I Grow Crops with a System

The seeds sprouted right after being planted.

Ethan was stunned, he clearly hadn’t used Growth Acceleration.

’It seems the greenhouse’s growth effect kicked in on its own.’

"This is truly amazing, meow..." Pearl’s eyes went wide, it stared in disbelief at the rapidly growing seedlings in front of it.

"Yeah, if we make good use of the greenhouse, cultivating seeds should be very easy." Ethan rubbed his chin, calculating in his mind.

If he expanded the area of the greenhouse, or built a few more, growing crops would become much easier.

Looking at the sprouted crops, he said to Pearl, "Let’s wait and see how they grow."

"Got it, meow!" Pearl nodded obediently.

"Should I go grab a few chairs?" Zharok offered.

"Forry for the trouble."

Zharok brought over a few chairs from the wooden cabin, and the three of them decided to sit down and observe.

Although the Sun Stones were radiating heat, Ethan still kept his eyes glued to the crops. He could see the seedlings slowly growing.

’What if I use Growth Acceleration now...?’

He activated the ability.

The crops’ growth noticeably accelerated.

"They’re growing even faster! Is it time to fertilize, meow?" Pearl caught the change at once.

"It is."

The Frost Fruit seedlings had grown enough to be called saplings, Ethan fertilized and watered them, then did the same for the Wind Banana trees.

When he finished, he turned to Zharok and Pearl, both of whom were yawning. "You two get some rest, I’ll watch them a while longer."

"Meow... will you be okay alone, meow?" Pearl asked.

"What problem could there be?" Ethan smiled.

"Then I’ll go rest, make sure you come back and rest early too." Zharok led Pearl out of the greenhouse.

Zharok and Pearl went to sleep.

But Ethan remained fully focused on the Frost Fruit and Wind Banana trees, he watered them, fertilized them, thinned the flowers, and pollinated them, just like that, he stood guard over them for the entire night.

"Meow~! Did you not sleep all night, meow?" Early the next morning, when Pearl woke up and saw Ethan still keeping watch in the greenhouse, it asked in surprise.

"Hmm? Ah, perfect timing, keep an eye on them for me — I’m going to check on the farmland." Ethan rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard?" Pearl looked at Ethan with concern.

"I just skipped sleep for one night, it’s no big deal." Ethan smiled to show he was fine.

Although the fruit trees in the greenhouse were important, he couldn’t neglect the crops in the farmland either.

Ethan left the greenhouse to Pearl and Zharok, then headed to the farmland.

Unlike the crops in the greenhouse, there was no activity from the crops in the farmland yet.

"What a pity." Ethan pulled weeds and thought.

’The Growth effect of the greenhouse comes from the Hammer of Gaia... maybe I can obtain other effects too.’

If he built a greenhouse that possessed different effects, what characteristics would the crops inside have?

Ethan continued to think while weeding, he pulled out all the weeds in the farmland, then stood up, he stretched his lower back, stiff from sitting for so long.

At that moment, he noticed the Goddess Gaia statue.

The statue wore a benevolent smile, its body covered in dust, Ethan took a clean towel, wiped the statue clean, and then observed it carefully.

Although it couldn’t compare to the greenhouse, the crops in this farmland also grew very quickly, and the quality of the harvested crops was excellent.

If this was all the credit of the Goddess Gaia statue... could he move it into the greenhouse?

Ethan rubbed his chin, looked at the statue, and then shook his head.

’I can’t neglect the farmland either.’

The crops in the farmland were not only used for trading with the elves but also met his daily living needs, if the Goddess Gaia statue truly helped the farmland, moving it away wouldn’t be a wise choice.

’The best solution is to find another Goddess Gaia statue... Looks like I’ll have to visit some ancient ruins.’ He made up his mind.

"Hey!! Ethan!!" Zharok’s shout came from a distance.

"Hmm? What’s wrong?"

"They bore fruit!!" Excitement filled Zharok’s voice.

Ethan and Zharok quickly ran to the greenhouse, they opened the door and saw that small Frost Fruits had grown where the flowers had withered.

"Wow... this is incredible, it only took one day to bear fruit..." Zharok marveled.

"Meow! I saw it with my own eyes, meow! It’s truly amazing, meow!" Pearl said excitedly, its voice even trembling a little.

Ethan picked up Pearl and carefully observed the Frost Fruit trees.

They looked perfectly fine, he fertilized and watered the Frost Fruit trees, then went over to check on the Wind Banana trees.

The Wind Banana trees hadn’t borne fruit yet, but it was only a matter of time.

"This is truly amazing, to be able to grow southern crops in the central region, and for them to grow so fast," Zharok sighed in admiration.

"It shouldn’t just be the greenhouse’s credit, meow, Ethan, is it because you planted them that they grew so fast, meow?" Pearl tilted its head.

"Perhaps." Ethan looked at his own hands and smiled.

"We should be able to drink Frost Fruit juice by tomorrow," he said.

"That’s wonderful, meow~!" Pearl cheered.

...

The next day.

Ethan worked the farmland bright and early, then went to the greenhouse and smiled with satisfaction.

The Frost Fruit trees had borne even more fruit, and the Wind Banana trees had started fruiting too.

"Meow, the bananas aren’t ripe yet, meow~" Pearl pointed at the Wind Bananas and said regretfully.

"Yeah, it’s a pity, let’s wait a bit longer. Also..." Ethan paused and looked at Zharok.

"The Frost Fruits should be ripe, right?"

Zharok looked at the Frost Fruits and swallowed hard.

He was right, every single fruit on the Frost Fruit trees was the size of a fist, with orange-yellow skin, they looked completely ripe.

Ethan picked a Frost Fruit, peeled the skin, and shared the flesh with Pearl and Zharok.

"Ah~! So cool!" Zharok took a bite and instantly felt a refreshing coolness spread throughout his entire body.

"Sweet and sour, meow~!" Pearl was also full of praise.

"If there are seeds, collect them, I’m going to build another greenhouse," Ethan said.

It seemed this greenhouse would be exclusively used for growing Wind Bananas and Frost Fruits.

Ethan also picked up a Frost Fruit and popped it into his mouth, the greenhouse was very hot, and he was covered in sweat, but as soon as the Frost Fruit hit his tongue, he felt cool all over.

The flesh was sweet, sour, and delicious, with an endless aftertaste, even tastier than the Frost Fruits he had eaten in the Ape Beastman village.

Ethan was very satisfied with his results.

He picked a few more Frost Fruits and put them into his leather bag.

"Let’s go eat," Ethan said.

"Okay~!"

"Meow, meow~!"
