Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

Page 4

With the same expression a toad has when it first sees the sky outside a well, it looks at the machine with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Although Machi didn't say anything, she was also staring intently at the machine.

Chapter 005 [Sticky Rice Cake Maker]!

"This is a sticky rice cake making machine."

Mog, who had invented it, clapped his hands and whispered:

"Didn't you want to eat sticky rice cakes? So I invented this machine."

Invention: Sticky Rice Cake Making Machine

Source: Doraemon World - Future Technology Company.

Many of the gadgets in Doraemon were invented by Future Technology Corporation and the famous doctor.

As is well known, products that can be sold on the outside market are all within a controllable range.

"An invention? You're calling this sudden appearance of a machine an invention??"

Uvogin's eyes widened; he wasn't someone who knew nothing.

He understood the meaning of the word "invention".

But~~~

He had no idea that the so-called "invention" was actually the situation right before his eyes!

"Don't worry about the details."

Mog waved his hand. "The important thing is that we can have sticky rice cakes, isn't it?"

"you're right……"

Uvogin nodded subconsciously, then paused, startled.

The other party's sudden act of "invention" was beyond his ability to think, leaving him somewhat at a loss as to how to discern its nature.

Uvogin subconsciously glanced at Machi and found that she was also staring intently at the "sticky rice cake making machine".

Well, now that they've brought out this machine, there's really no need to worry about anything else.

Because Uvogin could sense that the boy seemed to have become a bit weaker after the machine came out.

"So how do you make sticky rice cake from this?"

Uvogin patted the manufacturing machine with his large hand, producing a dull thud.

"Sticky rice cakes are made with glutinous rice, of course."

Mog gave him a strange look.

"So, this broken thing still can't just conjure up sticky rice cakes out of thin air, right?"

In Uvogin's eyes, the function of this "sticky rice cake making machine" instantly became that of scrap metal.

"I don't know what kind of machine it is outside, but if it still needs glutinous rice..."

Wokin looked the machine up and down. "Let alone glutinous rice, we don't even have the rotten husks of some brown rice."

"However, if this thing were taken apart, these sheet metal parts might fetch a good price."

Uvogin's eyes showed obvious eagerness, and this special gain immediately improved his mood.

He even turned around with interest: "So, how about it? After we sell them, I'll share some of the profits with you... Hmm??"

He was slightly taken aback when he saw what had reappeared in Mog's hand:

"What are these?!"

"The materials used to grow glutinous rice."

"...You invented it too?"

"if not?"

Mog replied matter-of-factly, "You can't make sticky rice cakes without glutinous rice, so you have to grow the glutinous rice first."

Growing glutinous rice...?!

Uvogin felt that such a sentence sounded out of place in Meteor City.

In a place like Meteor City, is there even such a thing as "planting"?!

Besides, doesn't it take a very long time to grow this stuff?!

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and plant the rice!"

Mog casually tossed the long, green capsule toward Uvogin.

The latter hurriedly took it.

"This is called 'rice seedlings in a capsule,' and it contains the raw materials for growing rice."

Before Uvogin could ask any questions, Mog explained.

Then, he took out a small green tube again.

Gently pull the rope below.

Whoosh~~~Bang.

A fiery red artificial sun rose into the sky and bloomed.

Under the watchful eyes of Uvogin and Machi, a miniature sun formed.

This is the "indoor sun" that helps seedlings grow.

I don't know if it's because it's my first time inventing something, but in addition to the [sticky rice cake making machine], I also invented a lot of extra accessories along with it!

boo~

Mog then took out the [cloud in the bottle] under the stunned gazes of Uvogin and Machi, and opened the bottle cap directly.

And the most important thing~~~

"【Cloud Scarecrow】, and..."

Mog spread the damp field map out onto the floor of the room with both hands:

"【Super Miniature Rice Paddy】."

In this rice paddy, even the fertilizer has been prepared.

"That completes the initial preparations~~~"

Mog wiped the sweat from his face and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Well, inventing so many gadgets was somewhat unexpected for him, and it caused him considerable strain.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that Uvogin's request was for "food sticky rice cake".

The things he invented were not machines that simply conjured up sticky rice cakes out of thin air.

It requires planting and cultivating the rice cakes yourself, and then putting them into the manufacturing machine to make them.

Despite the many cumbersome steps involved, it made it possible for me to afford the costs of so many inventions.

"In other words, inventions that directly achieve their purpose will consume more resources, but if they require additional manual intervention, then the costs will be less."

Mog gained a deeper understanding of his own abilities.

"Even so, the consumption is still quite high. We still need to find a way to reduce this consumption using [Constraints and Oaths]..."

Chapter 006 Bringing Uvogin and Machi to Plant Rice Seedlings

That's what I was thinking, but my hands didn't slow down at all.

After laying down such a large, fertile field, Mog glanced at Uvogin and the other man, who were still standing there in a daze:

"What are you all standing there for?! Hurry up and plant the rice seedlings!!"

Uvogin: "???"

Before he could react, Mog had already walked up to him and opened the capsule containing the seedlings in his hand.

Then he divided the seedlings into three parts, handing two portions to Uvogin and Machi respectively.

"Like this, plant the seedlings in the ground."

Mog even took the lead in demonstrating, rolling up his trousers and stepping into the muddy rice paddy to plant the seedlings.

Uvogin: "..."

They really planted the seedlings right there on the spot?!

Is it even possible for something like this to happen in Meteor City?!

This was completely contrary to Uvogin's long-held survival rules in Meteor City, and it was the first time that his thinking had clashed with them.

So much so that when he looked at the tiny rice seedlings in his hand, which he could easily hold in one hand, he was at a loss for what to do.

"If you don't know what to do, just learn from her~~~"

Mog immediately noticed that Uvogin seemed unsure of what to do with his hands and feet, and pointed to Machi next to him, saying something to him.

Machi?

Uvogin subconsciously looked at his inseparable partner.

Then you see Machi's small, thin figure already walking into the rice paddy.

Although his technique was clumsy and unfamiliar, he still managed to plant the seedlings in his hands in a decent manner, just like Mog.

Upon seeing this, Uvogin remained silent for a moment, and then grinned.

It's just planting rice seedlings, right?!

If this silly kid and Machi can do it, why can't Grandpa Uvogin do it?!

Without hesitation, he stepped directly into the rice paddy.

"You're too big, go over there and insert it."

"Make sure you insert it accurately, don't leave it crooked or uneven!"

"There needs to be enough space between the seedlings, otherwise they won't grow properly!"
