Walking to the backyard of the house, a serene garden appeared in Zayne's vision. All the plants appeared to be glowing in a soft dew.

Zayne used the APPRAISAL on all the plants as he walked around the garden.

====================

|> GODSPEED POTATOES

|> RADISH OF WISDOM

• DESCRIPTION: A Radish That Boosts Your INT.

====================

Compared to the weapons, these veggies were the real cheat, as they could be consumed by anyone but the weapons could only be used by the master, that was, Zayne.

Although Zayne could break the contract and give it the someone else, there was no guarantee what they could do with that weapon. And Zayne would have no control over it as he was no longer the master.

'With these veggies, I can raise an army of superheroes,' A strange thought popped up in Zayne's mind as he couldn't help but dream of it happening in the future.

"Let's collect the ripe ones first," Zayne reminded himself and started placing the ripe veggies in the ITEM BOX.

After finishing, Zayne walked back into the house and came out with an ordinary-looking watering can, but it was anything but ordinary.

This was INFINITE WATERING CAN, that contained an infinite spring of water, and not just any water but Holy Water. It was the most suitable for watering magical plants, as it could even revive dying plants. Drinking this water could also recover fatigue and increase MP.

Quickly but carefully, Zayne watered all the plants in the backyard garden, after which he decided to go back to his world.

"RUSTLE!"

But before he could take more than a single step, a rustling sound caught his attention.

He looked towards the source and found a disgusting monster, with a black liquid body. It had dozens of eyes that watched Zayne with a preying gaze.

Coming near the fence, a part of the monster's body morphed into a long rope aiming towards Zayne.

"BANG!"

Unfortunately, an invisible wall just before the fence blocked its attack. Despite its struggle, the invisible thwarted all of its attempts.

Zayne looked at the monstrous slime-like entity and used APPRAISAL.

====================

|> HELL SLIME

• LEVEL: 200

• MP: 5,000

• ATK: 1,000

• DEF: 5,000

• DEX: 100

• INT: 100

• LUCK: 100

====================

After checking out the monster's stats, Zayne took out the FORMLESS BOW. It was an invisible bow that created arrows on its own.

Zayne aimed at the slime and shot an invisible arrow. The arrow silently struck the slime, causing any vibrations in the air. But as soon as it struck the slime, a part of its body disappeared.

====================

• You Have Learned The SKILL 'ARCHERY LV.1'.

====================

Looking at the slime, which was starting to regenerate its lost body part, Zayne shot a couple of more arrows. Within moments, the slime was destroyed, leaving behind a few items.

====================

• Your level Has Increased.

====================

Zayne dismissed the notification and checked the items, which were only two.

====================

|> MAGIC STONE (C)

|> SLIME ESSENCE

====================

Zayne didn't bother picking them up, instead, he directly sold them for money.

The stone fetched him $2,000 while the essence was quite ordinary, only giving him $500.

All in all, Zayne had managed to earn himself $10,000 in just a single day.

He then assigned the extra AP that he obtained from levelling up to level 150.

After that, he returned to Earth.

In his house, Zayne entered the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for two, using the veggies from the backyard.

Why two? Well, the second person was his step-sister.

After his parent's death many years before, it was she who took care of him. It was her maternal instinct which made her adopt Zayne who went through the same situation as her.

Like Zayne, she was an orphan as well. But despite that, she grew both in wealth and power by relying on her talents. So, after Zayne lost his parent, she arrived to live with him. And it wasn't a weird thing because she was his neighbour in the first place and now, they were a family.

As the clock hit eight, a beautiful young woman, in her early twenties arrived in the kitchen. She had soft red hair, tied in a bun. She was wearing an almost transparent babydoll dress, allowing one to get a glimpse of her underwear. Looking at Zayne who was already present, she was surprised.

"Zayne? What are you doing in the kitchen? Do you need something?" The young woman asked Zayne in a curious voice, though concern was evident in her tone.

Zayne turned towards his sister and said, "No MJ. I was just preparing breakfast for us."

MJ was surprised at his reply. She said incredulously, "You. Making breakfast. The weirdest combination I have ever seen."

Zayne smiled wryly at her sarcasm, but he didn't back down. After all, he had his confidence, especially after checking the latest notification.

====================

• You Have Learned The SKILL 'COOKING LV.1'.

====================

Even if it was just at level 1, Zayne was confident that the veggies from the backyard were the real cheats. Even if a dish was made using them by the worst cook in existence, it would still take good. And Zayne was far from the aforementioned person, whoever it was.

"Taste this," Zayne said with confidence as he placed the dishes on the kitchen island. He pushed one towards MJ, trying to hide his smirk at her reaction.

MJ hesitantly picked up the spoon. Despite her past experiences with Zayne's cooking, she decided to give him one more chance.

Especially since the dish looked quite good and smelled even better.

She scooped a small amount and placed it in her mouth. As soon as the food touched her tongue, her eyes widened in shock. She quickly gulped down the food and looked towards Zayne.

"Zayne! What the heck is this food!?" But just as these words left her mouth, a warm stream of energy entered her body, releasing whatever sleepiness she had.

"Ahh~" She moaned out in comfort brought by this warm current.

Zayne, who was happily eating his breakfast, froze in shock, hearing his sister moan. He didn't dare look at her but made a vow in his heart.

'No man would be allowed to taste these veggies.'

A few moments later, MJ calmed down as the warm current faded away. Just as she was about to question Zayne, she found he was no longer in his seat, only an empty plate.

"MJ! I am getting late for my work! I will message you as soon as I reach there!" His words echoed through the house, as he left in a hurry.

Meanwhile, MJ looked at the dish in front of her, unsure of what to do.

Zayne arrived at his garage and quickly got in his car.

It was a Shelby Mustang GT500, in rapid red. As he turned the car on, the engine roared with thunder. He quickly accelerated through the gates, excitement bubbling within him.

He momentarily forgot just what happened minutes ago.
