After the fence was completed, Kim Haru checked the system and saw the fence's attributes.

[ Wooden Fence, Basic Defense, Can Resist Low-Level Mutated Creatures. ]

The attributes even provided explanations about the mutated creatures, which included mutated humans, animals, and plants.

Kim Haru immediately understood—mutated humans meant zombies, didn't it? As expected from the system! Initially, he had only thought about protecting his crops from animals, completely forgetting that the world's "specialty" here was zombies. Not only did he need to guard against animals, but zombies too.

Although, Kim Haru wasn't entirely sure if zombies would be interested in vegetables they couldn't even eat.

...

On the day the vegetables matured, Kim Haru, for once, woke up early.

Shin Woncheon and his group, as usual, were squatting beside the vegetable garden. When they saw Kim Haru wake up, their eyes lit up as they quickly stepped aside to make way for him.

Opening the fence, Kim Haru reached out to touch the plants, and immediately, a notification from the farming system popped up.

[ Ready for Harvest. ]

Since the matured vegetables no longer needed watering, he placed the watering can aside.

Now, there was a small problem.

How exactly was he supposed to harvest the cabbage and soybeans?

Kim Haru knew that potatoes needed to be dug out with a hoe since the tubers grew underground.

[ Would you like to open the cabbage harvesting tutorial? ]

The system appeared just in time.

"Yes, yes, hurry and open it!" Kim Haru eagerly nodded.

In the next moment, a step-by-step cabbage harvesting guide, complete with pictures, appeared before Kim Haru. Afterward, he checked the soybean harvesting tutorial in the same way, and just to be safe, he glanced over the potato harvesting instructions too, in case his memory was wrong.

Once he had a clear understanding of the process, Kim Haru decided to start with the easier task—harvesting the soybeans.

Soybeans were simple. He just had to pluck the pods from the plants. He could shell the beans immediately or leave the pods to dry and let them crack open on their own.

As soon as he picked the first soybean pod, the system chimed with a "ding" sound.

[ First Planting Achievement Unlocked. ]

[ Blueprint Acquired: Basic Fertilizer. Add to soil plots to speed up the seed growth. ]

[ Tool Acquired: Iron Sickle, Ideal for Cutting Grass. ]

[ Mission Log Updated: Sell your farm products. Suggested prices: 20 gold coins per 600gr of cabbage, 30 gold coins per 600gr of soybeans, 12 gold coins per 600gr of potatoes. ]

Kim Haru automatically converted the gold coins in his mind to crystal cores.

He immediately started worrying about what to do if no one bought the products.

He glanced at the cabbages in the field, which were growing extremely well—each one seemed to weigh at least more than 1,5kg. In other words, a single cabbage would cost at least forty crystal cores?

Forty zombies would have to be killed to earn that much for just one cabbage, and not every zombie even had a crystal core. Would anyone really be willing to buy such expensive cabbage?
