Chapter 29 - Agricultural Orcs.
Shawn was still stunned at this new information the system had given.
"So how many worlds are out there?" he said.
*There are a lot of worlds out there*
"Ok this is a lot to take in but I am going to watch my world and do what I can to reach the next rank" He said.
*Good luck on that creator Shawn*
Shawn smiled before turning to look at Ornio.
"I know what I need to do" he whispered to himself before giving out an order,
"System fast forward the world by 200 years"
He heard the sounds of coins being removed and saw 1,000 CP drain from his balance.
*Deducting 1,000 CP. Fast forwarding world by 200 years*
The World of Ornio began spinning and rolling for a while before it stopped. "Now, check the statistics''

"That is a lot to take in" Shawn looked at the world in shock. "I should never underestimate the power of that population boom," he said.
"Let's see what new things have been going on over the past 200 years" he then sat on the couch and watched as the events began to play out.
In the north east of the northern continent, the dry lands of the north were filled with the bathing of the hot sun.
Around the deserts were oases that managed to survive the excruciating heat and high evaporation rate of water and nearly every living thing that lived there.
Close to a sand dune, lies a large oasis that managed to impressively create a vast area of vegetation with a size of about 30,000 km².
Within its lush vegetation lies the race of orcs. And a few other oases and forests in the desert contained orcs but this one for sure contained a truly vast amount of them.
In one area of the oasis, there were various buildings constructed from mud and wood to resemble shacks with thatched round roofs while also laying beside a large body of water.
They provided shade to the residences of the Ulok clan who were lovers of the oasis freshwater.
Evening came over this side of the world and the Ulok tribe's hunting party returned to their tribes and went to the oasis.
Some hunters dipped their heads into oasis water while some brought it up to themselves using their hands. They also cleaned their fingers and washed parts of their arms by helping their fellow comrades who couldn't.
"Who would have thought that these orcs actually care about hygiene?" Shawn commented.
He could literally skip to any other tribe in the oasis or other oasis's. However, he was somehow intrigued and felt that he would be impressed so he kept on watching. The Ulok orcs had these practices continuing for the rest of their lives trying so hard to clean themselves every morning that they woke up and returned from hunting.
Then one day, one of the orcs came close to the water and upon closer inspection, Shawn noticed that the orc had a little more hair than the rest of her kind but was shorter.
"A young female"
The female orc closed her eyes as she touched the water. The reaction between the water and her hands wasn't strange as the water rippled.
Every day, this female orc would go to the oasis and play with the water. She somehow tried to understand the use of water by playing with it.
One day, while taking her ration of food which included desert berries. She who played in the water suddenly spat out the seeds of one berry onto her hands and threw them onto the ground with nearby soil.
It was at that moment that a small bird came out of nowhere and perched on the seeds, sending them deeper into the ground. The bird then proceeded to use its claws to move soil to use in covering the holes.
The female orc watched this and was impressed. A few days later, She recognized that the seed that had been sunk deeper into the ground had grown into a seedling.
Happy at this new change, she also tried planting the seeds from the berries that came with her ration.
She planted them with her hands and sunk it deeper into the soil before covering it up.
The seed was close to the oasis. In a few days, it had sprouted. The female orc was wondering what could have impacted the seed to grow if it was planted away from water so she did a little experiment and planted seeds a large distance away from the oasis freshwater and one close to the oasis freshwater.
It recognized that there were differences in the sprouting days. From then on the little orc now grown into a young female orc concluded that the soil needed a constant supply of water before it sprouted.
She also started using the seeds of other plants and fruits available while experimenting with them.
The Orc chief noticed the weird behavior of the young female orc and tried to understand what she was doing.
He came with a domineering attitude demanding to know what she was doing. The female orc showed the orc chief the experiments that she had been taking.
And in a few years, the Ulok orcs were seen digging the ground close to the oasis with their hands and throwing a bunch of seeds into the holes they dug before covering it up. Then they proceeded to go to the oasis and draw water with their hands before spraying it onto the various holes.
The orcs never really appreciated the idea of planting that was until their population boom arrived and the rations became less for everyone. The food around just wasn't enough as the oasis was not expansive enough for a larger food supply.
After all, there were other tribes that lived there.
This was the act of planting and it was to become something that they had to use.
Shawn looked at the scenes in utter shock and rubbed his hands before looking at the scene again.
"Ok it was a good idea putting those blue birds there but who would have thought that orcs would actually wash themselves and practice planting? When did orcs even have the desire for planting and have such patience to let nature take its course?" He said.
Over the course of the 200 years population boom period, Shawn watched the Ulok orcs reduce their dependence on meat and actually practicalize planting and farming.
"System, what is the name of that female orc that made all of this possible? Is she capable of being a higher being?" He asked.
*Check for yourself*
After checking the higher beings potential list and scrolling, he found what he wanted to see. "Zoguz. An orc in the Ulok tribe that invented planting which later became farming. She costs 900CP!!!"
*Since this orc managed to deviate from what the initial nature of the orcs were, she costs a lot higher than you give her credit for*
"Whatever. I'll pay" Shawn said.
*Deducting 900 CP*
A bright light flashed in front of Shawn and a reddish brown orc with decent long hair for a female appeared in front of him.
"Master Shawn" Zoguz greeted with a bow and Shawn accepted it with a nod.
"I am impressed by what you have done for your kind. If your tribe grew too big and disrupted the ecosystem of the oasis I am not sure if the consequences will be bearable for them" he said.
"Thank you for your praise, master," Zoguz answered with a smile.
"Good. Now go ahead and do whatever you want in the physical realm as long as it's not destructive or dangerous and also your domain is agriculture and water. I'll give you more if you can unlock them"
"Yes master Shawn" Zoguz then turned into a bright flash of light and disappeared from his view.
"Now onto the southern continent!"
The image on the screen changed to the eastern snow and frozen lands of the southern continent.
The ice plains mixed along with the taiga biome inhabited by the thorns was a place that might be considered a habitable place but not for the inhabitants here who ate the many plants that actually survived the constant cold climate.
But north of the eastern lands which was close to the hills of the dwarves had a strange look. The ground was blue instead of white.
The blue skinned Thawns that walked over these places knew what exactly made the area of the ground this colour, it was the crystals and also at the same time salt.
The thawing process of weathering done by the snow did make the rocks disintegrate further. The rocks were also a bit shiny in colour.
These rocks would one day be what made them great.
