I Become Farmer in My Anime World

The next day, Jay, who had once again been tasked with gathering animal feed, was seen walking through the forest east of the village.

Taking advantage of the good harvest in the area, Jay considered continuing deeper in search of more crops.

"It took me about an hour to get back to where I was yesterday, and judging by the pattern, it looks like I'll still find elephant grass in the deeper areas." Jay, who had rested for a while, began calculating where he would continue walking in the forest east of the village.

He also brought a slingshot made by his father, made from a strong branch and reinforced with rubber from a car tire his grandfather had found when he went to town.

Before Jay received his hunting ability, he only used this slingshot to play around the village.

Now that he had acquired his hunting ability, Jay naturally brought it with him.

Don't ask why he didn't have other hunting weapons like a rifle or bow; it was because no one in his family knew how to hunt.

His father was just a fairly skilled farmer with some carpentry skills.

As for whether he would borrow a hunting weapon from his uncle, Jay clearly decided against it, as he felt it wasn't the right time yet.

And he was notoriously lacking in hunting skills, so why would he even consider a hunting weapon, not to mention his parents' concerns.

Who, of course, would definitely forbid him from hunting.

Because they didn't know his abilities, he spent most of his time searching for fodder.

Jay had made plans to bring in game as often as possible, so they would know and realize he had the ability to hunt.

From there, he could then take the next step in choosing a more powerful weapon.

"Although this slingshot can only catch small animals like squirrels, rabbits, birds, and jungle fowl, it's enough for now.

As for larger animals, I can only catch them by setting traps.

After all, Jay needs to quickly expand his area to reach 1,000 kg of prey.

With that, he can open up a larger area of 20 hectares, and from there, his food self-sufficiency won't be far off."

After walking for another half hour, Jay arrived near a small, clear river. There was a sloping, flat area that appeared to be overgrown with elephant grass.

Seeing this, Jay was delighted, as he had found what he was looking for.

"Oh... I found more elephant grass. Time to harvest," Jay said happily, approaching the area.

"The elephant grass here seems quite fertile, almost the same as what I found near the duck pond." Jay looked around the entire elephant grass area and realized it was quite extensive.

"Okay, now it's time to check it out." Jay, as usual, looked around the elephant grass area, relying on using a wooden stick over 2 meters long, Jay began to chase away and warn away the snake-like creatures hiding within.

Seeing some movement, seemingly fleeing the elephant grass area, Jay breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, it's a good thing I'm always cautious, otherwise, I don't know what dangers await me.

"Even so, I have to stay alert at all times," Jay, reflecting on his master-level hunting skills, knew.

He couldn't afford to let his guard down in the forest, and no one would be able to help him if something happened.

So Jay was more vigilant. Fortunately, with his spatial abilities, he quickly harvested the elephant grass there, and it only took him a dozen minutes to harvest all of it.

On the other hand, after sorting the elephant grass in his space, Jay realized that there was a fruit tree that looked familiar.

"Wait a minute... this looks like a fruit tree." Jay approached a tree that was about 5-7 meters tall.

Approaching the fruit tree, Jay realized it was a cashew tree.

Yes, this tree is known as the cashew tree in Jay's village because its fruit is shaped like a monkey's bottom.

(The cashew fruit, or Anacardium occidentale, also known as the cashew apple, has various health benefits. It is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which can help boost the immune system and protect the body from damage. due to free radicals. Furthermore, cashew nuts are also beneficial for heart, digestive, and bone health, and can help lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Meanwhile, the nuts found at the base of the fruit, also known as cashews, have various health benefits. Cashews can help maintain heart health, prevent anemia, increase energy, maintain bone health, maintain eye health, and prevent gallstones.

"I didn't expect another surprise here!!" Jay said happily.

"Although there aren't many fruits on this tree, there should be enough to make several kilograms of cashew nuts," he said, imagining the deliciousness of fried cashew nuts without oil.

"Okay, let's collect them!" Not wanting to delay, Jay began collecting the cashew nuts.

This was a shame for Jay, who knew that this fruit was also good for animal feed, but it needed to be processed, and he didn't know how.

After collecting a sufficient number of cashew nuts from the cashew fruit, Jay weighed them and found that he had yielded about 3 kilograms.

It was a pretty good yield. "It's a shame there are only so many fruits on this tree. If it were normal, I could have harvested at least dozens, if not tens, of kilograms of nuts." Although a little regretful, Jay was still grateful for the harvest.

"Okay, let's continue our journey, and this time, let's hone my hunting skills." Jay decided to look for a game.

He had harvested enough elephant grass to last him for several days, even almost a week. This was possible because the total elephant grass in his space was nearly 700 kg.

He walked attentively, looking for any signs of wild animals nearby.

Perhaps Jay's luck was running out. After nearly two hours of walking deep into the forest, he still hadn't found any suitable prey.

"Ohhhh...my luck seems to be running out. I haven't found a single animal yet!" He sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I should head back. It's quite a long way from the village." Thinking about the more than three-hour journey, Jay decided to turn back.

He left the village around 7 a.m. and it was now almost 11:30 p.m., so if everything went smoothly, he would arrive back at 2 p.m.

He'd definitely missed lunch, so Jay decided to find a place to rest and have lunch on his way home.

Jay eventually returned to the cashew tree, choosing this spot because a small stream, about a meter deep, flowed nearby.

"I need to find a slightly larger area to make lunch," Jay observed, looking at the narrow riverbank.
