《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 11. Farming -Part 1
Advertisement
By the time training was done, it was already 9 A.M. The men all went to their assigned posts.
Landon decided to take Momo, Lucy and Trey to the farmlands in the lower areas.
Looking at the farms, he could roughly estimate that there were at least 300 farms.The whole place looked like one of those industrial plantations on earth.
There were three farmers on the land. When they saw Landon coming over, they rushed over to meet him halfway.
"Good day my lord", they replied with a hint of fear in their voices
"Good day to you all....I wonder if you guys can tell me about the land here? I was hoping that I might be of assistance to you all." Landon said while smiling.
"My lord, may we ask who you are?", asked an elderly man.
Landon could see that this man was like the leader of the pack. Everyone sort of hid behind him while talking.
"I am the new King of Baymard, King Landon.This is my personal knight Trey, my friend Lucy and I'm guessing you all know little Momo here.....Please be at ease. I only wish to help."
The farmers looked at Landon curiously . This was the first time they had ever seen or heard of a king who wanted to aid in farming.
"May I know your names as well?" Landon asked
"Your Highness. My name is Pat, this is Lyore and this is Waldo. We are farmers here in Baymard." said Pat as he introduced everyone.
Pat was a strong 42 year old man with rich black hair and and light green eyes. On the other hand, 37 year old Lyore had blond hair with light brown eyes. And 36 year old Waldo had ink black hair with dark brown eyes.

"Your highness, we have been farming in this land for more than 20 years now. The land is very barren. The growth of our crops are stunted and our yields are sparse." said Pat
Searching through his mind, he knew he had to determine the soil type in order to fix the problem.
"Hmm...dont worry. By tommorrow I will give you the solution to the problem. Meet me here, same time tommorrow morning." Landon replied
"Yes, Your highness"
Although they agreed, they really didn't believe that he had a solution. Afterall, they had been farming all their lives while he had been living in luxury.
Their fathers farmed on this land and now they did too. Since they could remember, the land had always been barren.
They chose to keep farming because they genuinely loved everything about it.
It felt like an accomplishment seeing something they planted sprouting out of the ground. Although the yields weren't high, they felt joy in doing their profession.
So when his highness said that he would give them a solution, they were taken aback and of course had doubts about this so called 'solution'.
They decided to wait and see.
Landon walked away from the men, poured some water onto the soil and waited. He observed that the water drained quickly. This was a good sign.
He then grabbed a handful of soil and softly compressed it in his fist. The soil felt smooth and could hold it's shape for a short period of time. 'So far so good', he thought.
Landon then took 3 handfuls of top soil from the ground and went back to the castle.
Once in the castle Landon filled a white jade wine basin with water and poured the soil into it. He then stirred it vigorously, until all clumps of soil had dissolved. He then decided to place the basin by the window overnight.

Infact it would have been best to use a transparent glass jar. But too bad... glass hadn't been invented yet.
He decided that in the future, he would teach the farmers and villager's everything he knew about farming. 'Knowledge is power', he thought.
The more people that knew the right ways to farm, the better the crop yields in Baymard.
"System, can you give me a copy of the farming book from my starter pack?"
"Answering host. No. If host wants a copy, host should write it out his self". The system replied.
"Aren't you suppose to be an all powerful and mighty Technology System?" Landon grumbled.
"It is exactly because the system is all powerful and mighty that your request was rejected. The system is not a photocopying machine host."
Landon was speechless. 'What a shameless system', he thought.
"So how can you help me then?"
"Host can use the system's space time capsule's. Once host's eats the capsule, host will be transported into the system's space. 1 hour in the outside world is equivalent to 5 days in the system's space." the system emotionlessly replied
Landon was excited. With this he could write down the entire book in hours.
"System, I want to use the space time capsule", he said excitedly.
"Host does not have enough experience, technology or bonus points to use the space time capsule"
Landon didnt know whether to laugh or cry
"Then why did you tell me about the capsule?" Landon asked almost wishing he could kill the stupid system
"The system thought it was the appropriate time to tell the host"
Landon massaged the temple's on his forehead trying for calm down.
"How much time is contained in 1 capsule? and how many points do I need before I can use the capsule?"
"Answering Host. 1 capsule is equivalent to 1 hour in the real world. For host to buy a space capsule, host needs any of these points: 10 Technology points, 5 Experience points or 2 Bonus points" The system replied
"Since I dont have any at the moment, what do I do?"
"The system suggests that the host invent's something, so as to get the bonus points"
Landon's eyes lit up.
'That's it...I'll make a blackboard', he thought
-THE NEXT DAY-
After training, he went to his bedside window and observed the contents in the basin.
He took a spoon and carefully checked if the soil had any layers.
At the very bottom was sand, the middle layer had silt and the top layer had clay.
This was loamy soil.
It was the perfect soil for agriculture. It was a mixture of sand, silt and clay. If the problem wasn't with the soil itself, then it there could only be one reason
-Lack of nutrients and organic matter-

The Skywalker Chronicles
Luke Skywalker wakes up nude in a new world after going to bed as usual. Adventure with him as he readily abandons his previous life and discovers all the wonders of this new world. This is my first attempt at writing that I actually posted anywhere. English is my first language but I pretty much suck at it. This novel will have sexual content but as someone who can’t stand reading those grocery store romance novels I will likely do as Robert Jorden and just say “they did it” and end it with a fade out scene. I lied, there will now be grocery store romance novels levels of sex scenes. I will however mark those chapters with “Eros”. Eros as in one of the Greek gods of love making. Feel free to skip those chapters and pretend that it was a fade out sex scene. And finally, this is not a Star Wars Fan Fiction. The origin of the MC’s name will be explained as the story progresses. Skywalker is just such an awesome name I couldn’t help it. Anyways, we all know Star Gate comes in first followed by Star Track and then Star Wars. I give no promises on release dates or time.

Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. Book 1 is complete. Book 2 is complete and coming out M-W-F. The complete book 2 is available on Patreon
