Interdimensional Farming in Another World



The allure of the gene upgrade function was so captivating that Alex found himself unable to sleep until he tried it.

Upon discovering that he could enhance the genes of the animals within the farm, he made a firm decision to dedicate more of his time to the farm.

Excitedly, Alex made his way to the research pod and accessed its menu, directing himself towards the gene upgrade function.

Inside there, he saw the only available option. It was a menu to select the gene he was going to use to upgrade. The available option only contained mana genes. And next to it, there was a price tag of 10,000 FP.

Based on his observations, Alex inferred that this particular gene had the potential to bestow upon ordinary farm animals, originating from Earth, the ability to wield mana.

Eager to proceed, Alex clicked on the mana gene option, and the interface prompted him to indicate the specific animal he intended to enhance through the gene upgrade. 

Alex, without much consideration, decided to choose a nearby cow that was leisurely grazing for his initial experiment.

As he selected the cow, a farm notification popped up, requesting him to make the payment before proceeding with the gene upgrade. Without hesitation, Alex fulfilled the payment as requested.

A total of 10,000 FP was deducted from his balance, which stood at 100,000 FP. This amount would have been sufficient to create a teleportation point, a feature that proved immensely valuable to Alex. Nevertheless, he willingly paid the price in its entirety, recognising the significance of this gene upgrade endeavour.

Some might be wondering why Alex was low on FP.

In the past, Alex used the FP he had primarily for buying land. But now he couldn't do that. Instead, he allocated his FP towards purchasing tools capable of automating various tasks on the farm, as well as teleportation points and seeds that could be utilised in the real world. These expenditures gradually depleted his FP reserves, leaving him with a diminished balance.

Consequently, the farm had now reached a state of complete automation. With the implementation of advanced tools and systems, Alex found himself in a position where he could simply relax and enjoy the benefits reaped from his labour.

"Swish…" A giant floating syringe, as big as a human thigh, materialised before Alex as it flew past him through the air towards the selected cow.

The unsuspecting cow had no time to react as the giant syringe pierced its body near the heart, injecting it with some kind of serum.

A vibrant green liquid streamed from the syringe, infiltrating the cow's veins. Initially, the cow let out a pained scream, but within seconds, it succumbed to unconsciousness, collapsing gently onto the ground.

Lying peacefully on the earth, the cow slumbered while the green liquid coursed through its body, reaching every nook and cranny.

Alex remained uncertain about the precise nature of the green liquid. However, he speculated that it might possess some connection to the purple flesh and purple blood he had encountered previously.

After all, the new function was given after he analysed the purple flesh. 

The interdimensional farm was a peculiar entity. It could modify and grow by taking in information from its surroundings.

First, it displayed this ability while Alex awakened. It took the information from the spirit guardian as a data point and extracted it to give Alex the ability to control energy. 

Even though it came from a world without mana. It could identify mana and make use of it immediately after coming in contact with it. The interdimensional farm had a great ability to adapt.

Then it acquired some runes from the corpse of a dead beast at the time of the attack by the evil organisation on Blue gem city. This data extracted from the runes were used to give Alex the ability to teleport. 

Alex didn't question this ability at first because of the nature of the interdimensional farm. After all, just by its name, we could tell that it had some kind of spatial ability.

Later, it once again displayed the ability to adapt to the surroundings when it gave Alex the ability to transform tier 3 and above materials into fertiliser.

Lastly, it extracted some information from the illusory figure of the spirit guardian of the thousand-headed serpent tribe and the blue gem. This information was used to strengthen the energy circulation skill of Alex.

And the conclusion that Alex reached after observing the minute changes in the interdimensional farm was that it was growing along with him.

The information it gained about the world around it was being used by interdimensional farms to grow. 

However, Alex didn't know what it was growing towards or how fast it was growing. But, he knew that it was helpful for him.

So, the gene upgrade function will also be a helpful tool in his endeavour. Alex concluded as he observed the cow.

Even if the ability was gained after analysis of the purple flesh, it might not be something harmful.

The purple flesh possessed an immensely mutagenic property, capable of fusing disparate DNA sequences through the utilisation of mana, facilitating its own evolutionary progression.

It is conceivable that the interdimensional farm acquired the mana gene by studying and analysing the purple flesh. By replicating the mechanism through which the purple flesh evolved, the farm could have synthesised the green liquid, enabling controlled evolution in a regulated manner.

This profound realisation sent Alex's thoughts wandering, contemplating the implications of this discovery. The interdimensional farm's ability to comprehend and replicate the mutagenic properties of the purple flesh showcased its immense potential for modification and manipulation of life forms. The possibilities and ramifications of such capabilities opened up a realm of exploration and intrigue, sparking curiosity within Alex's mind.

As the pieces of the puzzle fell into place within Alex's mind, a complete picture began to emerge.

He pondered the question: What truly defined the limits of biological evolution?

The answer lay in the inherent nature of heredity. Organisms exist primarily to pass on their genes to the next generation, as postulated in Darwinian theory through the concept of "survival of the fittest."

Alex recognised that this hereditary process posed a limitation. A single individual lacked the means to combat the forces of nature effectively. The majority of its existence would rely upon the genes inherited from its parents and any fortuitous mutations that may have occurred within its own body.

This realisation shed light on the vulnerability and constraints inherent in biological evolution. The destiny of an organism was intricately intertwined with the genetic legacy it carried, with limited ability to actively shape its own evolutionary path.

In effect, that meant that a carp couldn't evolve into a flying dragon.

However, mana possesses the power to defy such limitations, rendering everything possible.

Mana transcends the confines of traditional evolutionary norms, offering a realm of boundless potential. The purple flesh's demonstration of gene fusion and integration from different species through the influence of mana serves as a testament to this extraordinary capability.

With mana's involvement, the interdimensional farm can reshape and merge genetic material in unprecedented ways, enabling the synthesis of traits that would otherwise be unimaginable within conventional biological frameworks. Mana unlocks a realm of infinite possibilities, dismantling the barriers that once confined biological evolution.

Now, a carp could really evolve into a dragon. 

A single individual now had the potential to overthrow the world.

As Alex's thoughts approached this juncture, a shiver ran down his spine, eliciting a mixture of anticipation and awe. The revelation of a new way of life stirred within him a deep sense of inspiration, fueling his aspiration to transcend and become an enhanced version of himself.

Driven by the desire to break through and become a formidable powerhouse, Alex made a resolute decision. While the cow slumbered serenely, undergoing cellular transformations under the influence of the green liquid, he chose to seize the opportunity and embark on his own journey towards the next level of growth.

With that thought in mind. He exited the interdimensional farm.

—----------

Breaking through the barrier of tier 3 was difficult for most warriors. Most warriors never grow past tier 3 in their entire life.

Similarly, mages had their problems while trying to break through from the journeyman level(tier 3) to the master level(tier 4). 

But, both had one similarity in their ways of breaking through. It had something to do with their ability to control mana or energy. Most of the time, it would be a limitation of the mind that prevents warriors or mages from breaking through to the next tier. 

Considering that, If Alex could find his mental limit and overcome it, he could attain the ability to store more mana in his body.

While that was true, Alex did not fit the mould of a typical mage or warrior. He possessed a unique blend of both skill sets, making him a formidable force. His extraordinary abilities stemmed from his capability to create and distribute multiple cores throughout his body.

So, the question remained: How could he surpass his current limitations

While looking at it from the complexity that mages or warriors look at their breakthrough, the chances Alex had were slim. He was walking along his path with no manual or instructions to follow.

But that didn't prevent Alex from trying. The moment he began his endeavour he knew he had a rough path ahead.
