After a few trips back and forth, he finally finished watering all the plots.

While he was watering, Kim Haru also took the time to inspect the little seedlings. Each one had plump leaves and stood tall and firm, clearly top-quality plants.

As he observed them, he began to feel excited about the day when they would finally be harvested.

Hmm... maybe farming games aren't so boring after all.

After finishing the day's watering, Kim Haru was about to put the watering can back in the living room when he suddenly turned and was startled!

Right next to him, three big figures squatted in unison, their eyes shining as they stared intently at the thirty little green sprouts he had just watered. Occasionally, they would glance at him with the same intensity.

Kim Haru: "..."

"What are you doing?" Why were they all squatting there like that? Had these guys really never seen farming before?

A flurry of thoughts swirled in Kim Haru's head, but due to his mild social anxiety, only three cold words came out of his mouth. His tone was cold, which frightened the group even more.

"We're sorry, we're sorry! We swear we won't tell anyone!"

Oh my god! Mr. Kim had actually grown vegetables! Normal vegetables that didn't produce toxins, didn't suddenly uproot themselves and run around, and wouldn't turn into killer plants. They were normal, edible vegetables!

Shin Woncheon and the others knew that if this information got out, people would come flocking from everywhere, and Mr. Kim's peaceful life would be completely disrupted. Even though he was incredibly powerful, the constant harassment would surely become unbearable.

They immediately shifted from squatting to kneeling, swearing on the spot that they would absolutely never reveal anything they had seen here. If they broke this vow, they declared, they would be torn apart and devoured by zombies!

Kim Haru: "..."

What was wrong with them? Had they lost their minds? Why were they acting so weird?

Kim Haru felt incredibly awkward. He had no idea what to say in this situation, so he could only stare back at the three of them... and continue staring...

...

Forget it, he decided. Whatever they were doing, he was just going to pretend he didn't see or hear anything.

"Your injuries—are they okay now?" Kim Haru pointed at their wounds, trying to change the subject.

The three of them who are still kneeling on the ground, instantly relaxed, shaking their heads in response: "After resting for the night, we're almost fully recovered. We're all ability users, so our physical strength is naturally better. Plus, we still have some energy crystals saved up. Aside from Ra Jinho, the rest of us are fine."

Looks like they passed the test!

Shin Woncheon and the others breathed a huge sigh of relief upon realizing that Kim Haru wasn't going to bring up the land again. They had been so tense a moment ago—Mr. Kim's scrutinizing gaze was so intense and deep, it felt like an immense pressure bearing down on them. They had been terrified they might disappear from the world in an instant.
