"Wait... this pocket farm-can it respond to my thoughts?" Eliza frowned, glancing around the expanded space.

All she'd wanted was a few bookshelves. Yet the entire space had transformed dramatically, almost as if it had evolved due to some hidden trigger. She mentally retraced everything she had done leading up to the change, but came up empty.

If the farm could evolve once, it could surely do so again. Next time, she'd pay closer attention.

She made her way back to the cabin-no, not a cabin anymore. It had become a towering loft.

Inside, the structure was now split into seven levels, each with distinct purposes,

The first and second floors were dedicated to medicinal herbs and poisonous compounds. The first floor held all manner of medical ingredients, with workbenches for grinding, brewing, and writing prescriptions-all fully equipped, from inkstone to paper, ready for use. The second floor mirrored the layout, except its shelves were filled with toxic substances,

It was obvious these two levels were crafted for her-to aid her in mastering both medicine and poison.

The third and fourth floors were a library. The third contained books she had personally brought in, but the fourth... those books seemed to belong to the pocket farm itself. A strange force barred her from reading many of them, like a restriction placed on her current abilities.
