Level up.
Along with the sound of Kururung-, the fog somewhere was pushed back.
Now the size of the farm had become quite large, and it was impossible to estimate.
"Let's finish the work quickly and go explore."
"Meow~."
These days, Mongchi, who had been making a lot of gold with Kopi Luwak, came out, saying he would follow me.
"Are you following me too?"
"Meow."
"Okay. Let's make one more field and go."
My Stamina increased, so I was able to increase the number of fields.
If he didn't increase the number of fields as soon as possible, he wouldn't be able to handle the sunflower ingredients, so he worked diligently to cultivate and harvest the fields.
[Hae-jun-nim~!!]
Pote, who had not appeared for a long time.
He didn't show up very often these days unless there was something special.
As Hae-jun's level increased, his body also changed.
Was it round and smooth?
"Why did you call me?"
[I have something to drill you on.]
"What is it?"
[A level-up gift, I guess... Well, something like that.]
Pote handed me grape seeds.
"Grapes? I already have grapes."
Grapes are one of the most important crops on the Dimensional Farm. The seeds are ground to make grape seed oil, and they are also used to make ade and wine, and as a base to add flavor to various sauces.
[This is different. Take a closer look.]
At Pote's words, Hae-jun examined the seeds carefully.
<Green Grape Seeds>
"Green grapes."
[Yes!]
"It must be delicious."
If red grapes usually taste sweet and sour, green grapes are characterized by their strong aroma and sweetness.
'These days, Shine Muscat is popular, but what is this?'
I thought it would be nice if it was the Shine Muscat, a famous green grape variety known for being expensive and delicious, and I accepted the seeds.
Well, it doesn't matter if it's not. I'll just grow it deliciously and share it. It would be nice to add some to the salad, or ask Min-ju to make a new green grape ade.
"Thank you."
[You're welcome. In fact, there is another real reason I came to find you, Hae-jun.]
"A reason?"
[This!]
Pote flicked his finger.
Then the familiar golden aura enveloped Hae-jun's body.
That meant Pote had given Hae-jun a new ability.
[Take a look around the crops.]
He said with a meaningful smile.
Hae-jun looked around the crops as Pote instructed him to do and was surprised to see the changes that had taken place.
"Wow, amazing!"
[Isn't it great]
<Cabbage - C-Rank>
<Wheat - D-Rank>
<Cherry Tomato - C-Rank>
<Carrot - D-Rank>
···.
The crops produced on the farm now had ranks.
Not only that, but the chickens, goats, and black pigs also had ranks, and so did the eggs and goat's milk produced by the livestock.
<Egg - C-Rank>
<Goat's Milk - C-Rank>
Even more surprising was,
"How come such delicious things are only C or D-Rank?!"
[Yes, that's right. Isn't it amazing?]
"Then there must be A-Rank too?"
[Of course. Ranks exist from F to A, and very rarely, you can produce S-Rank crops.]
"S-Rank?"
He said that the higher the level, the better the rank of ingredients that could be produced. He also didn't forget to mention that higher-ranked ingredients naturally tasted better.
It was surprising that the ingredients that people in the real world praised so much for their deliciousness were only C-Rank.
[So please work harder in the future! For more delicious ingredients.]
After finishing his words, Pote flew back up into the sky and flew around the farm.

It was the weekend, and Hae-jun entered the Dimensional Farm.
He hadn't been able to visit the areas that had recently opened up as he leveled up, so today's goal was exploration.
Hae-jun stopped by the village general store and returned to the farm with some rope, a knife, and a few other exploration tools. There was no modern equipment, but it was enough for exploration.
"Let's go, Mongchi."
"Meow."
He put on his backpack and started walking.
As the size of the farm grew, it became impossible to see the whole thing at a glance. So he decided to make a map. He walked around the newly unveiled areas, identifying the terrain and drawing it on the map.
It was hard work, but it was also fun in its own way.
It felt like he was on a camping trip in the wilderness.
Exploring here had a different kind of charm than taking a walk in the real world.
How long had he been walking?
The familiar path ended, and he entered an unfamiliar place.
It was a slightly humid area with towering trees.
I drew the terrain on the map and stepped into the forest.
“Meow!”
“Why? Oh? It’s a mushroom!”
<Wild Pine Mushroom - C-Rank>
I found a mushroom with its cap wide open under a pine tree.
I almost stepped on it and passed by, but thanks to Mongchi’s signal, I was able to find it.
Hae-jun, who enjoyed watching documentaries, had once seen a program called ‘Extreme Job’ that showed the daily lives of workers who collected pine mushrooms in the mountains in the fall. The people who carefully collected pine mushrooms while walking cautiously in case they stepped on them.
As I recall, the first-grade wild pine mushroom had a cap that was not open and looked like a man's genitals, and the mushroom I found now, with a flat cap, was said to be 3rd or 4th grade.
‘Is the method of dividing the ranks similar?’
Hae-jun took out a trowel from his backpack and carefully collected the mushroom and put it in his bag.
I suddenly felt hungry, so he shared the pork cutlet sandwich I had brought as lunch with Mongchi.
Hae-jun, who had taken a short break, wrote the word ‘mushroom’ on the map and moved on.
After walking for about 10 minutes, the forest ended.
The sound of water flowing from near the carbonated spring became louder.
“Meow~.”
“You think so too? It seems to be coming from over there?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go.”
I found a river.
And I could see the ocean connected to the river.
Judging from the fact that there were no signs of a port or other civilization, it seemed like Hae-jun’s property, a dimensional farm, that was not connected to the village or any other village.
“There’s such a place.”
Of course.
It would be strange if there were no rivers or oceans since there were mountains, fields, springs, and even a dug-out farm. If the fog cleared up more, I might see something even more surprising.
Hae-jun put down his backpack and looked around the coast.
I thought that if all the fog cleared, it would be a vast beach.
‘It’s narrow now, but···.’
The only parts where the fog had not cleared yet were a section of the downstream part of the river and a small coastline.
Mongchi, who had been looking around, ran towards the ocean.
“Mongchi, where are you going?”
“Meow.”
The guy was excited and ran around the ocean and the sandy beach.
Hae-jun, who had been looking around, climbed up the rock at the boundary of the fog.
“Is this far enough?”
I rummaged through his backpack and took out a net trap that he had prepared just in case.
I guessed that there must be a river or sea nearby because of the sound of water a while ago, and I was right.
Cha Hae-jun put bait that sea creatures would like inside a net trap, just like Yoo Tae-jin did on the TV show 'Three Meals a Day', and threw the trap. He picked up a large rock nearby and secured it so that it wouldn't be swept away by the water.
Now all he had to do was wait.
Whether it was a flounder or an octopus, if there was anything in the water, it would get caught.
"Meow! Meow meow!!"
I turned his head at the sound Mongchi was making, and saw that the guy was dancing excitedly between the ocean and the land... No, on closer inspection, he was engaged in a fierce battle with something unknown.
