Noah read prompt after prompt, and they did not even seem close to being done as more came even before one fully enjoyed the grandeur of the prompt before it!
|Replantation Process: Seeds may be planted immediately following harvest in prepared plots enhanced with Early Creature blood. Germination rate in Shore conditions: 98%. Time to maturity: 1 hour under current enhancement levels.|
|Plot Expansion: Additional cultivation areas may be established at any time through sacrifice of Early Creature blood. Recommended ratio: 18 drops per standard cultivation plot. Maximum sustainable plots limited only by available Shore territory.|
|Sacred Storage: Harvested crops may be stored within Sacred Totems, which will further enhance their weavings of existence for as long as they remain in containment. Enhancement rate: 5% potency increase per day of storage, maximum enhancement: 500%.|
|Quality Grading: Harvested materials will be automatically categorized into Standard, Superior, and Pristine grades based on Shore influence during growth. Higher grades provide exponentially greater benefits when consumed.|
|Processing Options: Raw consumption provides immediate but temporary benefits. Processed materials may be refined through Sacred Totem exposure, Early Creature alteration through cooking, or combination with other Early Sacred materials for permanent enhancement effects.|
|Manual Harvesting Required: Manual harvesting can be done by an Early Creature, an Early Living Land Lifeform, or Arch Living Existence to maintain optimal potency. Automated harvesting is possible through thr sacrifice of one drop of Blood, but it reduces effectiveness by 75%.|
...!
Oh!
Noah smiled at the comprehensive information provided by the Shore’s systems, each prompt revealing new layers of complexity to what had initially seemed like simple agricultural work.
He rose from his seated position and reached out to stroke the lustrous coat of the arrogant Heidrun, her fur carrying warmth that seemed to be burning brighter as she looked at thr vibrant green gold grasses!
His gaze shifted toward Moiraine, whose transformation into a terrifying Honored Arch Living Existence wielding hundreds of Eminent Glyphs represented one of the most significant achievements so far. Yet...her first action after ascending to such overwhelming power would be to help manually harvest crops in the Early Veiled Shore!
There was something profoundly appropriate about this!
As Noah approached the cultivation plot with Heidrun beside him and Moiraine moving to join them, the Early Veiled Shore itself seemed to pulse with anticipation.
As he moved and began to harvest the grass by hand, he looked around and wondered...nothing too crazy was going on out there in the meanwhile, right?
"..."
Such a thought only rose once before he shook his head with a smile and returned to his task of harvesting.
Acting as an Early Creature- as a Farmer in this Early Veiled Shore had granted him a more rapid progression than what any grand battles or war would have.
Doing things in the Early Veiled Shore would actually allow him to progress the fastest!
The harvest began with quintessential glory.
Noah positioned himself at one edge of the cultivation plot while Moiraine approached from another angle, her newly transformed presence making the very air shimmer with contained authority.
Between them, Heidrun stood with the imperious confidence of someone who had never failed at any task she deemed worthy of her attention.
Glass containers materialized around the edges of the plot, their crystalline surfaces designed to preserve the unique properties of whatever they contained.
For her first attempt at harvesting, Heidrun approached a particularly vibrant cluster of green-gold shoots with the focused intensity of someone proving a point.
Her jaws opened with careful precision as she grasped the grass with movements that should have been flawless in their execution.
But...by the time her mouth moved toward the designated container, the Auric Vitae Grass had long since disappeared down her throat!
...!
Oh!
Her eyes shone with pleasure and contentment that she couldn’t quite suppress, the taste of the delicacy overwhelming her intentions with pure sensory bliss.
Yet almost immediately, guilt flickered across her crystalline gaze as she realized what had occurred.
She looked toward Noah with an expression that mixed embarrassment with determination, noting how he remained focused on his own harvesting work without judgment or criticism.
In that moment, Heidrun made a decisive promise to herself: she would successfully harvest a bundle without consuming it.
Her second attempt began with even greater resolve.
She approached another cluster with movements that carried the dignity of someone who had learned from previous mistakes.
Her jaws closed around the grass with deliberate control, every fiber of her being focused on the simple task of transportation.
