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

"It is like a drop of ink was dropped on a glass of water. Normally, that drop of ink will slowly spread into the water. Even if it doesn't fully dissolve in the water, at least a large part of the water will be black in color"

"However, the presence of the poison-type mystic gem made it so that the drop of ink will still be a drop of ink and won't dissolve. Thereby, making it a part of the water but it hasn't fully integrated yet"

"If I were to insist on absorbing more contaminated stones for the sake of short gains that might not even be enough to make the farm reach the Senior Rank, the contaminants might very well cause the farm to be fully contaminated and die"

"The risk isn't worth it. There was after all a large chasm between the Junior and Senior Rank and I'm afraid even if I mine all the remaining mana stones, they still would be far from enough"

"Anyway, these contaminants are really something. Even my farm that was upgraded to the peak of the Junior Rank is still not enough to successfully absorb them and the farm can only store them while maintaining its stability"

Rezen could not help but wonder just where these contaminants came from but for now, since he marveled at sensing the farm in a completely different way than before, he didn't stop yet

He was trying to discover more unique abilities of the farm. He still hasn't forgotten that Ivy will not spoonfeed everything to him. There are functions and information that he must discover by his own effort

"Even if the farm cannot absorb the contaminated stones to increase its level anymore, it felt too wasteful to just leave them here. Is there something I can do to utilize these resources?" Rezen asked himself as he deepened his connection with his farm to discover something beneficial to him

"Hmm?"

After some time, Rezen narrowed his eyes as he really did discover something. "Why do I feel like I can control the contaminants that have become part of the farm? No, controlling them is not necessarily the right term. It should be, I can move then to my will!"

Since his instincts were telling him that he could do it, Rezen decided to try it. With a mental order, he gathered some of the contaminants

Rezen raised his hand and the contaminants gathered and condensed at the top of his palm

"These condensed contaminants are already enough to poison a 1st cycle Junior Mage to death. If I can condense a larger amount, wouldn't it be enough to kill even mages at my level?"

Rezen had the urge to condense all the contaminants since he could use them as a weapon against possible enemies but when he condensed it, he already felt the effect that it had on the farm

"No, I can't do it. While the contaminants haven't been fully absorbed by the farm, the farm is still using this form of 'energy' to maintain its existence. If I condense all the contaminants, the farm will also be downgraded. These contaminants are now part of the farm, a part of its foundation"

All things required energy and the farm was no different. If the farm's energy was taken away, it would be harmful to it

Not to mention, the contaminants are not as simple as the farm's energy anymore. It has already become half part of it. While it hasn't fully integrated yet, removing these contaminants also means removing parts of the farm. It was simply harmful to its foundation

As such, Rezen waved his hand, and the ball of contaminants that he condensed turned into a mist that drifted into the air and became part of the farm again

He immediately felt that the tiny 'vitality' that was taken from the farm had returned

"This method is not feasible. Is there really no other method?" Rezen said with a frown. Even if his farm reached the 9th cycle of the Junior Rank and he can potentially use his farm to fight enemies at that level, it is not enough

After all, there is still the Senior Rank and even the higher realm of the Great Rank! The difference between these realms is as vast as the sea!

Rezen racked his brains as he stared at the farm. At this point, the farm has already grown and become a land with a diameter of a thousand meters. In short, it already broke through and became a land with 1 kilometer diameter!

While the farm's size was not exaggeratedly increased, it is definitely way better than before. Not only could it now grow spirit plants at the 9th cycle of the Junior Rank, but the growth speed was also way faster than before

Not to mention, the natural ability of the farm to passively absorb energy from who knows where to increase its own level and maintain its operation has also become faster

Of course, although the speed became faster, the distance between the current and next rank has also become way larger than before

Even then, this farm was already very useful and Rezen was thinking of a way to make it even more useful

"These moss..." Rezen said as he looked at the area where he stored the strange moss from before. The ones that released poison that even Ivy was not able to detect. The poison might not be particularly strong but it was very subtle!

Rezen is afraid that even Senior Mages will not be able to detect such poison before they are afflicted by it. Of course, with the means of Senior Mages, even if they were poisoned without them knowing, they might not necessarily die. After all, even someone like Rezen that was just reached the 4th cycle survived the poison of these strange mosses

"Wait... while the strange moss's poison is discreet, it is not that potent. However, what if the moss absorbs the contaminants from the contaminated stones? Wouldn't it mutate just like the Suppla Grapes that I am consuming to increase my talent?"

The more Rezen thinks, the more he is convinced that this is feasible. As such, his mind immediately returned to reality and he started gathering all the remaining contaminated stones

"Sigh... it seems like I was thinking too much previously. There's actually such a low amount of contaminated stones now. Well, this is not surprising. After all, with the amount of energy that the farm absorbs, even Senior Rank lifeforms will explode"

Rezen cannot help but sigh. After he gathered all the remaining contaminated stones, they actually only numbered at around a thousand in which more than half of them were equivalent to low-grade mana stones

Even if Rezen has mid and high-grade contaminated stones, each of them was only equivalent to ten of the lower-ranking stones

In short, even if Rezen has a thousand mid-grade mana stones, that would only be equivalent to ten thousand low-grade mana stones. As for the high-grade mana stones, if he has a thousand of them, that's only equal to ten thousand mid-grade mana stones or a hundred thousand low-grade mana stones

This was a large sum but compared to the energy that the farm needs to reach the next level, this little bit of energy was like a drop of water in the ocean

While shaking his head, Rezen stored the contaminated stones inside his farm.

He didn't let the farm absorb the contaminated stones but merely stored them inside

With a whole kilometer of space, even if there were more contaminated stones, they wouldn't be enough to fill up the entire farm

As soon as the contaminated stones entered Rezen's farm, he immediately went to a free space to dig some holes and he placed a low-grade contaminated stone inside that hole before covering it with the farm's soil

After that, Rezen also grabbed some of the strange moss and crushed it with his hands before letting the pieces fall on the areas where the low-grade contaminated stones were buried

Mosses don't have seeds. Of course, if it's spirit plants, they might grow seeds to reproduce. However, the strange moss doesn't produce seeds and the way it reproduces should be the same as other moss, it uses spores to reproduce

Rezen hopes that by burying a contaminated stone into the soil where the moss will grow, the strange moss will absorb the contaminants

He hopes that the strange moss that will grow will not only retain the discreetness of its poison, he hopes that it would also absorb the contaminants stored inside the contaminated stones to increase the potency of its poison

Logic dictates that this method should work. After all, although the process was different, the principle was still the same with the Supple Grapes. However, there is no guarantee of it and Rezen can only hope that his hypothesis is correct and the strange moss will become a useful tool of his
