I knew it! I hadn’t been mistaken.

“Is this for real?!”

It just looked like grass, but what I had gathered was in fact paddy, or unhulled rice. I was no expert, but I was pretty sure if you removed the husks from these, you’d get brown rice, which you could then polish to get white rice.

“Think of the possibilities... I can make so many Japanese dishes I’d given up on until now!”

What a huge discovery! This had to be the biggest discovery to date in all my hours playing this game.

There were those players who would see others getting so worked up over soy sauce, rice, and sweets and say stuff like “Why do you want to eat rice so badly in a game? You can just eat that in real life.” But they must have been people who didn’t practice any moderation or were the unique sorts who could eat as much as they wanted without gaining weight.

The biggest reason people were so obsessed with recreating Japanese food in-game was: “No matter how much you eat, you don’t gain weight.”

There were people who were dieting IRL or who couldn’t eat their favorite foods for medical reasons. Even without such pressing reasons, there were also many people who just wanted to save money or refrain from overeating and overdrinking to watch out for their health. For those players, being able to eat their favorite foods in the game was a fairly important matter.

Incidentally, in LJO you could eat as much as you wanted irrelevant to your fullness, though the effects of the food would be wasted. This was apparently a surprisingly big appeal of the game.

As people progressed through the game and more and more real-life foods were recreated, there’d also probably be an increase in players who were aiming for that. Even just being able to eat as much rice as you want would be enough of a selling point. That was how huge, huge, huge a discovery this was.

“Now I can eat as many rice bowl dishes as I want!”

I’ll mass-produce them to the point that the price plummets! I need to get Olto to grow these!

“Hey, Olto! You can grow this, right?”

“Mm.”

“Huzzah!”

I never doubted him!

This is the best! And that’s an understatement!

“I-I need to buy more hydroponic pools... Dang it, I don’t have enough farms! No wait, I’ll buy a farm in South Gate. I don’t think I’ve reached my limit yet.”

Thanks to my guild rank leveling up, I could buy more farms. I’ll build a great big paddy field and become a rice farmer!

“Could I use my home base garden too? I should be able to expand it. Also, I can clear out some of the weeds and put in a field—Grrk?!”

While I was getting excited thinking about all the possibilities, I felt a strong impact against my back and I was sent flying forward a few meters. I involuntarily let out a weird sound. I turned around to see one of those bastards from earlier behind me.
