Eman went directly to the farm to immediately apply his new skills.
The <Lord Of The Land> is an active skill by the way, therefore he needed to set up the area manually. But the good thing is… there's no cooldown or time duration.
Setting up the area wasn't a hurdle based on the information. According to the description, he just needed to set it up in the translucent map, which would appear once he summoned it the same way as whenever he summoned his floating translucent window.
In regards to setting up the land, the situation is just the same as holding the right key button of the {mouse} device, then dragging the cursor to highlight the area in the computer screen that he wanted to highlight.
That said, in this regard, he just needed to use his finger to pin on the map and dragged his finger across the map to highlight the area where he wished to set up his one-kilometer area of effect. The area of effect is the field inside the one-kilometer land.
Though take note that the area of the land he wished to use isn't particularly needed to be exactly one kilometer. One kilometer is just the boundary for the current skill level, which means he can freely decide how big the field he wishes to use. Once raising the level of skill, the land area will also grow wider and so the boundary.
And once the area grows wider, it only means that more plants can be under the effect of his <Lord Of The Land> skill.
Using the information he learned from the description of the skill, he set up the land without much difficulty.
Just that, so far there was only wheat within the area where he set up his one-kilometer square area-of-effect.
Another effect of the <Lord Of The Land> skill is that the plants or wheat he planted inside the field of <Lord Of The Land> will grow 2x faster than normal.
'It was indeed a very useful skill.'
His other skill the <Farmer's Awareness Full Potential> was also another interesting skill. The amount of stat that can be gained from eating the ingredients that were planted from his <Lord Of The Land> field will increase depending on the level of the <Farmer's Awareness Full Potential> skill.
It was also due to this skill that his otherworlder ingredients made the consumers break through a bottleneck in their stats.
For each level, the increase in stats will be x2 the previous level. So for example, if at level 1 the additional stats is +1, then at level 2 it becomes +2 and +4 at level 3 then +8 at level 4, and so on.
Those who ate the Potato Fries he prepared for the celebration felt their bodies get stronger after eating the fries, but they had no idea that their stats actually increased.
The reason for that was that ordinary citizens who don't have enough wages can't afford to buy the Divine Tablet, which is used to see the owner's stats, because it's so expensive. Only the rich and those in the academy can afford to own it.
That's why even though they felt they became slightly stronger, they had no way of checking if their stats really increased.
Meanwhile, Eman was on a rocking chair in front of the fireplace. The warmth from the fire gives a really comforting feeling. However, the expression on his face didn't seem of the one who felt comfortable as there was a frown.
Even with all the good things that happened to him these past few days, a sneaky sigh still came out of his mouth. Honestly, he felt a little disappointed that it wasn't the title <World Traveler> that appeared. He didn't have any clue on how to unlock it. Even the System had no idea as well.
It has been almost several months now since he arrived in this world, but there was still no sign that he would be getting that title. The feeling of wanting to return to his old world is still lingering inside him. Even if a year or a decade will pass, he believes he is still going to miss that world.
He decided to cast it away out of his mind for now. It's very depressing to think about it all the time. He then decided to think of another matter.
Eman stared at the space above and muttered to himself.
"There's a looming danger around the empire…"
He started rocking the chair and the chair started producing grating noises.
"Eh? What do you mean, Eman?" Aunt Claire suddenly interjected, sounding bewildered. "Something's happening in the empire?" She asked with deep anticipation.
Eman glanced in her direction and was dazed for a moment. He did not expect that he voiced out his thoughts.
"Uh-uhm. That's right, Aunt. It seems there's a crisis going on currently and it's pretty bad."
"You mean the lack of medicine supply, right?"
'I guess she knows about that.'
"Yes, aunt. That's what I meant."
Honestly, he meant something when he said looming danger, but Eman didn't want to worry them. And anyway, the crisis was also part of it so it wasn't like he completely lied to her.
"I see. Has the situation gotten worse?"
"Yes. When we passed by in some towns, all the pharmacies were being hoarded by mobs of people and each of them was pretty mad."
"Is it? That sounds terrible."
"Yeah."
"But shouldn't we be worrying as well? It's the medicine we're talking about, you know."
"Indeed, but don't worry, Aunt. I have a friend who is a rich foreign merchant. She can provide us with medicines if we ever need them."
"Really?!" Aunt Claire sounded surprised. She did not expect Eman to have such connections already.
Eman nodded.
It seems that he has changed a lot since he returned from the subjugation mission. To the point that the person who came back at that time was a different person. Well, she didn't mean that the person in front of her was an impostor, but it couldn't be denied that Eman had really changed a lot.
It was Claire's honest feeling.
However, even if something in him change a lot, something also remained. His cares to his family were still the same as before.
The next morning, unexpected visitors arrived in the village.
