"Buy, buy, buy! But, Mr. Kim, could you give us a little time? We don't have enough crystal cores on us and need to go back to the city to get more."

Crystal cores weren't something people carried in large quantities. Most safe zones had official storage facilities where trusted individuals would leave their cores in there. Others, who didn't trust these places, would find a secure spot of their own to hide their stash.

When Kim Haru heard they were heading back to the safe zone, a thought struck him.

He still remembered that the original owner of his body had a villa in the safe zone. Even though he planned to settle here, he couldn't just let some scum squad take over that villa! He needed to reclaim it.

It didn't take Kim Haru long to decide to follow the squad to the safe zone.

As for whether there would be an inspection to detect a mutated creature at the safe zone's entrance, Kim Haru was willing to take the risk.

He trusted that if the farming system wanted him to sell vegetables, it would have a solution for this problem.

Shin Woncheon and his group were anxiously waiting for Kim Haru's response. When they heard that not only did he agree, but he also wanted to go with them, they were overjoyed and didn't know how to express their happiness.

Without Kim Haru having to say much, they could tell from the way he packed the cabbages that he had a specific purpose for going to the safe zone, and they immediately stepped forward to help with the preparations.

Since Kim Haru was also planning to leave, the four members of Shin Woncheon's squad breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, they wouldn't have known how to deal with the area of mutated plants they would have to pass through on the way.

The potatoes didn't need much cleaning—just shaking off the dirt would be enough before packing them. The cabbages weren't difficult either; all it took was slicing the root off. Only the soybeans were a bit more tedious, as they had to be shelled from the pods.

Shin Woncheon and Ryu Hyunwoo sat on one side, shelling soybeans, while Ra Jinho dug up the potatoes and naturally took on the task of cleaning them. The remaining job of cutting the cabbage roots fell to Gang Yuwon.

Gang Yuwon held the sickle Kim Haru gave him like a nervous newlywed bride who had never held a knife before.

Oh god, do I really have to chop this? Do I really have to cut? What if I ruin this crisp, fresh cabbage? What if I accidentally cut too much… or at the wrong angle… or if my hand shakes…?

The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became.

"Sir, actually the roots are edible too. How about… we just don't cut them?" Gang Yuwon, unable to bring himself to do it, looked at Kim Haru with a pleading expression.

Kim Haru: "?"

Can the roots really be eaten? He had never seen cabbage roots being sold when he shopped at the supermarket.
