My Farm System: Reaching The Top In The Parallel Earth!

"Goodbye, sister!" Rezen waved his hand as he watch Florine fly out of his farm

His face has a deep grin on it. As for the reason? He just finished extorting millions of mana stones from her

No matter how Florine was threatened, the fact that she did betray Rezen would not change no matter what her reason was

This just shows that her support and loyalty to Rezen have great limitations

Rezen understands Florine but he also has his own circumstances. He is not the type of person that would forgive others easily

Everyone has their own circumstances, Rezen has his own and not just Florine. If Rezen doesn't have his mutated crops, things would definitely be different today

"Now, I'm only fifteen million short before I can upgrade my farm. How do I earn that much money? I want to reach the 4th rank as soon as possible to increase my strength..." Rezen muttered

Once a person is close to their goal, their tendency is to become impatient. Rezen is also like that

His mood for cooking was already ruined and his attention was on thinking about how he could earn fifteen million in the fastest way possible

He secured long-term cooperation with Daydream and that would increase his revenue. However, Rezen still doesn't want to throw caution in the wind

He would still restrict how much he could sell for safety's sake

"Master!"

While Rezen was in the midst of thinking, he heard someone calling him. And when he looked at the source, he saw that it was his newest slav— subordinate

Unlike the Tattoo Warriors under his command, this one is a human

It was none other than Lord Keito!

Rezen used one of the two mutated soybeans that he has to hypnotize Keito and turned him into his loyal subordinate to remove his name from the Twighlight Beasts' kill list

"Hmm, you're here?" Rezen muttered and Keito excitedly gave him mana stones, almost a hundred thousand of them in total

"Yes, master, these are what I extorted from my subordinates!" Keito answered truthfully

To normal people, a hundred thousand mana stones are quite a lot but to Rezen, that is far from enough

It's just that, he can't really blame Keito for only giving this much. Keito already gave all of his wealth to Rezen and right now, his only source of income is through squeezing his subordinates

As Keito is at the 4th rank, those under him are 3rd rank mages. Since there's a large difference between the two ranks, there's also a large difference between their wealth

"Alright, thank you" Rezen said. This little money might be far from enough but money is money and he can only sigh

Seeing his expression, Keito knew that the money he gave is not enough and he tried on giving a suggestion

"Master, do you want me to borrow money from my fellow Lords? You can kill me after I borrow and gave the money to you!" Keito suggested

If he did that, naturally, the people he borrowed money from wouldn't be able to get their money back but Rezen shook his head

He is not that cruel and it's not like he can just plant moles on Twighlight Beasts whenever he wants

"Nah, leave your fellows Lords alon— wait..."

Rezen's eyes lit up as he just thought of a cruel plan

The Twighlight Beast is his enemy and to enemies, one shouldn't give mercy

Rezen is now living in a world where magic is possible. This is a dangerous world and giving mercy to enemies is also dangerous

"Heh... hehehe... hehehe..." Rezen started laughing at the plan he just thought of

Not only could he cut a bit of Twighlight Beast's power, but he would also solve the problem of the lacking fifteen million mana stones

"Come here my lovely subordinate, we will commence a fantastic plan today!" Rezen said with an evil smile and Keito lend his ears to him

——-

"Lord Terrom, I need your help" a mage wearing white robes said in a serious tone

Inside a Manor in Greenwood City, two people sitting on opposite ends can be seen

One of them was the mage wearing a white robe and the other was also a mage but his upper body was completely bare, exposing the hard muscles that he possessed

"How unusual. This is not like you" the man called Lord Terrom said before taking a bite of a roasted meat

He was holding the meat's bone while biting and chewing the meat attached to it. The way he eat was a complete mess. Some of the sauce even dirtied Keito's robes but the man can only hold it in

"That's because I really need your help" Keito replied and even without swallowing the chewed meat inside his mouth, Lord Terrom spoke again

"Yeah, so? What is it? I'll try to see if I can help but you know how things work" Terrom replied, indicating that his help requires payment and since there was still meat inside his mouth, some landed on Keito's face when he spoke

Lord Keito took out a handkerchief and wiped the meat off of his face

"It's these"

Keito raised his hand and a piece of cherry appeared on top of his palm

"A cherry? You know that I don't like vegetables or fruits. I prefer meat"

"This is not a normal cherry"

"Then what is it? A legendary elixir that tastes like meat?"

Rezen might have hypnotized Keito but only to the extent of making him loyal to him

Keito still retains his personality and since he is a person that likes cleanliness, the treatment he is receiving from Lord Terrom irritates him

As a result, Keito threw the cherry on Lord Terrom

At first, Terrom just shrugged his shoulders. Not thinking much about that cherry

However, as soon as Keito threw the said cherry, it suddenly opened 'its' eyes that has a furious look at them

The cherry starts to expand and distort as if it was on the brink of explosion and in truth, that was really the case

Terrom suddenly sensed danger and a mystic gem flew out of his elixir field

"[Flesh Eater!]"

Terrom has a pinkish cream mystic gem and the magic circle that he had created was the same color

From it, some sort of ball monster came out. The monster seems to have been created using pure flesh

It has no skin to cover its body and the sharp rows of teeth it has made it look really ugly and disgusting

The Flesh Eater opened its mouth to swallow the cherry when...

Boom!

Blood and burnt pieces of flesh were sent flying everywhere. The Flesh Eater ate the cherry bomb causing its demise

"W-what the hell is that cherry?!" Lord Terrom questioned. From the explosion, he sensed that it has the power equivalent to a spell at the 4th fusion rank

How could a cherry explode and even have that level of power?

"That's a cherry that I unexpectedly found in the wild. Pretty powerful isn't it?" Keito said with a smile but inside him, he was still irritated

This is the reason why he doesn't like Lord Terrom!

This musclehead has no manners, especially dining manners!

Whenever he eats, a mess would definitely be created. He would even laugh or speak even with food inside his mouth!

He was simply too disgusting and Keito definitely doesn't like him!

If not for his Master's order, he wouldn't seek out this dirty bastard. He is even forced to smile even when he is severely irritated inside

Too bad that people like Lord Terrom are his and his master's target

People that are members of the Twighlight Beast at the 4th fusion rank but have no particularly strong backing

Even if they die, aside from the organization itself, no one would avenge them

"Why are you saying this to me?" Lord Terrom asked in doubt

Wouldn't a treasure like that be something that the discoverer would try to hide as much as they can?

"From where I found that cherry, there were literally tens of thousands of them or possibly even a hundred thousand of them"

"With that much, we would definitely be unrivaled at the 4th rank and possibly even has the power to contend against a mage above our level"

"Even if we don't plan on using them personally, they would still sell for a lot of money"

As expected, Lord Terrom's greed was ignited. Power or money, it would be up to them to choose as long as they get their hands on those cherries

"What do you need my help for?"

"As much as I want to hoard all the cherries for myself, I don't have enough capabilities"

"There were magic beasts that are guarding the piles of cherries and I can't defeat all of them. I only managed to secure a handful of cherries"

Lord Terrom's eyes lit up. Doesn't this mean that if he helps Keito, he could receive a share of these cherries?
