I Grow Crops with a System

Not just perfect accuracy, this piece of equipment actually had two of its options sealed.

Ethan carefully observed the bow, then handed it back to Jake.

"Truly magical," Ethan marveled.

"Yes, this bow is quite magical, no matter how you shoot it, it will always hit the target, moreover, it has hidden options," Jake said excitedly.

"Meow, do vampires use bows and arrows too?" Pearl asked.

"Not exactly, I have no interest in fighting, I’m merely interested in the history behind it," Jake explained.

"I am also a historical scholar, which is why I brought this matter up to you," Jake said.

"Then why didn’t you just ask the spirits directly? You should know quite a few spirits, right?" Ethan asked.

"Although I possess the Converse skill and have tried asking the spirits directly, they seem to know absolutely nothing about spirit weapons," Jake said.

"I see."

"I guess spirit weapons must have been crafted by the humans who worshipped the spirits, since I discovered an ancient ruin where humans worshipped spirits, and happened to meet you — a human — I might just be able to find the answers I’m looking for through you." Jake shrugged and looked at Ethan, now it was his turn to be curious about what Ethan needed.

"I also need to hold a Spirit Ritual," Ethan said.

"Oh? Why is that?" Jake asked.

Ethan recounted the sequence of events, after listening, Jake looked around and scratched his cheek.

"No wonder there have been more and more monsters lately, it turns out the spirits’ wrath has descended upon the southern region."

"You didn’t know?" Ethan asked in surprise.

"Vampires’ five senses are relatively dull, if I don’t intentionally pay attention to it, it’s very hard for me to notice such changes, moreover, I don’t have any beastman friends around me," Jake explained.

Ethan was left speechless.

Since both sides had a need, there was no point in wasting any more time, Ethan extended his hand to Jake.

"Pleasure cooperating with you."

"Mhm, a pleasure, by the way, where did you get this ring? My older brother is an extremely cold person, for him to actually give you his own ring, it seems he trusts you deeply." Jake looked at the ring on Zharok’s hand.

"You can understand it as a master and disciple relationship."

Ethan had learned Shatter from Walter, so putting it that way wasn’t exactly wrong, he told Jake about how he and Walter met, and Jake listened with great interest.

"Moonlight Tomato Juice? I’d like to try that too," Jake said, his eyes lighting up.

"I don’t have the ingredients right now, next time I make some, I’ll bring it over."

"Fair enough, then let’s first discuss the steps of the Spirit Ritual."

Jake brought out a small booklet from the cabin and began to read aloud.

"To hold a Spirit Ritual, first, the human must prepare food for the spirit, and it must be delicious food."

’Does that mean making Delicious grade food? That wouldn’t be difficult, I have the Cauldron of Blessing, and the southern region isn’t lacking in ingredients either, if all else fails, I can just grow them myself.’

Seeing Ethan nod, Jake turned the page.

"Secondly, the human must prepare a gift for the spirit, this gift must be very special, if it is not prepared properly, the Spirit Ritual will fail."

"Very special means...?" Ethan asked.

"It probably refers to a Well-crafted grade item, or a highly precious treasure."

"Meow! Let’s use pottery then, meow~" Pearl suggested.

"Good idea," Ethan agreed.

"Pottery?" It was Jake’s first time hearing the word, he tilted his head in confusion.

Pearl proudly puffed out its chest. "That is a special vessel that only Ethan can make, meow~"

"Although I don’t know what it is, seeing how confident you are, it must be something good, then it’s settled, and then... right, you must also hold the ceremony, this is very simple — you just need to pray."

Fortunately, these three conditions weren’t too difficult.

Then there was no need to waste time, Ethan stood up at once.

"I want to hold the Spirit Ritual at the Hill of Spirits, if we can successfully hold the ritual there, we’ll head to your ancient ruin afterward."

"Alright," Jake nodded.

When Ethan returned to the Ape Beastman village, the Ape Beastmen were bustling about, they were likely assembling the search party for Raul.

"Just like the Canine Beastmen in the Central Region, couldn’t you just send beastmen with a keen sense of smell to search for him?" Ethan asked.

"The environment in the south is very complex, it’s very difficult to find someone relying solely on smell."

"If they pass through a swampy area, the scent vanishes."

"Then I’ll leave the task of finding Raul to you guys, you can handle it, right?" Ethan asked.

"Leave it to us! By the way, what about the Spirit Ritual?!"

"First, I need to prepare food... Can you provide me with some ingredients?"

"Feel free to use anything in our warehouse."

After saying that, Magic led the fully prepared Ape Beastmen out of the village, Ethan watched them disappear into the distance.

Then, guided by another Ape Beastman, he arrived at the village warehouse.

"Wow! It’s honey, meow!!"

As soon as the doors opened, Pearl spotted a jar of honey, the golden honey radiated an enticing luster inside the clay jar.

Ethan took a careful look at the jar, then shifted his gaze elsewhere.

"Ethan! It’s honey~"

"It’s not very appropriate to cook with honey right now, hmm... let me see."

The vast majority of items in the warehouse were fruits, fortunately, there were also some seasonings, Ethan grabbed some seasonings and walked out.

"Did you find what you wanted?" the Ape Beastman asked.

"I’m still missing a lot, I need meat, fish..."

"We can just go catch those things for you, what else do you need?"

"Do you not have any vegetables here?" Ethan asked.

"Um... it’s been too hot lately, many plants have died."

’So the heat killed most of the vegetables.’

There was nothing he could do about it, Ethan decided to take matters into his own hands, he asked Lachipi, "Do you have any fertile land here that can be farmed?"

"Hmm? You want to farm here?" Lachipi asked in surprise.

"I have no choice, I can’t exactly cook a meal without ingredients, after all, right, I also need some seeds."

"We do still have some seeds, wait here a moment."

Lachipi left and returned holding several small cloth bags, among them were seeds of Sweet Beets and Vitality Cabbage that Ethan recognized, as well as some he had never seen before.

"What is this..." Ethan pointed at the unfamiliar seeds.

"This is a Rock Potato."

"A Rock Potato is a type of potato that is as hard as a rock, meow, after being roasted, its texture becomes soft and sweet, but if it’s not prepared well, it will be as hard to swallow as an actual rock, meow~" Pearl explained.

If it hadn’t been for Pearl’s explanation, Ethan would have truly thought it was a rock, he carefully observed the appearance of the Rock Potato and the other seeds, then accepted them.

Lachipi asked worriedly, "You want to plant these? Will you have enough time?"
