107 Chapter 107: Farm Upgrade
“Oh, right! Your father is that kind uncle. If you have money then that’s good. I have a way to make you stronger, do you want to become a Tattoo Warrior?”
Rezen has eleven Tattoo Warriors under him. Ordering one of them to turn a person into a Tattoo Warrior is not hard
Rezen just thought of another money-making scheme. Could he open a ‘Tattoo Shop’ for the people that wants to become Tattoo Warriors?
After all, there are many people with no talent but if they can become Tattoo Warriors, although they can’t increase their strength on their own, they would still obtain stronger power
“Tattoo Warrior? What’s that?” Maze was puzzled. Since he was still young and Tattoo Warriors are rarely seen, he obviously doesn’t know that path
“No, Young Master, you can’t become a Tattoo Warrior. That path gives people great power but it has strong side effects that can lead to death! Only those that are at the 7th rank can be safe from the side effects!”
“If that’s the case then I only need to reach the 7th rank, right? That’s my goal!”
“The 7th rank… that’s not something that can be achieved easily!”
“Uncle Rem, my goal has always been to become the strongest mage! Even if it’s hard, I have to reach that rank!”
“Young Master please listen to me! Many Tattoo Warriors died because of the side effects!”
Rezen doesn’t really like watching people arguing with each other. If he does then he should have just called his parents that are still traveling the world right now for their ‘retirement vacation’
Still, this was better than letting Maze irritate him to death and Rezen just focused on cooking
When he was done cooking simple fried pork meat, he served them to his guests that are still arguing with each other
‘Tsk, tsk, here I am, a hospitable host yet they are actually arguing in another person’s home. How mannerless’ Rezen thought before he cleared his throat
“Ehem, if it’s the side effects you are worried about, don’t worry, I have a way to fix it. If you really want to become a Tattoo Warrior, you can pay me to turn you into one. As for removing the side effects, it would be a regular thing. Whenever you think the side effects react to a certain point, you can come here and after paying the ‘maintenance fee’, I could clear you of the side effects”
Rezen just turned Maze into a ‘car’ that would need his regular maintenance and that would give him a steady income
“Y-you can do that?” Rem asked in doubt and Rezen nodded his head
One recovery pill would do the trick since that is what Rezen always use
He literally already has hundreds of thousands of them, using one from time to time to remove the path’s side effects wouldn’t hurt
“Yeah, so if you’re interested, I’ll visit you tomorrow” Rezen said since he also plan on going to the city again

Nighttime
After Rezen cooked several dishes, he took a shower before coming out of his Mushroom Home
He could finally upgrade his farm!
Without wasting any more time, Rezen waved his hand and the ten corpses of Twighlight Beast’s members appeared
“System, absorb the quest materials and upgrade the farm!”
[Ding! Detecting corpses of Twighlight Beast members x10!]
[Ding! Advancement Mission completed!]
[Ding! Initiating Farm’s upgrade!]
A mysterious and marvelous power suddenly descended on Rezen’s farm. This mysterious power feels similar to the power that envelops this place when he designated it as his farm and also when he first upgraded his farm
However, this descending power also gave off a superior aura as it seeps into the farm’s soil
Rezen can feel the ground below him shaking as the mysterious power transformed his farm into another level
The upgrade happened in a short duration and after it, the farm still looks the same but Rezen knew that wasn’t the case
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for upgrading the farm. The farm can now grow Spirit Plants at Quality 4]
“Success!” Rezen exclaimed happily. With this, it’s only a matter of time before he and his subordinates reach the 4th rank
As long as he has his supply of Spirit Plants and he obtained a Mysterious Peach or Banana in the 4th grade, his power would increase one more!
After upgrading his farm, it is finally time for a celebration and Rezen called his subordinates and ordered them to return
Those subordinates of his live simple lives. Half of them would typically stay in the Rising Sage Academy to study while the other half from day to night would hunt magic beasts
However, that would soon change. Since the farm is upgraded, Rezen can have his subordinates focus on studying the Tattoo Warrior path and reach the peak of 4th rank

The next day
As soon as Rezen woke up, he washed up a bit before taking a visit to a certain tree on his farm
This tree wasn’t that tall and is only a few meters in height. It gave off a slightly sweet scent and despite it looking like a normal true, its aura was far from normal
Rezen can sense the countless types of power that this tree possesses. It was a bit similar to mystic gems but instead of only containing one kind of power, this tree seems to hold all and every type
This tree was precisely the Mysterious Peach Tree. Even without sacrificing some corpse or mana stones for lottery tickets, this tree regularly supplies Rezen with a mysterious peach
It’s just that, the number of fruits is completely random. This day, the tree could bear one fruit but give ten tomorrow
There’s no telling how many mysterious peaches Rezen could gain from it every day
“Wow, lucky, it actually bore 50 fruits today! This is the most number of fruits it gave me in a day!” Rezen said happily as he plucked off the peaches one by one while checking their quality
To Rezen’s surprise, the peach tree actually has one fruit at quality 4! This means that this peach after consumption would teach Rezen a spell at the 4th fusion rank!
This is also the highest quality of peach he had received!
“Hehehehe…” Rezen can’t help but laugh happily when his phone suddenly rang
He took it out of his pocket and saw Maze’s number on it as they exchanged numbers yesterday
“Hello?” Rezen said after answering the call
“Big brother, when will you visit me? I already informed my father and he said as long as you can prove that you can remove the side effects, he would be paying you with 150,000 mana stones!”
For now, Rezen planned on turning Maze into a 3rd rank Tattoo Warrior at max and receiving 150,000 mana stones for that is not had considering that mages at that level would spend years earning that much money
However, Rezen has some plans. In the past, he was too lazy to compute since math is not something that he is very good at
But now, since just upgrading the farm to level 4 already costs 50 million mana stones, Rezen can only imagine how ridiculously expensive it is to upgrade it again
Rezen has to start raising the prices of his goods that in other people’s eyes is almost the same as giving them out for free!
“Alright, alright, I got it. I’ll go there soon” Rezen replied before directly hanging up the call
There is still something that he should do and that is of course eating the quality 4 mysterious peach!
With a grin, Rezen hold the peach in his hand and he excitedly bit on it. That sweet fruity heavenly taste of the peach covered his taste buds
This peach is simply divine. It was tastier than the other mysterious peaches that Rezen had eaten before
His whole body trembled as it felt like he was floating in the sky while sleeping on the clouds when…
“A-argghh!!!” Rezen cried out from pain. His mind was suddenly assaulted with waves and waves of information
There was so much information that Rezen’s head literally hurts as if it would explode any moment from now
Rezen sweated heavily and he was forced to kneel down on the ground. He can feel his clothes sticking on his body because of the excessive amount of sweat he released
“Huff… huff…”
Fortunately, the pain didn’t last long since the information’s rate of transmission was fast
“Damn… that was painful but… totally worth it! I was lucky this time, that mysterious peach gave me a sun-type spell! With this, I don’t have to condense another mystic gem from scratch!”
After all, to have a 4th fusion rank mystic gem, Rezen would need two 3rd fusion rank gems. To have that 3rd fusion rank gem, Rezen has to fuse two sets of 2nd fusion rank gems and so on
