When I crossed the gate with Hoya, the first thing that greeted me was the seeds I planted.
“Wow, this thing grows so fast?”
The seeds I brought from my parents’ house were green onion, onion, pepper, Chinese cabbage, radish, and strawberry seeds. But they were all grown up.
“Wow, is this strawberry crazy?”
I stared at the strawberry quietly.
-You used the Observation skill.
Name: Island berries.
Strawberries grown on the island. It is a species cultivated here with seeds brought from the other world. The flesh is soft and very sweet. Intelligence increases by 1 when consumed for the first time. If you continue to consume it after that, your intelligence will increase by 1 each time you eat a certain amount.
Observation also looked at all other crops. The strength of digging, the strength of onions, the strength of peppers, the strength of cabbage, the strength of cabbage, and the spirit of biting increase by 1, and an explanation was shown that when consumed steadily, 1 increases.
“what? It’s more than I wanted, but…”
What I wanted in the first place was to grow crops using the time difference between here and the Earth. Five hours here is one hour on earth. And I don’t know if the seasons keep changing or not, but the weather here was summer. Winter crops might not grow, but I thought most crops would grow well. So I brought some seeds and planted them… An unexpected result came out. There must be a difference in time, and perhaps this island or this world is where crops grow quickly. So it’s only been a day since I’m where I am, and the crops must have grown here.
Nyaang.
As expected, Hoya is a cat, so he has no interest in crops.
“Hoya, go get a chicken. huh? If your dad raised you this much, you can do that much, right? is not it?”
Nyan?
Of course, I don’t expect Hoya to come hunting. It just sounds like a joke. After watching Hoya go for a walk, I started harvesting the crops. And since I don’t know the process of replanting… I’ll have to look into it again.
– Your dexterity has risen by 1.
As expected, dexterity seems to come from various things.
“Should I check my status first?”
[ Siwoo Choi (Level 8)]
Pet: Hoya.
Strength: 26, Dexterity: 21, Intelligence: 19, Spirit: 16,
Stamina: 27, Dexterity: 4.
Remaining points: 0.
Skills: Calm down (passive) 2 levels, observation (active) 1 level, cooking (active) 2 levels, fishing (active) 1 level.
Certainly, my abilities are higher than Sunwoo’s. Although Sunwoo was 1 level higher than me. Still, the story that Sunwoo was in charge of the waist in Hunter was quite fresh.
“By any chance, is there such a thing as a gate owner’s buff? Do you think so? Because the gate is supposed to protect the owner of the gate?”
I had a sudden thought. The gate disappears when the gate owner dies. In other words, the gate owner is needed for the gate to survive. So, isn’t the gate trying to protect the owner of the gate in order to survive on its own?
“Well, this is just my imagination.”
I just thought it might be. I’m harvesting like that, but another notification pops up.
-Farming (active) level 1, skill has been created.
“Wow, should I go back to farming now?”
Of course, the gate is here, but returning to farming is hard. It’s not like I’m hanging myself at the gate, but there’s no reason to leave my house alone and go somewhere else when the air inside the gate is so good.
“I’ll have to go to my father and help him with the farming.”
My father doesn’t do much farming. Even if you returned to farming in the first place, you weren’t a farmer from the beginning, so you couldn’t farm a lot.
But something amazing happened. Suddenly, you know how to grow them again. I had never farmed in my life.
“You even know that it would be better to plant the land this way this way than to plant it here?”
Until now, even if I had a skill, I didn’t feel that anything had changed. However, this ‘farming’ skill was different.
“Wow, a skill is really a skill.”
It’s something I didn’t feel while fishing and cooking. I think it’s really amazing. I planted the crops in such a way that I could grow them again according to the knowledge that came to me. Turn the ground over a little more, and do this and that. Hoya returned while I was spending a couple of hours farming.
“Wow.”
I couldn’t help but be surprised to see Hoya. Hoya listened to me and really hunted.
cluck, cluck.
They even brought it here in a fresh, alive state. That’s six chickens.
“This, that’s it.”
They looked like chickens with whom I was acquainted. The chicken that commissioned the National Institute of Science. However, there is a slight difference, but the size is smaller than those guys.
“Are you a chick?”
As I looked at the six chickens, a notification popped up.
-You used the Observation skill.
Name: Island Chicken (Level 1).
It is a chicken that grows wild on the island. The flesh is chewy and very tasty. Agility rises by 2 when consumed for the first time. After that, if you continue to consume it, your Agility will increase by 1 each time you eat a certain amount.
“It is different.”
In the case of Bran chicken, it had the effect of restoring energy, but this one raises the ability.
“Are all the kids in my neighborhood unified by raising their stats? I don’t think it’s something that comes out elsewhere.”
I thought maybe this was the singularity of this gate. And I feel like I have to hide this part even more. Like Sunwoo said.
“Hoya, have you been hunting them?”
Nyaang.
Hoya cried like that and pushed the chicken towards me with his front paws. Island chickens sneak up on me with a lot of fear. Normally, it would be normal to be afraid of people rather than small cats, but compared to level 48 Hoya, I, a level 8 human, would seem much easier.
“Come here, you guys.”
First of all, I want to raise this island chicken rather than catch and eat it. I’ll have to check their fertility as well.
“Should I build a fence first? If that’s the case, bring the tree.”
I took an axe. And headed to the forest on the island.
“Hey, let’s go.”
Nyaang.
I have to take Hoya to the forest. because it can be dangerous Of course it is necessary. Because I’m just a weak office worker.
“By the way, hey. Will I be good at throwing an axe?”
I never did it when I was in the military. Shoveling is the basics of the Korean military, so I tried it to the point of getting tired of it, but axeing is actually something I don’t have much to do.
“Hoya, if Daddy is in danger, should you step in instead?”
Nyaang.
While answering, Hoya jumped up and landed on my shoulder. It feels like a hunter with a hawk on his shoulder, but it’s not bad. And what is surprising is that even though Hoya is on the top, I don’t feel any sense of weight.
“Since my father’s strength has just increased, our Hoya feels as light as a feather. Is not it?”
Nyaang.
Hoya acts cute while rubbing his hair in my face. I definitely think that our Hoya is like a child with passive cuteness. I just wanted to go for a walk with Hoya on my shoulder like this, but I need to get to the tree quickly. I have to build a fence to confine the island chickens.
The odd thing is that Hoya stopped me from entering the forest. So I had to cut down the trees that fell off and grew on the outskirts of the forest.
-Skill Logging (Active) Level 1, skill has been created.
-Skill processing (active) level 1, skill has been created.
-Skill Livestock (Active) Level 1, skill has been created.
Three skills were created in the process of making a fence out of wood and putting island chickens into it. And dexterity went up by 3.
“Certainly, it means that the actions I take are made into skills and I get rewards.”
This is a little bit of fun. The fun part is that when a child does something, he gets a reward for it. As a human being, when you do something, you have to be rewarded for it to have motivation.
In that respect, I think this gate is a very good place for me.
“It’s fun.”
It is interesting. Even if you don’t do anything special after entering the gate, it’s really fun. So I am happy with the current situation.
“Hoya, shall we live here?”
Nyaang!
Hoya seems to be refusing. Well, since he’s been here for a while, he probably doesn’t like it.
“I’m sorry, but Dad doesn’t mind anywhere as long as he’s with Hoya, right?”
Nyaang.
Hoya burrows into my arms. Then it starts kneading my leg. Kumkkuk refers to the act of pressing down as if massaging the area around the breast to make the milk come out well when suckling the mother’s milk. Usually, this is an act that makes the cat completely trust and affectionate. It’s a part where the habit of being a baby remains, and it’s also a bit saddening in a way. The cat’s act of thinking of the object as its mother is a bit heartbreaking.
Hoya likes to knead me. I’m working very hard…
“Uh.”

Just cool Is it because the child is getting stronger? If you put your mind to it, you might be able to kill it with a bite.
I’m starting to get sleepy as I’m getting so much sleep. I don’t feel tired because my stamina has increased, but I’m sleepy.
***
I did this and that at the gate and even went fishing and caught a big rainbow fish. I wanted to bring the island chicken, but I decided to watch it a little longer.
I packed the rainbow fish and headed to my parents’ house. Like Seonwoo said, it was because I thought that I should definitely pay attention to the safety of my family.
“Of course, there is no way right now.”
There is only one thing I can do now. Making the family eat as much as possible of things that increase the ability that can be obtained from the gate.
Even if there is no skill, the ability seems to be applied, so basically raising the ability to endure would be the means I can do right now.
“Why do you come here so often?”
My father likes it, but speaks bluntly. I think this is usually the tendency of fathers. In most novels, fathers have this kind of personality.
“Eat some of this.”
“Where do you keep bringing unusual things from?”
“It is said to be good for the body, so eat it right away. When will Si-yeon come?”
“It is time to come. Let’s go in because mom is inside.”
“yes.”
After waiting for Siyeon to come, we had a delicious dinner as if we were having a party again. I can’t say that my family has become safe with this, but I feel that if I continue to raise my family’s ability like this, it will become more and more safe.
“Siwoo.”
After dinner, my father calls me.
“yes.”
“Gate…?”
I was a little taken aback by my father’s question for the first time in a long time.
