower because my food grade stays in the F-rank. If I get E-rank seeds, I can get stronger faster.

Even Water Trees that have the potential of becoming a B-rank tree that can make a water worth of a country or two start at rank F.

Anyway, system. I want to upgrade my Farm Rank.

|Of course! Please say 'Quest' and accept the reward for completing your quest.|

What? Do I have a quest section?

|Not yet. Unlock more system functions by increasing the Farm Rank.|

I see. I shrug and say.

"Quest"

{2.) Need Body, Spirit, Luck stats to E-rank} {Completed}

{3.) Need 10,000 Farming Points} {Completed}

[Do you want to level up?] [Y/N]

=||=

I quickly press the Y button and feel something happening within my soul. The strange feeling lasts for a minute before it finally disappears.

What happened?

|Congratulations! You now unlock the Quest function!|

Oh! Is there more?

|Yes! You also unlock E-rank seeds! Not only that, but the shop also sells more skills and other things.|

Oh? What kind of skills and things?

|You should check it yourself!|

Fair enough. Anything else?

|One last thing. You can now buy farm animals.|

Finally, I can finally raise some chicken or something. I nod my head and open the [Shop]. I look around for a few seconds before my eyes land on the new skills and things the system is talking about.

Five new skills and five new items I can buy. I also have a dozen new seeds I can buy and plant. Three of them have the same effect as Golden Carrots, Silver Radishes, and Golden Starfruit. I also get a vegetable that increases my [Spirit] stats the more I train it.

I can do this with the other vegetables, but this one specializes in increasing my [Spirit] stats. It boosts the result of [Spirit] training even more.

I shake my head and open the [Quest] section.

=||=

A quiet selection of quests. As for hunting, does trapping them count? Trap them in the hole and stab them.

|Yes. As long as the bear is not dead when they fall into the hole, you are good. The system will not count it if the trap kills the bear. You need to be the one killing it.|

I see. That is good. Because of my hunting skill, I can track the bear's footprint and ambush them if my trap fails. However, I feel the Roast Banana honey trap will work like before. Roast the banana and place them inside a deep hole to lure the bear.

Let's try that.

I nod my head and open the [Shop] once again. I have five thousand points in my pocket because the system takes ten thousand points to upgrade my farm rank. I decide to take Carpentry, Basic Construction Tools, Basic Fishing Poles, and Rank-E Farming Tools.

I felt a slight headache, but it was not as bad as when I got my fighting style. I shake my head and look at the material for the building and say.

Hey, what is the difference between regular wood and the wood from the [Shop]?

|At the moment? Nothing. However, the higher level your farm is, the stronger it will become.|

Does it grow in time?

|No. It grows alongside your farm level. At the moment, it was only a very durable wood with a small fire resistance. However, when your farm reaches B-rank, your home can withstand a direct atomic bomb. The radiation is still a problem, though.|

Really? Atomic bomb? That is very impressive. I still have some points to build a coop for my future chicken farm. I buy ten sets of wood logs (100 Logs) to make a coop and take out my phone.

"Tami, can you buy something for me? A lot of things…. No. No. Nothing like that. I need a lot of nails, cement, and other construction materials. I will send you a message for the full list. I want to know if you can send it now… You can? Fantastic. I will send the list now."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|3rd POV|

The youkai of Japan have noticed a monthly occurrence; many miracle vegetables and fruits started to circulate from the northern part of Japan. Yasaka, the leader of Easter Youkai, is also among the people who notice it as she also buys them herself.

She looks at her chief researcher and says.

"Any progress? It's been two months since I gave it to you and your team."

The Tengu in front of her shakes his head and says.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lady Yasaka. My group and I cannot figure out how these vegetables stay alive and grow into this."

"Truly?"

"Yes. We have tested it using all the methods we can think of and it has resulted in failure."

"I see."

Yasaka nods and looks at the Golden Carrots in front of her.

"I guess that cannot be helped. The others will also test it and try to grow these vegetables themselves. I want to know if the other race can grow them."

Tengu nods and takes out a stack of paper from his bag.

"These are the tests we conduct with the soil of the Underworld, Heaven, and Asgard."

Yasaka reads the paper in her hands while Tengu continues his explanation.

"Just like us, they cannot be grown in their soil. We even conduct a simulation using magic and Youjutsu to make the environment the same as these three places."

Yasaka nods and says.

"That is good. At least we can breathe easy knowing the devil cannot grow them either."

The Youkai and the Devil race have a bad history with each other. Not because the Youkai like to cause trouble to the devil but the opposite. The Devil is the one who always starts a conflict, and the Youkai can only swallow the insult, for they do not have enough firepower to fight the entire race of Devil.

They could if the Youkai race united and had the support of the Takamagahara. Without them, they cannot fight the Devil on equal ground. Yasaka did not want to admit it, but they only had the number, not the quality.

However, with the new vegetables and fruit on the market, they can change that. The only thing she needs to do is to make sure the other people cannot get them and grow them. She knows she cannot prevent the vegetables from reaching the black market forever, but she can make it as long as possible before they can reach the black market.

With them cannot be grown in the underworld; she now only has to prolong the goods reaching the underworld.

Yasaka looks at the Tengu standing next to her and says,

"How is the mission?"

The Tengu nods his head and says.

"My men manage to make an appointment with Tamika, the supplier of the goods. However, while investigating her, we found that she is not the one supplying the goods. She is the one selling them but she is not the supplier."

"Oh?"

The Tengu gives her a photo.

"This young man is called Yuuji Takano, the exiled heir of the Takano family. They exile him because he cannot use any magic, but I know that is false. When we get closer to him, we notice he has mana the size of a High-Level Low-class being. He has a bigger mana reserve than his generation."

Yasaka frowns a little and says,

"Then why did he get exiled?"

"We did not have an ironclad proof but we have a solid proof that the lord of the Takano family favored his second sons more than the first one. That brat is spoiled rotten and cannot do anything wrong in their eyes."

"A bias then."

"That's right."

Yasaka looks at the young man and smiles a little.

"We can use this."

Yasaka has a dream, a dream that lets the Youkai faction stand against the strongest faction in the world without the help of the Shinto Gods, and this young man is the key to her dream.

"My lady."

Yasaka snaps from her thoughts and looks at her spymaster.

"What is it?"

"Before you meet him, I need to tell you one thing."

"What?"

"One of our Divination Masters managed to see something that freaked her out."

"Out with it."

He takes a deep breath and says.

"She sees a massive being covered in a void of the universe. She sees an endless pool of darkness from the young man. She did not know what it was, but she knew one thing."

The Tengu looks Yasaka right in the eyes.

"The man you want to use is a being that hides his true nature. He releases a low-level power, but deep down; he can easily kill anyone in Japan. Even if that is not true, he has a potential to become something very powerful for his potential is as deep as the abyss of the universe."

That made Yasaka pause and frown.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. We are one hundred percent sure."

"Is he a threat?"

"No. We don't think so. I feel he already knows we are investigating him, but he let us do it and continue doing what he is doing, farming."

Yasaka's frown gets even bigger.

"Is he a god?"

That is a possibility. A lot of God can reincarnate into a mortal or possess the said mortal. The first scenario is very unlikely as they will lose their power entirely, and God is too prideful to lose their power. They would rather die than lose it.

The most likely scenario is the second one. A God possesses a mortal and experiences a mortal life. It was a rare scenario, but a dozen or so Gods had done this in the past.

"Our team thinks so. We have a theory."

"Tell me."

The Tengu nods his head, takes a deep breath, and says.

"We think he is Amatsu-Mikaboshi, the Primordial God of Chaos."

Yasaka looks at him in shock before shaking her head.

"That is impossible. Lord Izanagi sealed him in the deepest part of the Dimensional Gap. He cannot get out of his prison! Lord Izanagi gave his life to seal him in that place."

"We thought so as well. However, do you still remember the history, my lady? What is the condition Lord Izanagi created for him to be released?"

Yasaka thinks for a moment before saying.

"The seal will be broken when his anger disappears, and his mind is not clouded with a vengeance."

"That's right."

"You don't think…."

"Yes. We theorize he already forgave Lord Susanoo, and his anger toward the world is gone. Now to fill the gap in his heart, he does what his wife likes doing."

Yasaka slowly nods her head and says.

"His wife, Toyoukebihime, the Goddess of Agriculture. Her favorite pastime activity… farming."

All the people in the meeting room look at each other without saying anything for a minute.

"My lady, should we tell Lady Izanami? He is her son, and she deserves to know."

Yasaka thinks for a moment before shaking her head.

"Not yet. We don't want to give her false hope. He is her favorite son, and Lord Izanagi spared him because of her request."

The others nod their heads in agreement.

"I will talk to him first before we do anything."
