Takumi remembered that Zabuton only appeared in autumn.
But now, it was still far from autumn.
Zabuton scratched its head in embarrassment when it heard this, signaling that no matter what, it was still important to pass the 'entry interview' first.
It began spitting out spider silk, its four forelimbs flying up and down. In the blink of an eye, it had knitted a handkerchief and handed it to Takumi.
Then it pointed to the diced potatoes on the ground it had just dug out—unwanted leftovers from the previous harvest.
Takumi naturally knew it was here to make a living, and its ability and strength were indeed impressive, so he did not hesitate.
"You want to join our Dimension City, right? No problem, I agree."
Wow!
Zabuton raised its paws happily after hearing this.
Later, Takumi gave it the name Zabuton. The name was quite good, so Takumi didn't change it.
Zabuton also expressed that it liked it very much. Looking at the giant spider, Takumi suddenly thought of something and took it to the cotton field nearby.
"Can you make something with this cotton?"
This cotton was grown by Takumi for the cloth of the Dimension City and as raw material for bedding and mattresses.
When he read the original work of Isekai Nonbiri Nouka in his previous life, he always felt that Hiraku was really lacking. In the later period, the quilt and mattress fillings were actually made of hay.
Takumi remembered this deeply, so he had planted the cotton early.
Originally, Takumi was planning to wait for the Highschool of the Dead world. At the beginning of that plot, he would go over to harvest resources, obtain power generation facilities and industrial equipment, and then process the cotton.
Now that Zabuton had appeared early, Takumi was ready to let it try.
Zabuton heard Takumi's words, picked a cotton flower, looked left and right, checked it, and suddenly started to show off its skills.
It kept picking cotton, and the cotton in its hands was instantly pried open, and pure white fibers were taken out. It removed the debris, twisted it into filaments, and wove it into cloth.
In a short time, it had woven a piece of cloth more than one meter wide and three meters long.
Then it was handed to Takumi as if asking for credit.
Takumi picked it up and found that it was almost the same as the fine fabric processed by modern machines.
It looked like sheer yarn, with a little stretch and elasticity, and the toughness was quite good and very strong.
"Good! Well done."
Takumi couldn't help but praise Zabuton.
Then he smiled and said, "Well, you can process this cotton for me according to this quality, with a width of 1.5 meters and a length of 30 meters. I will give one hundred kilograms of potatoes for each roll as a processing fee."
At the speed the cloth was being made, a roll of cloth only took about ten minutes, meaning about three or four rolls an hour.
If calculated as potatoes, the processing fee for the cloth was equivalent to several hundred yuan per hour. But it didn't matter to Takumi. Anyway, he didn't have much else now, but he had a lot of food. Especially potatoes. Hundreds of tons were piled in the granary, and he didn't know how to consume them.
It happened that Zabuton liked to eat potatoes, so Takumi was willing to give it more, helping to clear the inventory.
But Zabuton shook its paws.
"What? Too much to finish?"
"This is not food for you, but the reward for this task. There is only so much cotton; it will be processed soon."
"As for your food, you can produce some more spider silk fabrics for me, and I will set a price for you then. From now on, you will have to earn your own food; the Dimension City will not support you for nothing."
After Takumi gave it some education about labor and rewards, Zabuton happily started processing cotton.
Seeing this, Takumi nodded with satisfaction.
This made sense.
In the original work, Takumi was quite speechless when he saw Hiraku's operation.
It was said that Zabuton was also a resident, but he was basically raising Zabuton for free.
In other words, Zabuton was kind-hearted and took the initiative to produce spider silk fabrics and help make clothes to repay him.
Otherwise, it was almost treated as a watchdog.
Moreover, there was basically no proper employment relationship. The circulation of materials was often based on bartering according to mood, which seriously lowered the level of civilization.
It also indirectly led to the difficulty in building a subsequent economic system.
Therefore, Takumi would confirm the labor employment procedures as he was doing now, to facilitate the construction of the internal economic system of the Dimension City later.
Using food for work was just the first step for Takumi to build an economic system for the Dimension City.
Later, he would also manage the granary and grain production, using this as a basis to issue a grain standard, which is a currency that can be exchanged for grain.
He digressed and returned to the topic.
Takumi took a look at Zabuton's work, and after confirming there was no problem, he told it that after the cloth was processed, it could exchange its work with Tomoko for wages and settle down on the big tree in the center. After getting Zabuton's clear response, Takumi went to tell Tomoko about the matter again.
Then he stopped caring about it and continued to create magic.
Soon, the magic to store additional magic power was successfully created by Takumi.
Takumi named it the [Mana Circuit Seal].
Because after this magic is used, a red pattern will be attached to the user's body. The more charged it is, the brighter the red will be. On the contrary, if the energy is used up, it will dim and eventually disappear.
After completing this magic, Takumi cast a set of Command Seals on his right hand.
Of course, it was just for show.
Each of these three magic patterns can store the same amount of magic power as Takumi's current total magic power. The problem of magic power had been solved, and then came the creation of other magics.
The first was elemental magic.
Wind, fire, water, earth, wood, thunder, ice, light, and darkness.
These nine attributes of magic were created by Takumi into nine systems, divided into levels one to nine according to different powers. The first level is a small fireball, which is about as powerful as a pistol.
The ninth level is equivalent to a Tsar Bomba. Once fired, a small country can be destroyed.
However, after creating it, Takumi did not conduct experiments. After all, it was too powerful and difficult to use in the Dimension City.
Therefore, this power is currently only a theoretical power and has not been tested in practice.
But from the previous tests, the power of several levels of magic is consistent with the standards set at the time of creation. Thinking about the advanced magic, it should be correct.
At the same time, Takumi also made a meditation practice method that allows people to practice magic and learn and use the magic systems he created.
After all, he is a powerful person. It is not enough for him to be strong; his subordinates must also be strong.
After doing this, Takumi returned to Orario.
In that study room, he saw Hestia reading a book.
