Bone Harvest: From Weakest to Overlord

Chapter 13: Chapter 12: Skeletons in the Wheat Field



At this moment, Alex Stone, back in the real world, wearily woke up. He shook his somewhat swollen head, feeling a bit uncomfortable from his first such extended period of consciousness departure.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, Alex recalled everything that had happened in Star Origin, contrasting it with the cold buildings before him and the disaster-ridden reality outside.

The atmosphere there, filled with ease and hope for everyone, gave him the feeling of having had a dream.

Moreover, the surprises Star Origin World had given him were truly too great, making his return to reality feel somewhat unreal.

Alex focused his mind and checked the black card still placed on his forehead:

Seeing that his professional skill was indeed the same as in Star Origin World, Alex's heart, which had been oppressed by the surrounding environment, immediately calmed down.

Gazing at this information for a long time, Alex knew that he was truly different now.

The feeling of frustration he had when he first awakened as a farmer now seemed like a small interlude in his life, and he liked this feeling of relief very much.

It was already early morning. Tired and hungry, Alex walked out of his room and quietly made his way to the kitchen, afraid of disturbing his sister's rest.

After preparing breakfast for both of them, Alex quickly finished his share and kept his sister's portion warm before returning to his bedroom and falling into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, within the Star Origin space, the maintenance work on the fields did not show the slightest sign of stopping due to Alex's departure.

The Little Skeleton was still tirelessly busy with the work Alex had assigned, following Star Origin's prompts to maintain the wheat.

Every time the Little Skeleton spent a long time completing a prompt, Star Origin would immediately pop up another one, giving the Little Skeleton no time to rest.

This was precisely because the Little Skeleton had no stamina limit and would faithfully execute Alex's orders. Otherwise, summoning any other creature would have resulted in exhaustion.

At this point, the wheat in that mu of farmland was already growing taller and taller. The Little Skeleton working within it was almost completely hidden from view at a glance.

The success of the Little Skeleton's work was also very significant. The wheat grew stronger and stronger, unlike other people's farmland, which had become overgrown with weeds, infested with insects, and suffering from drought due to the farmers returning to reality and the farmland being left unattended.

It was foreseeable that when the wheat reached maturity, others would be lucky to harvest four or five hundred jin from the same mu of land, while Alex's small mu of land would yield at least twice as much.

Of course, Alex was unaware of the changes taking place in his planting space. At this moment, he was immersed in a beautiful dream, with a faint smile occasionally appearing on his face.

In his dream, he had become a powerful being whose words were law, like the administrator of Base 6, flying through the air and annihilating tens of thousands of disasters with a single finger.

He had even resurrected his deceased parents, and his family was leisurely strolling along a bustling street.

However, such a beautiful dream was shattered by a huge, unknown disaster with a single palm strike.

Alex suddenly sat up, with fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead due to the fright, and he gasped for breath.

Recalling the disaster in his dream that shattered his fantasy, Alex's palms clenched involuntarily.

Only when his emotions gradually returned to peace did his body relax slightly. He thought that he had only awakened as a farmer yesterday, and although the professional skill was very powerful, its power would only become more apparent in the later stages.

At this stage, he still needed to hide himself little by little and slowly accumulate strength.

Alex warned himself: Although the days are long, there will eventually come a day when his farmer profession can go beyond the realm and make the disasters tremble with fear!

Taking a deep breath, Alex looked at the time, and it was almost noon.

His sister eats lunch at school and doesn't come back, so there's no need to make her portion.

Since he was eating alone, Alex made some food casually, just enough to eliminate the hunger in his body, but he didn't dare to eat a lot.

After all, he was now an awakened person. According to the base's regulations, once a professional appeared in a family, they automatically lost the qualification to receive free supplies.

The base's resources are also limited, and they cannot allow them to receive them without restriction.

And now, Alex's family's food reserves are not too much anymore. He should save as much as possible and give priority to his sister.

Once the wheat in his Star Origin space matures and he sells it for money, he can buy it again or extract it directly from the Star Origin World.

The value paid for these two ways of obtaining supplies is basically the same. It may be slightly lower in reality, but the difference is not significant.

Taking one kilogram of wheat as an example, selling it to the Star Origin Mall costs 2 copper coins, while extracting it from Star Origin to reality costs 20 copper coins, a ratio of 1:10.

Buying one kilogram of wheat in reality costs 19 copper coins, which is slightly cheaper.

Now Alex only has 8 copper coins on him, not even enough to buy one kilogram of wheat, so it's better to be thrifty.

After eating, seeing the reminder on the Star Origin card that he could enter the Star World again in five hours, Alex did not waste this time and began to train in the physical techniques taught at the school.

Before, when Alex was training at school, he felt that no matter how he practiced, it was difficult to make progress. Later, the teacher told them that this was because they had reached the bottleneck period before awakening.

As long as they completed the awakening, they could accumulate knowledge and experience and quickly improve their various attributes.

And at this time, Alex also clearly felt that his body seemed to be really like what the teacher said. Through these physical techniques, the awakened body was like opening a gate, frantically releasing the suppressed emotions.
