[Generating player information...]
The strange voice carried a noisy electric current that stung my temples painfully.
Jiang Runian suddenly opened his eyes and took big gulps of fresh air, as if he had not yet recovered from the feeling of suffocation from having his chest split open by the sword.
She looked down and saw there was no hole in her chest.
But she had clearly experienced a massacre herself, so it was impossible for her to survive. Therefore, there was only one explanation - she traveled through time.
In front of her was a two-story wooden building that looked like a folk inn. She was lying on the only square table with a weak candle burning beside her. The table, chairs and floor were solid and sturdy, without any strange noises. The beams and wooden pillars were all brand new, not like they had been abandoned here.
There was a faint sound of wind whistling in my ears, as if my ears were covered by a layer of barrier.
Jiang Ruinian moved his numb limbs, took cautious steps, approached the door of the inn, and pulled hard - "Bang!"
A terrifying gust of wind swept over, carrying a broken, sharp boulder, and stabbed straight into her face!
But the Qingshan Inn seemed to have an invisible and intangible barrier that instantly blocked the boulder outside the door.
The living creatures outside the inn were not so lucky. The sharp edges instantly pierced through the chest of a zombie. The hideous zombie clung tightly to the barrier, and under the strong wind, the ugly half of its face became more and more distorted.
Jiang Runian: “…”
With a click, she decisively closed the door and locked it.
……Hello?
What was that just now?
She has been cultivating the immortality diligently and honestly for ten years, not to come to this godforsaken place to fight zombies!!
At this moment, a strange voice sounded in my mind again:
[Dear players, hello! Welcome to bind the inn management system. From today on, please work hard for the goal of "the best inn in the world"! Now, give your inn a nice name! ]
A scroll-like floating screen lit up in front of him, and Jiang Runian said without hesitation: "Qingshan Inn."
The system immediately recognized her voice input. The words "Qingshan Inn" in a flamboyant style flashed with golden light, followed by a series of numerical values.
【personal information】
Name: Jiang Runian
Ability: Shennong Heart Sutra
Constitution: 1 (Growth value: low)
Strength: 1 (Growth value: Very low)
…
【Inn Information】
Industry: Qingshan Inn
Level: 1 (Unknown)

…
Although they haven't fully understood the current situation, even if they haven't eaten pork, they have seen pigs run. In the world of immortal cultivation, there is also the concept of attributes and spiritual roots.
In short, her attribute is that even a chicken passing by can peck her to a bloody pulp. As for the growth value, even if the 25th generation of chickens pass by a hundred years later, they can still peck her to a bloody pulp.
"..." What's the difference between traveling through time and not traveling through time? Won't you all die in the end?
Considering that she came from another world, the system tirelessly provided her with exclusive novice guidance.
The world of immortal cultivation also loves to have dramas like reunion over three lifetimes and a tragic love story. As the person with the highest attendance rate at the sect's treasure pavilion, Jiang Runian naturally has an extraordinary adaptability to things like "time travel".
Jiang Runian soon figured out that the world she was in now existed in parallel with the world of immortal cultivation. People called the land under their feet the Blue Star. A year ago, artificial intelligence went out of control, and a doomsday wasteland game called "Infinite Tomorrow" came to the world, and all life forms were digitized overnight. The survivors here - or players, have resisted for four full seasons of natural disasters, and the second year will be a more dangerous round of four seasons than last year.
Here, the player only has one life.
Either you pass the level with one life, or you die.
"The end of the world... No matter which world we live in, people have to fight against death." Jiang Ruonian pushed open the window, and the storm was carrying the debris. "You just said that I appeared here because of the fluctuations in the space-time tunnel, and the two world lines just happened to intersect, right? Does that also mean that those who died at the same time as me may be involved in this doomsday game?"
This problem does not exist in the database.
The system picked up the code and gave a classic ambiguous answer: I don't know.
Jiang Runian was not in high spirits.
Originally, she was quite happy about the strange idea of living a second life, but what would be the point if she was the only one alive?
System alert: It's been rejected!
Isn't this even worse than those planners who have to stick to their faces and hold big competitions to show their support?
[Wait a minute, host, listen to me! ] The system shouted loudly, breaking three sounds in a row, [Did your family or friends die together? Although I can't give you the answer to this question, I know that "Infinite Tomorrow" has a birth point mechanism! ]
The birth point, as the name suggests, is the coordinates where the player first enters the game.
When Infinite Tomorrow came to Blue Star, all players were randomly refreshed at the same time. But the game is divided into regions, for example, Chinese players must be in the eighth region, and two people who originally lived next to each other must also be in the same small area.
【Why not take it one step at a time? Maybe your family or friends are nearby? 】
Jiang Runian pursed his lips.
She didn't intend to hold out much hope, but she decided to give it a try.
Just try to survive for a few days and see if I can find them by chance.
Jiang Runian supported his chin and said earnestly: "Senior, can the barrier of this inn guarantee my safety?" At least he had to save his life from the hurricane and zombies in the next few days.
[Yes! I am using the most advanced protective shield,] the system said excitedly and proudly, [and as the level of the inn increases, the range and power of the protective shield will become greater and greater. If you want to protect the family and friends you find, you must build the inn and work hard to upgrade it!]
She puffed up her cheeks and patted them twice like she was hitting a ball to focus herself: "Tell me, what should I do?"
The next second, the floating screen in front of Jiang Runian refreshed:
[Daily: Cleaning weeds in the backyard field (0/30)]
Jiang Runian: “…”
She quickly looked back at her personal information—superpowers, Shennong Heart Sutra.
Shennong???
When she was cultivating immortality, she was sent to take care of the blessed land because of her natural wood spiritual roots. Every day she either planted spiritual herbs or fed spiritual beasts! After finally dying and moving to a new place, why is she still inseparable from the fields and grass?
Jiang Runian cursed.
When she opened the bamboo curtain and saw the mess in the backyard, she cursed even more foully.
Under the only eaves, there was a red brick stove, and the iron pot was shiny. The backyard of Qingshan Inn was open-air, about ten feet square, surrounded by white walls and green tiles. You could vaguely see a bubble-like protective shield with colorful glare.
And right in the middle is the farmland covered with weeds.
There are more than just weeds, there are all kinds of flowers and insects.
Fortunately, Jiang Ruinian had had many encounters with nature in the paradise. She sighed, pulled weeds, and bowed politely: "Please make way, Miss Tianniu, let me move your bed. Brother Centipede, can you please not reproduce on the rape flowers?"
The insects seemed to understand what she was saying. They were stunned for a while, and then obediently left the stage of the farmland.
The daily task only required pulling weeds. Every time she pulled one, a white light flashed from the palm of her hand, and the task item was recovered.
She had no place to put the rape flowers she had cleaned up, so she casually reached around her waist and found a space backpack. It had the same function as the storage bag in the world of immortal cultivation, but it didn't have many slots.
Jiang Runian worked quickly and completed her daily tasks in less than half an hour. It wasn't that she was very diligent, but she had obsessive-compulsive disorder. If she didn't pull out the weeds near the farmland, she would always feel itchy in her eyes like mosquito bites.
[Daily: Cleaning weeds in the backyard field (completed)]
[Reward: Number of card draws x1]
Draw a card?
If the game content she had played before was still down-to-earth, then this one was truly a product ahead of its time for her.
[Congratulations, host, you can draw cards so soon! Drawing cards and getting gold is one of the top ten most exciting moments for Blue Star people!] The system was overjoyed, [Daily, weekly and special tasks will reward card draws, and you can draw various basic supplies necessary for survival. If you are lucky, you can draw incredible things!]
Then... give it a try?
A card with a huge question mark printed on it appeared on the screen. Jiang Runian lightly swiped his index finger, and a beam of blue light burst out in an instant!
[Item Obtained: A Pack of Random Seeds x1]
Jiang Runian cursed loudly!
Enjoy a watermelon ice cream, but why can’t I get rid of farming even when drawing a card!
Having said that, she still opened the fist-sized sack. After all, in this doomsday with a shortage of supplies and people living in poverty, having seeds is a gift from God.
So, Jiang Runian, who had ten years of farming experience, looked at the nine identical mini sheep dung eggs in his palm, whose species could not be distinguished at all, and fell into deep thought: "..."
Now that things have come to this, let’s start farming.
There was no suitable tool in the backyard of Qingshan Inn. Jiang Runian was just about to scrape a piece of green tile from the wall to use when his backpack suddenly flashed.
In the 20-grid backpack, in addition to the rape flowers she collected, there was also a gift box-like gift bag for beginners. Jiang Ruonian pointed his index finger and pulled out a few simple wooden tools: a hoe, a shovel, and a watering can.
He was quite humane and didn't let her work with her hands.
With the tools, Jiang Runian completed the next steps smoothly and in one go. He could plant the nine seeds neatly into a 3x3 grid with his eyes closed.
A skilled worker, that's what.
After finishing her farm work, she smoothed her scattered hair and looked up at the sky.
In the world of doomsday, the sun cannot be seen rising from where, only the storm embraces prayers and panic and gradually fades away. There is a faint light in the sky that cannot be hidden, probably early morning.
Jiang Runian yawned. In their world of immortal cultivation, ordinary herbs in the blessed land of caves and heavens would take a day and a night to grow, not to mention the spiritual herbs that needed thousands of years to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. She thought that the seeds in the ordinary human world would not bear fruit for about a month.
Jiang Ruonian patted the small mounds of earth in the farmland, as if comforting a baby: "It's okay, grow up slowly, I will find water and fertilizer for you tomorrow."
At this moment, a magical scene appeared!
Suddenly, a few dim beams of light broke through the ground in the farmland, accompanied by the sound effects of blingbling little stars!
The seeds, which had just been planted for less than a minute, had all popped out at once and grown branches and buds that were sufficient to distinguish the varieties. There was even crop information floating in the air!
【Potatoes (sprouting stage)】
Soil: 0 (no nutrients)
Water content: 0 (dying of thirst)
Mood: 100 (extremely happy)
Distance to next stage: 5min
Jiang Runian: “?”
Do the crops in this world still need to be coaxed?
