One soul two bodies

09. Virtual farm

But pots were literally so empty, that even in two were spider webs.
Suddenly she remembered something. "You said virtual farm?"
*Yes. Virtual farm has only currently two spots to plant. What do you want to plant?*
"Fastest... What is fastest to grow?" Gina was almost laughing. Virtual farms are rare. They are literally something that helped some people grow plants and become rich people as they could sell those pesticide free supplies.
But in last few years, no one got one virtual farm.
*Fastest to grow are radishes in twenty eight seconds. Carrots in one minute and twenty seconds, spinach fifty seven seconds...*
Suddenly whole list of things could be seen.
"Can those virtual plants be sold and exchange for other things?" She played similar game that had trading option.
*Yes. But you can get farm expansion for living animals, farm and more.*
Like in farming game?
"Can I take out the planted vegetables to eat?" She already planted in both pods the radishes as their seeds were for free as others you had to pay.
*Yes. It's real farm, just in space station.*
Her lips twitched. So that is what they meant virtual world. It's actually in space station but she had to start from start to grow it herself and is transported to reality.
No wonder this creature said she can't give up original body.
"How far from destination?" She was curious how much time she had to help these kids survive.
*2hrs 16min 26 sec.*
"Good." While she checked the pots, she saw some salt in tiny pot and went to the pot with water.
It looked stale but clean.
She still didn't want to take chances. "Can I get some water from virtual farm. I really have no plan to get sick."
*There was 68% chance to get sick from water. It contains streptococcus...*
Whole list of various bacteria showed on screen making her lips twitch. What the heck?
*You can store this water away and with that the bacteria would get killed. Your storage has currently five spots, so you can use it that way.*
That is reason why virtual planting was safe as no bacteria, no worms or bugs or even weeds were shown on those plots of land.
While she summoned and summoned back water, children were sitting in room and talking.
"Mom is back, but what should we eat? Should we go to beg?" The older one was considering.
"No. Father forbade begging. He said better to starve then to beg." The younger one refused.
Gina almost started crying as she heard their conversation and poked her head out. "No begging. I'm maybe not as strong as your father, but I'll find way to feed us. Can you trust mom as well? I just need to rest after eating."
Eating?
They suddenly saw two white turnips in her hands and saw her turning around.
Feeding these children is a must.
Her late husband as it seems gathered enough coal so she lit it up and started fire.
There might not be industrialization but she saw fire sticks and that meant they at least didn't use stones to hit like cave people.
Fire was lit quite fast and she quickly cleaned the turnips, cut them in cubes and in time between the carrot and onion grew up. Oh yes, always only one per plot.
But she planted more for later...
