'If words could describe what I witnessed, I would call it an epic road kill.' Alex thought.
After that, he rested on the ground, just like Taka and Ethan.
He didn't see when the white snake appeared. But it had come and destroyed the monster before moving on nonchalantly. The hundreds of meters long snake flew away into the clouds as if it had done something insignificant. It disappeared from their views silently.
For starters, it was not the first time Alex saw a flying white snake. He had seen one in the northern mountains. Alex felt that it might be the same white snake. A tier 5 being that is closer to a god than everything else. There won't be two of the same kind, he concluded.
Then, why was it here? Did it come to destroy the evil organisation? Unanswered questions popped up in his mind, one after another. If only he could talk to the snake.
"Was that a tier 5 magical beast?" Ethan curiously asked. He couldn't hide his astonishment when he asked it.
Usually, a beast like that wouldn't roam the mortal world. They would silently hibernate, hoping to find a chance to become stronger. Witnessing their appearance with the naked eye could only mean one thing. The world was about to experience a radical change.
Taka and Alex nodded their head in affirmation. Tier 5 beast was easy to identify. After all, nothing else would scare the crap out of warriors as strong as Taka.
"I should have just stayed back home and become a farmer. Why did I even come to this place? I should return as fast as I can." Alex deliberated for a moment before saying.
After coming to this world, every day, he felt weak. He was always at the bottom of the food chain. He was always fighting to survive.
He wasn't supposed to do that. He was supposed to live a rich and lavish life while enjoying every luxury that money could buy. Not the same pathetic life before his transmigration.
But, deciding to help Kalina had placed him in a precarious position. In the beginning, he thought he was taking advantage of Kalina by forcing her to become his bodyguard. But now, he felt like he was the one that was exploited.
It left him with a terrible aftertaste in his mouth.
While they were in deep thought, the monster's corpse wriggled. Shortly after that, it spat something out.
A small shiny blue crystal was thrown out of the monster. Then one by one, other items began to appear beside it.
"What is that?" The crystal caught the attention of Alex and the others. They curiously looked at it.
"The space storage object that the first elder had seems to have been damaged. It's spewing out the object inside." Taka, the most informed person about spatial objects explained.
"That mana density inside the crystal is unfathomable. What is that?" Ethan wanted to know.
"If my guess is correct, it is the Blue gem of the ice phoenix tribe. It is an artefact formed out of the blood of the ice phoenix. I should probably take that and return it to the ice phoenix tribe." Alex stated.
"What about the other things? I can see gold coins, jewels and other precious items in the pile. Can I get some? I am dirt poor right now. If you can share some wealth, It would be much appreciated." Ethan asked with a blooming smile.
Alex and Taka agreed to it.
—--------------------
A couple of hours later.
Alex walked around the underground prison. Now, he couldn't see any sign of the evil organisation in the prison. As if someone had wiped everything, the corpses, blood, and everything disappeared. Even the decade-old space rune disappeared mysteriously.
Alex had a hard time believing it was the same place that he struggled to escape from.
But after a moment of deliberation, he found the answer he was looking for. He now knew why the reinforcement of the evil organisation didn't come.
They had already abandoned the ship.
They cleared everything and escaped the moment they knew the first elder mutated into a monster.
Looking at the thoroughness of the cleaning, Alex concluded that they were not returning anytime soon.
He exited the prison after confirming its current condition.
Fortunately, Kalina had returned with reinforcement. She was ecstatic to hear that Alex was alive and had found the blue gem. The symbol of their tribe.
She wanted to quickly grab it and return home. And Alex didn't mind that. After all, he had already improved his energy circulation technique after coming in contact with a blue gem. The farm AI didn't forget to extract any valuable data that it could find.
At times, Alex wonders if the farm AI is related to farming at all. After all, its action does not always align with that of a farming game. It had two main goals, gathering data and increasing the survivability of the user.
And due to the recent level-ups, Alex found out that it could also do genetic research on seeds and the animals inside the farm. All he needed to do was to find similar seeds and put them inside the research pod.
After doing that, the farm would automatically select the best genetic traits from the plant to create a super plant that could be planted inside the farm.
'I have yet to explore the functions of the farm. Taking time to do that would be a great idea.'
—------------
Alex, Taka and Ethan returned to Thira after the hectic day.
The first one to leave the city was Ethan. He receives the goods Alex prepared before leaving the city on his ships. 100,000 gold coin worth of food items were being shipped across the ocean to his hometown. He was happy with that outcome.
Alex had fulfilled his side of the bargain. While at it, he also made a good friend.
The parting was a happy one. Knowing that food produced on his farm would save many lives reassured Alex to send the remaining 300,000 coin worth of food at a later time.
However, everything didn't go as planned. The deal he signed with the elder of the thousand-headed serpent tribe was cancelled. And their justification was his inability to produce goods in the allotted time. They didn't bother asking why he failed, they just outright rejected him.
But everyone knew that the justification was irrelevant. The actual reason was that they had found some other supplier that is better than Alex and Taka.
This made Alex realise that there are still things outside his control. No human can change the flow of the world alone. Although Alex was disappointed about the cancelled contract, he didn't let it bother him.
In the future, he could do better.
Besides that, he still had Spice-garden and his fried chicken business to maintain. Before he makes a chain store in all the prominent cities on the continent, Alex decided to not venture into other businesses.
So, Alex planned his return trip home.
—----------------
On the outskirts of Thira, Alex bought a small house. It had all the necessities Alex needed. He even built a custom toilet and bathtub to suit his needs.
He bought some new furniture and decorated the interior.
In the centre of the house, he placed a teleport point. Ten thousand FP vanished before his eyes.
But it was worth it.
Now, Alex could teleport from Thira to his home in the north without any worry. And if something happened, he could return by spending just 5000FP.
Alex suddenly realised how convenient his life has become. In the future, he could deploy eight more teleport-point all across the continent and teleport to any of the places he want.
After taking a long breath, Alex exited the house. In front of him stood Arav and his flying beast- the duck called a little bead.
"Arav, take care of this house. I will return once in a while to check on you." He said to the young man before him.
Arav was the young tamer that flew Alex and Kalina to Thira. Due to the chaos, they lost contact just after reaching the city.
Arav lost his parents and one of his brothers in the attack. He was now looking after his twin little sisters alone. So, Alex found him and gave him a safe job. He made Arav stay with his siblings in the new house. And the only job he had to do was maintain the land and house in good condition. A simple job for an awakened warrior like Arav.
Arav was thankful to Alex and promised to maintain the house in good condition.
"Ah, yes!" Arav nodded.
"And if you have some time, take the seeds I placed on the kitchen table and plant them. They are special tomato seeds. I want to see how fast they can grow." Giving that order Alex disappeared from there.
Instantaneously, he reappeared inside the frigid cold house in the north.
"I am back…" Alex shouted before happily exiting his home. He quickly went to show his face to the Mupan.
