Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 90: The Bountiful Harvest and the Trap’s Success

In any case, this wheat plant was growing well. If the system didn’t show the maturity date, so be it. It probably wouldn’t take longer to mature than the other wheat plants. Perhaps it was a new variety. It wasn’t uncommon for one particular crop to stand out, and it could be cultivated to produce even better future generations.

With that thought, Kim Haru stopped worrying about it.

After watering the ten wheat plants, he went to the opposite side of the fence to harvest the new batch of vegetables.

When he planted this second wave of vegetables, the trading system hadn’t been activated yet, so he hadn’t been able to buy cabbage seeds and thus didn’t plant any cabbage. Instead, he had planted fifty potato seeds and one hundred soybean seeds. Now, with the crops fully matured, the yield was enormous.

The potatoes, in particular, were so plentiful that Kim Haru spent the entire morning harvesting all 150 plots.

The scale his friend Hwa Jian had given him when they bought vegetables in Fourth District was still in his possession. It came in handy this time as he used it to weigh his newly harvested potatoes and soybeans.

The soybeans were easier to weigh—100 seeds yielded 25 kg of soybeans. The potatoes, however, piled up into a massive heap. After spending quite a bit of effort, Kim Haru finally weighed them. This time, he had harvested a whopping 750 kg of potatoes!

No wonder potatoes were a staple in so many transmigration novels. The yield was truly remarkable.

Kim Haru cleared out two slots in his backpack and stored all the potatoes and soybeans inside.

"If only there were a storage facility," Kim Haru said, while stretching his back and letting out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the system suddenly popped up with a message.

[ After harvesting 2,500 kg of crops, you can unlock the storage facility, ]

Kim Haru’s eyes lit up.

He had suspected that since it was a farming system, there would have to be storage buildings, but it seemed they had to be unlocked step by step. Two and a half thousand kg of crops wasn’t too difficult. He’d already harvested 750 kg of potatoes today alone. A few more rounds like this, and the storage would be available.

With that in mind, Kim Haru calculated the total from his two harvests so far—it came to 957.5 kg.

The potatoes and soybeans were now safely stored in his system backpack, leaving only the soybean stalks and potato leaves scattered on the ground in front of him.

Only then did Kim Haru remember that he hadn’t dealt with the leftover soybean and potato leaves from the last harvest. When he sold vegetables for the first time, he had hesitated to sell those parts, worrying that no one would want them, so he didn’t bring them out. Afterward, he got busy and forgot. Shin Woncheon probably assumed he had already sold them, so he never mentioned it either.

Now, there was another heap to deal with.

Kim Haru thought for a moment and decided to process them.

Soybean stalks couldn’t be eaten, so he set them aside as raw material for more plant ash fertilizer. However, both the soybean leaves and potato leaves were edible, so he bundled them together with the previous batch of leaves and planned to sell them in the store as well.

Having walked through the safety zone once and personally witnessed how people went mad for even a bite of food, Kim Haru now had a clearer understanding of the scarcity of food. Even though these leaves weren’t particularly tasty and he had no intention of eating them himself, if they could provide some relief to others, he didn’t mind selling them.

Naturally, the price for these leaves would be set lower than that of regular crops. As for the exact pricing, he would figure it out when he went to the shop later.

Once he had finished the harvest, the vegetable patch on the left was now empty, and the soil had already been turned over. After a moment of thought, Kim Haru went ahead and scattered 150 soybean seeds into the plot.

To plant potatoes, you need to cut them into pieces and coat them with plant ash. After a tiring morning, Kim Haru didn’t feel like dealing with such a labor-intensive task. Since beginner plants grew fast anyway, planting soybeans for three days wouldn’t be a problem.

After scattering the soybean seeds, he covered them with soil and watered them individually. It didn’t take much time.

As he looked at the freshly planted soybeans, Kim Haru added another item to the list of materials he needed to search for in the safe zone: an oil-pressing tool.

"If only I could find something for making tofu as well," he thought.

After half a day of hard work, Kim Haru was just about to take an afternoon nap when he suddenly remembered what had been on his mind before falling asleep the previous night.

—What about his traps?

The thought instantly banished his drowsiness.

Just like yesterday, he tied up his collar and cuffs to ward off insects, grabbed a rope, and headed up the mountain.

Following the same path as the day before, he passed the spot where he had picked mushrooms. He took a quick look around but didn’t see any mushrooms, so he kept walking without stopping. Soon, he arrived at the marked spot.

Even before reaching the trap, Kim Haru’s face lit up with joy.

The branches and dried leaves he had used to cover the pit were gone, revealing an empty hole. Something had definitely fallen in!

The only question was whether the creature was still inside. The pit wasn’t very big, so if whatever fell in struggled hard enough, it might have already escaped.

Thinking this, Kim Haru quickened his pace.

When he reached the top of the trap and looked down, a smile spread across his face.

"It didn’t get away."
