Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat

The next morning, Roy was unable to go to the blacksmith's shop.

To be precise, he didn't come out of the latrine until the afternoon of the next day, and he felt completely exhausted, his physical condition was even worse than before.

He used the iron plate to reflect his attributes, and his physique had indeed improved, reaching 1.0—the extra 0.1 seemed to be a result of natural development. However, a new status appeared on his panel—diarrhea—causing his physique to revert to its state before he even arrived at the blacksmith's shop.

This diarrhea lasted until the next morning.

"So, it took me two nights to increase my physique by only 0.2 points?"

This speed is astonishing for ordinary people, even comparable to a knight's squire who has just learned breathing techniques. However, Roy gains 0.3 power every night through the statue, so in this respect, he is still at a slight disadvantage.

"However, besides that, I also gained..."

In the skills panel, the words "thermal sensing" shine brightly.

Thermal sensing can be used to detect warm-blooded animals, serving a detection function, while dynamic vision is more effective in fast-paced combat. In comparison, Roy believes thermal sensing is more valuable.

"Now, even if Delock wants to ambush me, it won't be that easy," Roy thought.

Now that his stomach was empty and the diarrhea had subsided a little, Roy went to the Soram Tavern and ordered two sets of the number three meal.

He wolfed down his food and returned to the outhouse before the next wave arrived.

Then, I spent another night in the outhouse.

The next morning, Roy was lying in bed with dark circles under his eyes when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

With a creak, it was Gerrard.

He held a cloth bag in his hand and asked suspiciously, "You didn't come yesterday. Did you eat... crescent mushrooms?"

He knew that Roy had brought back crescent mushrooms among the plants.

"If I had actually eaten the crescent mushroom, I would have died long ago." After all, it's not a low-level poison like diarrhea; it can actually kill a person.

However, when Roy saw the bulging bag in Gerald's hand, his eyes lit up and he immediately sat up in bed.

"Have they all been found?"

After returning from Hillna Mountain, he asked Gerald to help him collect three kinds of plants: blue bamboo shoots, crescent mushrooms, and cabbage leaves. After all, he had spent three silver dollars hiring Tucker, plus the money he had bribed Larry with, and the cost of eating "feasts" every day for the past few days, leaving him with only a little over two silver dollars in assets.

We can't exactly hire Tucker to go to Hillna Mountain again.

One cannot do everything personally.

"The herb gatherer happens to have a pile of these plants," Gerald said. "But what do you need them for? Blue bamboo shoots are delicious, but they have no nutritional value. Crescent mushrooms are said to have a very flavorful flesh, but only knights can ignore their toxins. As for cabbage leaves..."

It's just like the mint from my previous life, giving the mouth a slightly cooling sensation.

Roy couldn't very well say that asparagus should be taken for three days, while kale leaves should be taken 12 at once to be effective.

"...Delicious." He slowly uttered a reply.

"Well... good luck." Gerald placed the bag by the bedside and turned his gaze to the weakened Roy.

"By the way, these cost three silver dollars each, I'll pay for them for you in advance."

"Three silver!" Roy dared to say that these plants, which others considered useless, were actually worth three silver, and that was an absolute steal.

Could it be that Gerrard was tricked?

Gerald explained, "After all, only a few people have the detailed trap maps of Hillna Mountain, and ordinary people who don't know this might step into a trap. So, the fee will definitely be higher."

"Normally, no one would buy these things from the herb gatherer. He would either export them outside the town or simply pile them up and let them get moldy."

Roy understood; it was an information gap.

Moreover, the herb gatherer must have some means to drive away the one-eyed snakes. There are so many one-eyed snakes on Mount Hilna that if someone goes alone, they could easily be poisoned and die.

"Back home... Father asked you when you're coming back? With you here, his forging efficiency can double." At this point, Gerard's tone became somewhat sour.

This clearly acknowledges Roy's forging skills, which are almost identical to those of Old John.

Of course, this only applies to the iron sword blueprints he has thoroughly mastered. If he were to forge a different material, Roy would still be a novice and have to start from scratch. However, he learns quite quickly.

"The day after tomorrow." Tomorrow, Roy plans to eat these plants and then go to the church in the evening to obtain the final 0.4 of his strength attribute—4000 punches in one night, it will be a fierce battle, and he needs to be fully prepared.

"Alright." Gerald turned to leave, hesitated for a moment, then turned back. "Tomorrow is the last time I'll go to Perland's mercenary school to learn swordsmanship..."

To be honest, Roy had a pretty good grasp of the boy's personality.

"I believe you can definitely learn it," Roy comforted him, going along with his thoughts.

Having received this positive response, Gerrard's steps seemed much lighter and more agile as he left.

"Three silver plants..." Roy reluctantly opened the bag, counted the number of plants, confirmed that it was just enough for his needs and that the quality was good, and finally closed his eyes with satisfaction.

The next morning, he jumped out of bed with a start.

Breakfast consisted of a dark bread loaf, plus a bottle of fresh milk bought from the milkman in town—a beverage reserved for the middle class in Lanxi Town.

After eating bread with milk, Roy felt full of energy. He took out the metal plate and looked at himself. His height increased by 1cm, reaching 1.53m.

He returned home, took out a cloth bag and went to the yard, where he began to eat the blue bamboo shoots that would take three days to take effect.

Of course, it's eaten raw.

First, he didn't have a pot at home; second, the Eye of Truth didn't provide any instructions on how to cook it, so it's best to preserve the original flavor of the ingredients.

Next up is the crescent mushroom.

He first used a knife to cut off the mushroom caps, exactly 26 of them, and arranged them in a row on the cloth bag. As for the mushroom stems, he simply threw them into the soil as part of the nutrients.

"Crescent mushrooms, they taste pretty good even raw." Roy mumbled, chewing on the mushroom cap. It's said that the stem of the crescent mushroom is even tastier than the cap, but the price is that it's poisonous, making it a delicacy only the strong can enjoy.

Wealthy nobles would also hire professional detoxifiers to remove toxins from the mushroom stems; it just goes to show that money can buy anything.

After eating a dozen or so, Roy felt a strange energy brewing in his abdomen. By the time he ate 26, that energy seemed to have broken through its limits, running rampant throughout his body and recklessly transforming it.

"This feeling is exactly the same as gaining power after striking a statue!"

"No, a physique of 0.2 actually means that overall energy is much stronger than before!"

The chaotic energy gradually subsided within Roy's body until it finally vanished without a trace.

He felt a faint soreness in his limbs and torso, as if he had done his maximum number of push-ups in one go.

This soreness did not affect his movements at all.

Now, his physique has reached the level of a strong adult, reaching 1.2.

The last thing Roy took out was a cabbage leaf.

Hold 12 pieces in each hand.

This is a rare plant that can enhance mental attributes.

Since Roy's transmigration, his spirit has never improved, but inexplicably, everyone he has scanned with his True Sight has a spirit lower than his.

The highest level person he has ever met is Delock, with a spirit level of 0.6, barely half that of him.

He didn't know what the use of his mind was, but perhaps at a certain level, he could use telekinesis?

However, when he previously saw through the detailed information of the "Simple Bloodline Fusion Witchcraft Array," he sensed that it was the spiritual attribute that helped him break through that barrier.

Does that mean that as his mental abilities continue to improve, he will be able to detect the effects of Delock's skill—Lion's Roar?

Roy could easily analyze the skills of the other bloodline members, but he was completely baffled by the Lion's Roar...

Sometimes, the unknown brings the greatest fear.

Thinking of this, Roy stuffed the cabbage leaf into his mouth without hesitation.
