“What did you say!” Jacob screamed, with indignation..

“I said that you will be living here. if you live here, you can build your own park faster,” said Mom.

Now that I think about it, it is quite logical.

“Great idea mom. I suppose that if I lived at my new property, I would be able to develop my park that much faster, ” said Jacob, with a pondering look on his face.

“Yes that will benefit us greatly,” said Steve.

“Excellent! Now that you both agree, we are going to help you move your stuff and your mother and I can go back to our home. Before I forget, here is the rest of the money that you earned working for us,” said Dad.

Dad gave me a bag of gold coins and helped me to unload the remainder of my things from the carriage to the inside of the house. When we were done, they said their goodbyes and drove away on the horse drawn carriage. After they were gone, Steve asked:.

“Jacob where shall we start.” “You should focus on turning the mana you got into park points. I am going to plant the seeds I got,” Jacob replied.

“Excellent idea. I will start right away,” said Steve.

Park points are a type of energy derived from mana that park crystals use to grow. A park crystal can also use other types of energy but the cost is higher than when you use park points. Park points can also be created from other energy sources than mana (though they are far less efficient and effective) and energy passively absorbed from the environment can be turned into park points as well.. Residents of the park produce excess energy that boosts the passive energy in the environment, thus plentiful residents or residents with a lot of mana can also help a park crystal develop park points..

I took my time carefully planting the seeds in strategic positions that would maximize their growth. Upon finishing my planting, I asked Steve: “How did it go?”

“It went really well,” said Steve.

“Nice! How much did you get,” asked Jacob.

“About 5000 park points, “ said Steve.

“Excellent start Steve,” Jacob exclaimed.

5000 park points may sound like a great deal of points, but it’s actually a pretty small amount. This is because: the bigger your park expands, the more energy that you need to maintain it and Steve had just entered his early growth period. I wanted to check my skills to see if there had been any growth in them due to Steve’s actions.

“Open skill list,” said Jacob.

"Jacob, how are your stats coming along," said Steve.

"Pretty good. I will show it to you," said Jacob.

"Show status to Steve," said Jacob.

After Steve saw my status screen, he said:

"They are pretty good stats."

"Thanks Steve, " said Jacob.

'What should we do now?" asked Jacob.

"Why don't we make our first park item," answered Steve.

"Marvelous plan Steve, but what should we make?" said Jacob

"Maybe we could make a well for watering the seeds that I planted," said Steve.

"Very well. Let’s do it,” said Jacob.

I quickly used basic park magic to create a big hole until I found water. Meanwhile Steve created stone around the insides of the hole and made a top to cover the well and allow one to draw its water. By the time we were finished it was already getting dark.

"I would like lake with an island in the middle of it as my home," said Steve.

"If that is what you want, I will start tomorrow, it’s getting late," said Jacob.

After that, I ate dinner and got ready for bed. I said goodnight to Steve and went to sleep.

The next morning

"Good morning Jacob," said Steve.

"Good morning Steve," said Jacob.

For breakfast I cooked some eggs with bacon. Afterwards, I got to work on the lake. I used basic park magic to dig a big lake then made an island in the middle. I formed a cave within the lake before asking Steve to fill it with water.Thanks master for the home, what is it called,”said Steve.

Next I started to water the plants and to practice basic park magic. After that, I asked Steve if he minds if I go to town to do a little shopping. He said he did not mind and I wrote a shopping list together with him.

I began walking to the nearest town, which is an hour from here.
