Wow, now he has something to plant stuff in, but hes still missing some crops
That could be really useful, but he still has nothing to grow.
He remembers the Daily Login and checks it out.
That couldn't be a coincident. Today's gift was a 'Box of Boom Corn(common)'
[ (New)Farmer Questline: First Sowing ]
[ Time to produce some foot. Plant ten crops. ]
[ Reward: New Skill ]
He laughs and looks for a place to set the plant pot up. He chooses the space close to the tent but far enough away in case they explode. They probably don't but in this world you can never know what could happen.
Now he just had to set it up as fast as possible, because it is already late afternoon.
He takes it out and sighs, because its another DIY set with an allen wrench.
Even the potting soil is included. Sadly, the plastic bags for the soil start to dissolve when they are empty. It is easier than the shrine and after a hour it is finished.
Thanks to his job he knows the basics of planting and gets right to it.
He spreads the seeds and waters them with as little water as possible, because he has to save up.
Yeah, he has to get some water soon, the water magic is to inefficient, but the river is to far away. Maybe there is a stream close up, but he doesn't wants to risk it right now.

That is the only quest he has right now, so he has to wait.
He decides to go sleep early today, because it was an exhausting day.
The next morning he got quit used to the beautiful view and does a morning workout.
If he is trapped here, he can at least get a bit more healthier.
The crops really went wild over night and started sprouting already.
As a Daily Login he got a wooden barrel today? There is even a bamboo ladle in it. It still smells like wine in there, but he doesn't see any further use.
With nothing better to do he decides to fill it with water magic.
Even after half a day it is only 10cm filled.
Leif is really exhausted, but still waters the corn and prays to the spirit, before he goes to sleep again.
Today he wakes up when it is still dark and he can't see anything.
He can't go back to sleep, so he just stares into the darkness, ignoring all the strange noises coming from the forest.
When the sun finally comes out he feels tired again.
The crops now nearly reached his height.
The Daily Login gives him a donation box that can't be opened. How boring.
He puts it in front of the spirit statue.
The sky is fills with dark clouds and it slowly starts to rain.
He prays again and spends the rest of the day in his tent
On day five he finally got something really useful: a knife.
It wouldn't be a problem, if he just goes a bit in the forest and imminently runs back, if he sees some monster, right?
He walked a few meters in the forest without seeing anything and grabs a few chunks of wood and nothing happens.
Did he overreact? Was it necessary to be this difficult?
Then he sees something black moving in the distance. It is a black bear.
At least it looks like one, but it is six times bigger.
He panics, suppresses a scream and wants to run away, but that would being its attention, so he slowly backs away in the hope that whatever this 'Protection' is, it would protect him.
The bear looks in his direction and slowly starts to move, but the moment Leif enters the plateau he looses interest and walks in a different direction.
That was to much for him. He falls in the grass and take deep breaths. Okay, he leaned his lesson and will stay here.
He spends the rest of the day carving something out of the wood. He really longs for something warm now. The corn he has is okay, but it gets monotonous without something else to that.
