Interdimensional Farming in Another World



Alex introduced himself by revealing his name and affiliation to the stone-head tribe. Chitra relaxed after hearing that. 

"You are from the stone head tribe. I don't remember hearing about that tribe. Where are you from?" Chitra consciously deflected the part about them working together. She felt that nothing good would come out of exploring that part of his words. 

"As you already know, I am from the Divine Butterfly tribe. My name is Chitra." She stated while tidying her hair with energy. 

Although she mistook Alex for a homeless individual, she looked like one too. So, she quickly corrected her appearance while Alex talked to the farm AI. She had already dried her body and cleaned it by dispersing energy.

Now, she had already regained her elegant appearance. However, the white robes, which were a little loose for her body, made her look cute simultaneously rather than imposing. 

"Thank you for saving my life. I am extremely grateful to you." Chitra stated while looking directly into Alex's eyes. 

Alex was pleased with these words. He failed to notice that she had deliberately excluded the term 'working together'. 

"So, Can you explain why I see the thing in my vision?"

"Of course I can," Alex replied.

He took some bread and eggs and consumed them in the meantime. 

"You can also have some. I prepared enough for the both of us." He pointed at the food and said.

"And about the thing you are seeing. It is a harmless symbol connecting you with this spatial plane, my interdimensional farm. And it will grant you some amazing abilities." 

"Could you explain why I am connected to this spatial plane? And what does it have to do with pets? I heard you mention the words pets and slave previously." 

Chitra couldn't comprehend what he was saying. 

"Ah, that." Alex realised that he had to tactfully make her understand the pet feature. Angering her could make his life difficult. 

There are three ways to persuade a person. Alex had heard about them in the past. And these ways are called logos, ethos and pathos. 

If he was using logos, he could give a logical explanation. This method can easily convince those who are inclined to logical reasoning.

Ethos depends on the credibility of the person who is doing the persuasion. 

Pathos depends on emotion.

'Explaining this stuff is hard. Was there a difference between a pet and a slave when talking about conscious, intelligent people. Any lies I might say to cover up the current situation would bite me in the back later. That leaves me with only one option. I must tell the truth while sounding as convincing as possible.'

'I have to be reasonable, logical and make her believe it was the only thing I could do to save her from death. I think that might be enough.'

Alex paused to think. He thought deeply about how to convince Chitra. And finally, he began his explanation. 

"You were at death's door. And saving you was impossible with conventional methods. So, I brought you into this space. Here, I used the help of the interdimensional farm to save you. Fortunately, I was the owner of the interdimensional farm. Or else, you would have died then and there."

"However, to bring you into the farm and provide you with the best care. I had to assign you as a pet of the farm." Finally, Alex stated with a simple smile.

"What–"

"But don't worry. It is not at all harmful to you."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because I know it. I can vouch for it with my life."

Alex proclaimed. He was betting on the credibility and trust he built up as the white-robed man to calm the anger of Chitra.

"Can you release me from its binding now? I have completely healed. Wouldn't it be better to release me from the bounds of the 'inter' something 'farm'?" Chitra accurately grasped the situation and asked. 

No one wants to be a pet. And that was the same for Chitra.

"I can. But the advantages it provides are fart to great to dismiss it. Pet is just a technical term that can't harm you. I won't do you any harm. Do you really wish to be unbound from it before you know the abilities it can provide?"

Although Alex's reasoning has a gaping hole, just like a doughnut, he pushes forward to make the best out of the situation. 

Chitra paused after hearing Alex's words. 

After all, the person before her was her saviour. She didn't know what price he paid to save her. She felt a little bad about outright rejecting him.

"What ability? How can it be an advantage?" She asked, not realising that she had already fallen prey to Alex's reasoning. 

Simultaneously, Alex also realised that she was almost convinced by his words. 

'Nice.' He thought. 

"It is better to show you." He stated with a smile. "Let's go." He stood up while saying. He walked away from the chair and began talking with the farm AI.

He wanted to find a way to take Chitra out of the farm. And farm AI gave him simple instructions on how to do that.

As the owner of the interdimensional farm, he could exit with the pet if he just imagined it. It was simple and efficient. 

"Come here." He called out to Chitra.

"We are going to leave the farm space. You might slightly feel nauseous. The sudden change in environment might shock. But don't worry, it's not dangerous." 

"Hmm." Chitra nodded in response.

"Ok, let's begin." Alex went towards Chitra and grabbed her hand. 

This shocked Chitra.

Alex had no reason to hold her hand. He could have teleported out just by imagining it. But he did it anyway. 

*Swish* Alex and Chitra disappeared, leaving behind a vacuum. The air in the surrounding area swiftly came together into the void, creating a swirling burst of wind.

They appeared in the real world instantly. And the location they appeared in was inside Alex's bedroom. 

Chitra lost her footing due to the sudden change in environment. Alex grabbed her tightly in his arms to prevent her from falling to the ground. Suddenly, they were close enough to feel each other's breath. It almost looked like they were hugging. 

Alex felt her finger clutching onto his arms, and their eyes met. Time paused in that awkward moment, neither of them not moving an inch. 

"Cough… Cough…" Suddenly, a gentle cough woke them up from the awkward silence. They scrambled away from each other while trying to find the person who coughed. 

"It seems like I have come at the wrong time. My dear Meru has grown up into a man." The person who coughed commented while looking at the panicking Alex and Chitra. This man was none other than the Mupan of the Stone head tribe. 

He was looking for Alex and came to his house to find him. He called out to Alex many times, but no one was responding. So, he decided to enter the house. 

Meru was like a grandson to him. He didn't feel like it was unusual to enter his house. Thinking he was sleeping, he went directly to the bedroom to wake him up.

But, never in his wildest imagination did he think another person would be with Meru inside the bedroom. He was shocked! And then felt a little happy. 

He wanted to leave them to their devices and quickly find the exit. He thought it would be improper to disturb them if they were doing it. 

However, another pair of eyes also observed Alex and Chitra through the open door. The person displayed a rainbow of colourful emotions, from annoyance to slightly angry.

This person was none other than Kalina. She came to the stone-head tribe to meet Alex. So, she was with Mupan when they entered his home. 

It took a while for Alex to grasp his situation. 

And he had a general understanding of the misunderstanding that might have formed. However, he had no escape from the awkward situation. He could only blame his bad luck. It was, after all, a coincidence. Like Mupan, Alex could have never predicted the scenario playing before him. 

"Hello, Mupan." He called out to Mupan, who was preparing to leave the room. "Don't leave." He said desperately. 

"It's just a misunderstanding." He said with a blush.

Meanwhile, Chitra was also blushing. Her face looked like a ripe apple. 

Finally, Chitra also noticed the presence of Kalina. They had met previously when the prophecy was revealed in the meeting of the nine great tribes. Although they didn't interact much with each other, they could recognise each other. 

'Did she also misunderstand the situation?' Chitra desperately wanted to clear the misunderstanding. 

Meanwhile, Kalina felt like her world came crashing down. It took her a while to recognise Chitra. But once she recognised her, she couldn't fathom what was happening before her.

Chitra was a respectable tier 5 warrior. Someone that would be revered like a god. Why was she in Meru's bedroom? 

She was a person that Kalina respected. A person that she looked up to. 

She was envious of her beauty and strength. 

Her valiant image when she punished the young prince of the volcanic dragon tribe was still fresh in her mind. 

She wanted to be like Chitra in the future. And yet, she came across that person inside Meru's bedroom.

How could her world not come crashing down?
