God Level Farmer In Another World

Chapter 144: The Birth of a Elite-Level Hunter

Caretakers of the courtyard could be described politely as "guardians," but in harsher terms, they were prisoners, bound to this small courtyard for life.

To them, the courtyard was nothing more than a shackle.

Who would willingly live a dull life in chains?

However, the contract between the old beggar and Alexander was already sealed. Breaking the initial promise would sever the lineage of the old beggar's descendants and disciples.

Alexander, having already dug a deep pit, responded calmly:

"Alright."

The day's workload was heavy. After burying over a thousand corpses of demonic beasts in the ground, it was already nearing dusk.

In the courtyard, the vegetable garden had grown densely packed extraordinary plants. These plants glowed faintly, radiating a mesmerizing brilliance.

If it weren't for the demonic beast corpses scattered around, the courtyard might have resembled a scene straight out of a Hayao Miyazaki anime—breathtakingly beautiful.

"Why are they all C-rank fruits? Only three B-rank ones?"

Alexander was dissatisfied with the quality of the super fruits.

Though the super fruit tree had produced over a hundred fruits, the quantity wasn't the issue.

C-rank combat awakeners no longer held much value for Alexander. His standards had risen, and they no longer impressed him.

He reasoned that even the Moon Worship Sect likely had hundreds of C-rank disciples.

"Forget it. Expanding the Mercenary Guild into other cities will still require these foundational hunters. It's time to accelerate the promotion of the guild."

The Solar Ladder vines had also produced numerous "zombie talent" roses during this cultivation cycle.

For low-ranking hunters, the available resources were more than sufficient.

Alexander took out his phone and sent a text message to Rosie, instructing her to intensify efforts to promote the Mercenary Guild, not just in the Four Seas City but also in cities beyond the province.

However, under no circumstances was the Mercenary Guild to expand into the imperial capital.

In these chaotic times, the imperial capital had the strictest law and order. It wasn't yet time to extend their reach there.

That time, however, was fast approaching.

A deadly clash between the Mercenary Guild and the Moon Worship Sect was inevitable. The conflict between these two extraordinary forces would undoubtedly cause a massive upheaval.

If the Mercenary Guild emerged victorious, they would gain abundant resources and draw the attention of the state.

By then, Alexander would no longer need to hide from the authorities.

This confidence stemmed from his belief in his own strength.

Alexander was certain he could secure a spot among the world's top awakeners.

The ability of strong individuals to sit peacefully at the same table didn't reflect their politeness; rather, it was because they all had the power to flip the table at any moment, making everyone act with restraint.

Alexander still had a few unpurified Solar Ladder flowers in his possession.

If he wished, he could unleash a catastrophe on par with the demonic beast invasion—a zombie apocalypse—whenever he chose.

Alexander decided to bury the last few demonic beast corpses in the vegetable garden.

"Hmm? Is this a demonic beast or a human?"

Alexander examined a peculiar demonic beast's corpse.

This corpse looked remarkably human, save for a pair of wings.

Typically, only pretenders could disguise themselves as humans, but this creature had little distinction from humans even in life.

With a loose black robe, it could easily gain the pretender trait.

Most importantly, though dead, this creature retained an exceptionally strong spiritual aura.

According to human classifications, it possessed an eighth-grade spiritual essence even in death.

"What a pity. If you were an A-rank creature instead of F-rank, you might have been a true disaster."

Alexander pondered what kind of surprises this creature might bring him.

As he dug the soil, a sudden thought took root in his mind, growing increasingly intense.

Alexander set the hoe aside and attempted something unprecedented: splitting a fragment of his soul to inject into the demonic beast's corpse.

A transparent, spiritual force flowed from Alexander and entered the corpse.

In that instant, Alexander felt his spiritual essence drain, followed by a wave of intense dizziness.

He realized he had just sacrificed 200 years of his lifespan.

Once the spiritual force entered the corpse, the demonic beast's eyes slowly opened—a pair of vertical pupils gleamed ominously.

The demonic beast stood up and knelt before Alexander.

"Master," it said, its tone as emotionless as a machine.

The creature retained all its memories and abilities from life, but its thoughts had completely transformed. All it knew was that the young man before it was its master.

Exhausted, Alexander collapsed into a reclining chair, his face pale.

Yet a genuine smile spread across his face.

On a whim, Alexander had gained mastery over yet another ability from the super fruits.

"In the world of pirates, we never saw Big Mom use the Soul-Soul Fruit to turn creatures into homunculi.

Could it be because the target here is a demonic beast?"

Alexander murmured to himself:

"Since I've mastered this power, next time I could try turning thunderclouds into homunculi. That would truly be divine power."

The old beggar's eyes were filled with shock.

The guild master had the ability to resurrect the dead!

Cultivating extraordinary plants, wielding transcendent flame power, and now resurrecting corpses?

What kind of talent did he possess?

Could he be one of those rare triple-talent awakeners?

And each of the three abilities Alexander had demonstrated—weren't they all S-rank powers?

With a flick of his wrist, Alexander revealed Blue Silver Grass.

"Consume it."

Alexander handed the Blue Silver Grass to the demonic beast.

The demonic beast accepted it reverently and swallowed it without hesitation.

Seeing the perfect integration between the Blue Silver Grass and the demonic beast, Alexander's smile grew even wider.

He now had an eighth-grade spiritual essence fighter with S-rank talents—a top-tier enforcer!

His lips curled into a smirk:

"An elite-level hunter… looks like I've got one already."

South Sea Blue Lake Orphanage

The South Sea Blue Lake Orphanage was a welfare institution that took in orphans under the age of twelve.

This orphanage only supported children until they turned twelve, after which they were expected to leave and fend for themselves.

In this era, few families adopted orphans, and the adoption process was extremely cumbersome.

Brian was one of the children living there, and tomorrow he would turn twelve.

Unlike the other children, who would cry and throw tantrums as their departure day approached, Brian was calm—almost excited.

The reason was a big brother he had met a month ago. That big brother was incredibly strong, capable of smashing a wall with a single slap.

The big brother's name was Hyun, and he had told Brian he was a rare talent and offered to take him as his disciple.

"Tomorrow, Brother Hyun will take me away. He even said he'd buy me ice cream."

Brian smiled dreamily, imagining his future life.

Wandering the world, upholding justice, and living freely under his brother's guidance.

"Brian, come quick! The nun from St. Susia's Cathedral is handing out candy again!"

A chubby little boy burst into the dormitory, calling out to Brian in a hurry.

Brian froze for a moment, glancing at the darkening sky outside. He asked suspiciously:

"It's already night. Why would the nun come at this hour?"

The nun's name was Diana, and for the past month, she had frequently visited the orphanage to distribute candy to the children.

The luckier ones were taken back to the cathedral, where they could secure jobs in the future.

"Why do you care? There's candy to eat!

And who knows, maybe she'll adopt me today!

Brian, don't dawdle! I'm only calling you because I think of you as a good brother!

If we're late, I won't get any candy!"

Hearing this, Brian didn't hesitate any longer. He followed the little boy, running outside together.
