Chapter 18 - Chpater 18- Farm quest progress day 1 - and selling Quest

The morning sun scattered golden light across the rolling fields of Pelora Farm as Sako led her team forward. A crisp breeze rustled through the crop rows while distant machinery hummed, blending nature with tech in perfect harmony.

The three members of Team E-D-W—Edward, David, and Winston—walked with purpose behind her. They had been silent on the journey, exchanging knowing glances. As they arrived at the farm gate, Winston stepped ahead.

"Sako, before we begin," he said, "we've made a decision."

Sako turned, curious.

"We're changing our team name," David added.

"From today, we're calling ourselves Tech Tunes."

Sako raised an eyebrow. "Tech Tunes?"

Edward nodded.

"We work like a synced trio—technical brilliance with a rhythm. It's the right name for what we're becoming."

Sako smiled. No objections. Only pride.

🟢 Status Update:

✅ Team Rename: E-D-W → Tech Tunes

📡 Change Confirmed — Identity Synced

The Skill Seed Quest Begins

Sako reached into a pouch on her belt and pulled out a glimmering orb—softly glowing, threaded with veins like circuitry wrapped in bark.

"Before we start, take this," she said, handing it to Winston.

"It's called a Skill Seed."

The orb pulsed in his hand—warm, alive.

"Plant it in Pelora's soil. In five days, it'll grow into a Skill Tree and gift you one random skill card."

Tech Tunes leaned in. Sako continued:

"But this isn't just about planting—it's a quest. A test of effort, timing, and care."

David inspected the soil nearby, fingers dipping into the dirt.

"This feels... like more than farming," he murmured.

"This is evolution."

Sako nodded.

"Exactly. You're not just planting seeds—you're growing potential. Skill isn't given. It's grown."

Winston gave a sharp grin.

"Let's do this."

As they stepped into the field, the quest began—Tech Tunes' new identity rooted deep in the soil, primed to bloom with abilities they'd yet to imagine.

As they stepped into the field, the quest began—Tech Tunes' new identity rooted deep in the soil, primed to bloom with abilities they'd yet to imagine.

The sun rose higher over Pelora Farm as Tech Tunes moved into the next phase of their quest. Each member stood over their freshly plowed plot, holding their glowing Skill Seed with care.

 Status Update:

Quest Activated — Pelora Farm: Skill Cultivation

Time Limit: 5 Days

Stages: Plow → Seed → Water → Care → Harvest

The morning air buzzed with gentle energy as Tech Tunes split into their designated farm plots. Each member held their own Skill Seed, ready to begin the work that would shape their growth.

Winston – Plot 1: Razor Precision

Winston stood firm and activated his plow setup.

"Status: Activate — Razor Fang Enhancement."

 A silver glow shimmered over the farming tool.

The earth sliced easily under the enhanced blades, with each stroke razor-sharp and deliberate.

"Tech cuts make soil listen," Winston muttered, grinning.

David – Plot 2: Magical Flow

David's space glowed faintly with arcanic energy as he invoked his setup.

"Status: Activate — Wizard Dairy.- draw Gloves of fast "

The plot shimmered in hues of blue and green. Soft magical lines traced his plowing path as the enchanted dairy tool churned soil with rhythmic pulses and became Gloves.

Glowing spores floated around him like a calm symphony of mana.

"Wizardry isn't loud—it's deep."

Edward – Plot 3: The Carded Approach

Edward drew a shimmering deck from his belt, eyes focused.

"Status: Activate — Curtain falls (ex )activated obtained random skill Sand box- can control sand , use - Card Master Skill -Draw limited ."

 He pulled a plow card, embedded with gentle force, and began his work.

Each strike of the tool felt like a strategic move in a game—measured and calculated.

 His process was slower, taking nearly 30 minutes to complete with layered precision.

Seeding Begins

Winston gently placed his seed into the center of his plot, then covered it with a mix of clay and rich mud. David followed, layering his seed with magical soil infused from his wizard dairy tool. Edward, precise as ever, embedded his seed with a card-marked tag, then sealed it with a soft press of earth.

Each of them poured a small amount of water over the seed—just enough to activate the first pulse of growth.

Sako arrived, her steps light but commanding.

"Good work, team. Now listen—this part is delicate."

She pointed to a glowing chart on her status screen.

"Water the seed twice daily—once in the morning, once in the evening. That keeps the growth cycle stable."

Just then, a soft chime echoed across the field.

Status Update:

Stage 3 Complete — Watering Initiated

Stage 4: Caring — Processing Time: 4 Days

Sako clapped her hands.

"Alright! While the farm quest is on hold during the growth phase, let's not waste time."

She gestured toward a small building nearby with colorful crates stacked outside.

The breeze carried the scent of ripe harvests as Tech Tunes wandered deeper into Lovaria Primary West, a region they'd grown familiar with since the chapter's start. Nestled between the farm trails and the quest board stood the iconic Fruit Shop, its crates brimming with vibrant, enchanted produce.

Sako paused beside the vendor's stall, tapping the wooden sign carved with four symbols:

"Lovaria's Signature Fruits: Buff, Sweet, Dino, Pet."

 The Four Fruit Types of Questoria 

Buff Fruit Eaten raw Grants a 1-hour buff (speed, strength, resistance, etc.) Popular among travelers prepping for short quests Sweet-Fruited Buff Must be crafted into sweets (cakes, syrups, etc.) Buffs activate only after consuming the final dish Effects are longer-lasting and can be stacked Pet Fruit Only edible by animals Unlocks random skills or traits in pets Used for training, bonding, or unlocking hidden potential Dino Fruit Shaped like tiny dinosaurs Can be eaten for minor effects If planted, it grows into an egg Upon hatching, the egg becomes a bonded pet

Sako crouched beside a small patch of soil near the stall and planted a shimmering seed.

"This was a Dino Fruit," she explained. "Watch what happens."

The seed pulsed, then hardened into a glowing egg, humming with latent energy. The group leaned in, mesmerized.

Suddenly, a bark rang out.

"Bulzzer!" Sako called.

 A sturdy Bul Dog bounded into view, tail wagging and eyes alert. Its fur shimmered faintly—evidence of Pet Fruit enhancements.

"He's my companion," Sako said, smiling. "Trained with Pet Fruit. He's got a basic skill set already—tracking, guarding, and blink travel. He's been with me since my first quest in Questeria."

 Bulzzer — Pet Profile

Basic Set (Track, Guard, Blink)

Companion in quests

Winston eyed the Dino Fruit crate, picking up one shaped like a tiny stegosaurus.

"So if I plant this… I get a pet?"

Sako nodded.

"If it hatches, yes. But the bond depends on how you treat it."

The fruit shop wasn't just a vendor—it was a gateway to transformation. Every fruit held a choice, a risk, and a story waiting to unfold.

The bell above the Fruit Shop rang twice—a signal that a new quest had been posted. A parchment unfurled from the quest board, glowing faintly with golden ink.

Sako read aloud:

The team exchanged glances. The fruit crates were full, but the challenge wasn't just inventory—it was persuasion, timing, and strategy.

 Quest Activated: Harvest Hustle

 Strategy Breakdown

• Winston chose Buff Fruits, setting up a mini stall near the training grounds.

• Edward took the Sweet-Fruited Buffs, heading to the bakery district.

• David grabbed a mix of Pet Fruits and Dino Fruits, targeting animal trainers and curious kids.

Status Update: Quest Begins

The timer appeared above each character's HUD:

Crowds began to gather. Some were skeptical, others intrigued. The team had to pitch, charm, and sell—fast.

Sako stayed behind to monitor progress, while Bulzzer trotted between stalls, occasionally barking to draw attention.

The clock ticked down, but the pressure only sharpened their instincts.

 Winston's Transformation

Two hours into the quest, Winston ducked behind a stall and emerged in a sleek seller's outfit—a tailored vest with gold trim, enchanted cuffs that shimmered with charm magic.

"Time to sell like a legend."

He approached a wealthy merchant from the upper district, pitching Buff Fruits with precision and flair.

"One bite, one hour of dominance. You don't just eat these—you command with them."

The merchant, impressed by Winston's confidence and presentation, bought all 25 fruits in one go.

Edward's Sweet Talk

Edward took a gentler route, walking into the Bakery Guild of Lovaria with a basket of Sweet-Fruited Buffs.

"Imagine a tart that boosts your stamina. Or a pie that sharpens your focus."

He spoke with warmth and clarity, offering samples and explaining the crafting potential. The bakers, enchanted by the possibilities, bought his entire stock for their enchanted dessert line.

 David's Pet Pitch

David headed to the Pet House of Lovaria, a cozy clinic run by the renowned pet doctor, Dr. Mewlin.

"These Pet Fruits unlock hidden skills. And Dino Fruits? They hatch into lifelong companions."

Dr. Mewlin tested one fruit on a recovering fox-hound. It gained a new tracking skill instantly. Within minutes, David's full stock was purchased for training and rehabilitation.

Bulzzer barked once, then sat calmly—his tail wagging in sync with the glowing Focus aura around the team.

The golden light of late afternoon bathed Lovaria Primary West in a soft glow as the fruit-selling quest came to a close. The team gathered near the quest board, their bags heavier with rewards and their spirits lifted.

Sako stood before them, arms crossed and smiling.

"Good work, kids. Now let's check your Quest Logs and see how your Basic Skill Sets are shaping up."

Sako nodded, pleased with their progress.

"You're all close to completing your Basic Skill Sets. Once the Farm quest finishes, Winston should unlock Kindness, and the rest of you will be one step closer."

She turned toward the path leading back to the dorms.

"Alright, head to your dorms now. Rest well. When noon comes, meet me by the water station. We've got something new to begin."

Bulzzer barked once, as if confirming the plan.

The team walked off together, the sun behind them, their sets nearly complete—and their journey just beginning.
