The Legendary Farmer's
Chapter 15 - Beyond the Conjecture
Over time, the lifestyle and way of thinking of all residents of Gedhetenan Land slowly adjust to the existing environmental conditions. Little by little they get used to various difficulties that are always a barrier to happiness. One by one their problems try to solve for a better life than the previous day.
All races try to live life as well as they can. Inevitably they have to accept the fact that a comfortable life in the previous world is now only a memory. There are no exceptions. No one gets the relief. Everyone should continue living on their own.
Until one day, when life reaches a certain point, their survival instinct acts. They begin to realize that what they are living cannot be compared to the life in their home world. For that reason and armed with memories of the past, all residents of Gedhetenan Land began to create all kinds of equipment that can ease life.
One by one the equipment was created. All creative. All tried to create an environment like the one they once lived in before being brought to Gedhetenan Land by utilizing equipment that had been painstakingly created. There is nothing wrong with this naive desire. There is also no prohibition for anyone to live life as they want. However, they must also realize that the place they live in cannot be compared to the world where they were born.
This world is completely different. Much worse and dangerous. No matter how hard they try, they will never be able to realize that noble desire. Although it can, it is only a few percent similarity that can be presented to the world of Gedhetenan Land.
In a fairly advanced civilization, precisely in a room in one of the buildings at the center of the civilization, a human figure who became one of the important figures of the human race was sitting leaning on his throne. The figure's gaze was sharp, focused on a two-by-four-meter-long screen attached to the wall, just across the room.
The screen that resembles glass is one of the tools of human creation. The object serves as an intermediary medium for white bracelets and implants in the brain. Both videos, images and various information on the white bracelet can be shared to the screen to be seen with others.
Not a second the view of the figure clad in blue armor turned from the screen that was showing a live broadcast that was the center of attention throughout the universe of Gedhetenan Land. Although it looked serious, the expression of the figure was filled with enthusiasm. A big smile on his lips. While his eyes sparkled with satisfaction.
"Chairman Adam, isn't he…"
"Yes. He was the one at that time." Adam quickly cut in before the black long-haired lady beside him finished his words. Witch-style clothing in a combination of white and blue wrapped the figure. A worn out book that was also white was perched in his hand.
"Are we going to recruit him?" ask the Woman quickly. Admiration emanated clearly from the glare of his eyes that were glued to the screen on the wall.
Adam shakes. His gaze was momentarily glued to a giant globe in one corner of the room. The three-meter-high and metal object rotated slowly on its axis. Several blue flags were lined up on either side of the miniature planet. The globe symbol adorns the center of each flag.
"No. Let him determine his own life. With such a thin brain there would definitely be many things he could do. Just send some people to watch over and protect him. For now that's all we can do."
There was a great hope that suddenly burst out from the pessimistic pile that had mounted in Adam's mind. One hope that might be able to realize a dream that had only been a wishful thinking in his brain. The hope that is also the desire of all residents of Gedhetenan Land, which is back to the land of birth.
...-----@@-----...
Flickering light as big as sand grains scattered out from the area of the explosion. They are floating between smoke and dust. Then it simultaneously flew towards Paijo, crashing and barging into the body as if a sucker was deliberately absorbing it. Paijo who witnessed the incident can only gape. Amazed and confused by what is happening to him.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The clang suddenly echoed for a moment after all the grains of light had expired unceasingly. His voice sounded loud and soft as he rubbed Paijo's eardrum. Then not long after a notice appeared in the eyes of the black-haired teenager.
[You get 3,146,129 experience points]
[You're going up to level 25]
[Because it does not have a placeholder of experience points, the remaining unused experience points will be wasted ]
Paijo only smiled when he found the notification that appeared in succession. He thinks what happened is quite unreasonable. But even though it feels like that Paijo can still accept it considering that everything impossible on earth can become a reality in this world. Including the level upgrades he had just experienced, which were actually only in the game.
"So those flickering lights were experience points?" Paijo commented lightly, trying to understand the situation. "Then what is an experience point holder? It seems like no one has ever discussed it."
A big question mark possessed Paijo's brain. As far as his memory is concerned, no one has ever talked about the placeholder of experience points, be it in the discussion forums available in white bracelets or in guidebooks. Paijo was quite surprised after realizing that there was no record of it in the guidebook.
For Paijo this is very strange considering the guidebook is a note that everyone makes. Various things about the world of Gedhetenan Land have been established in the book, of course, all based on life experience. Judging by this and the newly received notification Paijo can be concluded if so far no one has ever received a notification about the holder of experience points. In other words, the information is known only to Paijo.
Ting!
Another twang returned shortly afterwards. Another notice was immediately plastered on Paijo's eyes.
"Record?" chirps Paijo. "Is this like a record on earth? Pretty interesting. But it's better if no one knows my identity." he continued speaking for himself, responding to the notice.
After Paijo decided to hide his identity, a clanking voice was once again heard. Another announcement immediately appeared before Paijo's eyes.
[New record: A level one Zerenian managed to kill a monster four levels above him by three thousand five hundred sixty-three in one strike.]
[New record: A Level one Zerenian managed to kill the boss of a monster fourteen levels above him.]
"Three thousand five hundred more? That many? This is totally insane. Far beyond expectations." Paijo commented.
Paijo's initial plan missed predictions. Although in a positive direction, still killing fifty times the number of monsters predicted would be very surprising. Therefore, Paijo's decision to hide his identity was the best decision.
Paijo could not imagine what would happen next if the entire Gedhetenan Land knew of his identity. What is certain is that Paijo's life will be more complicated if it really happens. All will be looking for Paijo for their own personal interests. Worst of all, there's a chance Paijo's life could be threatened.
What just happened did not escape the name of coincidence and luck, as well as the freedom that Aman gave. After finishing the training menu session sending crates, Aman suddenly instructs Paijo to take a day off from his training routine. Aman also advises Paijo to try hunting monsters around the city and asks his student not to push himself. In addition, Paijo is also allowed to use all equipment on the farm.
Although it seems natural, actually Aman's orders are quite strange considering that all this time always echoes to practice without stopping. Paijo who understood his teacher certainly did not just swallow the order and instead concluded that what his teacher said was a special exercise that required him to act and make decisions appropriately.
Because of this wild thinking, Paijo's brain exploded alertness and fear simultaneously. With a level that is still in number one, of course, making Paijo can not act carelessly. Moreover, Paijo had not allocated a single base point to his status. Just a little bit of wrongdoing is tantamount to death.
Knowing how old and weak he was, Paijo tried to make some hunting alternatives. Starting from using arrows and doing hit and run, joining a party, to the worst by disturbing other Zerenian hunts and stealing Last Hit. But of all that nothing can guarantee Paijo's life a hundred percent intact. Everything is still very risky. Until one day, while inspecting the warehouse behind Aman's house, Paijo gets a brilliant idea that can keep his life safe.
In one corner of the warehouse filled with various kinds of agricultural equipment, Paijo found two large wooden crates. One of them contained a thirty centimeter long nail. While others are filled with tube-shaped objects, have a length of twenty centimeters and a diameter of no more than three centimeters. The tubes are made of metal and at one end there is a small red light and an on/off button. Between the tubes is a slightly smaller tube with a button at one end. The button is protected by a kind of transparent shell.
Dynamite. That's what Paijo found in one of the crates. An explosive that is said to be quite deadly on earth. But not in Gedhetenan Land. From its status, dynamite only produced small damage at a radius of one meter and was able to provide maximum thrust of three meters. Just by knowing this, anyone in Gedherenan Land will immediately consider the object is just useless trash. But not for Paijo. He said the explosives and nails he found could be a pretty deadly secret weapon.
After storing all the dynamite and spikes into the dimensional space, Paijo hurried away to the eastern part of Astrois City. There Paijo carefully observed the hunting area in the form of extensive grasslands. In addition, Paijo also searched for information about the Little Hell Pig monster that became the main monster east of Astrois City in the guidebook.
As a result, Paijo got the idea to trap the herd of monsters. With careful calculation all dynamite is planted in the ground with a distance of three meters. Each dynamite has been combined with a nail. A combination that is effective enough to increase the explosive power and more deadly damage effects. The result was that thousands of Little Hell Pig died in an instant.
"All right! It's best to collect all the drop items from that swine monster herd immediately."
After most of the dust and smoke from the blast was carried away by the wind, Paijo immediately came out of the hiding place. His eyes suddenly widened, while his face turned white with nausea suddenly churned in Paijo's stomach as his gaze was thrown into the former blast area that was the size of a football field.
It turned out that the resulting explosive effect of all the dynamite and nails planted was much worse than Paijo's shadow. What happened could be said to be a massacre. Almost half of the swine herd is no longer shaped. Their bodies were violently torn apart and dismembered. While the rest who still have a form, his entire body is stuck in nails. Including Boss Little Hell Pig.
"Hi! Are you all right?" Someone shouted from a distance.
Paijo who heard the worried question turned to the source of the voice. In the distance, a human armed with a large sword was running over. Dozens of people followed behind him. They were the party that had previously attracted Paijo's attention because of the very striking number.
"Yes. I'm fine." replied Paijo after keeping the trigger that had been hiding in his hand.
"Thankful then. So our numbers are not decreasing anymore."
"less again?"
The European-faced man nodded. His expression slightly turned sour. There was empathy in the corners of his eyes. "Humans in this city are left with no more than ten percent. We are the least number in this city. Not to mention the intimidation of other races that is always demeaning. It really disturbs our mental state. But after what you did it seems like their perception of us has changed a little."
Seeing a wide smile on the lips of the blonde figure made Paijo happy and horrified. Paijo was pleased that his efforts were able to change the bad image of the human race. But on the other hand Paijo also felt a serious threat. If what the blond-haired figure said was true, it meant that there would be another party envious of Paijo's achievements.
