"Working over here in the farmland with the scorching sun is exhausting," says Jeremy, as he wipes his sweat off his forehead. He tries to take a break, but he's just blocked by his owner.
"Where do 'ya think you're going," John says with a bright red face.
"I-I'm just taking a break s-sir. . ." Jeremy replies with a sorrowful face, stuttering.
John seems infuriated, he just leaves, crushing his Dr. Madika soda can. Jeremy seems relieved that he wasn't punished for slacking off. He starts working again, hoeing and fertilizing the soil. He takes the watering can from John's porch and starts to sprinkles drops of water on the plants. The water runs out, and he isn't even halfway through watering the crops. He takes a deep breath and sighs.
"Guess I have to go back to the river," he says to himself.
He jogs his way to the river, dodging obstacles such as branches, rocks, and some commoners. He bumps into a citizen, just for him to look up. It was Autumn. He blushes, waving to her love interest.
"H-Hi Autumn. . . how are you?"
"Hi, Jeremy! I'm fine, thanks for asking."
Autumn walks away, skipping with her bright red dress. Jeremy walks to the river, picking up the watering can and filling the can with water. He takes a moment to admire the fresh, green grass, the gorgeous, wide, and tall trees with birds chirping and flowers blooming. He feels relieved seeing nature. It makes him content and calm, so he decided to come here every day after his break. He takes a flower from the ground and keeps it as a special gift for Autumn. He walks back to the town through the giant barrier. He goes back to the farm and waters the other half of the crops. They seem healthy and strong. He plucks a carrot off and munches on it. He knocks and goes into John's abode.
"What do 'ya want."
"I want to deliver these crops I just harvested," he replies.
"Fine, just deliver them soon since I'm having a party in an hour."
Jeremy nods and leaves his house. He needs some spices, so he decides to go to the local store and buy some spices there. The only problem is that he doesn't have much wealth, so he needs to find a way to get quick cash. He decides to sell the crops he made himself, and then with his coins, buy the spices for the Mardinia Soup.
—LATER—
Jeremy sets up his humble store, and customers start rolling in. His prices are fairly cheap, so he needs about 56 more customers for him to be able to accumulate the money needed to form the Mardinia Soup. He starts making his shop, and many customers roll in, only 28 more. He gets almost three-quarters done until John shows up. John takes his cash and leaves with, smirking while saying "Thanks for the payday." Jeremy was furious, as all his hard work was flushed down the drain. He ditches the shop idea, and walks back to the farm, until suddenly, Jeremy gets an idea. . . what if he steals his money back?
