After ensuring that the children were safe, Kisha and Marcus returned to tending to the farm. Kisha discovered that Marcus could access some features of the territory map, similar to what she used earlier. However, his access was limited compared to hers.

He could monitor the space through the map and address any issues related to the farm or the ranch, but he didn’t have access to all the features she had.

Kisha also discovered that Marcus has the authority to grant limited access to up to 10 people. He can assign them to specific areas, meaning they would be restricted to those zones and unable to roam the entire island. However, he has the power to lift these restrictions if needed.

So his access functions like that of a sub-administrator.

With this authority, he can use the territory’s storage system to store all the crops and produce they gather.

If they are in the territory in City A, they won’t need to move a muscle to transfer items into storage, as it can be connected to anywhere, depending on the administrator’s distribution design.

This feature could be extremely helpful at HOPE Base, but Kisha doesn’t want to transfer her territory here.

Keith and her grandparents are still in City A, and she prefers that place.

She wants it to be her main base where agriculture can thrive, something that would be impossible in the middle of a city.

Now that she had a clear understanding of the access and authority Marcus wielded, Kisha had no intention of changing his level of authority.

She believed it would be helpful in the future.

Instead, she began to explain to him how it all worked, detailing his access and how to use the various features.

She specifically emphasized the importance of the virtual storage because Marcus might mistakenly store all the crops and produce he harvested from the territory in the physical storage in the city instead of the virtual storage of the territory space.

The virtual storage was similar to her system inventory, but with a key difference: it could link to multiple sub-storages from different departments of her territory, depending on the storage link design she created. In contrast, her system inventory was a standalone storage.

Currently, the territory’s virtual storage is linked to the physical storage in City A.

She had configured it to send a specific amount of supplies to their storage every month.

Although they farmed, tended to livestock, and gathered additional supplies outside, she still sent them a bit more to ensure they wouldn’t go hungry.

After instructing Marcus on these crucial details, he began practicing with the territory’s storage, placing all the baskets of crops he had harvested into it. Kisha watched in real-time as her system interface updated her mission progress with each batch of crops Marcus stored.

Mission requirement: 100 kilos each of 10 different types of plants

Progress: 10 Kilos of Carrots, 10 kilos of Yam, 10 kilos of cabbage, 10 kilos of potato, 10 kilos of tomato, 10 kilos of green beans, 10 kilos of okra, 10 kilos of cucumber, 10 kilos of beetroots, 10 kilos kale, 10 kilos of lettuce...

Seeing the variety and quantity of vegetables Marcus had harvested, Kisha realized they had already reached more than ten different kinds, with each kind weighing 10 kilos.

This left them with just 90 kilos more to reach their goal.

With Marcus’s newly awakened ability and his gift ’Green Thumb,’ this target now seemed easily achievable.

After harvesting the mature crops, Marcus immediately tilled the soil to remove the remaining roots before planting more seeds. Kisha then realized that the soil in her territory’s farm might not need to rest or be prepared for the next season’s planting like the soil outside.

Unlike typical farmland that requires preparation and fertilization to ensure the next crops grow properly, her farmland seemed to be perpetually fertile, free from the complications that often concern farmers.

This discovery reassured Kisha, so she left Marcus to continue with his work and headed to the orchard. Her goal was to harvest the fruits before they fell from the trees and either became animal food or rotted on the ground.

She moved swiftly to the orchard, setting a few baskets beside her before starting to pick the fruits.

Rather than using a ladder, she employed her telekinesis to handle the task.

Given that the fruits were much softer and lighter compared to the weapons she typically controlled, she adjusted her force accordingly to avoid damaging them.

However, the moment Kisha extended her telekinesis to the fruits, they either squashed into a pulp or burst from the pressure. She approached this challenge as a training opportunity, aiming to refine her control over her awakened ability in new ways.

In her previous life, she had only focused on the destructive aspects of her power, neglecting the finer control needed for tasks like this, which she now realized was much more difficult than she had anticipated.

Kisha took a deep breath to calm her frustration and deepened her concentration.

She carefully extended her telekinesis toward the fruit hanging in front of her.

Despite her slow, deliberate movements, a bead of sweat formed on her forehead.

With unwavering focus, she managed to gently grasp the fruit with just the right amount of force and carefully twisted it off the tree.

Despite the extreme focus she put into the task, Kisha felt more drained than when using her ability in combat.

The reason behind her efforts was simple: she anticipated that there would be times when she’d need to use her telekinesis on human bodies in the future.

For instance, she might need to lift someone into the air to help them reach safety.

If she couldn’t control her ability properly, she could inadvertently crush them before they even reached safety, which would be disastrous.

Even if such a situation never arises, having full control over her ability would greatly benefit her in battles and reduce her consumption of spiritual energy. Mastering this skill would not only make her more efficient in using her awakened ability but also enhance her mental capacity.

With improved control, she could manage larger and heavier objects, and even handle multiple tasks simultaneously without becoming distracted.

Right now, with the intense focus required, she could only harvest one fruit at a time.

Attempting to manage two simultaneously led to both fruits being crushed due to a lapse in concentration.

Therefore, she chose to harvest one fruit at a time to become familiar with the sensation and gradually build her skill.

Although her progress was slower, it was still more efficient than climbing a ladder and picking the fruit one by one.

Kisha practiced her control repeatedly for several hours until she could manage to harvest two fruits simultaneously. After a few more hours, she improved further and was able to harvest three fruits at once with minimal effort, demonstrating greater precision in controlling the force.

Marcus and his grandchildren watched Kisha in awe as she demonstrated her abilities.

Although they were fascinated, they made sure not to disturb her.

Once they understood what she was doing, they returned to their own tasks around the territory.

They took breaks when needed, resting and sleeping on-site before resuming their work refreshed.
