[Ding]
[Healing Complete. Initiating discharge procedure from the spatial cocoon.]
A notification sounded in Alex's head. And with that came a 'plop' sound like a broken bubble.
A torrent of murky water was discharged out of the spatial cocoon, revealing the person's blurred figure inside it.
'The chick has finally hatched.'
"Farm AI, please move the person to the bed I have placed," Alex commanded. He didn't want to throw Chitra on the floor.
[Using 8FP to move the spatial cocoon.]
[Pet is being transferred to the bed.]
'Uh! Again, using FP.'
The farm gave out two notifications. And that was within the expectation of Alex. After all, he allowed the farm to use small amounts of FP without a confirmation message.
Confirming the use of FP every time was a hassle. So, he allowed the farm to use it in moderation. Up to a thousand FP could be used without confirmation.
Alex could make 100,000 FP daily after selling most crops and animal products. But, his consumption rate of FP was just as high. He had to spend FP to buy seeds for the outside farm, gene serums to modify the livestock, and even to create teleport points. This caused his high FP consumption rate.
This meant that he had only a small reserve of FP. About 400,000 FP or so. Although Alex was a little saddened that he had to spend some FP to move the cocoon, he was not bothered by it.
He believed that FP should be spent. A stagnant reserve of FP will not give him any advantage. It is better to invest in the farm and make more.
After accepting Alex's order, the farm transferred Chitra quickly to the bed.
'Did it think I would change my order if it didn't do it fast. Was the farm AI that desperate for FP.'
"Thuck." Like a roasted damp cloth, Chitra fell out of the cocoon onto the bed. The impact of her body into the cocoon made a rough 'thuck' sound.
Alex's gaze instinctively landed on her, his concern driving him to assess her well-being.
And her condition was glaringly apparent.
'Crap! She's... naked.' Alex's hand shot up to shield his eyes, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
'What happened to her clothes? Although they were torn from the battle, how can they just vanish?'
The farm's healing processes had apparently removed the shredded remnants of Chitra's attire during her healing. Consequently, as she was expelled from the protective space cocoon, her bare form was unveiled to the world.
Now bathed in the afterglow of her rejuvenation, Chitra was a vision of elegance. The once-etched scars and battle-inflicted wounds had all but evaporated, dissolved into nothing through the healing procedure.
Presented before him was a goddess, an embodiment of grace and allure. Her shape– refined; her skin–without a blemish.
'Bunnies.' An intrusive thought sparked in his mind. Alex's mind was tangled in wandering thoughts, his fingers forming unintended gaps through which his gaze inadvertently fell upon her form.
"No." Suddenly, taking control of his mind, Alex threw some bed sheets over her body. Finally, it was covered.
"Uh! Sigh!" Finally, Alex relaxed, his cheeks still flushed.
'For a moment, I thought I had lost it. Fortunately, my mind was strong.' He commented in his mind. He was actually proud of his accomplishment.
"AI, why is she not waking up. It has been a few seconds since she was discharged from the cocoon?"
[The healing procedure is complete, and it is a success. Please wait patiently.]
"Did something go wrong with her head?"
[The chances do exist. But the probability is extremely low. Tier 5 warriors have strong minds.]
"But her heart was broken when she realised that her sister died. Can she really pull through her pain and anguish?"
[User's worries are irrelevant.] The farm commented.
While Alex conversed with the farm AI, the eyelids of Chitra fluttered, and her body shivered. Her senses were awakening.
"AH!" Suddenly gasping for air, she sat up without thinking. Her mind wandered as images formed in her eyes. She was barely able to see the outside world. The lights were still strong for her eyes to see in.
It took a moment for her eyes to adapt to the outside world.
'Where is this place?' Chitra thought.
And that was when she noticed a person before her. He was wearing odd, worn-out clothes. And he was looking at her with his mouth wide open. The face of this unfamiliar man was flushed, and he was having difficulty making direct eye contact with her.
'A creep?'
Suddenly, a cold wind blew over her skin. Chitra looked down when she felt the wind. And her bare body came into her vision. She noticed that she was naked and was sitting up, revealing everything.
"AHhh!" A shrill scream escaped her lips. She grabbed hold of the sheets and quickly covered her body. Her face flushed in anger.
"Per-vert." A word escaped her lips. Her anger peaked at that moment, realising the man was looking oddly at her.
"Die."
A giant energy hand materialised behind as she threw it forward. The energy contained in it was deadly. And it was directed at poor Alex, the only other person on the farm.
Although some farm notifications sounded that moment, Alex had no time to review them.
"Oh! Crap!" Alex exclaimed when he saw the energy hand flying towards him.
However, the current Alex is different from the past. He trained hard in the past month to better control his mana. He had improved as a warrior and a mage. And he also enhanced his mana quantity, reaching almost 5000 cores.
He currently had mana equivalent to five tiers and 4 warriors. Although he could only control 1000 cores at a time, he was still strong enough to deflect the incoming attack.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Alex deflected the hand by releasing a hundred wind attribute spells to create a similar torrent of mana.
To just deflect that attack, Alex had to use about five hundred cores of mana. A tremendous amount when you consider that an average peak tier 4 warrior only had equivalent to 1000 cores of mana inside them.
"STOP! PLEASE! I AM NOT A PERVERT!" Meanwhile, Alex didn't forget to scream his words out to clear the misunderstanding.
"What are you? If not a pervert?" Chitra, however, didn't believe his words. She was still prepared to throw another attack at Alex.
"Don't you remember what happened?" Alex realised that it was a difficult situation to escape from. So, he asked to spark her submerged memories.
And this indeed had an effect. Chitra's eyes suddenly widened, and she went into a reverie. Her mind began to travel into the past, recollecting fragments of her memories.
With each second, emotions overwhelmed her. Tears brimmed up in her eyes when she finally remembered the past.
If an outsider was looking at this, it was a scene that could lead to many misunderstandings.
Alex, an eccentric man adorned in tattered garments, stood alongside a stunning, naked woman who tightly clutched her bedsheets. Her eyes appeared distant, immersed in contemplation, and teeming with emotions. Her countenance revealed many feelings, primarily tied to a sense of injustice and profound loss.
What did this man do to this woman?
That was the first question anyone would have had if they had seen them.
However, Alex was innocent this time. He didn't do anything. Chitra cried due to the pain that resurfaced with her memories. The psychological pain was immeasurable at that moment. And she had to relive that moment again in her mind.
"Do you remember it now?" Alex woke Chitra from her reverie with his words. He didn't want her to be stuck in the memories of her past.
"The white-robed man?" Chitra inquired while looking at Alex.
"Yes. This is the real me, without any disguise. And for your knowledge, I am absolutely not a pervert. You were the one who sat up. And my eyes accidentally moved on their own." Although Alex wanted to clear the misunderstanding, he almost made it worse.
Nonetheless, Chitra didn't turn violent this time. She realised her part in the mistake.
"Where is this place? Where are we?" She inquired.
"It is a little tricky to explain. Let's say this is my farm. A farm that can break common sense. I think you would know it better as a pocket space."
"Your farm? A pocket space?" Chitra looked around and inquired. "Why are we here?"
"You were in desperate need of medical attention. So, I brought you here to patch you up. And I think I was successful in doing so. Do you feel any pain or something?" Alex said while pointing at her.
"No, I feel comfortable."
"That a relief."
"But I can see an odd thing in the periphery of my vision. It looks like a symbol, an image perhaps?"
'A symbol? An image? Don't tell me…'
Chitra's sudden disclosure made Alex panic. Because he could also see something similar, and that was the farm icon that allowed him to enter the interdimensional farm.
