Living In Another World With A Farm

Chapter 3: Waking Up

Zhao Hai slowly opened his eyes. Now, he understood what had happened. Adam’s memories had completely combined with his memories, making Zhao Hai truly understand that he had really transmigrated. Moreover, it was the most commonly seen soul transmigration – possession.

As an otaku, if he did not know what transmigration was, he could not be considered a complete otaku. However, Zhao Hai had never thought that he would transmigrate, and moreover, possess such an unlucky person.

From Adam’s memories, Zhao Hai already knew what was going on. However, when Adam fainted, he had not come out of the capital. Zhao Hai did not know where he was now, but he knew that he was no longer in the home in the capital of the Aksu Empire. Because when he woke up last time, he looked around and knew that it was not the home in his memories.

The moment Zhao Hai opened his eyes, he felt someone beside him. He turned around and saw that the old man he had seen when he first woke up was standing beside him. Although the old man had a serious expression, his eyes were filled with concern.

Unlike the first time he woke up, Zhao Hai now recognized this old man. He was the old butler of the Buda family, Grimm Buda. Grimm was originally not a part of Buda, but he was given the surname by Adam’s great-grandfather. He had been loyal to the Buda family and was the most trusted person in the family.

However, Adam did not get along well with Grimm. In the past, Adam was a playboy, while Grimm was a serious person who always controlled him and told him that this was not allowed and that was not allowed. Therefore, Adam hated Grimm very much. However, because Grimm’s seniority was too high, not to mention him, even his father did not dare to be rude to him, so he could only endure it.

The reborn Zhao Hai was naturally not as brainless as the previous Adam. He had read countless transmigration novels and had the thoughts of an adult. His life had always been very bumpy, so it was natural for him to be much more sensible than the pampered Adam. Of course, he also knew how important Grimm was to him. With such an old butler, he could leave everything to him.

Moreover, from Adam’s memories, he knew that this old butler was even stronger than his father. In this world, strength represented hope of survival.

With his long-term otaku life and Adam’s memories, Zhao Hai did not have much resistance to transmigration. Similarly, he did not have much expectations. It was just a change in the living environment. There were only two things that made him unhappy. Firstly, there was no computer here. He could not go online anymore. Taking the internet away from an otaku was a punishment worse than death. Secondly, he had drunk the Void Water. He could not learn battle aura and magic anymore. This destroyed Zhao Hai’s dream of conquering the world.

Zhao Hai did not realize that he had already assimilated Adam’s memories. The reason why he was not flustered was because he was familiar with the continent. From the two points that he was unhappy with, it could be seen that the first point was related to him from Earth, and the second was related to the Ark Continent.

However, Zhao Hai thought it through. Although he was unhappy, there was nothing to say since he was already here. Since he was already here, he might as well settle down. He would be Adam Buda from now on.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. It was not strange that he could accept Adam’s identity so easily. In his previous life, he had no family left, and because he spent most of the time in his home, he didn’t have many friends. It could be said that he had nothing tying him to Earth. Now that he was here, it was just a change of environment. There was nothing to worry about . Moreover, there were also a few people who cared for him now.

At this moment, Grimm also noticed that Zhao Hai was awake. He quickly walked to the bed and said to Zhao Hai, “Young Master, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell? Does your head still hurt?”

Zhao Hai had not heard such words of concern for a long time. Now that he heard them, he could not help but feel warm. He felt that his body was fine. He quickly sat up and shook his head at Grimm. “I’m fine. Grandpa Grimm, where are we?”

Grimm was clearly stunned. In the past, Adam would not be so polite. He was not used to this sudden politeness, but he immediately said, “Young Master, we have arrived at the fief.”

Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment and immediately understood. He nodded and said, “It’s the Black Soil Wilderness?”

Grimm was surprised by Zhao Hai’s calmness, but he still nodded and said, “Yes, this is the Black Soil Wilderness.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Where are we now? What’s the situation here? How many people are there? How much territory do we have?”

In Adam’s memory, he only had a little memory of this place. This place was next to the Carrion Swamp, and there was no fertile land here. He did not know anything else, which was why Zhao Hai asked. No matter what, he was already Adam and would live in this Black Soil Wilderness in the future. He had to know about the situation here.

Grimm stared blankly at Adam. If not for the fact that Adam had been under his nose the entire time, he would have thought that Adam had been swapped. The person in front of him was definitely not the Adam he knew.

‘Could it really be that setbacks make people grow?’ Although Grimm was puzzled, he did not doubt Adam’s identity. He could only treat Adam’s current performance as him maturing.

However, he was very happy with this change. He quickly said, “Young Master, we are in the city lord’s residence of the fief. The residence is on the iron mountain in the Black Soil Wilderness. This iron mountain was abandoned by the dwarves. There is some land on it that can be cultivated. Young Master, please punish me. I made the decision to sell everything in our previous territory and buy a large number of resources and a hundred slaves. Now, we only have more than a hundred gold coins left. The only people who came here are my wife, my granddaughter, Wood, and Rock. The remaining are the hundred slaves. The others have already left.”

Zhao Hai nodded and analyzed the current situation. They had arrived at a land of death, but there was a city lord’s residence here that could be lived in. They could even plant some vegetation on the mountain. There were a hundred slaves and five people who could be trusted. They were also the closest people to him.

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Grandpa Grimm, you did the right thing. In such a place, gold coins are useless. Only supplies can support us for a while. Alright, I am fine now. Grandpa Grimm, you should go and see how much land can be cultivated in this iron mountain and what is suitable to plant here. After all, we still have to eat.”

Grimm nodded. “Alright, Young Master, please rest first. I’ll get Meg to serve you later.”

When Grimm mentioned Meg, Zhao Hai immediately thought of the petite girl with delicate looks and green hair. She was Grimm’s granddaughter.

However, Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. In the past, Adam had wanted to molest Meg, but Meg was a level-six mage. Moreover, she looked weak on the outside but was resolute. Although she did not dare to do anything to him, as long as Adam wanted to do anything to her, she would threaten to commit suicide, making Adam not dare to do anything to her.

At the thought of this, Zhao Hai could not help but curse. He had to bear the consequences of Adam’s actions in the past. In this situation, it would be awkward to see Meg, so he immediately said, “No need, Grandpa Grimm. I want to rest for a while. Don’t let them disturb me. Just call me when it’s time for dinner.”

Grimm bowed and said, “Okay, I will take my leave.” With that, he walked out of Zhao Hai’s room.

Zhao Hai sighed in his heart and slowly walked down from the bed. Although he remembered that he had been lying in bed for a long time, he did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he felt like he had endless strength. He stretched his body and walked to the window. He gently pushed open the window and looked out.

The first thing he saw was a castle-like building. He lived on the top floor and could see everything outside clearly. This was a Western-style castle. In front, he could see a small square and walls that surrounded the castle. Outside the castle was boundless black soil. The land was as black as used oil, giving off a lifeless feeling.

In the square of the castle, there was a large pile of things. Zhao Hai looked carefully and saw that they seemed to be materials for daily use. There was a large group of people working there.

There were both men and women. They were wearing shabby clothes. The difference was that there was a brand imprinted on the men’s forehead. It was too far to see clearly, but Zhao Hai knew that it must be the mark of the Buda family, which meant that these people were slaves of the Buda family.

He looked to the sides and saw a desolate mountain. There were some trees growing crookedly on the mountain. These trees did not grow well. They looked like they were seriously sick. Other than these trees, there were only weeds. These weeds were not long and looked similarly sick.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the castle that now belonged to him. This castle was not small. It would not be a problem for thousands of people to live in it. However, it seemed like no one had lived in it for a long time. There was some moss on the walls and some grass growing out of the cracks in the rocks. It was a dilapidated scene. Looking at the paper on the window, it was obvious that it had been freshly pasted. The other rooms did not even have window paper.

Zhao Hai could not help but smile bitterly. He clearly remembered that the Buda family used glass in their previous residence, but here, they had to use primitive window paper. The difference was really big.

However, Zhao Hai felt a sense of pride. No matter what, all the land he could see was his. No matter what others said, he did not believe that the black soil could not produce crops. He had to live a good life and let those who had harmed him see it. This could be considered a form of compensation for Adam’s body.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind…
