Capítulo 7: Family Fonversation

Chapter 7

"Why are you being so mischievous, Rose? Playing outside again?" complained a middle-aged woman's voice from inside the house.

"Ah, no, Mother. I just saw my brother..." Rose replied, sounding sulky.

"Has your brother come home yet? Tell him to come inside and have dinner immediately!" shouted Russell's mother from inside.

"Brother, did you hear that? You better come in quickly, or you'll get scolded again!"

Alex, unsure of what to do about his sister, listened to their conversation. The girl bore a striking resemblance to Russell but in a feminine form. She had a sharp jawline, wide eyes, and neatly shaped thin eyebrows, which added to her cuteness and suited her age well.

Alex recalled that this "younger sister" was only two years old when he joined the military. It was understandable that the girl didn't know what her brother looked like since he had never been home since enlisting.

"Um, well, you should go in and eat too."

"Uh, okay!"

As Alex entered the house, his daughter greeted him with a curious look. It seemed that Lilith had a lot to say and do with her father. When the girl noticed the bag that Alex was carrying, her eyes lit up with excitement.

"Wow, a cute chubby bunny!"

With that, Lilith ran toward Alex in excitement, momentarily forgetting her shyness in front of her father. This caught everyone's attention, and people started gathering around.

Mrs. Greenfield, curious about the commotion, asked, "What's all the noise about?"

"Well, look, brother, I brought a bunch of chubby rabbits!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Greenfield approached and, upon confirming that they were indeed rabbits, couldn't help but reminisce.

"Remember not to go to Mount Russell. It's not safe. Besides wild boars, some tigers and bears are not easily provoked."

Lily and Lilith, upon hearing this, showed approval on their faces.

"Don't worry, Mother, don't you remember that your son is a soldier?"

"Soldiers? Let's see if soldiers can survive after being bitten by a tiger. And look at your missing hand. Don't be too reckless in the future!"

Alex could only smile wryly upon hearing his mother's words. Naturally, he wasn't afraid of tigers, thanks to his training as a special forces soldier and the knowledge he gained from the palm leaf books. However, since he couldn't provide further explanations, Alex simply agreed with his mother.

"Alright, Mom..."

"Alright, everyone, let's wash our hands and eat..."

At the dining table, six people were enjoying their meal.

"Wow, this soup is delicious! How did you make it like this?" Rose asked, savoring the flavor.

"Oh, it's delicious because it was made from the cute chubby rabbit earlier," Alex replied casually and playfully.

Upon hearing this, Rose immediately stopped chewing. Lilith, who was in the midst of eagerly putting meat into her mouth, felt betrayed.

"Brother, is that true? How could you be so heartless to cook such a cute fat rabbit!"

Seeing their reactions, Alex felt a bit amused. "If you don't want it, you don't have to eat it. You can finish it on your own," Alex suggested.

But before he could even pick up the bowl of soup, the two girls quickly scooped up a large portion of it. Even the usually quiet Lilith couldn't resist joining in.

"Auntie, leave me a little bit!"

"Eh, why are you taking it away from your aunt? Can't you ask your father to cook it every day?"

"N-No, I want to eat it now!"

"Rose, don't tease your Niece," Greenfield's mother interjected.

"Alright, Mom..."

With that, the people at the dinner table continued to enjoy their meal. Even the three adults who tasted the soup that Alex had made were pleasantly surprised.

"It's delicious. No wonder these two little girls are willing to have that cute rabbit cooked" remarked one of the adults.

Alex, seeing that the dish he prepared was being well-received, smiled. It would be strange if it didn't taste good since he followed the recipe from the palm leaf book. He also added a little bit of dew of life.

"It seems like your culinary skills have developed a lot while you were away. With this talent alone, you can support your family," Father Greenfield commented, nodding.

Upon hearing this, Alex smiled wryly. He understood the meaning behind his father's words. He had caused his wife and daughter to endure a lot during his absence. When Alex wasn't at home, his wife had to work in his father's garden. However, his wife was very principled and didn't want too much help from her in-laws. This situation made Greenfield's father and mother feel sorry for their daughter-in-law.

"Speaking of supporting the family, what are your plans after this?" Dad asked.

Alex had been dreading this question for a long time.

"I've signed a contract to take over Mary's farm on the mountainside in our village," Alex replied cautiously.

"Oh, really?" Greenfield's mother's shocked voice could be heard immediately.

Lily knew that her husband had taken over Mary's farming contract, but she didn't understand why her mother was reacting this way now.

"Don't you know? Farming is completely unprofitable! There are very few water sources in those areas, and the available water sources are far away. On top of that, the farm is said to be heavily in debt, estimated to be over a million dollars," Greenfield's mother explained.

"Is that true?" Lily gasped, taken aback.

She had thought that her husband, who retired from the army, would be able to support them properly. She had also been looking forward to the fruit farm that he had told her about. But she had no idea that it would come with such a huge debt.

Lily couldn't be blamed for her lack of knowledge. The farm was operated covertly, involved in illegal activities, and was never taken seriously.

Greenfield's father frowned as if he had anticipated something bad happening.

Seeing that everyone was in a sour mood, Alex hurriedly tried to explain.

"Please, everyone, calm down. During my time in the army, I gained knowledge and connections in the field of agriculture. So running the farm in the future won't be as difficult as it seems..."

"Young man, it's not as easy as you say. Your father and I have struggled to manage our family's 3-hectare land. And you claim you can handle 10 acres? Aren't you being too ambitious?" Greenfield's mother interrupted.

"I... I..." Alex stammered, trying to find the right words.

"Come on, your son is already grown up. Whatever decision he makes, he must carry it out and take responsibility for it. He will have to face the consequences and hardships. There's no need for us to overthink it," Greenfield's father intervened.

"But..." Greenfield's mother still seemed dissatisfied.

"Let's just continue eating," Father Greenfield interjected, ending the conversation.

The extended family then resumed eating in an atmosphere that was not as warm as before.

After Alex's father, mother, and younger sister returned to their own house, Alex was met with a displeased look from his wife.

Sensing her dissatisfaction, Alex felt guilty and took the initiative to explain.

"Don't worry, Lily. I won't let you suffer in the future. I am one hundred percent confident in the prospects of this farm..."

Lily stared at Alex for a while without uttering a word, but her face displayed a sense of complaint.

After a few moments of silence, she sighed helplessly.

"Sigh... well, I'll always support whatever you decide to do..."

Alex smiled gratefully upon seeing her response. Despite receiving many complaints, Lily was still willing to stick by his side. This further strengthened Alex's resolve to build a happy and prosperous family with them, becoming the happiest family in the world.

...

At eight in the morning, Alex walked towards the mountainside where his farm was located. As he made his way there, he noticed people casting strange glances in his direction.

Momentarily distracted and confused, Alex continued until he came across someone familiar.

"Hello, Uncle Yas."

"Oh, it's you, Russell. Are you headed to Mary's farm?" the uncle asked.

"How did you know, Uncle?" Alex was taken aback. He had only shared this information with his family.

"In our village, everyone knows that you, Russell, a retired soldier, have taken over a struggling farm. Are you sure about this decision? Your wife and child have endured hardships for a long time," the uncle expressed his concern and inquired further, adding a touch of gossip.

"Oh, is the news spreading so quickly? It has only been a few hours!" Alex exclaimed in surprise, realizing how fast rumors traveled.

He proceeded to explain his intentions at length, hoping that his words would spread as quickly as the previous gossip. However, he didn't want to burden his wife with the details.

"Ah, Uncle, I understand that my wife and child have been through a lot recently. Naturally, I want to help them. As for the fruit farm, even though it's currently facing financial difficulties, I am confident that under my management, it will eventually become a profitable venture."

Hearing this, Uncle Yas shook his head with uncertainty, but still offered his best wishes and encouragement.

"Alright, I understand that you want the best for your family. I hope your words come true. And if you need any help along the way, don't hesitate to ask."

"Thank you, Uncle. I will seek your help when the time comes," Alex replied sincerely.

"Don't mention it. Take care, Uncle!" Alex bid farewell.

"Yes, take care on your way!"

As Uncle Yas departed, Alex smiled wryly. It was evident that his journey would be challenging, as even the villagers seemed to have already condemned his newly acquired farm.

Capítulo 8: First Move

Chapter 8

After a while of walking, Alex finally arrived in front of a dilapidated farm gate. Chaos reigned everywhere, with grass and weeds thriving in the neglected fields. It would take a considerable amount of time to completely restore this place.

Alex entered the farm and assessed the condition of its facilities. After walking around for a while, he felt somewhat satisfied with the state of the farm. Despite the lack of maintenance, with a few repairs, the facilities seemed to be functional again.

However, Alex's attention turned to the most crucial aspect of the fruit farm. He made his way toward the orchard, feeling a tinge of disappointment. While he knew not to expect much, he didn't anticipate things to be this dire.

Mary's plantation consisted of five types of fruit: apples, pears, peaches, plums, and kiwis. Each fruit had its two-hectare plot. The trees that should have been in full bloom appeared weak and unattractive. It could be said that these farm trees were even more unsightly than wild trees.

Alex doubted whether the nutrient solution would be ready in such a short time to help these trees bear fruit within a few months. The plums and peaches were due to ripen soon, but he wasn't optimistic about the outcome in just a matter of days.

Despite having the dew from the Tree of Life, Alex was hesitant to use it to nourish these trees. He preferred to utilize a nutrient solution he had acquired over the years. With determination, he approached one of the trees, carefully examining its overall condition before digging into the soil. He repeated this process for different trees and areas.

After conducting these assessments, Alex made some calculations that he could refer to. Once he had a clear understanding of the farm's situation, he descended from the mountain.

In the village, these days marked the harvest season for the local gardens, including Alex's father's family garden.

Looking at the bustling garden, Alex approached his father with a question.

"Father, did you have a good harvest?"

"Yeah, it was good..."

"Well, it looks like Father is going to be wealthy then..."

"Who's wealthy? Don't you know that half of it will be distributed to your uncles and aunts in the city?"

Upon hearing this, Alex was reminded that the land didn't solely belong to his family but also to his uncle and aunt. His father had been entrusted to cultivate it since his uncle and aunt were too busy in the city to tend to the farm.

"Ah, I see, Daddy. Please give me some vegetables and whatever is left from the harvest," Alex requested.

"The leftovers? You mean the stems, roots, and other useless parts?" his father questioned.

"Yes, I need those," Alex replied without further explanation.

Observing this, Greenfield's father grew suspicious about what his son intended to do. Nevertheless, since those parts were of little value to him, he gladly handed them over.

After receiving the vegetables and leftovers from his father, Alex headed towards the reservoir. Although he was tempted to fish, that wasn't his primary objective at the moment. His farm lacked water, and he planned to redirect the water from the reservoir to his fields.

For many people, this task might seem challenging, but for Alex, who possessed a space ring, it was easier than buying a water pump or digging a well.

Feeling uncertain about his actions, Alex cautiously surveyed his surroundings. The reservoir area was quite exposed, and he feared being discovered, which would bring disaster upon his family.

With these concerns in mind, Alex undressed and plunged into the water. Once he determined the correct depth, he began transferring the water from the reservoir into the storage chamber of his ring.

As a result, some of the water from the reservoir vanished suddenly. The water level dropped above Alex, creating a swirling vortex that, if witnessed by others, might give the impression that a mysterious creature lurked within.

Alex resurfaced from the water after a few moments.

"Ah, it seems that drinking the dew of life and practicing martial arts have greatly improved my physical condition," Alex remarked, satisfied with his progress.

Upon reaching the coastal plains, Alex began using his mind to examine the contents of the space ring. He discovered that there was some water floating in the dark, static space. The space ring not only contained rooms for hills and sand but also had static dark spaces. This finding naturally resolved many of Alex's problems. He felt content when he saw the water, and he had also unintentionally caught fish and other freshwater creatures during his water transfer.

Alex decided to take out some of the fish to avoid raising suspicion, then headed home with his various belongings. It was not yet noon when he arrived, and his wife and daughter had not returned from his father's garden.

With that in mind, Alex started cooking. After all, what kind of father would he be if he saw his daughter looking thin and weary?

A while later, Lily and Lilith arrived home, covered in dirt. Alex felt a bit helpless upon seeing their condition, but he could only encourage them to proceed.

"Alright, wash your hands, and let's eat. Father has already prepared food for Lilith."

"Really, Daddy?"

"Just hurry and wash your hands."

"Okay, good!" Lilith's eyes lit up. She knew that her father was a skilled cook.

Observing this, Lily's heart warmed slightly. Although she had many grievances and desired explanations for her husband's ten-year absence, she couldn't bring herself to ask. After all, if her husband wanted to share his story, he would do so without being prompted. Even without receiving explanations for her complaints, she appreciated that her husband was making amends for their daughter.

Lily went to the kitchen to wash her hands and returned to find their daughter eating enthusiastically.

"Hey, Mom, try this fish. It's tender and delicious!" exclaimed their daughter.

Seeing their daughter's eagerness while eating, Alex grew concerned and anxious. "Lilith, eat slowly. The fish isn't going anywhere. Be careful while eating, as it has many bones."

Lilith nodded seriously upon hearing her father's advice, though she continued to eat greedily. The sight of her chewing with puffed cheeks left Alex unsure whether to laugh or be worried.

Observing this, Lily immediately helped her daughter to ensure there were no accidents while eating.

...

After finishing their meal, Lily and Lilith expressed their intention to return to Alex's father's garden to continue picking the harvested vegetables.

Upon hearing this, Alex quickly inquired, "Are there any vegetables left?"

Lily, slightly puzzled, replied, "Yes, there are still some, but not too many."

After some thought, Alex made a request, "Alright, please tell Dad that I need a few thousand pounds of those vegetables."

Lily hesitated, feeling uncertain. "Why do we need so many vegetables? Our family of three can't consume them all."

"No, it's not for us. Just let Dad know, and I'll give you the money later."

Hearing this, Lily nodded in agreement and made a mental note to relay her husband's request to her father.

Lily and Lilith went to the garden with a livelier and more energetic demeanor.

Left alone at home, Alex used his cell phone to browse the internet and search for information. After a while, he jotted down the information from his phone and his thoughts in a book. Alex filled the pages until there was no space left.

Satisfied with his notes, Alex got up and went to the kitchen to retrieve a cup. He then proceeded to collect the dew of life and drank it directly. This time, Alex didn't experience any discomfort while consuming the liquid.

With everything prepared, Alex adjusted his posture and closed his eyes solemnly.

Alex meticulously set the rhythm of his breath, measuring each inhale, hold, and exhale. As he focused on his breathing, the image of Alex sitting became almost ethereal, as if he were not entirely real.

In this state, Alex was engaged in meditation, or rather, a form of "breathing" with a sense of self-awareness and profound enlightenment. Through this practice, the cells in his body gradually received nourishment and strengthened.

After three hours of sitting, Alex opened his eyes with a serene and composed expression. "Ah, I finally made a breakthrough!" he exclaimed with joy.

Alex's meditation was different from cultivating as a mage, knight, or magical being. It did not involve converting core energy from dew to water, nor did it rely on accumulating rune rings in the heart. Instead, his cultivation focused on developing layers of power within the dantian, akin to the growth of onion bulbs.

The energy Alex absorbed was not Reiki, chi, qi, or mana. Rather, it was chakra energy. The cultivation system in Alex's meditation was not well-defined, and he could only consider himself at level one, having cultivated a single layer of power.

With this achievement, Alex had no intention of remaining idle. He returned to the mountain to reach his farm, receiving curious glances and gossip from the villagers along the way. However, he quickly grew accustomed to the attention.

Finally, Alex arrived at the farm after some time. He stood still in one corner for a few seconds, and suddenly, the surrounding grass and weeds disappeared. The bare spot stood in stark contrast to the rest of the area.

"Hmm, this makes me feel a bit lightheaded," Alex remarked, feeling a slight discomfort.
