<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s see what kinds of vegetables are grown here," Keith was quite eager to find out. He had found quite a lot of the ingredients from yesterday. But he knew there had to be even more over here!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Got any ces you want to go to first?" Keith nced up at Long Hao. The child was his tour guide.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Lead the way!" Keith grinned as he rushed in the direction the boy pointed to. That was when they arrived at quite a beautiful ce. It was full of farms; he could also see many people working.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s this?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Farms."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is this where your foodes from?" Keith looked up.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. Rice and others."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Did youe here because I talked a lot about rice? Keith''s mouth curved. Let''s go down there right now. With a grin, he walked down. As he did so, he noticed the kids working in the fields as well. I get why he brought me here.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Young Man, why are you here?" One dragon person noticed Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can I get some rice?" Keith didn''t hesitate.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Sure, but it''s not harvested." The nts were right there. That was when Keith smiled, "Then how about I help you collect the rice?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, but are you fine with this?" The size of the field was nothing to scoff at. It would take them a whole day just to finish it.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m fine with that! What about you three?" Keith nced up at Long Hao, Aria, and Fira.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm!" "Yeah!" "Ho!" The three were the same.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then I''m thankful for the help!" The man grinned. Having an extra set of hands really helped out.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do I need to do?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s actually quite simple. Do you see those paddies right there? You just need to collect the ones that are bright red like this. You can tell by the shade."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Gotcha," This is simple enough. Keith asked the boy, "Do you have any spare clothes in his size?" This child wore a princely suit; there was no way he could work in those.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course," The farmer quickly returned with some worker clothes for Long Hao.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pretty good on you, Haohao." He was wearing trousers and a short-sleeved shirt.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm!" Long Hao beamed. That was when the two started to work. As they did so, Keith was a fast worker while Long Hao tried to follow his lead.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Boy, you''re a natural at this!" The dragon man was quite surprised at how fast he did so.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you. I''m all in it for the rice!" Rice! The only thought was to obtain that rice! While he continued to pull, Long Hao was having a tough time. That was when a dragon kid came and helped him pull.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Like this?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm!" The bigger dragon kid nodded as he taught Long Hao how to do it. Keith continued to smile, but he refocused on the work. That was when,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''re done so faster because of you, Boy!" The dragon farmer, Huo Ye, gasped. It was quite a thing. He had finished one field instantly.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"As agreed, I get some of the rice, right?" Keith grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course. But you need to use me magic on it." Huo Ye exined.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"This type of rice is special as it absorbs fire magic. It increases vor as more mes are added into it."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"….Understood." Without any hesitation, Keith scorched that thing with super fire!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oooh!" Long Hao and the other kids were amazed by the giant fire column.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What was that?!" That was when a fox man came over. The giant pir of fire was quite eye-catching to everyone.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, Osamu. This man right here said that he was going to help gather rice in exchange for some." Huo Ye exined.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah! If that is the case, then can you help me out! Our rice is also quite different from Hou Ye''s farm." Osamu smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure!" Keith''s eyes glimmered with brightness when he did so. But as he was about to, he didn''t forget about Long Hao. For him to do all of this would be quite difficult for the boy. He would need something else.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Guys, do you want to y a game?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Long Hao and the other kids tilted their heads.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Line up in a circle if you can,"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay!" The kids quickly did so. He quickly picked an open field to y,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Check this out," Keith started to kick a ball up and down from the ground. It was quite skillful and easy. That caused the kids to be quite amazed as they gazed at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Want to y a game?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm!" The kids nodded their heads. With a snap of his fingers, Keith had made two goalposts.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You kid the ball into them, and it''s considered a goal. Two people can stay there. And the rest need to use their feet. Understood?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"This should be good," Keith smiled as he looked at that. And like that, he taught the kids how to y ser.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You guys ce nice, okay! Don''t let anyone get hurt!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay!" The kids quickly nodded. Keith then headed over to Osamu''s farm.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry about that."
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine. You got the kids to move around," The fox was happy about this. The kids would have nothing to do to pass the time. Having a game helped out a lot. That was when Keith started to move on those paddies.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is there anything else you need help with?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can you help me move these things as well?" Somehow, there were even more farmers around. That caused Keith to grin, "On it! I''ll get to work." The whole few hours were spent working. And he had obtained a lot.
