23 The Quarry.

'The problem with masonry. The Amber Village didn't have any queries around. I could take the number of stones from Clay's village quarry.'

He decided to head to their quarry. It wasn't far, the size of it was huge. It wasn't made by these villagers. Aron didn't wait and ran inside, he started to absorb stones to the system. After a minute or so, a notification appeared.

[Huge amount of stone detected. Unlocking Stone Quarry.]

[Congratulations. You unlocked the resource areas.]

[Forest Are will be separated into lumberjack's area and orchards.]

[System will replant the trees into their separate area.]

[Stone Quarry]

[Pa.s.sive generation: 5 tonnes of stone per day.]

[Cost: Stone(50 WE per tone)]

[Functions: Resource Generation]

[Storage: Connected]

'All my resources will go to storage! No waste of s.p.a.ce.'

It was an interesting concept, if there was quarry then should be something to generate clay or water. He headed the marshlands once more, the clay was everywhere around this village, absorbing it to close would lead to villagers pondering about the hole.

[New resource detected.]

[Digging site Unlocked.]

[Digging Site]

[Pa.s.sive generating: 1 tone per day(Clay)]

[Cost: Clay(20 WE per tone)]

'I can start creating pottery haha'

The next was swamp itself, absorption was weird. After around 100 liters, the notification rang.

[Detection of water substance.]

[Water is not drinkable.]

[Creating swamp.]

[Adding wetlands to Farming Area]

[Cannot generate well with low-quality water. The host should search for better quality water.]

'I should search for a better water source.'

He came back to Alex house and made some laundry, as he didn't take many sets of clothes, so he actually needed to clean these. He has some clean clothes inside the s.p.a.ce, yet he didn't want to explain himself to anyone.

The animals in s.p.a.ce started to breed between themselves. System stopped automatically gathering the eggs and let quails and hens incubate their eggs. The other animals, taking aside the snakes and frogs were actually mating.

'I need to get more animals. There will be a problem of small DNA pull and at some point, the quality of my animals will fall.'

[Host shouldn't worry about this. The problem of low genetic pull won't be affecting animals in the Ranch area. Although getting more animals would increase of improving our animals.]

'You mean if I bring sheep with better quality wool. You will prioritize getting more animals with this particular trait.'

[The specimens with negative traits won't mate and system recommends butchering them in earlier. Positive traits will mate to improve quality of herd.]

'You can prevent genetic problems connected to small genetic pull, yet you cannot remove negative traits from animals.'

[Host is wrong. It's possible to remove negative traits from animals, yet the host didn't unlock it at

this moment.]

[It might change in the future or it might not change at all. All depends on the host.]

[It's better to give less but accurate information than give more inaccurate information.]

'Whatever.'

A few days later, the villagers were getting better. It was time to come back to Amber village.

He was packing his stuff when Alex called him.

"Someone came here to talk to you."

It was the same man, that he beat a few days ago. His body was still sore and covered with bruises.

He was gritting the teeth, yet looking in a weird way at Alex.

"I came here, to apologize for my attack. A few years ago, I was mercenary, my carried ended but my habits are still part of me." The man wanted to fight Aron again, yet he was afraid of something and it was related to Alex in some way.

"Ok, I hope you will take this lesson to heart. Next time, you won't wake up."

"I understand... Remember, even if you are strong. There are always people stronger than you. I met people that destroyed the stones with bare hands."

"You don't need to remind me. I saw the wolf, it's speed was hard to follow my eyes. It ripped the head of the deer like it was nothing." The boy wasn't c.o.c.ky, yet he couldn't let stupid villagers like this man do what they wanted.

"Ok, I want to leave this village. I hope next time I meet you. You will be more tactful."

The man left and Alex laughed.

"He didn't want to apologize at all. His wife woke up, and when she heard about his idiocy. She started to scream at him and beat him. She is only one person, with control over him."

"Why don't you beat him to senses then?" Asked curious Aron. The man was problematic and caused trouble in the village.

"He might appear hot-blooded and stupid. This person is honorable and saved my life multiple times. I don't have the heart to hurt him. "

"I understand, I hope his wife will teach him some common sense."

Aron was leaving the village and some villagers came to thank him personally. They brought some gifts.

"You don't need to give me anything." Aron couldn't take much from them, he knew that there was still time before the harvest. So they would have no food.

He took some seeds of the different crop though and said.

"I will come here in a few days check your situation. You can thank me then." He signaled and left.

He got barley seeds and rye. The system will arrange s.p.a.ce to plant them and his storage will have more kinds of food inside. He needed to create prototypes for the mill and many different devices to improve his own life and life of his people in the future.

The mill to grind crops into flour, the pottery wheel to create pottery and many more devices, simple but useful. People of the modern world had factories to make these things for them. Most processes were automated by robot arms and other inventions.

'If I got quarry from stone. Will I get mines from ores?'
