BXBX NOVEL Chapter 57 Unplanned
After closing the business deal, Alex started planning. And his plan heavily depended on his ability to sell the golden mushroom he has on him to the farm shop.
As expected, he was able to sell one golden mushroom for 100000FP in the farm shop.
\'Thank god the initial sales price was high. I don\'t think I can sell the next one at the same price. It would probably be less. But this is enough for now.\'
He still had six more to sell, not considering the seven that belonged to Kalina. He once again becomes friggin rich.
He was hoping to use them in an emergency and this was an emergency. Fortunately, he didn\'t sell it for gold. He was sensible to know that FP was better than gold.
\'I should prepare the next phase of the plan.\'
Alex began to buy all the farmland he could with his newly acquired wealth.
[100 units of land bought]

[Farm automation is available.]
[Land acquisition, temporarily closed. Farm level-up conditions are being updated.]
Ding…Ding…Ding…
The sounds of sweet notifications were music to Alex\'s ears. He always wanted to level up like crazy and today he did it.
\'A day like this truly makes me happy.\'
This was a new milestone in his life. The future that felt bleak became so much better.
\'As expected, I unlocked another building on the farm. Barn, chicken coop, fish pond, pet taming, research pod and the ability to automate farming. This is so awesome, I don\'t even care about the fact that level-up is temporarily unavailable. Even the fact that I spend 60,000 FP didn\'t even matter anymore.\' Jumping around on the farm Alex thought. He was excited, to say the least.
Looking around and seeing the changes to the farm, he was thrilled to try everything.
"Shop." He called out and a 2D window opened up before him. The option that used to be greyed out became accessible now.
Other than seeds, Now he could buy basic fertiliser, pet foods, animal feed and other miscellaneous items.
And below it, he could see a row of farm animals that could be bought. Among them, there were goats, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits and even fish. It was an awesome list that made Alex wish that he should have levelled up the farm earlier.
But the shop functions didn\'t end there. A new row of automation tools was clearly depicted below the list of farm animals.
From harvester to grinder and mixer. Everything one needs on a farm was present inside the farm tools section.
Alex didn\'t wait one bit before buying an automatic watering machine, automatic seed sowing machine and harvester for 1000FP each. Now he had 38000FP left from the initial 100,000FP he got from selling the golden mushroom.
With that, Alex bought all the machines and tools that he thought he might need in the future. Leaving behind only 20,000FP for his other use.
\'Now that\'s complete, let\'s seed the remaining farmland with paddy.\' Giving out an order to the automatic seed sowing machine. Alex stood back.
The machine that looked like a tiller began moving across the field filling the newly bought 600 units of land with paddy seeds. With enough water, the seeds will quickly grow.
After that, the automatic water machine sped around watering all the plants before coming out of the farmland. It was a sight to behold to see multiple machines working in tandem without any human intervention to maintain the farm.
After that, Alex directed his attention to the fish pond. It was a considerably large square fish pond with a 10x10 unit area. Currently, it was empty and a floating icon of zero was present above the pond.
\'I need to get some fish and put them inside. Shop.\'
After carefully looking through the 2d scene of the shop. Alex finally saw a fish that he could buy and place inside the pond.
It was common carp. A completely normal-looking freshwater fish that he had seen in his previous life. But Alex didn\'t care about any of that. After all, if he has the facility inside the farm, he could put any fish he wants inside it. The same goes for the barn and coop.
Yet, he bought some carp fries and let them loose in the pond. The pond could sustain a hundred carps. So, he only bought ten for now.
\'If they grow up, they might breed more carp. Why spend more unnecessarily?\'
Similarly, he populated the barn and coop with a pair of each animal, male and female, he could buy from the shop.
Now, by letting them grow up on the farm. He could breed a limitless amount of animals.
"Ha ha ha…" Laughing wickedly. Alex exited the farm. The preparation was complete. Now, all he had to do was fulfil the promise he made with the elder of the thousand-headed serpent tribe.
"Later, I will deploy the teleport point in the plot of land that I am going to buy. After that, I could spend 5000FP to travel between my northern region and Thira. By using the warehouse, I can store all the grains I need and transport them back to Thira. It\'s so easy to make wealth with a cheat ability like this."
"KA KA KA KA….." Alex laughed.
"Thud" Someone slammed against the wall of the room he was staying in.
"Go and friggin sleep you sicko. Other people are also staying inside this inn. If you want to laugh like an old witch, do it somewhere else. God damn it."
\'Oooops…\' Realising his blunder, Alex went back to his bed to sleep.
—-----------
"Thuck…" The heavy sound of something colliding.
"Drip….drip…drip…" Blood drops dripped one by one to the floor.
"It seems like the drug was too strong. He doesn\'t even wake up even when he is bleeding." A voice greeted Alex as soon as he woke. In front of him, there was a blurry figure saying something.
Then a sharp pain from all across his body.
"Ah…." He screamed. The blurry figure that had come close to him was pulling on his hair.
The intense pain momentarily forced Alex to react wildly. He tried to push his arms out and escape from the clutches of the person before him. But he soon came to the startling realisation that he was bounded by something strong. And his body felt weak as if he didn\'t have any strength at all.
Taking a moment to grasp his situation. Alex looked at the person before him.
He was wearing a familiar black robe. Beside him, there was the first elder of the ice phoenix tribe.
"Look who is awake. Man, you know how to sleep. I tried everything I can. Even smacked your head against a wall. And still failed to wake you up. If I knew I could wake you up by pulling on your hair, I would have done it earlier." The black-robed man said in a joking tone.
Even though his words were said in a joking manner. His actions were ruthless. He didn\'t stop pulling on Alex\'s hair after saying thablack-robedck robed man knew that Alex was in deep sleep due to the drug he administered. It doesn\'t matter if he shook him or hit him. He wouldn\'t wake up until the effects of the drug disappears. He just wanted to torture Alex to amuse himself.
"Now that you are…" Ignoring the words of the black-robed man, Alex tried to teleport. He didn\'t think much and knew he was in some deep trouble.
He wanted to escape as fast as he could. So, he tried to teleport.
But nothing happened. Alex couldn\'t feel his energy at all.
After that, he tried to enter the farm. But even that failed. This shocked Alex to the core. After coming to this world, It was the first time Alex felt so vulnerable. His ability to enter the farm made him invincible. If he couldn\'t win a fight, he could always enter the farm to escape.
But this time, even that seems to be impossible.
Where is he? What was happening to him? How was he captured? The torrent of thoughts overloaded his brain.
It took him a moment to calm down and look around. He was not alone. Other people are imprisoned alongside him.
"...so, my explanation is clear, right?" The black-robed man finally quietened down after posing a question to Alex.
