[SIDE QUEST 4 completed!]
[Congratulations! You’ve been rewarded with 5 EXP & 2 Great coins.]
[Confirm to collect the rewards.]
"I CONFIRM ALL THE REWARDS! Oh my god, this is becoming my culture."
Shouted Circus. He was not of the modern world, where modern devices have people repeating the same thing again and again, despite some things being obvious. 0’s and 1’s had no obvious.
Circus checked his profile to take into account the changes.

"Still pretty, but not much change. My eyes are on the remaining main quest."
Circus went out of a bunker. When he got out of the building, he was surprised to see his nurseries covered in green.
He darted forward to take a closer look.
To his surprise, the seeds he had planted just the day before had sprouted overnight. How astonishing! Typically, germination takes several days, even with the best fertilizers. The rapid growth of the crops was a testament to the effectiveness of the pink liquid.
Gently, he ran his hand over the plants, tenderly caressing them.
"Fertilizer Gem." He mumbled. "It should be known as a mystical fertilizer gem."
This revelation motivated him to take immediate action. He carefully transplanted the tomatoes into two separate seedbeds, while the lettuce found its new home in the other two seedbeds.
Next, he retrieved a barrel of pink liquid and began applying it to the plants. In a short span of time, he completed the task, realizing that the liquid seemed to be sufficient.
"At Uncle Tom's garden, tomatoes usually take at least two months to fully mature. I wonder how long it will take with this new method. Perhaps a month, or maybe even less," Circus pondered as he gazed at his small, green field.
"By the way, how often should I apply this pink liquid to the crops?"
[Only once! After that, you just need to water them once or twice a day. Either in the morning or evening will suffice.]
"Once. Alright."
Considering his limited water supply, he decided to water the plants once a day.
Ding!
The previous day, he had been too preoccupied to notice the sound. But at the moment, he managed to catch it. A smile formed on his face.
[MAIN QUEST Completed!]
[Congratulations! You’ve been rewarded with a low-quality wooden chest, 100 EXP, 30 Great coins, and 10 skill points.]
[Confirm to collect the rewards.]
"I CONFIRM."
A chest image popped out.
[OPEN the chest now, or you can choose to open it LATER. (The chest will wait for you in the Inventory)]
"I am present; no waiting."
Without delay, he proceeded to open it. The chest revealed three boxes that emerged and suspended themselves in front of him. Two of these boxes were recognizable to him, containing tomato and lettuce seeds. However, their quantities had been altered, as both now held a total of 100 seeds.
The third box depicted a picture of planks, with the number 100 displayed in the bottom right corner and the word 'wood' written beneath it. Naturally, he deduced that this box contained 100 planks of wood.
Under all the boxes, a flashing message reiterated the same instruction: 'CONFIRM TO COLLECT THE REWARDS'.
"Didn’t I confirm this sh*t already?" Shouted Circus out of annoyance.
[CONFIRM TO COLLECT THE REWARDS or IGNORE.]
‘What a strict mate?’
"I CONFIRM THE REWARDS!" He shouted again with a wry smile.
Ding!

Circus couldn't help but smile and express his gratitude. "I appreciate that. Forgive my troubles, please."
[No problem, sir. It’s my duty to help you become the greatest farmer in the millennium.]
"Sounds great! Let’s do it; let’s accomplish it!"
Circus was in high spirits. Initially, he had made up his mind to delay checking his profile, but now he couldn't resist the temptation and had just done it once more.

"Level 2, what a progress!"
Upon inspecting his inventory, he discovered that he possessed 100 planks of wood, 100 tomato seeds, and 100 lettuce seeds.
Following that, he navigated to his QUESTS DASHBOARD and noticed a new section labeled 'DAILY QUESTS'. Intrigued, he opened it first. There was only one quest available. The quest details were as follows:
Quest: Water Your Crops.
Rewards: 500 grams of strength and 5 Great coins.
Circus was impressed by the rewards, especially the strength boost. This was the sole opportunity for him to enhance his strength, aside from the rewards obtained from leveling up. Additionally, he considered watering his crops on a daily basis as a crucial task that he couldn't afford to miss. Although he had already watered the plants with the pink liquid earlier in the day, he made the decision to water them again in order to obtain the rewards.
He moved to the MAIN QUESTS section, which now got only one quest. The quest details were the following:

He navigated to the last section, the SIDE QUESTS. Two quests were there. Quests details;
1. Prepare additional land for your farm.
Rewards: 15 EXP & 7 Great coins.
2. Master Weeding II.
Rewards: 5 EXP & 2 Great coins.
"Now, let’s work on these quests, starting with the main quest."
By this time, it was already around nine in the morning. He began by mastering the Weeding II skill, which took him 7 minutes to master. It contained just better and improved skills in weeding. Circus was glad, knowing it would help him weed better than the previous time. Five skill points were used to master it.He proceeded to enter his dwelling, specifically the bunker, and emerged with a hoe, an axe, and a knife. With these tools in hand, he began his weeding task. As he diligently cleared away the tall grass and shrubs, birds and other small creatures scurried away to safety. He even managed to capture a few birds."Today, I shall feast on meat!"A smile covered his face as he securely placed the captured birds in a designated area where they could not escape, in a tin that also contained bird eggs. He carefully covered the tin and resumed his work.Furthermore, he successfully eliminated two snakes that attempted to strike him. It seemed as though the heavens were always watchin
Despite his hunger, Circus remained calm and composed. He had managed to catch three birds, each about the size of a pigeon, and he prepared them to be fried. Since there were no pots available in the bunker, he used a tin to fry the birds. Circus skillfully placed the tin over the fire, watching as the flames danced beneath it. The sizzling sound of the birds cooking filled the air, and he patiently waited for them to turn golden brown.Finally, he sat down to enjoy a delicious meal consisting of the fried birds, bread, and wine. He saved some of the meat for his supper later. The wine had a slight intoxicating effect on him, causing him to fall into a deep sleep right then and there. When he woke up, it was already 6 in the evening. Realizing the time, he quickly packed his belongings, took a quick bath, and locked himself inside the bunker.Inside the bunker, he had his supper and indulged in more wine, which eventually led him into a deep slumber. Rest was exactly what he needed a
He embarked on a journey towards the closest village and enjoyed his breakfast en route. The morning air was crisp as he walked along the winding path, taking in the picturesque scenery that surrounded him. The sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling provided a soothing soundtrack to his adventure.He reached the village after an hour and inquired about the route to the village market. The market, however, did not possess the grandeur and prominence of the market in Olese City. In fact, when compared to the market in Oden City, it was significantly inferior, surpassing it by more than a hundredfold.The majority of its merchandise consisted of agricultural goods due to the fact that the majority of the population engaged in farming. In fact, ordinary people were mostly involved in farming. His objective was to acquire a cart, a few oxen, and provisions. It didn't take much time for him to come across an individual selling the items he needed in a shed. The shed was tucked away in a
"Have a nice journey, sir." The older man uttered when Circus was leaving with the cart and the animals."You too." He waved at them, and they waved back at him."That young man is definitely from Olese." The younger man said."I know. How can he be from these villages?"Besides all that, Circus still looked prestigious despite living in poor conditions in the bunker and the heavy work he was doing.Circus proceeded to traverse the market, leading the bulls along. He acquired five sacks of rice for one gold coin, as well as various household furnishings, including pots, plates, mats, benches, cups, and other items. Additionally, he purchased some meat. Upon tallying his expenses, he discovered that he had spent a total of two gold coins, which increased to six gold coins when accounting for the cart and animals.He returned to his home in the woods. After unloading everything and packing them into the bunker, he took the two 1000-litre tanks on the cart and left to draw water. The hors
An onion like plant 5 metres in front was highlighted. He got up and approached it."What can a plant named Ioly do? What makes it a treasure?" Circus asked doubtfully while approaching the plant.He had never heard about the plant named Ioly and had never seen the highlighted plant ahead of him before. It looked like an onion, was about half metre tall, and had yellow wheat like flowers. Nevertheless, vast expanses of forests and thickets conceal countless varieties of plants and trees that remain unknown to mankind.[The Ioly plant contains stamine, which is a raw form of stamina.]"Are you suggesting that consuming it will provide me with energy?" He asked in disbelief.This was exactly what he needed.[You’re right, sir. The plant’s juice is stamine.]Circus plucked some of its long and fat leaves. A pleasant fragrance rushed into his nostrils. He put the leaf into his mouth and chewed slowly, wondering if it was going to taste like onion leaves or something entirely different.The
"Sorry, son, I just have to do this; otherwise, I’m going to be the one to take you as my servant. You know you have grown up, and I can’t keep feeding you for nothing any longer."These words left the mouth of a middle-aged man who carried a rucksack with two arms. Immediately after, he handed over the rucksack to a young man in front of him, whom he was talking to.The young man's face fell as he reluctantly accepted the rucksack, realizing the weight of his father's words. It was a harsh reminder that he needed to find his own path and take responsibility for his own future. He looked up at his father, determination burning in his eyes.He then nodded. "I understand."He turned his head, gazed at a large ship beside him, and said, "I have to go."He slightly bowed and hastily made his way to the ship. The middle man and two men behind him accompanied him with glum gazes.Circus Gontomn, an 18-year-old young man, recently participated in his final awakening ceremony. Unfortunately,
Circus embarked on his journey with only a handful of garments and some bread loaves stowed in his rucksack. His destination was none other than the Cedarland villages, the most inferior location within the Millennial Empire. These villages lay beyond Olese City, which held the dubious distinction of being the weakest and most inferior city in the entire empire.These locations were infamous for being considered weak and inferior due to their significant population of non-awakened individuals. In addition, poverty and despair were said to reign supreme. However, it was a bit peaceful and secure for ordinary people when compared to other parts of the empire that had many awakened individuals.In esteemed areas such as Oden, where Circus resided with his family, the awakened individuals constituted the majority of the population. A fierce rivalry for power and control prevailed, leaving no room for the non-awakened individuals who were relegated to the roles of mere servants, slaves, an
He awoke once more when the sun was high in the sky, signaling the arrival of a scorching day. After navigating through the building, he refreshed himself by washing his face and consuming his breakfast—simply bread and water. This type of sustenance was new to him, but he had no choice but to adapt and develop a taste for it. As he ate his simple breakfast, he couldn't help but reminisce about the days when he enjoyed a hearty meal with a variety of flavors.After completing his morning meal, he meticulously surveyed the entire premises. Based on certain discoveries, it became evident that the previous occupant of the residence was a farmer. A farmer! Suddenly, a thought sparked in his mind.'Why not pursue a career in farming?'His mouth then moved."Yes, cultivating sustenance for myself. It is far superior to leading an insignificant existence. Furthermore, food is a fundamental necessity for all individuals. What if I could become a producer of food for thousands? I could attain
