"Shadowed werewolf zone: Level 0"

4. Garden, toolsmitch and a hoe

THE NEXT MORNING

AT MICHAEL'S POV:

I woke up pretty late. It was time for some food. Today I be working on garden and it seems I need to check notice board after breakfast because I need money first. As soon as I finished eating I got to the notice board and it seemed that the easiest way to get money was to gather flowers for some points. Damn, these tasks can be pretty boring. It is going to be annoying, but it seems that I have no other choice.

"What's wrong?"I heard a voice and I saw Wanessa who was looking at me.

"I was looking at the board and only one task fitted is a flower shop order. I can make it work, but it sounds so borring."I said.

"I will help you. We are teammates after all."She said.

"I am so happy that I am not alone here."I said.

"Me too, Michael."Wanessa said and nodded.

In a few hours find myself and Wanessa standing at the edge of a vast, lush meadow, as far as the eye can see, colorful flowers sway in the breeze under a radiant sky. Each step I take brings me closer to the vibrant field of flowers. I am happy to see that this game has some beautiful spots like this.

"I like it here,"I said.

"Me too,"Wanessa said.

The scent of the blossoms fills the air, a fragrant bouquet of nature's perfume. I choose a path that winds through the meadow, and my footsteps rustle the grass and leaves beneath. The flowers, in their multitude of colors, surround me like an ocean and I know it is not easy to find needed ones. I tilt my head down to examine them up close. I reach out my hand to run it through the flowers, and I can feel the soft petals and the cool breeze on my skin.

"We should start looking for it."I said.

"I think I saw them."She said.

I nodded and started gathering those 25 petals needed to get 50 copper coins for this task. I hope that my 60 copper coins be enough to buy a home and some seeds. In an hour we are ready to go to the flower shop.

As soon as we back to the town I started looking for a flower shop. I am surprised that nature in this game is so pretty but the town atmosphere is not. It might be part of the game concept.

"I see flower shop."I said.

"I see it too. Let's go."Wanessa said and I fallowed her lead.

As soon as we got inside I saw a person already looking for us.

"We here for flowers task."I said and showed flowers.

"Here are your 50 copper coins."An oc said.

I nodded and left with Wanessa. Appearently she did same one too for some extra money.

"Now we need toolsmith for hoe and then we need seeds."I said.

"Seeds you can get while gathering grass and other stuff. I show you."She said.

I nodded and smiled. It is so nice to have Wanessa around. She is so cool.

"Thanks." I said and kissed her hand.

I saw how she blushed and it was so cute. I think that I starting to like her. Time to look for toolsmith.

-----

It took me a while, but soon we have reached a needed location. A place where we are supposed to get a hoe. It's the local toolsmith's establishment, and I'm immediately drawn to the flickering light emanating from its open doorway. As I step inside, the rich, metallic scent of hot steel and burning coal greets me.

"I think that we are here."I said.

"I think so too."Wanessa said.

I nodded and stepped inside the toolsmith's location. His shop is a cozy, rustic place. The walls are adorned with various needed items, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of the toolsmith. In one corner, a massive stone forge stands with an anvil next to it, both bathed in the fiery glow of the burning coals within.

"It seems that you two came here for something."An oc said.

"We need a hoe to build a garden."I said.

"I see. You need to pay 10 copper coins for it."An oc said.

I nodded and gave him 10 copper coins.

"It seems that's all or now. If you need something you can come here again. "He said.

I nodded and smiled before leaving this shop with Wanessa.

-----

As soon as we reached the safe zone, it was time for us to build a garden. As I stand before the untouched soil, I open my inventory and select the necessary tools. Everything and a hoe that I just got and started my work.

It's satisfying to see the rich, brown earth being exposed. I started marking it enough deep and then making sure if I was going to water it, that nothing was going to drown. I plant the seeds, careful to space them just right. As I lower them into the earth, a sense of hope fills me. I imagine these tiny seeds growing into a vibrant, blooming garden. The gentle click of the seeds settling into the soil is a satisfying sound.

"It looks so nice."I said as I finished it.

"We finally done it."Wanessa said.

The garden is completed. Congratulations.

Since this task got completed it was time for us to have some rest. I felt happy since now I wanted for some seeds to grow.

"What we are going to do now?"Wanessa asked.

"I was thinking of something to upgrade my home. I need to check new tasks tomorrow."I said.

"See you soon."She said and left.

I nodded and went to my inn room. I started checking some books about this game history and since it's starting getting colder a furnace is going to be next item I need. Time to look to get some information for it.
