Chapter 4

Damn... this is really damn!

The next moment, everything went black before his eyes, and he found himself in a strange space. All around him looked like QQ Farm, with ten plots of land in front of him, all planted with pasture grass, and some fields left fallow on the side.

Not far away, there was even a doghouse, with a bowl in front of it—empty, of course—dog food had to be bought with money.

Besides, if you bought dog food, how could the boss happily steal crops?

Jason Ford was stunned for a full ten minutes. He gave himself a hard slap, and only after feeling the pain did he jump up high, “Damn... what the hell, what the hell, what the hell...”

He was so excited he was incoherent. An adventure, this was definitely a legendary adventure.

As it turned out, it really was an adventure. He actually had the chance to harvest the pasture himself. No need for a sickle or anything—he just reached out and grabbed a handful. Truly “grasping grass.”

But... harvesting grass is exhausting. Strictly speaking, manually collecting pasture from the fields is really hard work.

It took Jason Ford almost half an hour to finish pulling up one plot of pasture. That plot was at least half a mu in size—why make the field so big? Got nothing better to do?

Then he stood up, “So... how do I get out? System, system, are you there?”

He hoped the system would appear as a fairy in white robes, or at least a robot. Just not a loli—lolis are the worst, who knows who they’re trying to act cute for.

Unfortunately, there was nothing at all. Not even the most annoying loli, not even a system notification sound.

Looking at the mature pasture in the remaining nine plots, Jason Ford muttered softly, “Maybe... I have to finish harvesting everything before I can leave?”

Six hours later, Jason Ford sat on the ridge between the fields, panting as he looked at the ten empty plots in front of him, wishing he could just collapse and sleep right there. “Damn, this really isn’t work for a human. System... system, aren’t you coming out yet?”

Still no response.

“Fine, a loli is okay too,” Jason Ford was ready to give in. “Loli... loli, aren’t you coming out yet?”

Still no response.

Jason Ford started to panic a little. What if he couldn’t get out? Life might be a bit unsatisfactory, but... I’m really not ready to be a farmer, let alone a farmer inside a game.

Thinking of how tragic that would be, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy: what if I can get in but not out, and my whole being turns into a stream of data made up of “0”s and “1”s?

After many attempts, half an hour later, Jason Ford finally returned to reality.

First, he looked around, then pinched his thigh—he had no choice, that slap earlier was so hard his ears were still ringing, so pinching himself seemed more appropriate.

The pain from his thigh told him: yes, he was really back in reality.

He let out a long sigh of relief. “Damn, I was about to say if I really had no choice, I’d have to go explore outside the farm.”

As it turned out, there was no overpowered system or anything in that strange farm space. The reason he couldn’t get out earlier was because there was a tiny blade of grass left in one of the plots.

Just because he hadn’t completely harvested the pasture, he almost starved to death in the game. What a painful lesson.

“Looks like this farm really does strictly follow the program settings,” Jason Ford said to himself, with a wry smile on his face.

Next, as the beneficiary of this adventure, of course he had to analyze where this adventure came from.

But the next moment, Jason Ford’s stomach rumbled loudly—he hadn’t eaten for seven or eight hours, especially after doing all that physical labor.

However, when he glanced at the time in the upper right corner of his phone, he was shocked again. “Damn, it’s still eight o’clock in the evening?”

Checking the date, Jason Ford could confirm that he was still living on the same day, the day he drank a lot and then got struck by lightning.

In other words, after entering the farm, even though he spent seven hours inside, time outside had actually stood still!

“What an awesome thing,” he couldn’t help but exclaim, and then his imagination ran wild. With such a heaven-defying treasure or opportunity, when I reach the peak of my life, what kind of swaggering walk should I use?

And when I’m holding a rich, beautiful woman, what kind of pose should I strike?

Or, if one rich, beautiful woman isn’t enough, maybe I could have a few more...

Alright, those were just fleeting thoughts. The urgent thing now was that he had to go out and get something to eat.

When he stood up from the bed, his legs suddenly felt weak and everything went black before his eyes. If he hadn’t reached out to steady himself against the wall, he would have collapsed to the floor.

A bit... over-hungry? Jason Ford closed his eyes tightly, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly opened them. “No way, I have to have a big meal today to reward myself.”

Just as he reached the door of his room, a chubby guy hurried in from outside. Seeing how exhausted he looked, the guy was stunned. “Damn, what have you been up to?”
