Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

The contempt of others did not affect Sean's determination to revive the farm. Instead, it greatly stimulated Sean's determination to prove himself.

Back at the farm, he packed up the daily necessities he had purchased.

It was late at night, so I boiled some water and simply wiped my body.

Sean sat at the desk in his bedroom and started keeping accounts.

-----------------

Wednesday, February 2:

Total cost: 1900G

Ticket: 90G

Restaurant meals: 10G

Pots and pans, a bag of rice, condiments, a week's worth of food, toiletries, daily necessities, etc.: 1800G

Income: 0

Assets: G

-----------------

After closing the account book, Sean took out another notebook and opened it.

A tree-shaped mind map appears on the paper, starting from "How to Run a Farm Well", and each node forms a complete thinking chain.

Picking up a pen, Sean crossed out the taxes that were extended from the cost column, and then made a big asterisk mark on the transportation part. There were columns of various sizes next to it, such as production partners, distributors, publicity, product advantages, warehousing, etc.

Sean paused and wrote:

[There is already an orchard. After taking good care of it, considering factors such as transportation costs, mechanization level, and manpower, it is not suitable for large-scale planting. First, reclaim wasteland on a small scale and grow seedlings. Communicate more with the villagers to find Stardew Valley specialty farms suitable for long-distance transportation to process products. ]

[Communicate more with Pierre to learn about the purchase. Since there is still some time before spring, we can wait to decide what to choose after we understand the land, climate, characteristic industries, humanities, costs, purchase prices and other factors.]

[The war happened a hundred years ago. If you have a chance, go to the town’s museum to see if there are any local chronicles and learn about the family history. ]

……

Time slowly passed as I wrote and drew, and the bright white moon hung high in the vast night sky.

Lying on the bed, Sean's thoughts were racing.

Now that I have come to this world, this place, and inherited this farm, I must work hard to live my life to the fullest and not waste my trip to this strange world.

Maybe fate brought me here so that I could inherit the farm, lead the villagers to wealth, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the peak of my life.

Sean's eyelids slowly started drooping as he lost track of thoughts, and he fell asleep.

-----------------

"Child~child~"

The sound seemed to come from an infinite distance, illusory and yet lingering in the mind, making one want to reach out and grab it but not knowing where to start.

A strong sense of disharmony lingered in his heart, and Sean opened his eyes in a daze.

In the chaotic space, an indescribable giant tree propped up the entire space in the swirling gray fog. The glow radiating from the crystal treetops was submerged and enveloped by the surging fog.

The atmosphere was heavy, like the dark clouds looming before a thunderstorm.

The space barrier supported by tree trunks rippled from time to time with flashes of lightning, causing the gray fog to sweep and surge, as if a huge black shadow was attacking the barrier outside the space.

"Sacrifice~Exchange~Return~" The loud and deafening sound condensed into a few words and injected into Sean's consciousness.

In an instant! Before Sean could digest the information, a tiny crack appeared on the space barrier at the end of the gray fog, and then the entire space collapsed and shattered like a burst dam.

The mist was engulfed in the storm of cracks flashing with electric arcs. Sean's consciousness was also swept into it and drifted with the current. The entire space reversed and quickly retreated, turning into a Xumi and disappearing.

"hu~hu~"

Sean sat up in bed in shock.

At this moment, the delayed feeling of weightlessness just now swept over me like a surging tide, the world was spinning, cold sweat was soaking my whole body, and heavy breathing filled the entire bedroom.

He placed one hand on his forehead and rubbed his temples to relieve the symptoms.

When the feeling of weightlessness in his mind eased a little, the image of a giant tree towering into the clouds and stretching as far as the eye could see emerged in Sean's consciousness.

Sean subconsciously moved his perspective closer. The giant tree towered into the clouds, filling the entire space of his consciousness.

As the consciousness moved closer to the past, the message of [sacrifice a handful of soil and a handful of water] emerged in the mind.

His consciousness was circling around somewhere else and no longer responded. It seemed that he had to complete this sacrifice first before unlocking the follow-up, Sean thought.

Back to reality, Sean, still in shock, picked up a pen and paper to analyze everything he had just encountered.

[Based on the dream scene, it should be an unknown great existence, resisting something in a certain space? ]

[There are still a few doubts. Why me?] Sean examined his own uniqueness. [Is it because of my identity as a time traveler? If so, is it related to the incident of my time travel?]

[Why in Stardew Valley, and not when I first crossed over? Is it because of the special time or place? Or is it necessary to be in a dream? ]

[How can my sacrifice help Him? There is no free lunch in this world. What is His plan? Or will I have to pay a price that I don't know?]

[What's the reward? What can I get in return with the current relaxed sacrifice requirements? ]

[Furthermore, will the sacrifice bring about revenge from the black shadow behind the spatial barrier?]

Sean tried to communicate with that existence in his mind, but there was no response. The only thing that emerged in his mind was the image of the towering tree and the information about the sacrifice.

[It can be inferred that He temporarily needs my help. His influence on the world is minimal. He is most likely trapped somewhere, otherwise I would not have performed the sacrifice.]

[As for the black shadow, if I find it. If I find it, with the power displayed by the black shadow in the dream, I will have no power to resist it. If I sacrifice myself now, maybe the sacred tree can help me resist for a while. ]

[I have already traveled through time and encountered supernatural phenomena. If that being wanted to harm me, it would have been gone long ago. What can I accomplish by being timid?]

[Damn it! Damn it!]

Sean wrote faster and harder, until the last few words left deep scratches on the paper.

After completing his mental preparation, Sean tore off the paper, walked to the kitchen, turned on the gas stove, and set it on fire to completely eliminate all traces.

Hardcore ruthless people are often those who are capable of taking action. Sean is such a person. Once he makes up his mind, he will take action immediately.

In less than a moment.

Sean looked at the pile of soil and a glass of water in front of him, took a deep breath, stretched out his hands, and emptied his mind.

In just a few seconds, the mud and water disappeared from the sight as if they were wiped away by an eraser. Sean could feel that these substances disappeared into this world through a certain channel.

At the same time, a warm current flowed into every end of the body from an unknown source, making me feel refreshed as if I had taken a sauna in the cold winter.

[Gain the ability to explore land and perceive water flow] A piece of information appeared in Sean's consciousness.

This seems to be the reward for the sacrifice, Sean thought. Before he could think about it, two more messages appeared.

[Sacrifice a new wild foraging crop (repeatable)]

[Sacrifice 100,000 G]

"One hundred thousand gold! I might as well sacrifice myself to you." Sean, who had less than thirty thousand gold in his hand, couldn't help but burst into tears.

Even though he was complaining in his heart, Sean's body still felt great and tried out the new abilities one by one.

The Land Exploration skill can detect the surface of a sphere with a radius of 10 meters centered on the player, as well as the situation inside the land. Similar to an X-ray, the outline of valuable items will appear in the retina, while indicating the specific location parameters.

Water flow perception can sense abnormal water flow fluctuations caused in a cylindrical water body with a radius of 10 meters and a depth of 10 meters centered on itself.

You can turn it on and off freely with your mind. The mental energy consumed by both is almost the same. It can be maintained for about 10 minutes when it is turned on alone. It takes 1 hour to restore the mental energy after it is exhausted.

"The ability to assist in exploration is okay, it can just help complete this foraging task. As for the task of sacrificing cash, I can only wait until I have money in the future because I am short of money. I just don't know if the sacred tree will not accept banknotes." Sean thought.

After finishing all this, Sean returned to the wooden house. At this time, the mailbox in front of the house was somehow opened.

"Strange, why would someone write to me at this time? Could it be from my mother? When did the post office become so efficient?" Sean walked over with doubt.

There were two letters lying quietly in the mailbox. Sean took them out and opened them one by one.

One of them was an advertisement for Joja Corporation, the same flyer that Shane sent out yesterday.

"Bad luck." Sean cursed inwardly, crumpled the whole piece of paper into a ball, and threw it high with one hand. The paper ball drew a perfect parabola in the air and hit the recycling bin ten meters away.

incredible!

Sean looked at his hands in shock, as if they were born with him. He felt that his control over his body had improved a lot, and his strength also increased a lot. Sean estimated that he should be at the level of a professional boxer.

These are all brought by offering sacrifices to the sacred tree!

"Keep a low profile! Keep a low profile! Think about the terrifying black shadow outside the barrier."

Sean took a deep breath, suppressed his joy and excitement, and checked the next letter. However, the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but turn up betrayed his mood at the moment.

The other letter was written in the name of Pelican Town, listing the addresses and phone numbers of places including the town office, Robin Carpenter, Clint Blacksmith, Pierre's Grocery Store, the Stardrop Restaurant, the Museum, etc.

Sean swept his eyes across it, focusing his gaze on Harvey's clinic.

"Should I go get a physical check-up?" Once this thought came to my mind, I couldn't let it go.

"I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'll go for a check-up on an empty stomach, and then go to the museum to check some information and talk to Pierre." Sean thought.
