After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

The girl, who resembled the goddess of abundance, raised her head slightly and nuzzled against him, looking quite pleased, and nodded earnestly.

Immediately afterwards...

As the powdery substance fell...

The once barren and parched wheat field suddenly came alive...

The crops, which were originally thin and withered, now seemed to have been nourished by something and became lush and full.

One golden ear of wheat after another emerged from the top of the crop... golden and full.

.......

"What's this?"

The farmer exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment... he no longer had time to think about why such a scene was appearing before his eyes... or why there was a girl in the scene who looked so much like the Goddess of Abundance... or who that man with black hair and black eyes really was...

The farmer's entire attention was focused on the packet of powder in the dark-haired man's hand.

He couldn't help but swallow softly...

If... I could get my hands on this packet of powder...

So... myself, my wife, and my daughter...

Why then should we toil day and night tending those barren fields... praying to Mother Goddess that this season's harvest will be enough to feed the family...

I can be like those noble lords... using surplus grain to build up large granaries... even if a famine unfortunately strikes, I can survive on my stored grain...

And at this moment...

It was as if they had truly heard the farmer's call...

The man turned around and slowly looked at him.

Those were a pair of jet-black eyes...incredibly deep, like a silent, still pool.

In that instant, the farmer felt as if he wasn't making eye contact with someone, but had suddenly returned to his childhood...

Lying on the edge of the field at midnight, I saw... a boundless sea of ​​stars, romantic and dazzling, in the summer night sky.

Its name is... fertilizer...

The black-haired man spoke slowly.

"certainly......"

The calm voice paused slightly, then took on a hint of teasing laughter.

You can also call it...

"Golden Fertilizer"

"fertilizer?"

The farmer's gaze faltered slightly.

But... before the farmer could even think carefully about the meaning of the word.

The next moment, he saw the black-haired man standing in the wheat field slowly glance at him.

Immediately afterwards...

The farmer felt a surge in his brain, and lines of pale gold text and accompanying graphics began to appear before his eyes.

As an ordinary farmer in a small border town, the farmer was illiterate...

Receiving an education was a right that only the offspring of noblemen could enjoy.

But...when those words and images appeared—

The farmer, however, felt a sudden clarity in his mind.

He had never seen those words before, yet in an instant, he understood their meaning.

At the same time, countless fragments of knowledge and memories surfaced in his mind.

......

When the farmer finally recovered from his dazed state, the lush and expansive wheat field before him had vanished.

Along with the girl in the wheat field who resembled the goddess of abundance... and the man with black hair and black eyes, they were also gone.

"Hey—you inside."

"Get out here right now, the church is closing."

The impatient and irritable voice of the church guard reached out, causing the farmer to shake his head and walk out of the church.

"After all, he's a country bumpkin from a remote, impoverished area..."

"Just having the privilege of seeing the Mother Goddess's majesty once... has made me so absent-minded."

The guard's slightly sarcastic remarks rang in the farmer's ears, but he ignored them.

At this moment, the farmer's entire mind was still immersed in that miraculous encounter...

That golden wheat field, and the two people in the wheat field.

Could it be that my devout prayers were heard by the Mother Goddess... and that she responded because of my sincerity?

But... when it comes to the piety of faith...

The most devout believers in town should be the nobles from the city, who frequently donate their wealth to the church...

Even the priests and pastors inside the church, and even the Pope... the farmer had never heard of any of them having the honor of receiving a personal response from the Mother Goddess.

That honor should have been reserved for legendary divine inspirations...

And... if what I experienced before truly came from divine revelation by the Mother Goddess of Abundance...

So, who is the man beside the Mother Goddess?

Why does his status and position seem to... even surpass that girl who resembles the Mother Goddess?

Countless doubts echoed in the farmer's mind.

He initially thought it was just a hallucination caused by extreme exhaustion and mental fatigue...

However, the knowledge that appeared out of thin air in my mind was so clear.

"plant ash......"

Fruit peels, eggshells, hay, pine needles...

"Nitrogen fertilizer, potassium fertilizer..."

As the farmer silently recited the knowledge that had inexplicably appeared in his mind, he also recalled the dreamlike experience he had just witnessed.

The farmland, which should have been dry and barren, was destined to yield a dismal harvest if cultivated normally.

However... after these powders were sprinkled into the soil, they gave rise to a completely different kind of vitality.

"If... I could also replicate that so-called 'fertilizer' in reality..."

In that drafty little hut, such a thought arose in the farmer's mind and then became impossible to stop.

......

A few weeks later...

The farmer looked at the land before him, which was now dark and fertile, a stark contrast to the barren land he had seen before.

And there was the wheat growing well, each grain round and plump...

His dry, rough lips, with slight cracks, trembled slightly.

This was a sight he had never witnessed in his decades of hard work and toil...

The most fertile land on this continent had long been seized by those nobles.

All that's left for ordinary people like them is the most barren land.

But... at this moment, these originally barren lands are radiating a vitality far more abundant than those fertile fields occupied by nobles.

If that's the case...

Not only will his family no longer have to suffer from famine this time, but they will even be able to save some surplus grain.

The surplus grain could be used to cope with possible natural disasters in the coming year, or it could be used to exchange with merchants for some necessities.

He and his family haven't bought any new clothes for over ten years.

"Thank you, Mother Goddess..."

"It has brought abundance to me and my family."

The farmer knelt on the fertile land and devoutly made the sign of the cross on his chest.

"wrong--"

The farmer's prayer suddenly paused slightly.
