Yarlow walked out of the grass hut and headed towards the warehouse. He knew that there must be other items in the warehouse; at the very least, he hadn't found the pasture seeds that the system had awarded him.
Soon, Yarlow reached the outside of the warehouse. The warehouse looked very ordinary, just a small grass hut with a wooden door on top.
Yarlow touched the wooden door, and a prompt immediately sounded, "Warehouse can store items, unlimited in type and quantity, maintains consistency when storing and retrieving items, can be used outside of space. Current items: Pasture Seeds (6 bags)."
Yarlow couldn't help but think about the pasture seeds. Just as he thought about it, six small cloth bags appeared in front of him, with the words "Pasture Seeds" written on them.
Yarlow was happy that it was easy to use the warehouse, and now he thought about how, in the Boundless Continent, Storage Tools were rare, and only some higher nobles could have them. He didn't know how much space those storage tools had, but he believed that there might be no storage tools in this world that could store infinitely. Another thing to note was that his warehouse could store low-intelligence beings. It would be great if his warehouse could store humans, but since humans are high-intelligence beings, he couldn't store them.
Yarlow smiled faintly, turned around, and returned to the grass hut. He sat down on the grass bed and quietly sorted through his gains. With this space, he had arable land and drinking water that could greatly accelerate crop maturity by ten times. It was wonderful; he wouldn't have to worry about himself or his people starving from now on.
Right now, he had six bags of pasture seeds and 500 gold coins. Although he couldn't take out gold coins from the Farming System, he could use them in the Farming Shop.
Most importantly, he currently had ten acres of land and an inexhaustible water source. With these two items, he could try to improve the black soil on his territory. However, the first thing he needed to do was to plant some seeds in these ten acres of land.
Yarlow knew that pasture seeds were useless right now, so he opened the shop interface and saw images of various crops with their prices, just like in the game.
Yarlow glanced at the interface and realized that it was indeed similar to the game, with all the settings in place. He was only at level 1, and the only seeds he could plant were pasture, radish, carrot, and cabbage. He couldn't plant any others.
Yarlow tried clicking on a level 2 crop seed, and the interface immediately displayed, "Your level is not sufficient."
He could only plant these four crops. Without hesitation, Yarlow chose radish seeds. Each bag of radish seeds cost 150 gold coins, and each bag could plant ten acres of land, yielding nearly 50,000 kilograms of radishes. Selling them to the system's shop would net him 1,000 gold coins.
So, just buying 300 gold coins worth of radishes would profit him 700 gold coins.
"No, I also need to pay 1 gold coin to the farmer every day, and 10 gold coins for him to seed the radish and 10 gold coins to harvest. Now, usually, radishes take 60 days to grow, but considering ten times the speed with water, it will take 6 days to mature. Calculating all of this," Yarlow covered his mouth as he muttered, "I need to pay 300 gold coins for radish bag, 10 gold coins for seeding, so 310 gold coins. 10 gold coins for harvesting so 320 gold coins, now it would take six days to mature, one day for seeding and one day for harvesting, so eight days farmer paycheck, in total 328 gold coins.Still, I'll profit 672 gold coins in six days, monthly 2,690, but I can't use this money other than in the Farming System, which is bad."
Yarlow calculated everything, then he ordered the farmer to plant the radish, and he looked at the farmer working on it. Actually, carrots could earn him more than radishes, but radishes earned him more experience, so he thought about it and decided to plant radishes to earn experience and level up as soon as possible.
Seeing that it would take a long time to finish planting the field, Yarlow thought about leaving the space. With a thought, he returned to his room in Iron Mountain Castle. He glanced at the sky outside; he couldn't confirm the time ratio in the Farming System and the outside world, but he had to check it out soon.
Yarlow smiled as he thought about the Farming System. With this system, he might not achieve his dream of becoming the supreme master, but he could achieve his dream of having the biggest harem.
Yarlow was excited for that day.
However, before he could acquire the power to protect himself, he must stay low-key.
One thing Yarlow knew very well was that letting others see his potential that could threaten them was asking them to kill him. The king and higher nobility might not pay attention to Yarlow, but James and Elsie were different. They two were powerful people around the world, and the king and higher nobility paid attention to them, so undoubtedly he was also going to be in their radar, so he must stay low-key and build power slowly.
He had a Farming System to hide in now, but Elsie and others who were close to him didn't have such an ability. Not to mention that if he went into the Farming System in his room, then when he had to exit the Farming System, he would come out in his room.
Although hiding in the Farming System was great, it's still not the safest option. So the safest option was only to gain strength enough to fight back against those higher nobles.
As Yarlow was contemplating these matters, there was suddenly a knock at the door. Yarlow was momentarily surprised but quickly said, "Come in."
Aya pushed the door open and walked in, keeping her head down and avoiding eye contact with Yarlow. She respectfully greeted him, "Master," and then fell silent.
Seeing Aya's behavior, Yarlow's mouth twitched. He looked at her, and he had to say that she was a beautiful girl. However, the previous Yarlow had a bad relationship with her, so now she wouldn't even dare to look at his face. The current Yarlow had to think of something to improve their relationship.
Watching Aya, Yarlow thought for a while and decided that first, he had to show Aya that he had changed, not just by words but by actions.
He spoke, "I don't have any tasks for you right now. You can go rest and just wake me up at dinner time."
Aya acknowledged with a nod and then left, closing the door behind her.
Yarlow started thinking about the current situation. Currently, he was growing radishes in his spatial farm. If he sold these radishes to the system, he could earn at least 1,000 gold coins. In other words, he could make 672 gold coins.
He could also take these radishes out of the warehouse and have James sell them in other parts of the Boundless Continent. This might earn him even more gold coins. However, he had to check the price of radishes in this continent and, more importantly, whether this world had radishes.
Previous Yarlow never cared about vegetables, so he didn't know about the vegetables of this world; he only cared about eating.
If he could sell them outside the world at a higher price than the system, then he would sell them outside the world; if not, then there was nothing to worry about.
Radishes were valuable, and the system only required radishes, not the leaves. Radish leaves were actually quite tasty when pickled and could be turned into a delicious dish.
Furthermore, radish leaves could also be used as animal feed for herbivorous creatures. He could start a ranch and increase their meat production.
Although he couldn't open a ranch in the Farming System yet due to his current level, he could start one in his territory.
He currently had a large piece of land, a mountain, a barren area, and a corpse swamp. All of these were his territories, but turning them into something useful would require a lot of time and effort.
Yarlow only hoped that the water and land in the Farming System could truly transform the Black Soil Wasteland. If that were the case, he would have a vast expanse of arable land, and land was fundamentally essential no matter the circumstances.
As for the issue of labor, Yarlow wasn't worried about it because he knew that in this world, there was a type of person that Earth didn't have: slaves.
He could buy a teacher from the system and let the teacher teach the slaves advanced-level farming. He could use farmers directly, but farmers needed one gold coin a day, while slaves only needed a place to spend the night and three meals a day.
So, slaves were cheap compared to farmers from the system, and one farmer could only work around 10 acres of land; he wouldn't work more than that. If Yarlow needed to plant 20 acres of land, then he needed two farmers, otherwise, it's impossible to plant 20 acres of land.
So, slaves were the best option. As long as he had money, he could buy many slaves, and their lives and deaths were entirely in his hands. They were absolutely loyal to him and wouldn't run away because each slave bore a unique mark of their family. If someone discovered that a slave had run away without their owner's consent, the consequences would be dire.
So, as long as his farm could generate income, he didn't need to worry about labor. There were plenty of slaves on the continent. Even those who weren't originally slaves could become ones if someone needed them and offered a suitable price. Nobles owned everything; this world was that simple.
But given Yarlow's current status, if he suddenly acquired a large number of slaves, it would surely attract attention, so he would do this step by step.
With these thoughts in mind, Yarlow finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly lay down on the bed and gazed at the stone ceiling. He couldn't help but sigh again. In this place, there were no entertainment facilities at all. How could he pass his time here? It would take some time to acquire women for some entertainment.
However, soon he felt tired and unconsciously drifted into a deep sleep.
