Bai Li, an Agricultural Deity from the immortal world, traveled to the Interstellar era where land is scarce and his farming soul is burning. In a world full of were-people who can turn into many d...
After being shocked, Bai Li said righteously: "Silly child, you think too much. Your family will still be worried. When you return, you should contact them as soon as possible."
Song Xinran puffed her cheeks and said, "Okay then, I'll send a message to my parents when I get back."
The discussion about running away from home has come to a temporary halt.
Now that the conversation has started, Song Xinran still wants to share with Bai Li about his genius brother who ran away from home earlier than him and was called "the other people's child" by others.
It turned out that Song Xinran's family was a large family with many talented people. Most of them had animal genes and they were all of the same animal type, which made their family more cohesive. The people in the family were very smart, the kind of smart people who could make plans in the rear during the war. When the war was over and the interstellar people returned to normal life, their business talents gradually emerged.
The brother who ran away from home he was talking about was the most talented one in the family in the past hundred years. It was said that he possessed illusion skills that surpassed ancient and modern times. Under the cover of fog, he could move his mind at will and become another person, and the people around him could not detect it at all.
This talented boy from the family went to the battlefield secretly when he was ten years old, and played a huge role in several major battles that year at such a young age. However... fate seemed to be particularly harsh on those with outstanding talents. When his family found him, he had already suffered from gene collapse disease, and it had entered the middle and late stages in a short period of time. His parents could only send him to "Hope Star" with tears in their eyes, intending to let him recuperate on that planet to slow down the collapse of his genes. After that, they would visit him several times a month.
The matter should have ended here, and the genius of a generation would become an ordinary person, even worse than an ordinary person. Unfortunately... this guy actually "escaped from prison" when no one was paying attention. Before leaving, he left a letter saying that he was going to find a way to completely eradicate gene collapse disease, and asked his family not to worry about him, and he would come back naturally when his goal was achieved.
How could they not be worried! When they first discovered that he was missing, almost the entire family went out to search for him all over the galaxy. However, he was too good at hiding, or he had completely hidden himself through his innate abilities. In short, after searching for half a year, they didn't even find a trace of him.
Finally, the family could only grit their teeth and accept his words, waiting for him to come back at home. Now three years have passed, but he still hasn't come back, and that person's name has gradually become a taboo for the whole family.
Bai Li listened silently on the side. Although Song Xinran only gave a general idea and did not specify the brother's name, he still imagined the high-spirited years of the young genius from the other party's description. While feeling that it was a pity, he could not help but be curious about what was going on in the other party's mind, where he was now, and when he would come back.
"Since he and your family have said that he will not be in danger, then you just need to wait patiently. Who knows, just as he said, when he comes back one day, genetic collapse disorder can be completely eradicated!" Bai Li comforted softly.
Song Xinran was really a child who was easily satisfied. After listening to Bai Li's words, he nodded heavily and gave Bai Li an optimistic smile.
Because the smile was too dazzling, the Supreme in Bai Li's arms felt his paws itchy again. He really wanted to give this talkative half-stranger a cat punch.
After talking about the more private family matters, it’s time to get back to the topic.
Bai Li raised the question of whether or not to enable olfactory and taste synchronization during live broadcasts, and wanted to hear Song Xinran's opinion.
"Of course we can't open it!" Song Xinran suddenly started to quibble. "Now the most famous item in Master's game is the 'vegetable basket' in the game mall. You only need to spend 100 star coins every day to eat ten delicious dishes you've never tasted before. If the synchronization of these two senses is opened, the audience can eat them directly. What if they get tired of it after a long time and don't want to play Master's game anymore?"
A game without players will not last long, not to mention that from what he has learned so far, the master still has to rely on "Your Farm" to make money to support himself and the super gluttonous Supreme. If what he said really became a reality, it would undoubtedly put the master's life in a very bad situation, which Song Xinran did not want to see.
"But... if you don't turn it on, the effect of your live broadcast will probably not be very good. After all, the audience must have some purpose in watching the live broadcast. If their wishes are not met, they will be disappointed, right?" Bai Li expressed his concerns.
Song Xinran's firm thoughts were slightly shaken. It seemed that what the master said made sense.
"Then... Master, can you open it a little bit?"
"Well, open it a little bit then."
After another five minutes of discussion, the master and apprentice finally decided to open the taste synchronization and smell synchronization by 30% each. This will allow the audience to smell or taste flavors that are different from reality, while not making these flavors too exaggerated, which will attract interstellar audiences and make them wish they could travel into the game to experience it for themselves.
After finishing the discussion, it's time to get back to work.
"Master, I'm leaving first. See you in the game. I'll come to your house to find you then!" Song Xinran said goodbye to Bai Li.
"Well, you go back first. Remember to report safety to your family. There is no rush for the game." Bai Li reminded him again considerately.
Song Xinran nodded and said okay, then quickly went back to the next room.
After finishing his housework, Bai Li took Zhi Zun to lie down in the game cabin. Before his consciousness was immersed in the game, Bai Li unconsciously hugged Zhi Zun to his side and muttered, "Zhi Zun, you seem to have gained weight again."
The cat, who was already as long as an adult's forearm, froze, and was overwhelmed by the overwhelming grievances. How could he be fat? He was obviously strong!
With a "pop", the pad of meat stuck to the human's face.
Just as the game cabin was officially launched, the man and the cat maintained this action to enter the star network and the game.
On the other side, after taking several deep breaths, Song Xinran dialed the video call to his father.
It was picked up almost in a second.
A man's full-throated voice came from the virtual screen: "Zizi, you finally contacted us!?"
Song Xinran blushed a little. He was so old, but his family still called him "baby". People who didn't know him would think he was only three years old. It was also because of this that his friends around the house laughed at him for being a child who never grew up. This stimulated him to make up his mind to be independent, and he made the impulsive and childish move of running away from home.
"Well, Dad..." Song Xinran spoke with her lips trembling, not knowing what topic to start with.
At this moment, Song's father's big head was pushed open, revealing Song's mother's beautiful face, and in the background were Wen Xun's two brothers and two sisters who had hurried over from all corners of the house. From then on, all members of Song Xinran's family were present.
"My son, mom misses you so much. Do you miss me too?" Mother Song looked at her youngest son with tears in her eyes.
“Little brother, life out there must be hard, come home quickly, your brothers and sisters will take you to eat delicious food!” The brothers and sisters tried to tempt him.
When it comes to food, Song Xinran is really not interested. After the first awkward minute, he immediately returned to the state of being intimate with his family. He rubbed his cheeks and apologized earnestly: "I'm sorry, Mom, Dad, and my brothers and sisters, I made you worry. I shouldn't have run out by myself without saying anything. Now I know I was wrong, and I hope you can forgive me."
As soon as these words came out, the six people on the other side of the screen suddenly fell silent. They looked confused and shocked. They never expected that their son/brother, whom they hadn't seen for several months, would apologize to them so seriously.
They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts whether Song Xinran was like this because she had suffered outside, such as being beaten by society. Such understanding and well-behavedness could not be formed overnight!
"Wow, baby, you have really grown up!" The sensitive and delicate Mother Song felt the urge to cry again, and took out her handkerchief to press the corners of her eyes.
"Hey... baby, it's good that you know it's wrong to do this. You don't have to apologize to us specially. No one in the family will blame you." Father Song also said earnestly, "So, baby, are you willing to tell us where you live now? How about Dad ask your brother and sister to pick you up and take you home?"
Song Xinran honestly told me his current address, but said he didn't want to go home yet, and it was good to live here. If his parents and brothers and sisters missed him, they could come to see him, but if he wanted to live at home for a long time, he would have to wait for a while!
"I have a master now, a brother who lives opposite me. He is amazing. He actually came up with the idea of growing vegetables on the balcony. I am learning from him now. When I have learned it, I will bring the grown vegetables home to cook for my parents and my brothers and sisters!" Song Xinran said it with confidence, and he was almost swearing.
In his opinion, he had eaten so many delicious foods at Bai Li's house that even if he had not tried them himself, he could make dishes that tasted one-tenth of those delicacies just by recalling them in his mind. This one-tenth of the taste alone could definitely kill a large amount of interstellar food in seconds.
It’s a pity that Song Xinran forgot that growing vegetables in reality is different from in the game. It’s hard to say whether the vegetables he grows can have their own unique taste.
But for the rest of the Song family, it was enough for their son/brother to say this. They all made up their minds that no matter how bad the food Song Xinran cooked was, they would swallow it with a smile. Children should always be encouraged more.
"Okay, okay, then we'll wait for my younger brother to cook for us! It's okay if you don't want to go home for the time being, we'll come to see you together in a few days!" said Brother Song.
"Yeah, okay, but you have to tell me before you come to see me, so I can make time to wait for you. These days I'm playing a very interesting holographic game called "Living in the Fields", and I might even start live streaming in the game today, hehe!"
"Brother, why are you still doing live streaming? Is it because your pocket money is not enough? Just wait, I will transfer some money to you right away!" Fourth sister Song was so distressed that she jumped up and down, opened the computer and transferred 100,000 star dollars to Song Xinran.
"No, no, I have enough money, really! I can make money on my own now!" Song Xinran waved his hand to refuse the other five people's similar action, while missing those rich "true love" fans in his live broadcast room.
After hearing this, Mr. Song and his companions stopped what they were doing obediently.
"Well, well, our cub has really grown up."
The family of seven chatted for a long time across a virtual screen. Half an hour later, when they noticed that Song Xinran's eyes were occasionally glancing at the game cabin in the room, the others held back their laughter and said that they still had things to do and would stop here for the time being.
"Okay, OK! Goodbye, Mom, Dad, and my brothers and sisters. See you the day after tomorrow!" Song Xinran said goodbye sweetly and then hung up the phone.
After ending the call, Song Xinran rubbed his cheeks which were a little sore from smiling, went to the bathroom to wash his face, made a cheering gesture to himself in the mirror with red eyes, and then slowly walked towards the game cabin.
During the conversation with his family just now, Song Xinran suddenly thought of a good live broadcast content, which is to broadcast how a novice Xiaobai can learn to cook in the game. There are ready-made recipes in the game, and you can also create freely. There are many kinds of ingredients, at least there is no shortage of vegetables. If you just start live broadcasting, it should be able to last for a while...
On the other side, after hanging up the call with Song Xinran, Song's father frowned in thought, Song's mother leaned on her husband and continued to wipe her tears, while the four brothers and sisters searched for content related to "Your Ran Tian Ju" on the Star Network, wanting to know what kind of game their younger brother was playing.
The four people divided the work and cooperated with each other, and quickly collected a lot of information.
"This game... the gameplay is actually farming? What's so fun about farming?"
"Well, that's not the case. Look at these people in the forum. They want to live and die for farming. This shows that this game must have its merits."
"Hey, hey, hey, look, the food in this game actually has a smell. The crops planted in the fields are said to smell especially fragrant. And the white flour buns, vegetable baskets and the like can all be eaten directly. Tsk... the players of this game are too lucky, aren't they?"
"It makes me want to play the game, but unfortunately all the spots were taken yesterday."
The two parents were also attracted by the discussion. At this time, Song's mother had calmed down and asked in confusion: "Even if we can't go in and play now, we can go to Zaizai's live broadcast room to watch it. Didn't he say that he would broadcast this game later?"
Hey, this word awakened the Song family members, and they suddenly realized, how could they have forgotten their hidden identities?
When Zaizai starts broadcasting, they will definitely send another set of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
This was also the reason why they had given up giving Song Xinran pocket money so easily before. Also because they could know whether Song Xinran was doing well by "peeking at the screen", they decided not to disturb his life for the time being, and to bring him back when he found that life alone was not easy.
As a result, the child really enjoyed his life outside.
The parents felt a little sad but also very relieved.
In the game.
When Bai Li opened the door, he saw Mo Song waiting outside the fence gate. He couldn't help but smile knowingly. It showed how eager the other party was to broadcast live.
In this case, he did not delay and immediately expressed his consent to the authorization. Mo Song was overjoyed. After thanking him repeatedly, he was afraid that Bai Li would regret it if he was late, so he signed the relevant contract with him directly. Regarding Bai Li's special mention of the 5% game usage fee and only opening 30% of the taste and smell synchronization, he not only did not think there was anything wrong with it, but instead felt that this game maker was really generous.
He had clearly said before that it was not necessary to enable the above two synchronizations, but Bai Li was still willing to enable 30%. If the group of people on Starnet knew this news, I'm afraid they would just prepare their eating utensils, knock on their bowls and wait for the live broadcast, right?
"Then boss, I'll go back and prepare for the live broadcast. At about 12 o'clock, I'll start the first live broadcast of our game!" Mo Song said excitedly, not forgetting another thing Bai Li said, "By the way, boss, when does your brother plan to start the live broadcast? At that time, should we avoid each other, or should we cooperate?"
"This... I'm not sure either. I'll ask him when he comes online."
"Okay then. I'll go back first." Mo Song left in a hurry.
After walking for a distance and making sure that Bai Li could no longer see him, Mo Song's straight back suddenly slackened. His originally steady steps gradually became unsteady. He drifted left and right on both sides of the road, jumping three or four times every few steps, looking like a clever rabbit.
New and old players who happened to pass by and saw this scene: Are you sick???
After Mo Song left, Bai Li thought about it and posted an announcement on his game's official website, stating that he had opened the game's live broadcast authorization and that there were currently three live broadcast spots available for application.
Five game streamers should be enough in a game that currently only has 5,000 players.
After the announcement was posted, he no longer cared about it. He would just go offline at night to see if anyone had applied.
After waiting for a while and seeing that Song Xinran did not show up, Bai Li stopped waiting. He harvested the beans in the field and was not in a hurry to open up new land. He planted a new batch of corn seeds and then returned to the hut.
The small hut has been upgraded, and he plans to take the opportunity to arrange the furnishings in the house. There are two types of furnishings: one is large furniture, such as beds, wardrobes, desks, etc., and the other is small furnishings, including paintings, vases, carpets and other small items.
Because the game is set in ancient times, even the clothes worn by the players are the same as those worn by farmers in ancient times. The furniture in the houses is naturally not too high-tech and is generally practical, with only a small part of it being beautiful.
Bai Li now has two rooms in his hut. He plans to use the one near the door as a living room, where he can entertain guests. Therefore, he plans to put soft couches, armchairs, floor lamps with classical charm, low tables, futons, tea sets, and hang some elegant paintings on the wall. It would be best if he could also prepare a small red clay stove, so that he could make tea with friends when he has nothing to do.
As for the other room, Bai Li had no plans to sleep in the game for the time being, so he did not consider a bedroom. After thinking about it, he decided to use this slightly smaller room as a storage room. He filled the room with lockers, and when the backpack could not fit in, or there were too many things, he could put them in this room. If he needed anything in the future, he could find it in the room.
Last month, he made a lot of money, and because he didn't have enough money to upgrade the holographic game builder to level C, he only spent 100,000 star coins. Bai Li's wallet was still very rich, so he bought all the furniture he wanted directly in the game store. Thanks to living in the ancient world for a long time, Bai Li remembered the placement of the furniture in the house very clearly, and soon finished decorating the living room.
As for the storage room, he bought 10 indoor lockers with 100 storage compartments at 100 star dollars each, and arranged them carefully to cover an entire wall, which was very satisfying to look at.
In addition, he bought a lot of cheap small ornaments from the mall and placed them here and there in the room, successfully making the living room more full of life.
By the time all this was done, an hour had passed.
Bai Li stretched lazily, remembering the new "breeding" gameplay that he had not experienced yet, so he planned to go out and visit the village chief.
Only by accepting a task from the village chief can you transform the yard into a living space for the livestock, and then use copper coins to buy small animal cubs such as chicks and ducklings, and start breeding.
I wonder if there are many people at the village chief's place right now? Bai Li walked out while guessing in his mind.
As soon as he opened the door, he heard a noise coming from his left. It was Yao Xing's hut. He turned around and happened to meet Wen Xingyao's eyes which were filled with complicated emotions.
Hmm? What is he making so complicated? It's only been a few hours since we last met. There's no need to look at him like that when we meet again, right?
Bai Li tilted his head unconsciously and tried to greet his friend: "Hi?"
Wen Xingyao only felt his scalp tingling and became even more embarrassed.
Why did he become inexplicably addicted to fishing yesterday?
