Chapter 282 The tutorial is too hell (4)

What Choi Tae-woong needed most urgently right now was neither a tractor, a combine, nor a riding rice transplanter.

It is the expansion of farmland.

What good is having equipment that can do the job so quickly when the farmland is so small?

Even if it’s 10,000 square meters, it’s only 100 meters long and wide. It cost close to 500 million HA to buy this much land.

“Don’t even dream of buying high-end equipment like tractors and combines until you reach 9 million square meters.”

It was Freedom’s advice.

Rather than spending money on equipment worth hundreds of millions of won, it would be better to increase farmland by just a little bit.

“Until then, it’s better to just hire workers or rent farm machinery.”

“The farmland is too small to operate such expensive farm machinery on one’s own.”

“Yeah. What kind of tractor combine is this to a farmer like me? It would be right to start by increasing the farmland. But isn’t 50,000 HA per square meter too expensive for human reasons?”

The farmland needed will increase from 9 million square meters to 8.99 million square meters in the future.

The amount of money needed is 449.5 billion HA.

But the amount of money I have now is less than 100 million HA.

You can easily estimate the currency value by thinking of 1HA in Palm Bus as 1 Korean Won.

“50,000 HA per square meter is a cheap price. If you look at the price of farmland in Korea, you’ll probably faint. It’s been a while since it broke 100,000 won per square meter.”

“okay?”

“The Palm Bus reflects realistic figures to a large extent across all sectors.”

Choi Tae-woong looked into the farming situations of gamers in other regions.

Everyone was fighting hard every day, coughing up blood to develop the farmland.

-I finally finished terraforming the planet into an environment where plants can grow, but then the damn gate opened and monsters poured out again and everything got polluted overnight. ㅠㅠ

-I have to start the decontamination process again from the beginningㅠㅠ Oh myㅠㅠ This doesn’t feel like someone else’s business… … .

-So, wouldn’t it be better to pursue indoor farming like me from the beginning?

A gamer who successfully built a space farm station proudly posted a video of himself playing the game.

– It cost over 15 trillion HA to build this station. Thanks to that, I’m now broke. Hehe;;; But I’m very proud.

-Wow, why didn’t I think of this? I’m going into station farming right now.

-Haha, this station can produce over 100 million tons of rice every 3 months. It’s all done now. Why are you guys terraforming so hard?

A user who created a giant indoor farming station in space has received much praise.

however…….

“This isn’t organic rice. I’m not buying it.”

An NPC who was supposed to buy rice during the stream coldly refused, and hundreds of thousands of live viewers were shocked.

The expression on the user’s face, who had brought 100 million tons of rice with a puffed-up heart, became distorted.

“You don’t buy it because it’s not organic? Is that the only reason?”

The advantage of Palmbus is that it allows for vivid real-time conversations with NPCs.

So, rather than just playing a game, you can enjoy a realistic playing experience that feels like you’ve actually been transported to another world through your PC.

“We don’t handle anything that’s not organic. This is grown in empty space under LED lights.”

“What’s the difference between organic and greenhouse crops? The ingredients are actually the same!”

“If it is not a grain that has taken root in the energy of the rich earth and grown with leaves that are filled with the splendid light of the sun, it is considered unclean. Take it.”

“You’re saying you’re cheating? What do you mean?”

-Oh, is there something coming up?

-NPC’s expression is serious right now. Everyone, pay attention!

-ㅋㅋㅋ The streamer’s expression looks like the sky is falling. Is that natural since he blew 15 trillion?

“We hold sacred the natural things that grow in nature. We do not eat grains that grow in the cold middle of space, locked in hard metal. Take them.”

-Fuck, lol, you’re just sitting there talking nonsense.

-NPCs are so picky when it comes to their taste ㄷㄷㄷ

-So, you’re saying that greenhouse cultivation is not allowed and that agricultural machinery cannot be used? Is that what you’re saying?

-That doesn’t seem to be the case. From what I’ve heard, it seems like they don’t buy grains that aren’t grown in an environment and conditions similar to those on Earth, considering them unclean.

-What can I do about the streamer? It seems like he spent all his money to build a space farm station. Tsk tsk

-I don’t think this will matter on a fantasy planet. If you just get the seeds right, there will be fields everywhere.

But the fantasy world was going through its own set of hardships.

-Hello, guys. Do you see the Demon King’s castle over there? After obtaining information that there is a seed that is the origin of rice, we fought hard and finally arrived here. If we defeat the Demon King and take over that castle, we can finally secure the origin of rice.

-You really worked hard leading a legion of 1 million warriors all the way here. This is your support.

-Oh my, brother. Thank you for your donation. I will use it well.

It’s been a really tough day. I really want to clear the Demon King’s Castle within 5 turns and get my hands on the Origin of Rice!

Let’s gooooooo!

The warrior player who led an army of 1 million finally launched an all-out attack on the Demon King’s Castle.

However, after playing for over 10 hours in real time, the user eventually lost.

-Ugh. I’m upset. But next time, for sure!

Shhh! Don’t say things like that! It’ll cause a losing streak!

Wow, that’s a real shame. It almost seemed like we could have won.

Since it was revealed that only crops properly farmed in an environment similar to Earth would be purchased, users worked hard to create a ‘normal farming environment’.

-We managed to get a photosynthetic star, but the planet’s surface temperature is too high for farming. It doesn’t seem to drop below 300 degrees. What should we do? Should we move the distance further away?

ㄴIsn’t the current orbit just optimized? If we increase the orbital radius to lower the temperature, it could completely fall off due to gravity.

ㄴI think so too. It would be better to keep the current orbit and focus more on terraforming the agricultural planet. Try creating an atmosphere to reflect some sunlight.

By the way, isn’t there too little water? Still, if there was an ocean, there would be regular, steady rain and such.

There is too little water. If it rains badly, a lot of acidic substances will mix in and all the crops will die.

Do you know how meticulously NPCs check the mountain conditions? If they feel even a little uneasy, they ask you to take a video of the farm conditions and send it to them. If NPCs saw the current state of this planet, they would probably be terrified and demand a refund.

It would be nice if CTW2022 could share some more information.

What would it be like to farm comfortably under the sun in the Goldilocks Zone?

But it seems boring because it’s too similar to Earth. It seems like CTW2022 has nothing to do, so they just farm all day and sometimes go car camping.

Yeah, it feels like civilization was just transplanted to the 21st century Earth.

ㅋㅋㅋ You idiots, up until now CTW2022 has made at least hundreds of millions by selling fish items. He is a successful rice-eating emperor.

How can a game not be fun when you can make hundreds of millions of dollars by selling items? This game is really boring. It’s probably going to be like this.

***

Choi Tae-woong steadily increased his farmland with HA, which he earned by selling agricultural products, and earned cash by purchasing and selling food items from Prime Farm with his farm figures.

The fish items that were put up for auction were left as is and not retrieved.

This is because the farm value required to purchase a single fish item is in the thousands.

It seemed like the price was set considering that one fish costs several thousand won in Korea.

“Instead, I think we should raise the price a bit.”

After much thought, Choi Tae-woong decided to change the price of the fish items he had listed on the player auction house to 1 trillion HA each.

“This is a gift for the user who will one day break through the harsh universe and reach the Muren Galaxy.”

Once the player has explored the universe and reached the Muren Galaxy, he will be able to see the fish items he has listed in the auction house.

1 trillion HA would be a lot of money for that user, but wouldn’t it be an amount they’d be willing to pay because of inflation?

In addition, fish items can be exchanged for actual dollar currency, which is beneficial for users as well.

“Freedom, what if the users who came all this way suddenly invade the planet and confiscate everything? Can we really just sit back and do nothing and trust in Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto?”

“Don’t worry. They may look like planets from our solar system, but they are actually guardians of the planet Muren, protecting it from invaders from outer space.”

Freedom explained confidently.

“When a space fleet enters, Pluto will first intercept it and check if it has any intention of invading or if it has come for negotiations.”

It was said that most powers would end at the Pluto Cut.

“If you do not comply with Pluto’s disarmament, you will not be able to enter Pluto’s orbit. Of course, you can still use the auction house outside of Pluto’s orbit, so you will have to be satisfied with purchasing fish items.”

“What if Pluto gets pierced?”

“Neptune’s hydrogen plasma cannons, created by nuclear fusion reactions, will wipe out the fleet. Uranus will join in immediately, and Saturn will fire its rings to provide rear-end fire.”

“It’s scary just hearing it.”

“Even if all the users in the world join forces now, they won’t be able to penetrate even Pluto. If they spend a long time raising tech and strengthening their power, they might be able to penetrate Saturn in the distant future. However, Jupiter, the strongest shield, remains.”

“Jupiter is stronger than Saturn and the Sun combined?”

“Its attack power is weaker than the other four, but its defense power is the best. The gas emitted by Jupiter will completely cover the area, blinding the eyes and ears of the invaders and preventing them from detecting the planet Muren.”

“Oh.”

“Comet Helios will immediately come to support, and the moon will turn into a close-range shield to directly block the attacks coming towards Earth, no, Muren. Meanwhile, the sun will break its seal and rise, ready to engulf the invaders, and will open cracks inside the invaders’ ships and spray hot plasma cannons, melting everything from the inside out.”

“It’s a perfect defense.”

“Even if the top 100 million players spend more than 5 years in real time increasing their tech and combat power, it won’t be easy to break through Pluto alone. We are fully prepared to protect Muren.”

“But even though he’s so strong, he doesn’t help us explore outer space at all?”

“The purpose of the guardian planets is to protect Muren, not to care for the welfare of each and every insignificant, dust-like life form living on the surface of Muren.”

“Anyway, if you come this far into the solar system, you can trade with me at the auction house even if you can’t get through Pluto, right?”

“you’re right.”

Choi Tae-woong was now aware of the fact that his position as a player was that of a very realistic small farmer.

What is the probability that an ordinary farmer in Korea will accumulate a fortune in the tens of billions of won? It is simply zero.

Realistically, it would be difficult to accumulate more than 10 billion won in assets.

Of course, he also collected 1 billion HA (=won) and opened Prime Farm.

But it took a whopping 20 years of game time to get there.

Above all, we have benefited greatly from the government’s high-price purchasing policy to protect small-scale farmers.

In the midst of the government’s policy of giving out money to protect rural areas, 1 billion HA (= won) was accumulated through consistent saving for 20 years.

If not, the opening of Prime Farm would have been impossible.

“But I just thought of something after hearing you say that. Is Myuran by any chance a hidden boss in the Palmer’s world or something like that?”

“You have asked a question that you are not authorized to ask.”

“Why are you beating around the bush when you’re right? But then, am I just a baby ant that built a nest in the hidden boss’s nest or something?”

Choi Tae-woong muttered quietly.

“Better a flea parasitizing on a dragon’s beard than an earthworm’s head.”
