All night long, specifically after 00:00 on April 15th, the game was a flurry of activity. It wasn’t until the light of day dawned in reality that the game world, which had been lively all night, became a little quieter. Players who participated in the night’s activities recovered their liver from the gaming pod and ran to bed to rest.

The players who chose to rest first at night and then get up the next day to participate in the event, were yawning and had a good drink of nutritional fluid. They lay in their gaming pods but didn’t directly enter the game, instead they first turned to the game forum.

Overnight, the number of discussion posts in the forum about Carefree Farmstead and the April event had reached a terrifying height. The greatest degree of discussion could probably be divided into three categories.

The first category, catching ducks on the spot to get revenge. The first thing that many players did after entering the event map was to find out if there were any enemies nearby. If not, they would seriously participate in the event, and if there were, it was also good to secretly do some small damage to people and see that the other party lost ten or twenty points because of the failure to submit the right ducks. Perhaps some people would say, no, not boring, it’s only a dozen points, what’s the matter? Why make such a big show?

The players who had their ground plucked clean, or robbed of their hard-earned money, or spent a lot of energy researching homemade culinary delicacies that were deliberately spiteful tasting and strange so that no business could earn money, said in unison, “too, too and too!” It was because it was only a dozen points and wouldn’t cause people too much damage, so it worked as revenge, but not to start a deadly feud, that this method had entered their sight, and to play it was a lot of fun.

Those players who were really shady, would also be in a daze after they realized that this may be the result of their own mistakes, that they were suffering from the “retribution,” most weren’t very angry, just relieved that this was the extent of it.

After all, it meant that the hidden revenge had achieved its purpose, and would not come back to them. Even if they knew the identity of the other in the future, then they could also laugh at each other, and help to solve things!

The second category of discussion was the activity live broadcast scenes. In these posts, the players could see deliberately intercepted and slowed-down video, as well as the exaggerated expressions of a player’s face in a detail picture. 

In one of them, the person, A Liquor Store!, took up several famous scenes, and was evaluated by the audience as having an “angel face, devil voice.” The first time he opened his mouth, started singing and scared the ducks at his feet was also made into a video picture expression pack with a few big words, [still sleepy? Come and listen to me sing!]

The developer of the expression pack was possibly the first victim.

The last category of the most discussed content, much beyond Bai Li’s imagination, was actually the fellow netizens betting on who would be the first in the total points list of the Duck Catching Contest, and who would be able to exchange for a very small number of cherished items. It was clear that the event had been going for less than a day, but this group of people had already finished thinking about how to use the items after getting them.

[I heard from my friends in the game that LiLi made a total list of activity points on the day the activity started, not only the total, but also a sub-list for each village. If they are among the first 500 people on the list,then people can know their points based on that specific position. It is said that the competition is fierce…”

[I found the player named A Liquor Store! who was quite good at cutting duck feathers. For the third game of the event, he obviously sang, which was super difficult to listen to, but he sang every word so every word got a point, and the system judged it as passing, too great…]

[It’s a pity that LiLi and Big Brother Demon Xing were not caught in today’s live broadcast. I would have liked to see how they finished the two games…were any of you following the point rankings in the game? Can you tell me where these two are ranked?]

[I took a look for the brothers. LiLi is 29th in the overall standings, and Big Brother Demon Xing is 35th. They really are worthy of the first of twenty-five million people. The front score bites tightly, just one point can jump them several places. He came in 99th place, which is also a good ranking!]

After that, some people reported several game IDs, and the enthusiastic and patient players checked them one by one, some were on the list, some were not in the top 500. After knowing the results from their fellow netizens, they did not directly draw a conclusion. There were still two days to go, so they could only watch for now, but they also guessed to see which people could stay on the overall list of points.

It was said that this list, at the end of the event, would be recorded by the village chief into the Village Records, so that players could check it again later! After they talked about the rankings, the players who posted in the forum thought about the future and how to spend the points they got.

[Do you still need to think about it? If there are enough points, I must grab the island deed that each village gets. That’s an island! With the land deed, you’ll have more land than anyone else in the village! I have already thought that if I have an island, I must develop it well, so that it becomes a tourist resort island! I don’t know if LiLi will be in the game mall later in the game, and put on the shelves a teleportation array or something, then I’ll be able to develop the island’s tourism business…]

[handicapped has taken the initiative to skip this rare goods. I prefer the pet love nest. In our village we have a person from last month’s pet eggs who opened a snow-white unicorn, and I happen to have a colorful fairy fish. I want to try to give birth to rainbow unicorns, hey!]

[Vegetable raffle tickets are also good. If you are lucky enough to win, you can get 100 pounds of vegetables in one breath. How expensive are the vegetables in reality, and they obviously don’t taste great and still sell for super high prices. These vegetables are provided by LiLi, so how can I not look forward to how they taste? I want it all!]

“…”

Bai Li lay in the gaming pod, and looked at the various messages in the forum while he raised his hand and yawned. He had just left the game, so sleepiness and residual energy were parallel. He obviously already wanted to sleep, but his brain remained active.

After he yawned, he smiled and said, “Why do I find that the players in the game seem to be more and more optimistic lately?”

“Isn’t it good to be optimistic?” Wen XingYao took his hand to pull his upper body up and asked with the same smile, “It’s only when one is mentally relaxed that one can maintain an optimistic state of mind. This shows that the Carefree Farmstead treatment for Genetic Collapse Disorder is very successful. It’s only been a short time, but so many Interstellar people have been able to let go of their vigilance about their surroundings and get serious about enjoying their lives.”

This enjoyment, even though it was only in the game, it was enough.

Bai Li, the guest of honor, took advantage of Wen XingYao’s inattention. He lay on his back, and when he spoke, his exhaled hot air, which hit Wen XingYao behind his ears. “Whatever you say. Well…It’s good to be optimistic, silly and easily satisfied. Should I add a few more redeemable items into it, or increase the number of redemptions? I feel that in the end I can grab them but if I can’t grab what I like, I will cry super loud.”

Wen XingYao thought, I also want to make you cry super loudly now. However, after considering Bai Li’s proposal, he shook his head and refuted, “It’s your game, but I think it’s better not to do it. Since the prizes are already set, if you add more codes, it’s too easy to feed the players’ appetite. If you feel bad about it, just add the items to the game store and let the players who need it buy it themselves.”

For example, every time Bai Li added a new game item to the game store shelves, he would buy fifty or a hundred pieces of it, both for their own use, but it was also considered from a certain point of view to be supporting his boyfriend, right?

Since he loved him, he had to buy for him!

Bai Li hung on Wen XingYao’s body and thought for a while. During that period he didn’t resist and manifested three big tails that wrapped around him, which kindled the fire, but he figured it out. Using his waist, he twisted away from Wen XingYao’s body, retracted the big furry tails, and looked at Wen XingYao with a serious face. He agreed, “You’re right! I really shouldn’t be so spoiled. I better wait for the next activity to increase the intensity!”

As for a new item in the game store or something, he should just take his time. When he had an idea, then he could put it on the shelf.

Wen XingYao silently stared at Bai Li a few times. The inner foolishness in the other yawned after the temporary halt, and gave a soft sigh. He took the initiative to open the door of the gaming pod, and while he got out he said, “I’ll go to get some nutrient solution. Eat a little and then sleep well. Once you’re rested, I’ll cook you a good meal, okay?”

“Yes, yes. Let’s keep it simple and go to sleep after eating.”

The two of them made a deal, ate a nutritional solution to replenish their strength, and then lay down to rest.

In an interview a long time later, Bai Li was asked what he and Wen XingYao would discuss when they stayed together, and mentioned the discussion of that day in a nostalgic tone.

At that time, Bai Li’s fans were still the same group of players as they were currently, and as they listened, their expressions gradually went blank. It turned out that they were so close to out-of-print items…

Admiral, ah, Admiral! You are really worthy of an ID with the word “demon.” You are the demon princess!
