Chapter 15: Farm Field
With unsteady steps Theodore dragged his feet to step into the bamboo forest, fortunately he didn't have to walk far to reach the small river that flowed in this sacred dimension.
Theodore could see that the river had very clear water, without hesitation he cupped his hands to draw water from the river.
When Theodore gulped down the river water from his hands, he felt his throat filled with fresh and cold water.
Theodore couldn't help but close his eyes and savor how the freshwater spread through his body.
Slowly Theodore felt that his mind was calmer than before and the tiredness in his body began to fade away.
Instantly Theodore opened his eyes while glaring in disbelief.
"This river water is indeed miraculous!" Theodore turned his head towards the small river in front of him and stared at it in amazement.
"System! This river is really great!" Theodore continued unable to keep quiet, he immediately praised his system.
[Of course. This river is a form of the System's generosity to the Host]
Theodore could hear the system's voice sounding a little arrogant at the moment, but he didn't say anything because he was still happy with the surprising fact of the magical river.
"Will my plants grow faster if I water them with this river water?" asked Theodore curiously.
Considering how magical this river water was Theodore began to wonder if the water would affect his plants.
[For that matter, the system is still not sure. The host can find out when he tries it directly]
Theodore nodded his head feeling that the explanation the system gave him made sense.
"Then indeed the only way is to try it directly. But I can't do that right now," Theodore replied lethargically as he remembered that he still had to clean up the weeds.
[Hopefully your land will be free of weeds soon, Host!]
After saying that, the system went silent and didn't say anything to Theodore.
Annoyed, Theodore returned to the field he was working on and began to continue his work to clear the weeds.
It took Theodore about 6 hours to finish weeding the entire land that he was going to use for farming.
And it took Theodore 3 times to drink a full glass of magic water from the river. Remembering that he still had an appointment, Theodore decided to leave the sacred dimension.
This meant that three hours had passed since Theodore entered the sacred dimension earlier.
Theodore quickly glanced at the wall clock in his room and was relieved when he still had time to get ready and go to where his friends were gathering tonight.
. . .
This time their meeting place was very different from before, Theodore realized that Luke decided to gather at the place that Shawn often went to.
Of the four of them, Shawn was the closest to the nightlife, even from the last Theodore heard, Shawn was involved with the underworld mafia.
Theodore frowned as he stepped into the elite nightclub that was his destination tonight.
"That bastard Luke sure knows how to lure Shawn into a gathering," Theodore muttered as he shook his head.
In one glance Theodore could see that the dance floor was already full of people dancing wildly.
Even Theodore would not be surprised to see many of them making out there.
Not too interested in something like that Theodore immediately stepped his feet to the second floor of this elite nightclub.
Because that was where their group would usually gather, Theodore was very familiar with this place.
"The others are waiting for you, young master." One of the waiters there immediately directed Theodore to the place where his friends were gathered.
It was one of the signs that Theodore had come here with his friends so often that the workers here knew them.
"Have they gathered?" asked Theodore.
"Yes, they are, young master."
Theodore was silent and followed the servant's steps. They finally stopped at one of the rooms and the servant opened the door for Theodore.
"Thank you," Theodore said as he waved his hand to shoo the servant away.
Upon entering the room Theodore could see that his three friends were already there, he thought he would be the second to arrive.
It turned out that they came earlier, "It's only natural that they want to have fun tonight," Theodore thought.
"What took you so long! You're usually the most excited to come to this place," Nicholas said, mocking Theodore.
"He's as good as ever, Nick." Luke grinned and happily added to Theodore's taunts.
Theodore just rolled his eyes, reluctant to respond to his friends' taunts.
"Hey, did you make us gather in this place on purpose?" This time it was Shawn who spoke to Theodore.
"You're right, I have something to say to you. So Luke arranged for us to meet," Theodore replied, not hiding anything from Shawn.
Theodore slowly sat down on the sofa that was wrapped around the long table in the centre of the room.
Then, Theodore glanced at Shawn who was currently flanked by two beautiful women beside him.
Actually, Theodore was still not used to Shawn's bad boy behaviour because he wanted to see how his innocent face really did not depict his asshole behaviour.
If Theodore could be honest if asked who was the most asshole among them based on looks, then he would answer that person was Luke or Nicholas.
In reality, Luke is just a loudmouthed kid who is good at talking, while Nicholas is a sports maniac.
The innocent-looking Shawn was the most dangerous among them and Theodore wasn't too close to him if he was honest.
Hearing how Theodore spoke to Shawn, an evil grin could be seen on his sweet face.
Nicholas and Luke, who saw that Shawn was not his usual self, immediately understood that they should get out of there and let Theodore have a one-on-one talk with Shawn.
"You guys are so bored tonight. Nick, come with me on the prowl!" Luke quickly asked Nicholas to leave the room.
"Too bad you two have no intention of partying tonight." Nicholas got up from his position and quickly followed Luke out of the room.
Shawn shooed the women away, sensing that what Theodore was about to say was not unusual this time.
"There's no one here anymore. So what help do you need?" Shawn gave Theodore a probing look.
"I need a lot of sharp weapons, can you provide them for me?" Theodore no longer hesitated.
"Like swords or daggers?" Shawn frowned slightly.
Though Shawn thought Theodore wanted to use drugs or buy him a bunch of guns, he was a little disappointed at the moment.
"Yes, I need something like that and in large quantities," Theodore replied, nodding his head.
"I was expecting you to need something more extreme than this," Shawn replied, shrugging his shoulders dismissively.
"Is my request not that extreme? Then it would be easy for you to find it for me, right?" Theodore's feelings quickly changed when he heard Shawn's reply.
Although Theodore himself should be offended by Shawn's words or even grateful because then his request would not be impossible.
