His eyes lit up.
It's automated!
Even though he hadn't farmed before, Kim Haru had seen enough videos to understand how grueling the process could be.
The moment he picked up the hoe, he had already mentally prepared himself.
First, he would have to clear the land—digging the soil thoroughly, turning it over carefully, removing all the grass roots and stones, and smashing any large clumps of soil.
Just this one step alone is enough to exhaust anyone.
Even experienced farmers often end up with aching backs, let alone someone like him who had never done heavy labor before.
By the time you finished tilling the soil, you probably wouldn't even know if your back was still intact.
Seeing that this hoe has the function to automatically took care of the hardest step of farming, Kim Haru couldn't help but breathe a huge sigh of relief.
He inspected the patch of land and found that both the depth and the texture of the soil were perfect.
There wasn't a single grass root in sight.
With the toughest part made this easy, Kim Haru decided not to just plant a little bit to test things out—he was going to plant all the seeds from the newbie's gift pack.
He counted the seeds: there were thirty seeds in total.
Kim Haru who was born and raised in the city couldn't tell what kind of seeds they were, but he could at least categorize them by appearance.
The seeds were quickly divided into three groups, with exactly ten seeds in each.
Thankfully, when Kim Haru placed the sorted seeds back into the backpack, the system automatically identified the seed types and labeled them with names.
[ Ding! Soybean Seeds x 10 ]
[ Ding! Cabbage Seeds x 10 ]
[ Ding! Potato Seeds x 10 ]
Kim Haru examined them carefully and barely recognized the soybeans—they looked pretty similar to the roasted soybeans he'd bought from the supermarket.
But as for the potato seeds, hadn't he always heard that potatoes could just sprout from potato chunks?
He had no idea there were actual seeds.
Clearly, he was quite ignorant about farming.
For someone like Kim Haru, who had little contact with crops, it was no surprise he didn't know about potato seeds.
In reality, potatoes are often grown from tubers rather than seeds, as potatoes grown from seeds aren't usually as good as those grown from tubers.
But of course, the farming system's seeds were no ordinary seeds.
Kim Haru used his foot to measure the ground, planning to dig three rows, each with ten holes.
Each row would have a different type of seed, just enough to plant all thirty seeds.
Soon enough, after thirty swings of the hoe, the neatly and perfectly tilled land was ready.
"Phew, exactly the same—so satisfying!"
Kim Haru leaned on the hoe, admiring his work with immense satisfaction.
The automated hoe truly lived up to its name.
Each plot of land was identical, with perfectly straight lines—horizontal was horizontal, vertical was vertical, and even the raised mounds of each plot had the exact same curve.
