Portal Settings

Alex stepped through the portal, marveling at the sight before him. The storage room was filled with wooden boxes, each one containing the same strange, exotic fruit he knew all too well from his time playing the game. He carefully plucked a Lirlan fruit from one of the boxes and stepped back through the portal, emerging in his own world. He took a deep breath before taking a bite from the fruit. The sweet and spicy taste of it immediately invigorated him, and he felt his fatigue and exhaustion melt away. It worked! The same effect in the game was now happening to him in real life [Stamina recovery effect]. He couldn't believe it. Alex smiled to himself. He had found a way to turn his life around. He was determined to make the most of this newfound power.

Alex rushed home to the slums, his heart pounding with anticipation. He burst through the door and flew towards his computer, his fingers flying over the keyboard as he logged into Life and Land. Life and Land is a Sandbox Adventure Roleplay Game, it doesn't have a specific goal rather it has many things to do if you are into them. It's a fantasy game so of course it has fantasy elements to it which Alex was actually able to bring to the real world with the portal. He opened the game and moved his character straight to storage room then checked the description on Lirlan Fruit.

{Lirlan Fruit is a sweet and spicy treat, beloved by the royalty. Consuming it will restore 1 point of Stamina and Health.}

After Alex had read about the Lirlan fruit and finally understood why it made him feel so rejuvenated. It had restored his stamina and health, healing any injuries he had. He had only just created his account the night prior, so he only had access to one storage room and his Lirlan Farm, but the fruit was more than enough to make a little money.

Alex was so excited - he had finally come up with a plan to make some money. He was going to be a wholesaler. He spent the evening connecting with supermarkets and fruit sellers online, sending out descriptions and pictures of the new fruit. He was sure that they would be interested. Finally, after hours spent working, he went to bed. He was exhausted.

Alex woke up early the next morning and had a plan. Instead of heading to school, he decided to go directly to the mansion cave to get the Lirlan, He took out all the wooden boxes of Lirlan from the storage room and loaded them up into his car. After the long drive, Alex arrived at home and quickly unpacked the boxes. He turned on his computer and began replanting the Lirlan crops in the game. After that, Alex took a break to weigh the boxes of Lirlan he had taken from the game. Since the game only showed the number of quantity, he had to weigh each box at home with a weighing machine. To his surprise, all 500 Lirlan fruits weighed 10kgs. He priced it at 10$ dollars, knowing that people would be more willing to buy it if it was affordable. Alex repeated the same process of replanting crops and harvesting the plants from the game for the entire day. When he was finally done, he was exhausted. He went to bed and slept soundly.

The next day, Alex chose to skip school yet again and focus on his fruit-selling business. He eagerly checked his phone to see if anyone had ordered any of his Lurlin Fruit online, but unfortunately, there were no replies. With a sigh, Alex grabbed a few pieces of the fruit, and ventured out to a nearby supermarket to see if he could find any customers there.

Alex arrived at The Dash, a local supermarket, with a bag of Lurlin Fruit in hand. He requested to meet with the manager and when the man saw the Red Fruit with yellow star-shaped dots, he was immediately intrigued. "We can't just sell something new without knowing if it will sell or not, sir," the manager hesitated. "Then I will give you fifty kilograms of Lirlan Fruit for free, the first time," Alex offered. "You can see if it gets sold or not. What do you say, mister manager?" The manager agreed and Alex handed over the bag. He suggested that the manager hang a sign that reads: "Removes fatigue," and allow customers to try one for free. After a few moments of contemplation, the manager accepted the offer. Alex had done all he could do, now it was up to the customers to decide if they wanted to give the Lurlin Fruit a try. He hoped that the store would make a profit from the sale of the fruit and that customers would appreciate the unique taste and health benefits it provided. All that was left to do was to wait and see the results.

He returned home and continued his planting and moving process till the sun set and night began.

The next day, Alex received a call from the manager of the Dash Mart. He was pleasantly surprised to hear that the owner had tried some of the Lirlan Fruit and was deeply impressed by its effects. The manager wanted to order fifty kilograms of the fruit, and Alex wasted no time in delivering it. He arrived at the store by eleven o'clock in the morning and returned to the cave, to collect more fruits to take home. In the evening, the Dash Mart manager called him again, this time asking to order another fifty kilograms of Lirlan Fruit. Alex immediately complied and delivered the fruits by six o'clock in the evening. Exhausted, he returned home and fell into a deep sleep. To his surprise, Alex had made $100 that day. The manager explained that the people who had tried the Lirlan Fruit for free the day before had spread the news about it, and it had attracted some new customers. Even the store's owner had tried it and was so impressed that he had taken six or seven kilograms of the fruit home. The manager asked Alex to sign a contract so that the Dash Mart could advertise it as an exclusive fruit sold only at their store. He also requested that they would order at least one hundred kilograms of the fruit every day. Alex agreed to sign the contract, and a new chapter in his life had begun.

Alex was overjoyed after gaining a loyal customer, he now had the means to make a living. His next goal was to get a rental truck so he could move more than 100kgs of Lirlan out of the portal. After some searching, he found a truck rental company that charged 80$ an hour, which was a good deal. However, he decided to negotiate with them, and eventually convinced them to lower their price to 60$ an hour if he signed a contract for the truck for an hour every day for a month. Alex was pleased with the results, but he was still worried that someone would find the portal in the cave. To ensure its secrecy, he decided that his next goal should be to buy the mansion, so that no one else could enter it. He was determined to make this happen, and set off to work towards his next goal.

He turned on the pc and Expanded the Storage room so that he can store more Lirlan Fruits , he also expanded his in game farm from 500 crops to 1000 crops, now he can produce 1000 fruits an hour it means 20 kgs an hour and store 2000 fruits/40kgs an hour in the storage room. He used up all his in game coins for this. One has to know in Life and Land there is no need for the player to buy seeds every time they need to plant a crop , the crops automatically grow in the farm which is supposed to be brought. Which means the player only needs to buy the farmland which will automatically produce a fixed amount of fruits every 60 minutes, Alex only has to invest time in playing the game and expanding his crop to get more Lirlan fruits in real life!! He has no investment but has started unlimited production!!
