Chapter 126 Order Processing: Some Routine Work After Pre-sales...
"I! Didn't! Get! It!!! Who was that fast?!"
"I got it! I got the glutinous rice ball standee! Hahahaha!"
"Golden Keychain +1! For the tears of the leopard cat dad!"
"Please restock! Please restock! Please restock! Did you hear me?! Please! Restock! Are you going to restock or not?! I'm going to die if you don't!!"
Shi Wan took a deep breath and said to the camera, "Thank you everyone for your support... I really didn't expect it to be so fast. The factory is already expediting production, and we will arrange shipment as soon as possible. Those who didn't manage to get one can follow us; there may be a small restock later..."
Before she could finish speaking, the live stream chat exploded with virtual gifts and special effects.
Someone directly gifted ten of the most expensive "Starry Sky Rain" items.
The person who sent the gift had the ID "Waiting for a Cat to Come Home" and left a single message: "Well done, keep it up."
Shi Wan was stunned for a moment, and before she could thank him, the person had already left the live stream.
It's weird.
But she didn't think much of it and continued answering questions from the live stream viewers, showing other corners of the farm, and introducing the cats' daily lives. The live stream lasted until 9:30 PM, and by the end, the number of viewers had exceeded 50,000.
After turning off the live stream, Shi Wan leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
Tired, but fulfilled.
Tangyuan jumped onto the table and rubbed against her hand, "Wanwan, so many people liked us today!"
“Yes.” Shi Wan ruffled his hair. “Everyone thinks you two are very cute.”
Tangyuan proudly puffed out its fluffy chest, and said matter-of-factly, "Of course! Kitties are so cute, of course everyone likes them!"
Deep within the data space.
The starlight's silvery halo completed its eighty-fifth fine-tuning.
This coordinate belongs to a music teacher.
The teacher loved teaching children to sing nursery rhymes during her lifetime, and what she missed most in the past was the innocent singing voices in the classroom.
Xinglin left a subtle sonic imprint outside the window of the music classroom at the school where she once taught. Whenever the afternoon breeze blew, the wind chimes by the window would make a tinkling sound like a nursery rhyme, even though it was only a few notes.
After this operation was completed, the halo had faded to the point of being almost invisible.
But at that moment, a warm energy suddenly surged in, several times stronger than usual, carrying waves of joy, excitement, and satisfaction.
It came from the farm.
Xinglin's senses extended along the passage, and he saw everything that had just happened: Shi Wan's live stream, the netizens' enthusiasm, and those heartwarming scenes warmed his heart.
He sensed the lively atmosphere of the farm, the gentle tone of Shi Wan's live stream, the pride of Tangyuan, the tenderness of Rou Rou, the persistence of Jin Dian, the adorable antics of the kittens, and the thousands of likes and support coming from the other side of the screen.
All of this is so vivid, so heartwarming.
It allowed him to feel a real sense of "being alive" in the cold, data-driven space.
With a thought, he separated a portion of the data and sent it over, leaving his mark in the live stream.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that things weren't so bad; at least in the world of data, he was omnipotent.
Zhulong's voice came through, this time with a smile, "What's wrong? In a good mood?"
“I saw some things,” Xinglin said softly, “and I’m very happy.”
“That’s good,” Zhulong said without asking further questions, and instead brought up another matter. “Bailing and Tiebi are researching whether there is a way to allow mission takers to leave the system but maintain their physical form. I don’t know how they are progressing, but it sounds very promising.”
“Indeed, if it can be done, it would be a good thing for all mission takers.” Xing Lin pursed his lips.
After all, most people are willing to keep doing tasks for this reason.
Zhulong was very busy. He only came to check on Xinglin's condition to prevent him from exhausting himself with too much guilt.
He seemed to be doing alright, so he hurriedly went back to work.
Xinglin sensed the warm energy continuously flowing in, repairing his almost transparent aura.
This time, he didn't use all of it to support fine-tuning, but instead set aside a portion for his own repair.
Because he knew that if he wanted to continue doing this for a long time, and if he wanted to truly make amends, he had to live well.
The eighty-sixth coordinate is a fragment of a child's memory who loves to draw.
The child's last drawing was of a rainbow outside the window.
Xinglin created a special optical refraction field in an inconspicuous corner of a small park near the child's home.
On sunny days after rain, the puddles there reflect exceptionally clear rainbows, which, though only the size of a palm, are distinct in color.
After completing this, Xinglin took a short rest.
He was "watching" the farm.
It was late at night, but the lights in the activity room were still on. Shi Wan was organizing order data, Tangyuan was dozing on her lap, Rou Rou and the kittens were snuggling together asleep, Shan Feng was guarding the door, and Jin Dian had already left, but traces of its presence remained outside the window.
Everything is peaceful and beautiful.
The silvery-white halo of starlight slowly rotated, absorbing warmth from the data stream and gradually reforming.
It will be soon.
It's almost finished.
Wait until he completes these one hundred coordinates, wait until he becomes more stable, wait until he...
When I can go home.
He wanted to tell Shi Wan in person that the live stream was doing very well, the farm was being run brilliantly, and that she had always been amazing.
He also wanted to tell her the words he had kept in his heart for a long time.
Night was falling.
At the farm, Shi Wan finally finished sorting out the orders and turned off her computer.
She walked to the window, looked at the starry sky outside, and gently touched the bracelet on her wrist.
"The farm is very lively today," she whispered. "Xinglin, did you see it?"
The bracelet felt warm, as if it were responding.
In the distance, within the data space, the halo of starlight flickered faintly.
I saw it.
I saw it all.
wait for me.
The day after the pre-sale ended, Shi Wan was woken up by a constant barrage of phone notifications.
She groggily reached for her phone, squinted, and glanced at it...
Goodness, there are 99+ unread messages, and the private messages in my social media account's backend are piling up like a mountain.
Some people urged for delivery, some asked about restocking, some asked for "backdoor" access to add to their orders, and some even asked if it was possible to customize "Tangyuan with a handwritten signature".
Shi Wan stared at the last private message for three seconds, silently took a screenshot, and sent it to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao replied instantly.
"Hahahaha! Tell them that the signature service requires booking three months in advance and only accepts Xiaoyugan payment!"
Shi Wan smiled and shook her head, then sat up from the bed.
Morning light streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting warm dappled patterns on the wooden floor.
She stretched, and the cat-head bracelet on her wrist slipped off gently, gleaming warmly in the morning light.
"A new day has begun," she said softly, then rolled out of bed.
When I finished washing up and went downstairs, the farm had already woken up.
The mountain breeze is carrying Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi on a morning run in the yard.
This is the mountain wind's daily "military dog training," and although the two puppies run crookedly, their tails wag happily.
The soft meowing of cats could be heard coming from the greenhouse; it must be Tangyuan organizing a "morning meeting."
Shi Wan went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Just as I cracked the eggs into the pan, I heard a knocking sound coming from outside. Without even looking, I knew it was Jin Dian.
This guy not only comes on Saturdays now, but also strolls over every morning, gazing longingly at Rou Rou and the kitten through the window for a while before being caught by Lin Yao's GPS location.
She opened the window, and Jin Dian immediately poked her head in, her bright green eyes filled with anticipation.
"Rou Rou is still sleeping." Shi Wan poked his forehead. "The kittens too, you came too early."
Jin Dian's ears drooped, but he still refused to leave. He just rested his chin on the windowsill and stared longingly in the direction of the activity room.
Shi Wan sighed, took out some freeze-dried chicken that she had specially prepared for it from the refrigerator, poured a small bowl of it and placed it on the windowsill. "Alright, alright, go back after you finish eating. Don't make Lin Yao worry."
Jin Dian meowed in thanks and ate in small bites, but her eyes never left the activity room.
While Wan fried the eggs and baked the bread, Tangyuan finished her morning meeting and walked gracefully into the kitchen.
He jumped onto his special high stool next to the kitchen counter, which Shi Wan had specially prepared for him so that he could "supervise" the cooking.
Tangyuan's heterochromatic eyes stared at the fried egg on the plate.
"Wanwan, what are we having for breakfast this morning?"
"Fried eggs and whole wheat bread." Shi Wan cut a small piece of egg white and placed it on the small plate in front of him. "And your favorite freeze-dried chicken."
Tangyuan sniffed carefully, then ate with restraint, saying as she ate, "At the morning meeting just now, Sanhua reported that the catnip in the greenhouse is growing very well and suggested that we harvest a batch to make new toys~ Mimi thinks it's feasible, Wanwan, what do you think?"
Shi Wan almost choked on the bread.
She knew the cats were intelligent, but every time she heard Tangyuan discuss farm management in such a serious tone, she still felt a strange sense of unease.
“Sure.” She took a sip of milk. “But you should leave some for the cats to play with. Last time you harvested all the catnip, and Rou Rou was unhappy for days.”
Tangyuan's ears twitched, a little guilty. "That was to make a large batch of catnip balls... and later I kept an extra private batch for Rou Rou, and she was clearly very happy."
"That's because you secretly slipped it into her room and pretended it was an accidental discovery," Shi Wan bluntly exposed him.
Tangyuan, though not entirely convinced, retorted confidently, "Strategy! This is the clan chief's strategy for managing the clan!"
Shi Wan smiled and patted his head, "Good, good, the clan leader is the smartest."
After breakfast, Shi Wan began to formally handle the follow-up work of the pre-sale.
She first logged into the backend and exported the order data.
A total of 872 orders were placed, and the sales amount was more than three times higher than she had expected.
The most popular item was indeed the "Sad Leopard Cat" keychain from Jin Dian, which sold 312 pieces. The second most popular item was the Tangyuan standee, which, although limited to 200 pieces, received hundreds of messages requesting a restock.
She started organizing the shipping information according to the order sequence, and at the same time called the packaging factory she was working with.
"Factory Manager Li, yes, it's me, Shi Wan. Pre-sales are better than expected... Hmm, we need to place additional orders. Add 500 keychains, and standees... The standees have complex craftsmanship, let's add 100 for now, and the packaging bags, the light green ones, add another 2000..."
A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone from Factory Manager Li, "Boss Shi, your farm really did a fantastic job this time! My daughter was watching the live stream last night trying to snag some of your merchandise, and she threw a tantrum when she didn't get any. Don't worry, the factory is fully cooperating and will absolutely guarantee the quality!"
After hanging up the phone, Shi Wan contacted the courier company and negotiated a price for bulk shipping.
By the time all this was finished, it was already noon.
She stretched her aching shoulders and looked out the window.
Tangyuan was leading several cats to "inspect" the catnip in the greenhouse. Rou Rou was lying on her side on a soft cushion by the window of the activity room, sunbathing. Four kittens rolled and played around her. Shanfeng was lying in the shade of a tree not far away, pretending to sleep, but her ears were alertly perked up.
Everything was in good order, warm and peaceful.
A strange sense of satisfaction welled up in Shi Wan's heart.
A year ago, this was a slightly dilapidated little farm. She knew nothing about it when she took over, and stumbled into where she is today.
Now, this place has become a paradise for small animals, has its own brand, and has so many supporters.
She picked up her phone, took a picture of the scene outside the window, and captioned it, "Pre-orders are being processed. Thank you all for your support. Everything is fine at the farm, and the animals say thank you to all the virtual parents~"
The comment section immediately became lively after it was posted.
"Did you see any succulents at Golden Point today? Wan! Please restock! I'm willing to wait! As long as it takes!"
"President of Tangyuan Fan Club: Wan, look at me! I'm going to put the standee on my desk, right here! All my colleagues will envy me!"
"Raising Little Spots Online Every Day: What are the four kittens doing today? I want to see them!"
Shi Wan smiled and replied to a few messages, then stood up to go to the greenhouse to check on the growth of the catnip.
