Chapter 189
Back at the farm, Leon tossed all the Void Essence into the shipping bin, then flopped down in the cabin. There was nothing left for him to do.
It was getting close to evening, so he didn’t bother checking the TV for his luck forecast or heading into the mines. Fishing didn’t sound appealing either, and after watering the crops, there was nothing else on the farm that needed attention.
Leon was in full idle mode.
Not that idleness was bad. For the past while, Leon had been running around non-stop, his life nothing like the tranquil, pastoral days he once imagined. Now that things had quieted down, he found he actually enjoyed lying around and letting his mind drift.
Still, staying cooped up indoors felt a bit like being in prison. So he headed outside and wandered to the nearby cave to see how far Demetrius had gotten with his renovation project.
Leon’s arrival made Demetrius feel as though he were sitting on pins and needles. After all, no one likes being stared at while working, especially by someone looming behind them with wide, curious eyes.
Demetrius had just finished installing the sixth mycelium culture slot. Under Leon’s silent gaze for a full ten minutes, he finally couldn’t take it anymore. Turning around, he snapped, “Don’t you have anything better to do?”
“Nope.” Leon spread his hands. If only he had a watermelon, he’d have offered Demetrius a slice just for the fun of it.
Demetrius was left speechless. He wanted to tell Leon to help out if he was so free, but after telling him that morning not to interfere, he could only grit his teeth and keep working.
