"First of all, the top three villagers who won the highest cauliflower weight in 'Mushroom Village' are: Li Bai, Feng Jiujiu, and Meng Hu Xia Shan. Their cauliflower weights are 55.5, 50.3, and 49.8 kilograms respectively. Let's congratulate these three villagers and invite them to the stage to receive their awards!" The village chief led the applause and added, "Villager Li Bai's cauliflower also took the lead among all the villages and won first place!"
Bai Li and two other players stepped onto the podium under the envious gazes of the crowd, received flowers from the flower lady, and received their respective medals and prize packages from the village chief's wife.
At the same time, as agreed before, the cauliflowers they submitted were also displayed. There were three huge cauliflowers, and it was obvious that Bai Li's cauliflower was a circle larger than the other two. The green leaves of the cauliflower bottom were spread on the ground and were extremely huge, with a diameter of nearly two meters.
The audience's eyes were wide open, and when they came to their senses, they couldn't help but stare blankly and started discussing in murmurs.
"Isn't this cauliflower too big?? I thought my 30 kilograms was already my limit, but I didn't expect that the cauliflower Li Li submitted was almost twice as big as mine. When did the cauliflower become so curled up..."
"Hiss! Three cauliflowers this big, together, are enough for our whole village to have a barbecue, right?"
"Li Li is indeed worthy of being the one who created this game. I'm not surprised at all that he can grow such a big cauliflower! I have a bad feeling... Li Li won't get first place every time, right?"
"Well, I don't think so. Judging from the previous few activities, Li Li seems to be quite cautious in this regard and will not do anything like rewarding everyone. After the village chief makes his announcement, we will be able to see the ranking results of all crops. Let's take a look then!"
After discussing for a while, many people remembered that they wanted to take a group photo, so they rushed forward to take photos, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.
It was a rare opportunity for Feng Jiujiu and Menghu Xiashan to enjoy such a highlight moment. They were very cooperative during the group photo and proudly expressed their acceptance speeches. Finally, they added that they would continue to work hard and strive to grow bigger cauliflowers by this time next year!
Bai Li had not yet learned how to reject the overly enthusiastic crowd, and in the end, Wen Xingyao rescued him from the crowd with a stifled smile. As for the cauliflower that made him the first in the server, he left it in the crowd, and many players were waiting to take photos with the giant cauliflower!
"Oh my god, this is the first time I feel there are so many people in the village. I thought five thousand was just the right number!" Bai Li wiped the sweat from his forehead in shock, then looked at Wen Xingyao with a proud look on his face, "I'm awesome, right? I weighed 55.5 kilograms of cauliflower and got first place in the server, haha!"
After he finished speaking, he held up the big gift bag that had not yet been put into the backpack and showed it around in front of Wen Xingyao.
Wen Xingyao pinched Bai Li's face and congratulated him first, then smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that my biggest competitor in this event is you."
No wonder they bought a scale and told him to weigh their items separately. It turned out they were waiting for him here.
Bai Li took his fingers away from his face, nodded and shook his head: "What you said is half right and half wrong. I'll tell you directly, I didn't submit all the prepared crops, but divided them into three equal parts, and randomly selected one when submitting. If I remember correctly, I didn't put cauliflower and potatoes in the same part. So... congratulations, General Wen, at least in the competition of potato weight, I won't be your competitor."
He also only divided it on the crop category, the other three were all submitted normally.
Wen Xingyao's heart was sinking. The man in front of him always took everything into consideration, and it was impossible to say he was wrong. Regardless of whether the "random" in Bai Li's words was really "random", he felt the other person's intentions.
I just hope that there is only one such strong competitor, Bai Li.
The three giant cauliflowers were quickly removed, and then it was the turn of the white radish. The appearance of this snow-white, slender vegetable, which was as translucent as jade, also attracted countless eyes.
Bai Li's white radish was placed in the other two that were not submitted, so he had nothing to do with the award ceremony. Wen Xingyao, on the other hand, won first place in this project, but unfortunately ranked 57th in the server, not as exaggerated as Bai Li's cauliflower.
The villagers of "Mushroom Village" gradually lost interest in the outcome of the game and turned to cheering for Wen Xingyao.
"Wow! The Admiral also won first place. Did he and Li Lifu both win gold medals? The village chief will announce the ranking of Potato soon. I hope the first place is still the Admiral. Those who understand will understand!"
"Come on, General! As long as you succeed, we will be your wife's family as well as your husband's family. We will organize a banquet for you when the time comes!"
"I discovered the truth of this event, which is to witness the historic moment of the admiral's successful proposal! Although the admiral's proposal in the forum is a bit tacky, it is also the unique romance of farmers!"
"I've decided! From now on, if someone wants to propose to me, they must bring more than 100 kilograms of fish, meow~"
“…”
Wen Xingyao had sharp hearing and heard a lot of words related to him. His ears inevitably blushed, but fortunately his hair covered it and no one noticed. Damn it! Why do these players like to talk to themselves so much? The topic has even extended to whether to ask a fortune teller to calculate which day is more suitable for holding a wedding...
"Finally, I will announce the top three villagers who have won the highest weight of potatoes in Mushroom Village." The village chief paused for a few seconds, "Yao Xing, Liu Yingjun, what are you working on? The weights are 166, 105 and 103.8 kilograms respectively. Obviously, the potatoes of villager Yao Xing far exceed those of all the villagers in other villages, and he is the well-deserved first place. Let us congratulate these three villagers together!"
As soon as the words fell, the potato weighing 166 kilograms mentioned by the village chief appeared in front of everyone. It was an extremely beautiful potato, with a smooth skin, few pits, and round like a big ball. However, in front of the weight of 166 kilograms, all of this became insignificant.
A potato that is almost as tall as a person when stood up. Who wouldn’t feel a little bit of toothache when seeing it?
This was the second time that Wen Xingyao went on stage to receive his award under everyone's eyes. Players from the same village always felt that they could read a little bit of high spirits from his expressionless face.
However, even without this discovery, the image of a big potato almost as tall as an adult squatting next to the interstellar admiral is still very funny.
After announcing the ranking of potatoes, the village chief left temporarily, and a complete list was sent to every player, with a search function included.
Then the players found that among the hundreds of crops, only one-third had Bai Li's name on them, and the remaining two-thirds were completely unknown. But just this one-third alone brought him great rewards, with 15 first places in the server, 47 first places in the village, and other rankings were also relatively high. When the players counted the rewards they could get, tears of envy flowed from their mouths.
Some even said: "Thank you Li Li for not participating in all the events, so that I could get the first place in Sesame Weight!"
But soon someone poured cold water on him: "Hey, wake up! Although Li Li didn't participate in all of them, don't forget that there is a mad General Wen beside him! He submitted one copy of each crop. Although the quality is not as good as Li Li's, he still has a great advantage in quantity. The honors he has received are only one or two less than Li Li's in the top 100 of the server!"
The players calmed down and said, "Okay, that seems to be true. What are we so happy about?!"
So, these people stopped advocating and began to treat the next three hours of evaluation with a normal attitude, and even secretly bet on whether the pig submitted by Wen Xingyao would be the fattest pig in the whole server.
"Brothers, I went to the admiral's house for you. His yard... how should I put it, it has been expanded to the point where you can't see the end at a glance! Without transportation, it takes about 20 minutes to walk from the fence gate to the front door. If he decorates the yard well, it will probably be comparable to the village chief's big garden~"
“Hiss, hiss! He is indeed a man who is determined to reclaim the most land. He is rich, willful, and has great mobility!”
"Now the land is ready, the biggest potatoes have been planted, and the only thing left is the fattest pig. If I had known that marrying Li Li only required these three simple steps, I would have done it too!"
"Why dream in broad daylight? Putting aside other things, first, you need money. Second, you need money. Finally, you still need money! Do you think it's easy to do these three things? In my eyes, they are all built with money!"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. It's almost nine o'clock. The results will be revealed soon."
Around 8:50 in the evening, the players who had been wandering around the village calmed down and returned to the square in the center of the village.
At this time, the square was brightly lit. A huge bonfire had been built not far from the fountain. On the left side of the bonfire were a large number of fireworks and firecrackers neatly placed. On the left hand side were snack stalls spontaneously set up by players who loved to set up stalls and do business. The cool evening breeze blew, and the fragrance spread, arousing the appetite of all the surrounding players.
By the time the village chief began announcing the ranking of the largest and heaviest chickens in the village, almost every player had a kebab or a glass of ice drink in his hand.
There weren't many types of livestock to begin with, and after a vote by all the players in the village, the public award spots were given to chickens that had been unlocked at level five, as well as larger pigs and cows.
Then, there was a commotion at the awards ceremony that was different from the previous three. Unlike crops, fruits, and fish that didn't move much during the presentation, livestock were overly lively.
The first three chicken farmers were forced to hold tightly onto the fat body of the big hen that belonged to them, and to prevent them from moving around, they had to keep saying threatening words.
"Put your wings away. You can't fly. Why are you flapping your wings? If you keep moving, I'll make chicken soup out of you!"
"Don't run, don't run. You don't want the chicken feet anymore, right? I just happen to be craving for lemon boneless chicken feet recently. I just don't know if a chicken can survive without its feet!"
"Oh, you are really a fighting chicken among fat chickens. Why do you keep clucking? Are you... Oh, it's okay. Today's eggs have just been laid..."
Yunyi, who is number one in chicken farming in the "Mushroom Village", was stunned when she held the hot eggs in her hands.
The onlookers were also stunned, and said remarks such as "My friends and I were shocked", "Wow, this is even possible", "This egg is so big, it looks very nutritious", "Why did the first-place chicken only lay an ordinary egg, it should have at least a golden egg", etc. At the same time, they did not forget to take a screenshot. This can be regarded as one of the famous scenes of the "Harvest Festival"!
The award ceremony was carried out at a speed of about 20 minutes per round. When the village chief was about to announce the top three pig weights, he was stopped by the players and asked if he could announce the cows first.
This is not impossible, it's only a 20-minute difference, the village chief readily agreed and directly announced the top three cattle weights.
In just less than a minute, Wen Xingyao felt like he had been on the most terrifying roller coaster. He thought he would be facing the decision of his fate soon, but then he was informed that fate would arrive 20 minutes late.
No one can empathize with this kind of bitterness.
Just at this moment, he heard his name and Bai Li's name from the village chief. With a difference of 1.2 kilograms, Bai Li's name was ahead of his.
Wen Xingyao went up to the stage to receive the award in a daze, and after being reminded by others, he took out a handful of grass and fed it to the obviously anxious Niu Niu. Only then did he barely calm down.
After calming down, he turned his head to look at Bai Li next to him and found that the other party was also looking at him. He secretly blinked at him twice, with the corners of his mouth raised in a good mood.
"Are you nervous?" Bai Li asked silently with his mouth.
He was not referring to this time, but the last one to be announced later. After all, he had beaten him in the cattle-raising project, and it was possible that the pigs he raised would be a pound heavier than his.
Wen Xingyao shook his head slowly and with difficulty.
Nervous and scared, but I don't say it.
The flirting between the two was seen by everyone. The female players excitedly covered their mouths and huddled together to discuss something in a low voice, while the male players, under the guidance of Mo Song, ran to the gambling table that had just opened not long ago to place their bets.
The bet is whether the pigs raised by Wen Xingyao can become the best in the entire server.
Finally, it was the last item's turn. The village chief's expression was visibly relaxed, and he was filled with joy at the end of his work. He had no idea that what he was about to announce was very important to some people.
"Okay, okay, everyone, calm down now. Now, let's announce the last publicly announced list of villagers for this 'Harvest Festival'. The top three villagers with the heaviest pigs in the village are: Li Bai, Yao Xing, and Hui Lin! The weights are 1888 jin, 1887.9 jin, and 1676 jin respectively. It's a bit of a pity that Yao Xing's pig lost to Li Bai by only 0.1 jin, but these two are still the heaviest pigs submitted by all the villages. Let us congratulate these three villagers!"
When the results were announced, the whole audience fell silent. No one had expected that the final result would be so dramatic. A difference of 0.1 catties caused Admiral Wen Xingyao to miss his dream.
When he came to his senses, he looked for Bai Li and Wen Xingyao in the crowd, and sure enough, he saw that the latter's face turned pale for a moment, followed by a look of confusion and helplessness.
After a period of farming and playing various musical instruments in the game, the hearts of the violent male and female players softened. At this time, they could not help but sympathize with the unfortunate General Wen. Hey, how come there was only a difference of 0.1 kilograms? If the pigs were fed a little more before being submitted, the result would be completely different.
If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know when the admiral will be able to propose successfully again.
Bai Li was also surprised by the result, and then he felt a headache. 0.1 catties... this was a bit difficult to deal with.
On the contrary, Wen Xingyao, although it was a little difficult to accept at first, recovered the fastest after a brief period of loss and sadness. He sighed softly, took Bai Li's hand, gave him a comforting look, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I can find another suitable opportunity to propose to you."
Bai Li asked a question and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden exclamation from not far away.
“Fuck, fuck! When did this pig get to me? Ahhh, don’t come over here. You and I have no grudge in the past or present. If you have anything to do, go to your master! You, you, you want to eat the bombing squid in my hand? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll give it to you, take it all. Eat it and get away from me quickly. It’s too oppressive!” A player offered a string of whole deep-sea squids to the fat pig that suddenly rushed over, crying.
It has just come out of the oil pan, with crispy coating on it. It has a slight crispy sound when you bite it, and is rich in aroma.
The fat pig, who had been hungry for five or six hours, ate with relish and was reluctant to even raise his head.
After about four or five seconds, someone asked weakly, "Whose pig is this? Can we take it away first?"
"It looks like it belongs to the admiral!" Someone else shouted excitedly, "Such a big bunch of squid should be more than 0.1 kilograms, right? Village chief, the weight of this pig must have increased now, can you weigh it again? Please, this is very important to our admiral... Oh no, this is very important to the demon star!!"
The village chief looked embarrassed: "This...there has never been such a precedent..."
Who would have thought that the competition items would be eaten on the spot to increase their value?
The players woke up as if from a dream, and chose to rush in for the happiness of the general and Li Li! So they all started to persuade them.
"Rules are meant to be broken! If it hasn't been done before, we can do it today! And the 'Harvest Festival' isn't over yet. Logically, the competition should take the peak weight of the entries. It would be fair to recalculate the weight~"
"Qiuqiu, you are offending the dear village chief. Look how hard this pig is working. In order to help its owner win, it actually did such an unexpected thing! In our hometown, such a smart pig should be sent to school!"
"There's no precedent because no pig or other animal has eaten on the spot before. We didn't force it, it did it on its own initiative! Besides, the prize hasn't been officially awarded yet. It's just a matter of swapping the first and second place. It should be very simple!"
While the players were trying desperately to persuade the village chief who was in a dilemma, they were casting apologetic glances towards Bai Li. "Wow, I'm sorry, Li Li. The admiral's expression just now killed us. We want to try harder for your happiness!"
Finally, the village chief was pestered by the players and opened a server-wide vote with Bai Li's tacit consent. At this time, players from other villages learned about this more dramatic scene through the game live broadcast or the high-rise building on the forum. They shed tears of emotion for the friendship between General Wen and Ganfan Zhuzhu, and chose the option of "agree to re-measure the weight".
The result is obvious. The weight of the pig that ate a whole bunch of giant squids increased by 0.7 on the original basis, successfully surpassing Bai Li's pig and becoming the fattest pig in the whole server based on its strength.
Thus, Wen Xingyao, in a state of bewilderment, successfully achieved his goal in a way that would be unforgettable.
All the agricultural products submitted by the players will be returned after the competition. Wen Xingyao looked at the "life-saving" Enzhu with a disgusting look, put it back in his backpack temporarily, and decided to keep it forever.
After all, I am half a matchmaker... no, a matchmaker pig.
The award ceremony ends here, and the remaining two hours are left for everyone to have fun.
Wen Xingyao and Bai Li walked away quietly, but the players were caught by the sudden burst of flames from the bonfire and cheered excitedly. The village chief also reminded that the villagers could use the fireworks nearby as much as they wanted, and there would be someone (system) to replenish them, so that the players could enjoy the last two hours of the "Harvest Festival".
When Bai Li and Wen Xingyao returned to their yard and climbed to the top of the house, which had been upgraded several times in appearance and had a super beautiful terrace, a beam of brilliant golden light exploded in the night, lighting up the entire starry sky together with other smaller fireworks.
The players' laughter and noise spread from the center of the village to the surrounding areas. When it reached Bai Li and the others, only empty echoes remained. Wen Xingyao put his arm around Bai Li's shoulders and let him lean on him. The two of them quietly admired the beautiful scenery of the fireworks for a while.
"Bai Li." Wen Xingyao whispered softly, "I have completed three of my goals now. Are you willing to help me complete the last one?"
"What's the last one?" Bai Liming asked knowingly.
"Marry the most lovely you." Wen Xingyao looked into his eyes and said seriously.
Bai Li smiled and looked at him. This time, she did not evade him like before and gave her answer: "Of course, I do."
Almost at the moment Bai Li agreed, Wen Xingyao's lips and tongue covered her impatiently.
With a "bang", another bunch of silver-white fireworks rose from the ground, blooming into silver flowers in the night sky. In a corner that no one else could see, two overlapping figures disappeared in the game world in a hurry.
