A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Fang Shiqing opened his eyes and found himself lying on a completely strange single bed in a completely strange room.

The whole room only has an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters, and there are only a small table, two chairs, a cabinet, a TV less than [-] inches with the TV cabinet below, and this single bed.The room looks old and quaint overall, but everything is cleaned very well and looks like it has just been tidied up.

He got up with a blank face, stretched his arms and kicked his legs, and then walked around in a circle, checking the situation in the room.The cabinets and drawers are all empty, and there is not even a speck of dust in it.

——Where is this place?

The door opens on the south side of the room.He pushed and found that it was locked from the inside, so he tentatively opened the lock and walked out.

It suddenly opened up.It was still daytime, and it was the best time for the sun; the warm sunlight fell on the body, making people feel extra comfortable.

In front of him was a large barren field that could not be seen as far as the eye could see, with weeds and strangely shaped stones scattered everywhere, and a few trees of indistinguishable species growing here and there.The appearance looks a bit dilapidated, but there is also a kind of vitality and wild beauty.

The fresh air was refreshing, but this strange sight could not reassure him.Fang Shiqing always felt that this picture was a bit familiar, just when he looked around carefully——

"Are you awake?"

An old voice sounded not far away, causing Fang Shiqing to take a big step back in fright.

"Who?" He saw clearly that the other party was a smiling old man, and quickly eased his breath, "Who are you...? What is this place? Why am I...here?"

The old man was originally standing on the side of the road on the east side of the house, but now he wobbled towards Fang Shiqing.His hair is more than half gray, but he is in good spirits, and he walks very neatly. At first glance, he looks like the kind of old man who does Tai Chi in the middle of the street park in the morning.

"You don't remember? You fainted as soon as you got off the train yesterday. After seeing it, the doctor said it was due to fatigue, and then everyone sent you to your grandfather's old house first." The old man looked at his face, "Did you sleep well at night? Well, judging by your face, it's much better than yesterday. Is this old house comfortable to live in?"

Fang Shiqing was at a loss: "Wait, wait a minute—you mean, the train?"

When did he ride a train?If I remember correctly, he should have been at home yesterday—

"That's right, you really don't remember? Wait, you should be Xiao Fang, right?" The old man took out a stack of documents from nowhere, put on his reading glasses, pointed at the content on the documents, and muttered "The name is...Fang Shiqing, you are Xiao Fang and Fang Shiqing who are here to inherit your grandfather's farm, right?"

Inheriting...the farm?In other words, this wasteland is a farm?

"Huh? Ah, I am indeed Fang Shiqing..."

He was completely dumbfounded, thinking that when did my grandfather, a veteran government cadre, ever open a farm?

"Hey, isn't that right?"

The uncle smiled in satisfaction, grabbed his hand, and shook it up and down a few times.

"Welcome to our Fengyue Town! The farms in the town have been deserted for so long, and finally someone has come to run them. It's great. Everyone is looking forward to your coming. I hope young people can give our town such new vitality. Young man, work hard, make a lot of money as soon as possible, and generate income for the town in the future—"

After capturing several key words of "small town", "management" and "farm", combined with the somewhat familiar surrounding scenes, Fang Shiqing vaguely had an idea in his mind.But this idea was a bit earth-shattering, and for a moment he didn't dare to believe it, so he hesitated and nodded.

"I...I must work hard, by the way, uncle, what's your name?"

"Oh, after all, I actually forgot the most important thing," the uncle woke up suddenly, "I am Li Dasheng, the mayor of Fengyue Town, the one who sent you the contract before, and your grandfather had friendship before. "

"Mayor Li." Fang Shiqing immediately changed his words.Hearing this, the vague idea before became more and more clear.

"Hey, hey." The uncle's face turned into a flower, and he took out a big paper bag from behind and stuffed it into Fang Shiqing's arms, "These are congratulatory gifts for the opening of your new farm. You are new here, and you probably don't know how the farm works. Do you want to run it? Don’t be afraid, there is the "Basic Farm Management Manual" in it, learn a little bit according to the above, and you will be able to get started soon. There is also a map of the town for you, so you have more time Let's go to the town, the residents of the town really want to see you. By the way, you must go to the bulletin board in the town center square early. Some important announcements are often posted there. It is good to read !"

The paper bag was very heavy. If it was the "normal" Fang Shiqing from before, he would have missed it and smashed it to the ground.But now he was holding it firmly with both arms, and he didn't feel much difficulty, which surprised him a little.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Mayor Li, I'll definitely go." He agreed wholeheartedly.

After sending off the enthusiastic mayor, he opened the paper bag in twos and twos, and found that there was a brand new backpack and a stack of banknotes sealed in an envelope, in addition to the map and the "Basic Farm Management Manual" up.

Open the manual, on the first page there is a line of big black characters:

"Go to the bulletin board."

The subtle premonition in my heart became more and more obvious.Fang Shiqing stuffed things into the backpack in a hurry, threw the backpack over his shoulder, and ran to the exit on the east side of the farm.

A fence around the farm turned this world into a separate scene isolated from the world. At the entrance and exit, there was a striking sign——

"Cool Farm"

This farm is called Qingliang Farm?What a strange name.Fang Shiqing complained silently in his heart, and at the same time unfolded the map of the town, followed the guidance of the map, and ran to the central square of the town, which is where the "bulletin board" as the mayor called it.

This Fengyue Town is not big, even though Fang Shiqing accidentally took the wrong road halfway and made a detour, it took less than half an hour to find the central square.The square is neat and beautiful, and the fountain in the middle is very eye-catching.It was probably afternoon at this time, and there were many scattered townspeople in the square for leisure and play; a few children were chasing and playing back and forth, a couple of housewives were standing by and chatting and laughing, and a young couple was sitting by the fountain. I Lennon.

Fang Shiqing looked around, and quickly locked on to the bulletin board in the corner.

It can be regarded as the cleanest corner in the whole square.No matter if it was a child playing or an old man taking a walk, they avoided that direction tacitly, and would rather walk to the opposite trash can than approach it.

Only a long-haired girl wearing glasses was sitting on a bench next to the bulletin board, holding her knees in a daze.Fang Shiqing took a few glances at her, then looked away, and walked to the bulletin board.

There are several bulletins posted here and there scattered throughout the bulletin board, most of them are illegible, only one is particularly clear.Fang Shiqing's mind exploded with a bang as soon as his eyes touched the black and white words on it——

It reads like this:

"Dear player Fang Shiqing:

Thank you for participating in the first test of "Welcome to Fengyue Town"!This work is a highly simulated management/development game simulated by special technology, and strives to combine the ease and joy of the game with the high degree of freedom of reality, and give players the most comfortable and refreshing game experience.

Your game identity is the operator of 'Qingliang Farm', and you will get 500 yuan of game coins as the start-up capital and the permission to use 'Qingliang Farm'.The game method is: manage the farm, and obtain game currency (that is, the common currency of Fengyue Town) by selling crops, etc.For detailed operation methods, please refer to the "Operation Manual" provided by the system for viewing. I wish you a happy game! "

While he was reading the announcement, a clear and crisp reminder sounded in his ears.

"Ding-, you get 500 game coins."

"Ding-, you have bound the map of Fengyue Town, and you can check it at any time."

"Ding-, you have obtained the item [medium-sized backpack], current load: 30"

The surrounding scene was slightly blurred, and then the small and exquisite item bar popped up in the lower left corner of the field of vision, and the whole world suddenly felt like a game.

- unexpectedly...

Fang Shiqing covered his head.

I didn't expect my idea to come true.This is really a business simulation game!No wonder this development is so similar to the management games he used to like to play. The protagonist’s grandfather left the protagonist a long-abandoned farm for him to inherit. Isn’t this the usual routine of this type of game!

He didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he pinched himself first, grinning in pain and jumping his feet.Since he can still feel pain, it means that this is not a dream; however... such a real simulation game?Is the current game technology so terrible? !Or……

He tentatively touched the bulletin board in front of him, the glass on the surface was icy cold.He sniffed again, and there was a scent of plants in the air.It's all too real.

At this moment, a few lines of large red characters appeared at the bottom of the announcement.

"Note: This game cannot be logged out by itself. The only way to leave the game and return to the real world is to complete the following task: cooperate with other players to earn 200 million game currency in the game.

After returning to the real world, the system will issue corresponding rewards to you as compensation for participating in the game.

Do not try to break the rules of the game by using crooked ways, so as not to cause damage to the game body, which will cause irreversible and vicious consequences to all players including you.

Subsequent announcements will be released at any time with map development/story triggering/mission completion, please be sure to pay attention to the relevant content on the bulletin board in time. "

——[Unable to log out by itself].

This short paragraph is much more terrifying than the previous content.

Unable to... log out on your own?This also means that the players are forced to be locked in the game?

Fang Shiqing suddenly recalled the countless novels and comics he had read.The consciousness of the protagonist of the story is trapped in a certain game, unable to log out, and has to track down the mastermind behind the scenes while working hard to complete the task-this is simply a more iconic beginning than "my grandpa left me a farm".

There was the sound of someone gasping for air.He turned his head and looked, and found that there were a few more strangers around him at some point, both men and women.Everyone is paying attention to the announcement, but it seems that everyone is not looking at the same one.

Presumably everyone has their own corresponding announcement.Except for my own, everyone else's is indistinct.

The man next to him noticed his gaze and smiled at him, but the smile was very forced.

It's no wonder that any normal person who suddenly finds himself locked into a weird game can't stop laughing.

However, Fang Shiqing quickly calmed down, even calmer than before when he knew nothing about it.

He quietly walked aside and sat down on the bench.The long-haired girl next to him glanced at him.

"...are you a 'player too?'" she asked.

"En." Fang Shiqing nodded.

"Aren't you afraid?" After a while, the girl asked again.

"Ah? Oh," he thought the other party was afraid, so he comforted him, "Don't be afraid, this is just a simulation business game, there is no need to be afraid."

"..." The girl stopped talking, and just silently glanced at him with the eyes of caring for a fool.
