Chapter 79 Welcome to Taoyuan Village
Jian Lin coughed twice as a reminder.
After attracting everyone's attention and gaze, she held up the process card and announced:
"Since all villagers have reached 100 points and have completed the required prerequisites, we will open a new map next!"
Behind her, there is a gatehouse made of wood and thatch with a very rural style.
Crossing it means entering what the program team calls a new map.
Jian Lin smiled and gestured to all the guests to come in:
"Villagers, welcome to Taoyuan Village!"
"etc!"
Zhao Sizhen raised his hand actively, as if he had a lot of questions to ask.
The accumulated emotions were interrupted, and Jian Lin nodded helplessly:
"What's the problem?"
Zhao Sizhen's eyes sparkled with excitement and joy:
"A new map will be unlocked after completing the prerequisites... Does this mean there will be more new maps later? Will there be new characters unlocked as well? Like NPCs? We won't be farming all the time, right? Will there be other activities?"
Zhao Sizhen is indeed smart and quick-witted. He immediately guessed the program team's next arrangements by analogy.
Her ideas are an inspiration to others.
Zhou Lizhi, who had always been indifferent to tasks and just did his work step by step, rarely showed some eagerness to try. He asked:
"What are the prerequisites? Can you tell us in advance?"
Jian Lin: ...
How could she possibly say that!
Otherwise what's the point of it!
"All villagers please come in and take a look!"
Jian Lin simply ignored all the questions and walked in hurriedly.
The camera captured Jian Lin's back as he seemed to be fleeing in panic, and even the audience in the live broadcast room were amused:
[If Zhao Si's guess is true... I can't wait to see what happens next!]
A real-life farming game! It even has map upgrades! Will there be a chance for dungeons in the future? Like maybe taking guests into the mountains, or selling goods in the city, or having a limited-time ranked tournament or something like that.
[Program team: This is a good idea, I copied it.]
[Wow, this is getting more and more interesting! I love this kind of innovative variety show format! Come on, those variety shows with outdated competition formats, and let me learn from them!]
Is this "Singer X"? The same format has been used from season one to season six, and even the audience reactions are pretty much the same: either shaking their heads in amazement or with red, tearful eyes!
[The new wave of "Peach Blossom Spring" has already overtaken the old wave. Please let the old wave die silently on the beach. Don't take it!]
…
In fact, according to the original plan of the program team, Taoyuan Village would not be put on the agenda so early, and it would have to wait until next week's recording at least.
It was the incident of Wen Chi Suisui encountering a South China tiger on the road that sounded the alarm for the program team!
Only then did they realize that although the scenery of the spring mountains was peaceful and serene, like the paradise described by Tao Yuanming, the spring mountains were still spring mountains! They would not be any less dangerous because of people's subjective filters!
Wen Chi's cottage is located in a remote mountain area, which can certainly bring a lot of fun to the audience, but the danger is also much higher than that of the other three guests.
This time it’s the South China tiger, what about next time?
What if a wild beast breaks into the Wenchi cabin in the middle of the night?
What if the beast doesn’t leave on its own?
Therefore, they simply brought forward the plan to merge the cottages into Taoyuan Village and moved all the guests' houses to a place closer to the village and relatively safer.
It's just hard work for the props team. To achieve this in just four days, I wonder how many people worked day and night, and how many hairs they lost...
Fortunately, it was all worth it!
When Jian Lin led all the guests into Taoyuan Village and took a close look at the new map restored by the props team, the visual effect was even more shocking!
Taoyuan Village in the new map is located on a relatively gentle hillside.
The thatched gatehouse is surrounded by bamboo fences on both sides, covered with vines and scattered pink flowers, which sway gently in the wind.
After crossing it, a peaceful and tranquil pastoral scene unfolds before your eyes like a scroll.
On the left is a small natural pond, which has been specially renovated by the program team. The edges are surrounded by pebbles, and mountain springs are used as living water. The water flows along the winding stone stream into the irregular flower bed next to it.
Different seasonal flowers and trees are planted at different heights in the flower garden, with lush branches and leaves, and colorful flowers, as brilliant as colorful clouds. There are also green willows hanging down, and thatched pavilions standing under the trees.
On the right side of the flower garden is a vegetable and fruit planting area in the shape of a four-square grid. The fields reclaimed by the guests were merged and placed here.
One of them stood out particularly well. Not only had it been cultivated, but it had also been sown. After a few days, a small green stubble had sprouted out, which was full of vitality, emerald green and lovely.
The progress of the other two fields was similar, with the soil only half-turned and not yet ready for sowing.
There's another piece... completely barren! No progress at all! Not even the weeds have been removed!
No need to think about it.
The best one is Zhou Lizhi, a genius who can also farm at home. His proficiency in this area is unmatched by the other three.
As for the worst, it is naturally Wen Chi.
This is not a comparison.
In comparison, reality is too tragic!
Wen Chi's face turned slightly green.
Yu Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to him, saw this and showed a sympathetic look, saying to him:
"Once the points accumulate to 150, a hidden side farming mission will be unlocked."
Wen Chi almost reached this number at the end of the last recording.
If you don’t even know the mission, no wonder you didn’t even weed!
The live broadcast room was filled with laughter.
In a pleasant atmosphere, the visiting guests continued to move forward. The camera was still moving forward, scanning to the left side of the small pond. It was a lush fruit forest. It undulated with the mountain and grew and spread to the forest behind, blending with the green mountains.
Behind the flower garden is a winding path paved with gravel. The courtyards on both sides are scattered and separated by a distance. There is open space around the house to facilitate future expansion.
The owners of the courtyard are Wen Chi, Zhao Sizhen, Yu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Lizhi.
Behind Zhou Lizhi, who lived the farthest and highest, was the vast spring mountain with layers of green hills.
...It can be said that every detail of this small village was built with great care.
In addition to the area around the guests' courtyard, traces of fresh soil can be seen, which indicates that they had recently moved in.
But other places, such as the fruit forest, the small pond with running water, the flower garden, and the clusters of flowers everywhere, have all been integrated with the environment and are natural.
It is obvious that it was not arranged recently, but it seems to have grown up a long time ago.
Yu Xiaoxiao then asked everyone's questions.
Jian Lin said calmly:
"We have been preparing since the project of this variety show was established and the funds were in place to start the early preparations."
