Interdimensional Farming in Another World



Sometime later that day.

Alex and Chitra were talking.

"I have a way to go to your tribe quickly," Alex paused. Chitra was his 'pet', so he knew a way for them to travel to Pushpam quickly. 

But his abrupt pause meant he was unwilling to share that with Chitra. 

Chitra realised this fact instantly. 

"What do you need me to do?" She asked.

"Well, nothing complicated. Saving you was a difficult task, and it cost me a lot. But it would be worth it if you can help with some things." Alex's eyes glinted.

"What would you need my help for?"

"I want you to find a person."

"A person that you are interested in. I presume this person is not normal, right?"

"Ha ha ha. You catch on quickly. Yes, this person is challenging to find. I was tracking him even recently. But he suddenly disappeared from my sight. Can you do it?"

"..." Chitra, however, didn't answer immediately. She looked at Alex deeply. Some mental calculation was always needed when interacting with people like Alex. She knew that. 

"Don't worry. I won't force you to do anything. Tracking this person and knowing his whereabouts would only benefit you and your tribe." 

"Even the skill that I will impart to you to travel fast will benefit you greatly." Alex tried his best to convince Chitra.

"Does it have something to do with 'pet' and 'slave'?" 

"..." 

"Your memory is great." Alex gave a thumbs-up with a smile. If it was impossible to hide, he had to accept it. 

"Those words are just a technicality, but the abilities they allow you to wield will be worth it. If you agree to my demands, I can show you how to use it." 

"You know I could return to my home even without using your abilities, right?"

"Yes," Alex replied.

It was something Alex knew. Chitra didn't need to depend on him to survive anymore. She could make her own decisions. There was no real reason to accept Alex's demands. 

For some time, neither spoke. 

"Okay, I am willing to find the person you are desperately searching for. Now, show me your ability." 

Chitra took a leap of faith this time. She knew that he was trustworthy by evaluating his actions up till now. 

Alex's lips curled into a smile upon hearing her words.

Watching him smile made her reconsider her decision. 

"Come with me." 

Alex stepped forward and grabbed Chitra's arm. 

"I will teleport us to a place where we can test the skills." He said before disappearing from the place along with Chitra.

Soon after, they reappeared on the mountaintop near the village. That was the best vantage point Alex could see from his house. Then, he used the teleport again to a forest just a kilometre away. 

Chitra felt nauseous as they finally stopped. The sudden warping of space and gravity made her queasy. She turned to look at Alex at that moment. 

Alex was standing there without any expression. 

Chitra couldn't imagine how Alex could do that. Was he not affected by the warping of space? She thought in her mind.

"Okay. We are now far away from the village. Let's begin." 

"Farm. Allow Chitra to inherit all the skills imparted by the farm." Alex stated. 

[Please confirm by saying. "I allow."]

"I allow."

[Confirmation processed. Chitra can use the skill of the farm."]

"Who are you talking to?" Chitra asked.

"You will know soon enough. The skills have been imparted to you. Can you feel any difference?" 

"No, I feel the same." 

"No sensation of energy being released from your body or something?" 

"No,"

"..."

"It's normal."

"I don't think it is normal. You don't know what's happening, do you?" 

"Everything is under control." 

"Not something a person who has everything in control would say." 

"You would believe me after I show you this." Alex moved towards a giant rock. 

"Can you see this rock?"

"Obviously." 

Suddenly, Alex released a plume of smoke and touched the rock. He quickly moved it to the inventory while the smoke covered Chitra's vision.

The smoke cleared as quickly as it appeared. 

"Ta-da…" Alex said while pointing at the place the rock was in. 

"The stone is gone?"

"This is one of the abilities of the interdimensional farm. And you can do the same." 

"Isn't it the same as a spatial tool? Storing some stone away is not that great of an ability." Chitra showed her disinterest in his antics. 

"Not just a stone. I can store hundreds or thousands of these stones when I combine the inventory and warehouse skill of the farm." 

This information revived Chitra's interest. 

"How can I do it?" She finally asked. 

"By thinking about storing the item." 

Alex explained in detail how to use the inventory function and warehouse. And this fascinated Chitra. With that, he also explained the limits. Chitra could only use it within a kilometre distance of Alex. This instantly destroyed the joy she felt. 

But that didn't matter to Alex. He was like a professional salesman selling the benefits of the farm. 

He continued explaining how to enter the farm and use the teleport and teleport point, even about farming vegetables in the interdimensional farm. Some of his secrets were also revealed to Chitra.

Chitra was satisfied after hearing about the benefits. It was better than she thought. 

"So, I have to use the teleport point to return to Pushpam faster." Chitra nodded understandingly. 

"Yes. Now, what do you think about my demand? It's worth it, right?"

"Yes," Chitra affirmed. 

"You can't go back on your words. You have to find him." Alex asked for confirmation once again. 

"Yes. I don't break my promises." 

"Then, go home. You can speak with the farm AI if you have doubts about the farm feature. It will help you. The information about the person you have to find is in the inventory. And please don't spend all the FP."

Alex decided to send away Chitra while giving her some warning. 

Chitra took a moment of pause. Finally, she spoke when their eyes met. 

"Thank you." She was grateful to Alex. 

Then, in a flash, she disappeared towards the teleport point Alex had placed. She quickly hopped teleport points one after another to reach her home. 

"At least she knows how to say thank you." Alex went back to his home.

—

Two days went by.

Kalina returned to Blue Gem City after a while. Meena followed her sister back. 

Alex spent the days relaxing. The simple routine of waking up early, eating a lavish breakfast, relaxing until evening, training a little and sleeping again was so calming to his mind.

He spend the days reflecting on his life and enjoying the benefits it gave.

"How peaceful it would be if I could spend the rest of my life like this." He spoke aloud while sipping tea in his backyard. 

Suddenly, space warped near him. A lady appeared near him.

"Sigh." Alex sensed it and sighed. 

"You came earlier than I imagined."

"I found the person you were looking for." Chitra expressed the reason for her early return. 

"That was quick. Did you use all the resources of the Divine Butterfly tribe?" 

"No, I was lucky." Chitra lied. She had used all the methods she could to find the person.

"Where is he currently?" 

"On the western continent." 

"Ah! That's a long distance away." 

"Just two thousand kilometres away. A hop with a teleport point would be enough." 

"I have never gone to the western continent. There is no teleport point to hop to." Alex stated.

"Ah!" Chitra realised her mistake. 

"And, didn't I say to not use teleport point for everything? I can see the FP draining every day. Did you think I didn't see that?" 

"I had to use it. The leader of the tribe was not present in Pushpam when I went here. I had to find her and explain what happened to me." She showed a helpless expression when she spoke.

"Why did you want to find this person?" 

"Ah! Thee was a fellow tribesman. But suddenly, one day, he ran away from home." 

"But, why did you say I would benefit from finding this person? I just can't understand it." 

"You will understand once we find him. Are you ready to go to the western continent?" 

Alex's sudden question didn't startle Chitra. She knew it was coming before he spoke. If he used every resource available to find this person, it would be for nothing.

She came prepared to find this person. 

"When I met the leader of my tribe, she asked me to stay low until the Champion's tournament. Nothing is preventing me from taking a trip to the west."

"Then, let's go. You go to Thira using the teleport point and wait for me at the front gate. I want to test something." 

"What?" 

"I want to know how long it would take me to reach there using short-distance teleportation. I don't think It would take that much time." Alex said with a smirk.

Alex's confidence was due to the five thousand mana cores spread out inside his body. They were rotating like tiny stars inside his body. It was the result of his continuous training.
