Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-52

"Hmm… what food should I grow?" Ning started thinking. He had only thought about the other aspects for now and had only chalked it up to growing fruits at the end. But only growing fruits wasn't a very good idea.

A human body needed 6 forms of nutrients, and fruits only gave 2 of them, Vitamins and Minerals; he could get fruits from the forest. He could get Fat and Proteins from the meats and fishes, and water was available everywhere for now.

So the thing he needed was Carbohydrates. He thought through agricultural knowledge and decided to grow potatoes. They were the most versatile food to cook, and to these people with no pots and pans, they were the best.

'System, create a KG of potatoes I can grow here,' he said.

<1 KG of potatoes cost 2,000,000 Energy, are you sure?>

'Eh, it's not a lot. Buy it,' he ordered.

Out of nowhere, dozens of small potatoes appeared in front of him. He immediately used telekinesis to slowly put them on the ground.

"Now I just chop them up and bury them right?" he thought. That was what he learned from his studies back on earth, so he was a little worried if that was correct.

'Uh, let's not rush it. System, show me information on how to grow potatoes,' he asked.

The system showed 5 different levels of knowledge and he decided to buy the intermediate version for 3,000,000 energy just to make sure.

'Oh, eyes huh? Guess I will have to let them be for a few more days then,' he thought. He learned that the potatoes could be planted wholly to grow a new potato plant, but you could also wait for a few days to see small buddings around the potato known as eyes to just use that part to grow the potatoes.

That way, he could make multiple plants out of a single potato.

"I was correct about cutting them up. However, I just didn't know where exactly to cut them."

He wanted to do a couple of trips to the ocean to fill up the new grounds made by Hyesi, but he was low on energy and decided against it.

"Guess I have nothing to do here," he thought as he looked around. He kept the potatoes inside his storage and looked around for Hyesi. He found Hyesi outside the valley, gathering some lengthy sticks, and leaves.

"What are you doing?" he asked looking at the unusual scene.

"Oh, Inikaka. I am gathering these sticks to make more weapons in the village, and these leaves for guarding your home. It is currently just using the scraps from the island to do so.

"That's not a bad idea," Ning said. "Alright, Let's leave now."

He grabbed onto Hyesi and teleported away. He didn't want to waste extra energy, so he teleported to the edge of the island.

"You go take these back, I will come back with water," Ning said.

"Water? What for, Inikaka?" he asked.

"You'll see," Ning left the curious Hyesi in the dark and walked towards the ocean. He felt a little worried that the demon would jump right out, but thankfully, it didn't. He just grabbed as much water as it would fit in his body and ran back, catching up to Hyesi within a minute.

Hyesi who was just walking slowly saw Ning coming towards him and asked, "Where's the water, Inikaka?"

"It's with me, don't worry," Ning said and walked forward making Hyesi speed up as well.

They reached the village center in a few minutes and Ning made Hyesi call everyone out. At that point, Ning fell into thought.

'I can't keep doing this forever, right? At some point, I will have to leave the village to explore the rest of the world. If I just feed them for now, they will only be fed for now. However, if I teach them how to feed themselves, they can feed themselves forever.'

"I guess it is time for me to teach these people."

He looked at the gathered villagers and asked, "Does anyone have anything important to do right now?" he asked.

Everyone shook their heads. "No? Then from today on, every day, I will teach you 3 things."

"Number 1, I will teach you how to read and write. "

"Number 2, I will teach you how to get your own food and water."

" And finally, Number 3. I will teach you guys how to Qi cultivate."

The villagers were shocked and confused. None of them knew what reading and writing were, or what Qi cultivation was. But hearing that their god would teach them how to get their own food and water, they were a little shocked. Did their god not know that they were already capable of that?

The chief walked in front and spoke, "Lord Inikaka, I understand your wish to spread knowledge, but we are perfectly capable of finding our own fish to eat and finding our own coconut to drink water. There is also little water in the hole you made us dug. I don't see why we would need to learn that."

Ning simply shook his head and said, "That is what you think." He asked the system to make a small Metallic bucket that cost him a little over 10 Million energy. The bucket could hold about 10 liters of water.

The villagers were shocked that he could create something out of nothing but didn't really think a lot about it as it was just a miracle done by their gods.

Ning put the bucket on the ground in front of him and put his hands on top of it. Suddenly, water sprouted from his hands, falling onto the bucket, filling it up very quickly.

Ning called the chief over as he said, "Drink this."

The chief obeyed his god's orders and walked up front, sweeping water from the bucket and drinking it. Immediately, his eyes turned wide as he started coughing loudly.

"Inikaka, this is seawater."
