"System, scan those crops."
Kyle said under his breath.
[Scanning…]
[Analysis Complete: Mana-Infused Crops]
[Mana Concentration: 2%]
[Properties: Boosts physical health, accelerates mana system development, strengthens internal organs over time.]
Kyle's heart skipped a beat.
Mana-infused crops were rare, and even the Royal Capital could only produce them in tightly controlled laboratories or ancient, sacred fields.
For a few backwater farmers to grow them here—on land that looked like a wasteland—meant one thing:
This land was hiding a secret. A powerful one.
And it now belonged to him.
The moment Kyle confirmed the truth of what he'd seen—the shimmering soil, the mana-infused crops, and the farmers who worked the land with a balance of grace and power—he knew this land was far from worthless.
It was a hidden gem, and now, it was his.
With Queen silently slithering behind him like a dark shadow, Kyle descended into the valley proper.
