Chapter 3942: Oh! IV
Noah read prompt after prompt, and they did not even seem close to being done as more came even before one fully enjoyed the grandeur of the prompt before it!
|Replantation Process: Seeds may be planted immediately following harvest in prepared plots enhanced with Early Creature blood. Germination rate in Shore conditions: 98%. Time to maturity: 1 hour under current enhancement levels.|
|Plot Expansion: Additional cultivation areas may be established at any time through sacrifice of Early Creature blood. Recommended ratio: 18 drops per standard cultivation plot. Maximum sustainable plots limited only by available Shore territory.|
|Sacred Storage: Harvested crops may be stored within Sacred Totems, which will further enhance their weavings of existence for as long as they remain in containment. Enhancement rate: 5% potency increase per day of storage, maximum enhancement: 500%.|
|Quality Grading: Harvested materials will be automatically categorized into Standard, Superior, and Pristine grades based on Shore influence during growth. Higher grades provide exponentially greater benefits when consumed.|
|Processing Options: Raw consumption provides immediate but temporary benefits. Processed materials may be refined through Sacred Totem exposure, Early Creature alteration through cooking, or combination with other Early Sacred materials for permanent enhancement effects.|
|Manual Harvesting Required: Manual harvesting can be done by an Early Creature, an Early Living Land Lifeform, or Arch Living Existence to maintain optimal potency. Automated harvesting is possible through thr sacrifice of one drop of Blood, but it reduces effectiveness by 75%.|
...!
Oh!
Noah smiled at the comprehensive information provided by the Shore’s systems, each prompt revealing new layers of complexity to what had initially seemed like simple agricultural work.
He rose from his seated position and reached out to stroke the lustrous coat of the arrogant Heidrun, her fur carrying warmth that seemed to be burning brighter as she looked at thr vibrant green gold grasses!
His gaze shifted toward Moiraine, whose transformation into a terrifying Honored Arch Living Existence wielding hundreds of Eminent Glyphs represented one of the most significant achievements so far. Yet...her first action after ascending to such overwhelming power would be to help manually harvest crops in the Early Veiled Shore!
There was something profoundly appropriate about this!
As Noah approached the cultivation plot with Heidrun beside him and Moiraine moving to join them, the Early Veiled Shore itself seemed to pulse with anticipation.
As he moved and began to harvest the grass by hand, he looked around and wondered...nothing too crazy was going on out there in the meanwhile, right?
"..."
Such a thought only rose once before he shook his head with a smile and returned to his task of harvesting.
Acting as an Early Creature- as a Farmer in this Early Veiled Shore had granted him a more rapid progression than what any grand battles or war would have.
Doing things in the Early Veiled Shore would actually allow him to progress the fastest!
The harvest began with quintessential glory.
Noah positioned himself at one edge of the cultivation plot while Moiraine approached from another angle, her newly transformed presence making the very air shimmer with contained authority.
Between them, Heidrun stood with the imperious confidence of someone who had never failed at any task she deemed worthy of her attention.
Glass containers materialized around the edges of the plot, their crystalline surfaces designed to preserve the unique properties of whatever they contained.
For her first attempt at harvesting, Heidrun approached a particularly vibrant cluster of green-gold shoots with the focused intensity of someone proving a point.
Her jaws opened with careful precision as she grasped the grass with movements that should have been flawless in their execution.
But...by the time her mouth moved toward the designated container, the Auric Vitae Grass had long since disappeared down her throat!
...!
Oh!
Her eyes shone with pleasure and contentment that she couldn’t quite suppress, the taste of the delicacy overwhelming her intentions with pure sensory bliss.
Yet almost immediately, guilt flickered across her crystalline gaze as she realized what had occurred.
She looked toward Noah with an expression that mixed embarrassment with determination, noting how he remained focused on his own harvesting work without judgment or criticism.
In that moment, Heidrun made a decisive promise to herself: she would successfully harvest a bundle without consuming it.
Her second attempt began with even greater resolve.
She approached another cluster with movements that carried the dignity of someone who had learned from previous mistakes.
Her jaws closed around the grass with deliberate control, every fiber of her being focused on the simple task of transportation.
But once again, by the time her mouth reached the container, the grass had vanished into her stomach!
She released a tremendous sigh of contentment that spoke to satisfaction beyond conscious control, her body betraying her intentions through pure instinctive response to the incredible delicacy.
But this...
How could she fail at such a fundamental task? Her! An Eminent Early Living Land Lifeform whose capabilities should have transcended such simple difficulties!
She could do this. She would do this!
And so she continued to try, each attempt ending in the same inevitable conclusion despite her growing determination to succeed at what should have been elementary work.
Noah, meanwhile, had fully immersed himself in the harvest with the focused attention. He moved with unhurried precision, his hands working the blessed soil while his mind contemplated the larger implications of what they were accomplishing.
As he worked, his thoughts turned to the limitations that currently constrained the Early Veiled Shore.
Those boundaries had served their purpose during the initial development phase, but now they represented obstacles to greater achievement.
The Shore possessed infinite potential that remained locked behind arbitrary restrictions!
His eyes began to shine with growing intensity as understanding formed into decision. The time had come to push beyond current boundaries, to attempt advancement that would elevate the Shore to new heights!
As his hands continued their careful work, new information began flowing across his consciousness.
|Harvest Quality Assessment: Current collection consists entirely of Standard Quality Auric Vitae Grass. Environmental factors and harvesting technique have maintained baseline potency without enhancement or degradation.|
The assessment continued as both he and Moiraine worked with methodical precision, their combined efforts gradually filling container after container with the precious green-gold vegetation.
After helping to harvest more than half of the available crop, Noah nodded with satisfaction at their progress. He turned to Moiraine, whose delicate yet serious approach to the work showed how seriously she took it.
"Finish up," he said with quiet authority, his gaze shifting toward Heidrun, who had completely failed in all her attempts at harvesting.
The goat now lay upon the golden sands with a noticeably enlarged belly, her normally arrogant expression transformed into something that resembled drunken contentment from consuming hundreds of the precious grass shoots.
Noah shook his head with amusement at the sight before turning his attention to more pressing matters. His gaze swept across the radiant expanse of the Shore as he voiced his next intention!
"I shall sacrifice more blood to expand the number of cultivation plots- 5 more."
HUUM!
New prompts appeared soon after!
|Five new cultivation areas require 90 drops of Early Creature blood for proper enhancement and soil preparation. Enhanced plots will provide increased yield compared to original specifications.|
Noah nodded his agreement without hesitation!
His palm split open with the practiced ease of someone who had grown accustomed to such sacrifices, and ninety dull crimson-gold drops flowed forth like liquid starlight. They moved with purposeful intent toward empty areas of the Shore, each drop carrying within its essence the concentrated power needed to transform golden sands into blessed agricultural territory.
The blood sank into the golden sands, and immediately the transformation began.
Five additional plots of fertile land rose from the Shore itself, their surfaces shining with the same white-gold radiance that marked areas touched by Early Creature essence.
Satisfied with this expansion, Noah turned back to Moiraine, who continued her delicate work with the serious concentration of someone who understood the importance of precision in all things.
"When you are done harvesting," he instructed, "you can begin planting the seeds here and on the other plots."
Moiraine, this terrifying being whose power now ranked among Honored Arch Living Existences, simply nodded with the respectful attention of a devoted follower.
"Yes, Sir!" she replied without the slightest trace of resentment at being assigned such humble work, even looking at it as something sacred!
Noah’s expression grew more serious as he surveyed the Shore that had become his sanctuary and foundation for advancement beyond normal limitations.
When he spoke again, his words were tyrannically heavy.
"I wish...to fulfill the final condition for the advancement of the Early Veiled Shore."
...!
Oh!
