Kent smiled, putting on his best big-brother charm. "Nimaaa~"
She immediately held her plate closer to her chest. "No. You’re not getting my food."
Kent shook his head. "I don’t want your food… this time. I have a business idea."
Nima raised an eyebrow. "A business?"
Kent sat down beside her and pulled out a handful of spiritual seeds he had obtained from the ruins.
"We have all these rare vegetable and herb seeds, as I told you I want to sell them when they grow. So, why don’t we just buy the land behind our house and start growing them here?" You help me with that right?
Nima blinked. "...You want me to be a farmer?"
Kent sighed. "Not you. We’ll have your soul servants take care of the farm. Later, we can open a shop and make a ton of money selling spiritual vegetables and medicine."
Nima narrowed her eyes. "That sounds like a lot of work."
Kent grinned. "Not for us. The servants will do everything. You’ll just have to sit back and enjoy the profits." Once you level up you can get more soul servants. You only need a tiny bit of spiritual energy to control them.
Nima was still unconvinced. "I don’t know… farming sounds boring." I want to be a CEO, and a big boss, not a farmer.
Kent expected this. So, he pulled out his ultimate weapon. He leaned in and whispered, "If you agree… I’ll buy you unlimited snacks for a month."
Nima’s chopsticks froze mid-air.
Kent saw her resolve crumbling.
"A-A month?" she stammered.
"That’s right," Kent said, smiling evilly. "Meat buns, dumplings, spicy noodles… mango juice." Whatever you want, as much as you can eat for an entire month.
Nima gripped her plate tightly. "Two months," she countered.
Kent pretended to hesitate, It’s a bad deal for me. But you are my one and only little sister. I can take some loss for you. "Hmm… alright you got a Deal."
Nima fist-pumped the air. "YES!"
Hook, line, and sinker.
With the great snack deal sealed, Nima was now completely on board with the plan.
They would buy the land behind their house. Nima’s servants (including her previously ugly now cute bear Lumo) would manage the farm.
In the future, they’d open a shop and sell their spiritual crops. Nima would be paid exclusively in snacks.
"One last thing," Nima said, finishing the last dumpling. "If I’m the boss of the farm, I get to name it."
Kent shrugged. "Fine. What do you want to name it?" She grinned mischievously. "Snack Land."
Kent facepalmed. "...We’ll work on that." For now, you have to teach Auri how everything works here. He is like an old fossil who emerged in this world after thousands of years.
Also, you can teach Lumo too. You know the soul language, so you will be able to understand everything.
Nima says you don’t have to worry about that. I already have plans to teach my underlings. I will start by showing them TV. I learn most of the things from TV. So I know how to teach them. You go and prepare my snack money and buy the snack land.
Alright… alright. Now go to bed. It’s almost midnight. I have to attend a school meeting tomorrow. I will leave early in the morning.
The next morning, Kent woke up early, stretching and yawning. He had no interest in school meetings, but today was different. It’s a really important meeting for his future. Kent gets ready for school.
One hour later, Walking through the academy halls, he could feel the stares. Other students who entered Graveyard Mountain Ruin were called too. All special class students must attend today’s meeting. Miss Elena said on the group chat that this meeting would forge their future.
Many students were talking about Kent when he entered the school grounds.
Student one: "Is that Kent?"
Student two: "I heard he killed many monsters."
Student three: "Didn’t he enter the Ruin core area with Nexus and Watcher? Student four: That can’t be real."
+999, +999, +999, +999, +999 SP copied from xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx, ( jealous, Envy, admiration, ….. ….. )
Kent ignored them, but he was happy for the SP, Kent was heading straight for the classroom Inside, Nexus Jade Monroe sat behind a desk, and other students also entered.
Miss Elena ordered everything to "Sit." Then she says we decided to give some of the students a trainee position in WATCHER. You can refuse your position or choose to take it.
Kent slumped into the chair. "So, this is the topic of today’s meeting?"
She folded her arms. "Normally, students have to prove themselves. But everyone’s contribution inside the Ruin… we can’t ignore it." You all will be given a trainee rank based on your contribution. You guys also receive a salary, there’s a condition. You must take a mission assigned by the government.
One by one everyone was called and given a trainee rank as a watcher. Finally, Kent’s turn is here. Jade Monroe says you have done a great job.
Kent asks what my rank is. How much is the salary?
Jade Monroe tapped the badge. "Tier-3 trainee Watcher." Right now everyone is a student so we will give a salary in spiritual stones. You will get three spiritual stones every month for your rank. This is your ID and batch.
Kent picks up the batch and ID. " When will I get my salary? Kent smirked. Another source of income. I am getting rich.
Jade Monroe says to everyone, that tier-1 trainee students will get one spiritual stone, tier-2 trainee two, and tier-3 trainee will get three spiritual stones as salary. Everyone’s salary will be given to them each month with the special class resources. In this class, there are a total of three tier-3 students. Kent, Ethan, and Mia.
Kent doesn’t listen to anything, he is busy thinking about how much he will get after selling all the spiritual stones.
Ethan says to Kent, "What are you thinking about? "Do you even understand the weight of a Tier-3 Watcher rank? You’re expected to take on real missions now." You might be sent overseas for a mission.
Kent shrugged. "Great. More opportunities for SP." I can travel for free. This is great.
Ethan narrowed his eyes. "You’re either fearless or an idiot." Overseas missions are very dangerous.
"Both," Kent replied.
Then Miss Elena gives everyone a registry document. "Sign this. It makes your promotion official." You can discuss it with your parents.
Kent signed without reading. "Cool. Can I go now?" I have a lot of things to do today.
"Dismissed." Miss Elena says.
As Kent walked out, she muttered under her breath. That kid is going to be a problem.
After school, Kent walked straight to meet an Old lady, the landowner behind his house. She was also the owner of their house.
Garvey was a grumpy middle-aged woman with a reputation for being tough in negotiations.
"I want to buy all the land behind my house," Kent said.
Garvey raised an eyebrow. " Are you sure kid? That will cost a lot. That land is over fifty acres.
Kent shrugged. "I have money." Don’t worry. How much is it?
Garvey stroked her chin. "Alright. 500,000 dollars." I will give you a discount because you are an orphan.
Kent smiled. "200,000."

Garvey chuckled. "Kid, that’s not how haggling works." 450 thousand dollars. That’s my final price.
Kent tilted his head. "100,000."
Garvey choked. "Wait—what?" 400 thousand is the last price. You can pay me in instalments.
Keny says, I have money, I will pay in full. I am a cultivator now. If you have any problems, come to me. I will give a discount too. He transferred the money, and just like that, the land was his.
The old lady, if I had known earlier, would have sold the land so cheaply. I am glad that your life changed. I hope you and your little sister live a happy life.
Kent replied, Of course we will. I am planning to farm on the land. I will give you some vegetables for free.
That evening, Kent and Nima stood in front of their newly bought land.
Right now, it was just full of grass and old trees. But soon, it would be a farm filled with spiritual crops.
Nima crossed her arms. "This is boring. It’s just dirt and grass."
Kent grinned. "For now."
Kent activated the Architect of Creation skill, his hand, and the land started to glow and change. He modified the soil, infusing it with spiritual energy.
The ground shimmered faintly as his skill worked its magic, enriching the land instantly.
Nima’s eyes widened. "Whoa."
She tossed the first seed into the ground, ordering Raka to do the rest. Auri and Lumo standing beside her.
Kent followed. The farming had begun.
After a moment, Nima came holding a name board in her hands.
Kent says, "What are you holding? Is it the farm name?
She grinned mischievously. " Yes, the Snack Land board."
Kent facepalmed. "Why can’t you come up with something else? There are other names besides food.
Nima ignored Kent; she ordered Raka, to go place the board. Then she says, Snack Land is officially open for business. Ha Ha Ha!!!
Tomorrow Kent will go back to his sword training with old man Xian Yu. He needs to find out how he can level up his sword intent.
