The two old heads, Du Jiayin and Fan Yunping, left Hope Star at the beginning of the month and went back to Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Star, then rushed back at the end of the month.
The two of them were present for Bai Li and Wen XingYao’s engagement party. Bai Li thought they would stay on the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Star for a while, and hadnât expected them to come back so soon.
“You two⊔ He wanted to ask them why they seemed to be in such a hurry.
He didn’t expect to be quickly cut off by Du Jiayin.
“Haha! Little Bai Li, it’s been a long time. We two old guys really missed you.” He looked at Bai Li with a smiling face. “You want to ask why we came back so soon, right? It’s almost the end of the month, and all the game slots you have on hand have gone out, right? You have been able to grab Carefree Farmstead slots at the beginning of the month for several months in a row, and it would be a disappointment to the people of the Empire if there were none in June!”
“Yes, yes! There are still a lot of people on the Starnet who are sighing because they didn’t get a spot in the game,” Fan Yunping went along with Du Jiayin’s lead. “No, we came all the way here to give you something good. You also know that the highest level of the ‘virtual reality game builder’ is the S level, but itâs not that it canât continue to rise, but when we first researched this machine, we felt that there was no need, that it is impossible to have more than a billion people interested the same virtual reality game. After allâŠGetting a ‘Spiritual Pacification Estimate’ value in front of the eyes that can exceed 50% from a game is very few and far between.”
“Who would have thought that this year there would be such a big dark horse as Carefree Farmstead? It immediately changed the historical record. In fact, shortly after the Imperial Research Institute’s testing data for all virtual reality games this year came out, the Institute held several meetings to discuss the results, and the result was that more than half of us agreed to move in a more advanced direction for the ‘virtual reality game builder.’ However, because some of the materials are special and need to be applied carefully, we didn’t tell anyone about it⊔
The two old heads held on to Bai Li and told a long story. As they explained all the causes and consequences of the matter clearly, Bai Li also knew where they were coming from this time.
After Fan Yunping’s application for the special material, the two men took the Imperial Research Institute’s other people to bury their heads in research, and in less than a month’s time, they came up with one, exclusive to Bai Li, SSS-level âvirtual reality game builder.â
Its holographic reality was still only 99.9%, but the number of people in the game was completely unlimited. There was no longer any need to grab a game quota. Everyone could register an account and enter the world of Carefree Farmstead.
Bai Li actually had a hunch about the result, but how could he have imagined that his hunch would become a reality in such a short time?
To go from S to SSS levelâŠit was such a big span. That everyone could enter the game, according to his vision, it should be a step-by-step approach, first by increasing the number of places in the game, and then gradually letting everyone enter the game. But the Imperial Research Institute actually did it in one step.
When they looked at Bai Li’s face and his obvious consternation, the two old heads puffed up their chests with pride. They wouldnât tell Little Bai Li that the entire Imperial Research Institute was in an uproar of excitement and they didn’t have to do any more mobilization.Â
Bai Li thanked the two old heads again and again for their dedication, and started discussing with them how to announce the exciting news to the Empire.
Wen XingYao, who had been sitting quietly to the side while the two men had talked, thoughtfully offered his advice, “At the moment, the vegetable cultivation on Hope Star has just had a little success. The Therians who regressed back to their juvenile state are gradually recovering, and the Carefree Farmstead treatment for Genetic Collapse Disorder can be said to be very obvious. In my opinion, that the correct cure for Genetic Collapse Disorder is to grow natural ingredients in reality, and the fact that there will be no limit to the number of game slots for Carefree Farmstead are both such good news that they can be announced together. What do you three think?”
Bai Li and the two old heads looked at each other with very obvious intentions on their faces. They felt that Wen XingYao was right. The news should be announced together, so why not just say it together!
That night, a triple tsunami was ushered in on the Starblog.
Carefree FarmsteadV, [Good news, good news! Carefree Farmstead will usher in the most special upgrade. On the day of June 1st, 6:00-18:00, the game will be in downtime maintenance. At the end of maintenance, people who do not yet have a game quota can register their own game account on the game’s official website to log in and open a fantastic farming experience! This is something for everyone. Then there will be a draw for 100 million lucky fellow netizens, who will be sent a Carefree Farmstead farming gift bag! Go ahead and retweet this blog. Bring the good news to all your friends and family! Finally, thank you @the Imperial Research InstituteV. It’s your selfless contribution that keeps the tears off the faces of the people of the Empire. [doghead.jpg]]
The Imperial Research InstituteV, [Since the ‘Spiritual Pacification Estimate’ test report for this year’s new online virtual reality game, we have been following up on the study since it came out. Now, we can finally announce the good news to the whole Empire that Genetic Collapse Disorder, which has tormented the people of the Empire for countless years, has finally welcomed its destined enemy. Farming, or in other words to completely put down the desire to fight and destroy in your heart. To go and enjoy your life leisurely and do whatever you want to do, is the optimal solution to stabilize everyone’s spiritual world. According to the current results, entering the world of virtual reality game Carefree Farmstead and enjoying the life of farming, is the most effective treatment option. The problem of the game quota has been solved for you. Everyone can rush to play!]
The Imperial Military Department V, [The military department, Mr. Bai Li and the Imperial Research Institute have, with the Hope Star cooperation natural farming project, ushered in good results. The seed survival rate reached 80%, and the resulting crops have a taste and texture not found on other agricultural planets where crops are grown by robots. This cooperation will continue for a long time, and I believe that one day, the people of the Empire will be able to enjoy the delicious taste of Carefree Farmstead in reality.]
The three announcements were sent almost at the same time, but the content was like Mars hitting the Earth with a triple “clang, clang” to all the people of the Empire.
Night bright, [Wait. This seems to be a bit too much information. First let me slow downâŠLiLi’s blog is a great example of what they mean. Moreover, after we cure Genetic Collapse Disorder with the game, we still have a chance to eat real super rich tasting vegetables and fruits in reality?]
Starland Azure, [That’s what it means, right? I’m so excited I can’t breathe! The game quota, Genetic Collapse Disorder, and the reality of unpalatable natural foodsâŠI didn’t think that these three big problems that hang over the heads of all Imperial people would all be solved on the same day? Feelings. The Imperial Research Institute, thanks to the Admiral and the warriors of the military department, and finally, thanks to LiLi, for bringing such a big change in our lives QAQ!]
[The Imperial Research Institute and the Admiral went to Hope Star to plant a field. The answer was actually this. What a surprise! I’ve never looked forward to the next day as much as I did today!]
“…”
The next day, Carefree Farmstead kicked all players offline on time, then opened the downtime for maintenance. The two old heads personally went to work and helped Bai Li upgrade the S-grade âvirtual reality game builderâ to SSS-grade. To highlight its unique existence, the inside of the bracelet-style âvirtual reality game builderâ was engraved with “SSS” in golden letters.
Bai Li showed it to the people around him before he put it back on his wrist.
For the whole month of June, the entire Empire would have loved to live in the game world. After all, it was the game that had been craved for almost half a year. Originally, they thought that they would never have the opportunity, so when it suddenly fell from the sky it was a surprise. To let them have the key to enter, no matter what, they had to have a sufficient amount of play.
At the end of the month, the Holographic Game Design Competition ended earlier than the notified time, and Bai Li’s virtual reality game Carefree Farmstead became the well-deserved first place. That night, the players used homemade fireworks and set off fireworks in the game all night long as a celebration for Bai Li.
Of course, with so many villages setting off fireworks together, there were still a few minor accidents. According to incomplete statistics, a total of 128 villages had their dead grass or branches ignited by sparks that night, of which 103 villages had their fires quickly found and extinguished, and 24 villages had more than one residence burned down.
The remaining one village was more unlucky. Originally it was in a less water, dry air environment, and a newbie village that just came together with 5,000 people. After the fire, everything in the village was burned to the ground, and hair and skin were almost burned off the rookie players who directly opened hell survival mode. Really -they had to start again from scratch.
That was how a good happy event became a bad thing.
After he learned about all of that, Bai Li gave emergency instructions to all the NPCs in the villages to increase the fire prevention publicity modules, and from time to time to pull aside passing players and remind them with a sentence, to strive not to emulate the above tragedy.
After a month of playing the game drunkenly, the Interstellar people gradually found a balance between reality and the game. They remembered afterwards that they had not visited Hope Star for a month to see their family members who had reverted to their infancy.
When they went to book tickets, they found that they had to make reservations to go to Hope Star.
WellâŠThey also found that there was a button on the reservation screen that said, “Do you want to contact the person you made the reservation for?â
The video was quickly connected and the very familiar face of the person making the appointment appeared in the box. That person, wasn’t that his grandfather? How did he revert to his human form? When did he regain his human form? And why did he not contact his family at all to pick him up from Hope Star after his recovery?
So many questions were asked, but the grandfather himself was drifting from side to side, and not answering the questions.
“Ah, my dear grandson. I’m so glad you called me on this video. You’ve been busy playing games lately, haven’t you? I’m living here quite well, so you don’t have to waste your time visiting me. Let’s video contact sometime?”
“Grandfather, video is not as good as visiting you in person!” The grandson who did not want to said, “I have made an appointment. Tomorrow morning I leave and I should be able to arrive in the afternoon. Iâm bringing my mom and dad, and we will pick you up together to go home, ah!”
Since he had returned to human form, he would naturally want to go home and return to his original state of life! The grandson thought with joy, and later he went to tell the whole family the good news!
No sooner had he said that, than he was met with the grandfather’s frantic refusal, “No, no, no, no! I’m not coming back! I’m living here very well, and I’ve only spent a little money to buy a house and land. My vegetable seeds have just been sown, so how can I leave?! Even if you want to come over, don’t speak to me about picking me up. If the other people hear this, I am afraid that the number of people coming to my house to ask me if my house and land are for sale will break my threshold.â
Later on, the grandfather’s tone became more and more proud. He even bragged to his grandson that it was fortunate that he had recovered quickly enough, otherwise he wouldnât have been able to grab the first batch of houses developed in the residential community.
The grandson listened to the grandfather as he said that the Therians who had recently recovered from beast to human form on Hope Star had followed the military and the Imperial Research Institute to learn how to farm. There was a sense of reality and virtual dream linkage, and he was in a trance.
After he hung up the video, the grandson was blown by the cold wind outside, and his ears and brain, which were burning red from the scolding, finally figured out the possible reason why his grandfather didnât want them to go over to pick him up.
It’s not possibleâŠThat the grandfather was worried that they would compete with him for the land, right?
How could he put it? It was really possible.


Honestly the grandpa is so real đ I wouldn’t want to abandon my own crops either!
So now Hope Star is a different retirement planet?
