Interdimensional Farming in Another World



Even though Mupan was perplexed by Alex's words, he didn't let it affect him. He knew that it was bound to happen. Alex was the strongest person in the entire tribe. A person with his calibre asking to leave the tribe was natural. He has already grown beyond what the tribe could hold.

"Can I ask why?" Mupan asked.

Alex smiled and replied. "It's better if you don't."  He didn't mean it negatively and Mupan could understand that.

The things he was going to do in the next few months could escalate beyond crazy. He didn't want the stone head tribe or anyone that was related to him to be affected by his action. The consequences of his actions were his own to bear. 

"Sigh… Return safely." Mupan said before going back to his home. He had many things to think about. 

Meanwhile, Alex went back to his mana training. 

He had already created ten mana cores that spread all around his body. They were distributed in a way to maximize the energy output of each point in his body.

But his body could still hold the mana of a tier 3 warrior. So, Alex was confused about his rank among the mages.

With ten cores, he could utilise ten per cent of his mana for spell casting instantly. What is that equivalent to? To find that, Alex read some books he got his hands on through Ethan Solarion. He assumed that he could find some information in them. 

A person that just awakened, who trained to form a mana core could be called a mage. But they won't be able to use any spells which require runes. They could only do simple magic tricks by controlling mana by will. A person like that was a lot weaker than a tier 1 warrior. Basically, babies in front of warriors. 

Certainly, Alex was better than that.

An apprentice mage was the lowest rank that could cast spells among mages. They are usually in the age range of ten to twenty. They have to understand a lot of basic knowledge about spells and runes before they can cast magic.

Alex could learn knowledge about spells and runes by combining his knowledge from his previous world. So, he was comparable to an apprentice mage now. 

In truth, if Alex had turned all the mana inside him to the core, Alex would have been comparable to a master rank mage. A master mage was similar in strength to a tier 3 warrior. 

But, Alex had yet to transform all the mana inside him to cores. 

This meant Alex was at an impasse between the two ranks. He was comparable to an apprentice mage while also being weaker than a master mage. Ten cores of Alex gave him similar power to an apprentice mage. A hundred cores will allow him to be as strong as a master mage.

This also allowed Alex to see his current limits. Even after converting all the mana inside his body cores, he would still only reach the rank of a master mage. Growing above that needs careful consideration.

Usually, A mage creates a core. Condense mana inside their body, then compress it towards the core to break through to the next level. 

This changes the quality of the mana core to a higher level which in turn allows it to store more mana than the previous stage. There might be some difference between person to person if you consider the maximum amount of mana a core can store. It depends on the talent and mana sensitivity.

Some apprentice mages can have more mana than other apprentice mages. Similar was the situation for masters, grandmasters and even archmages.

When Alex learned about the method of the breakthrough of mages, he was perplexed by his situation.

If he had to use a similar method to grow stronger, he would die of old age before he can become a grandmaster mage. Improving the quality of the hundred cores inside his body was the least favourable way for him to break through.

"I should find some other way. Before that, I have to complete forming hundred mana cores. If there is a will to breakthrough, there will be a way to breakthrough." Deciding that, Alex returned to meditation.

Forming a core was not an easy task. Alex had to give his complete concentration to move the mana to a certain part of his body. After that, he needs to compress it to form a core. 

Thanks to the asynchronous energy circulation skill of the interdimensional farm, Alex didn't have much trouble moving the mana. But, he had to compress it until it becomes a core. It was not an easy feat.

One by one, Alex began to create cores all around his body. He even used his head as a place to store mana core. 

Like that, Alex created ten more cores. He followed the bilateral symmetry of the body to create a mana core. He felt it was easier to make cores when he balanced them on each side of the body.

So, Alex now has ten cores on the left and similarly ten cores on the right side of the body.

Now he could understand why mages don't make more than one mana core. If a normal person had to control multiple mana cores, they would have lost their mind. 

Fortunately, Alex was not normal. Symmetry and balance was also important factor while forming cores. Fortunately for him, Alex realised that in the beginning.

______

A week went by quickly. Alex was ready to depart. 

He had already formed cores at the rate of 10 per day. Now, Alex has 80 cores inside his body. These eighty cores constantly spun like stars in a constellation inside Alex's body. They didn't interact, nor did they create problems inside his boy. They were just spinning calmly while exuding a small amount of mana into his body.

Now, Alex was more a mage than a warrior. After forming twenty more cores, he would become a complete mage. A warrior-mage who is capable of combat with spells and his physical body. Just imagining this thrilled Alex. 

He wanted quickly leave and try out his powers. So, he decided to leave the village of the Stone head tribe today. 

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Alex visited Mupan. And after informing him, he left quietly. Only a select few knew of his departure. 

Last time, when Thee ran away from his home. It caused a loss in morale among the tribesmen. Realising that Alex's departure would create the same effect. The leaders of the tribe decided to keep his departure as something temporary. Alex agreed with it, After all, if he really wanted to, he could return to the stone head tribe anytime he wanted. The long-distance teleport feature of the interdimensional farm was still working.

In an emergency, Alex wouldn't mind spending tens of thousands of FP to travel to his home. In his mind, people were more important than FP.

After a day of peaceful travel, Alex reached the Blue Gem city. His presence was not publicised nor did he go to meet the ice phoenix tribe. This time, he came to the blue gem city to meet Dhairya.

Why was the old man Dhairya, an elder of the stone head tribe in Blue gem city?

Because he was the business manager of Alex and the tribe. Dhairya was the one keeping track of all the products that were being sold by Alex and the Stone head tribe. Alex was the one that asked Dhairya to do this job. In his mind, there was no one as trustworthy as Dhairya in the entire tribe. 

So, to manage a fortune. He had to use him.

Dhairya was sitting inside a small building near the open market of the blue gem city. All the paperwork of the business went through him before being approved. He allocated the farm produce to be sold to each region. He also managed the catering business. He even took care of the employees and their well-being. 

Within months, Dhairya had become a master in managing the business. 

He stood up in surprise when he saw Alex entering the shop. 

"Hm… I wanted the spice garden to be a little more fancy. But, I am okay with the current situation. It's better to not get noticed right now." Alex murmured while he walked towards Dhairya.

"Hello, Grandpa Dhairya. Did you make the thing I requested?" Alex inquired with a smile.

Dhairya was happy to see Alex. From under his desk, he calmly took out a box. 

"Here, Try it on. See if it fits." Dhairya said while handing over the box.

"Okay," Alex replied while opening the box. Inside it was a robe, it looked simple from the outside, but it was made carefully by weaving hair from a seven-coloured sheep along with some other rare materials. Although it looked no different from a normal robe or a cloak. It was a rare and exotic sheep-like magical beast with fur with a special property.

The fur of the beast could change colour when it interacts with mana. Alex injected some mana into it to test. Just as he wished, the robe turned to pure white. He could change it to another colour if he wished. The robes were great for camouflage. 

"As you requested, I asked the void fish tribe to get me the material. The robe was made by one of my friends. No one can trace its origin. But it did cost a king's ransom make." Dhairya clarified.

"What about the metal cards?" Alex ignored the cost. 

"I have them stored inside. But can you say why you need them?" 

"To spread fear," Alex replied nonchalantly. The attack from the black-robed men had shaken the city to its core. The black robes have become a symbol of fear. 

He was going to use white robes to spread fear into the evil organisation. That was the second phase of the plan.
