Chen Hao
Chapter 1 5 Hours and 59 Minutes Until the Arrival of the Destruction Era!
"After consumption, fullness +3, stamina +3."
"10% chance of negative status, causing abdominal cramps."
Nancheng.
Suburbs, a certain farm.
Li Tianran looked at the words floating in the void, stood up, took the fragrant egg fried rice from the girl in front of him, and said with a smile, "It's been sitting out for a while, it might be bad, I'll go get you another serving."
"I didn't plan on eating it anyway." The girl's posture was a bit reserved, and her dress was exquisite, which was somewhat out of place with the slightly old surroundings. She frowned slightly and said, "Li Tianran, I've had enough! If you keep guarding this broken farm and refuse to move, I'll break up with you."
Li Tianran, who was about to take the plate away, stopped when he heard this, looked at his girlfriend, and corrected expressionlessly: "Please get this straight, this isn't a broken farm, but a farm that integrates catering, planting, and animal husbandry!"
"Also, all your expenses this year have come from this so-called broken farm of yours."
"Including that Chanel scarf worth 30,000 yuan you're wearing."
Li Tianran.
Male.
26 years old.
Unemployed, running a broken manor inherited from his ancestors. His specific job is... farming and raising sheep.
The girl in front of him, Zhong Ling, is his girlfriend, and their relationship is very good.
Or rather, it used to be very good.
"Li Tianran, I'm not joking with you! My colleagues at the company are all laughing at me for having a farmer as a boyfriend. If you don't change your job, we won't get married." Zhong Ling frowned and said to Li Tianran, word by word, staring into his eyes.
Li Tianran frowned.
Their wedding is in three months.
He looked up at the slightly dilapidated farm outside the window, feeling a burst of irritability in his heart.
Another series of data appeared before his eyes.
"A poorly managed manor."
"Area: 30 mu"
"Can be used for fishing, animal husbandry, planting, and construction"
"Profit and loss status: Loss"
Seven days ago, his body suddenly underwent a strange change. All things would display this series of notes in front of his eyes.
But after testing, he found that this ability, apart from providing more intuitive information, had no other greater use. And most importantly, this ability could only be used within his manor. Once he left, he was no different from an ordinary person!
This might be a so-called "golden finger" of some kind, but unfortunately, its appearance didn't change Li Tianran's life.
He still didn't get rich overnight and reach the peak of his life.
He's even facing the embarrassment of being dumped by his girlfriend.
After a long silence, Li Tianran finally compromised and sighed, "Okay, I can go out and find a job."
A smile appeared on Zhong Ling's face, as if celebrating her victory.
Just then, Li Tianran suddenly heard an abrupt mechanical female voice in his ear.
"Doomsday Game player matching complete, officially loading, please wait..."
Li Tianran was stunned. Thinking that there was something wrong with his ears, he asked softly, "Zhong Ling, did you hear anything?"
Golden finger mutation?
"Don't change the subject!" Zhong Ling crossed her arms in front of her chest, feeling that she should seize the opportunity to remove the last obstacle between her and Li Tianran. So, she continued, "It's fine if you want to get married, I have one more condition, which is... send that little burden away too."
Li Tianran's train of thought was suddenly interrupted. The expression on his face froze, and he asked with a frown, "What did you say?"
"I said let you send Li Han to the orphanage, anyway, she has no blood relationship with you..."
"Bullshit!"
A suppressed roar suddenly erupted in the room.
The plate in Li Tianran's hand fell directly in front of Zhong Ling, shattering into countless pieces. The warm rice splashed on Zhong Ling's body, instantly staining her Chanel scarf!
"Li Tianran, what are you doing?!" Zhong Ling screamed.
Li Tianran said expressionlessly, pointing outside, "Get out now, don't force me to slap you."
"You're a madman!" Zhong Ling said in a panic and angrily, "Don't think I'm unwanted! Let me tell you the truth, the vice president of our company has been pursuing me for a long time. As long as I agree, I can immediately live a life a hundred times better than this!"
…
The door of the manor reception room was violently pushed open.
Zhong Ling left angrily and resentfully.
Li Tianran stood in front of the window with his hands in his pockets, expressionlessly, and muttered to himself, "Vice president of the company, what a big shot! I hope you won't regret it… idiot."
Just then, two small heads poked in at the door.
To be precise, it was a little girl and... a fierce-looking black German Shepherd.
The little girl's features were exquisite, but her hair was slightly yellow and looked a bit malnourished. She had a chubby little face and ear-length bangs.
The black German Shepherd wagged its tail wildly when it saw Li Tianran, and then stared at the chicken leg on the table, unable to take its eyes off it. Unfortunately, its ears were firmly grasped by the little girl, and it couldn't move at all, so it could only continue to whine pitifully.
Li Tianran's gaze lingered on the little girl.
"Li Han"
Identity: Human cub
Age: Seven years old
Strength: 1
Intelligence: 3
Speed: 1
Spirit: 9
Hunger level: 99
Evaluation: This is a weak, pitiful, and helpless child, but she's always full of energy and can eat a lot.
"Big brother, I just saw Sister Zhong leave in a huff. Did you guys fight?" Li Han asked curiously in somewhat broken Mandarin.
"..." Li Tianran nodded vaguely, without answering directly.
"Is it because of me?" Li Han asked timidly, pouting.
Logically speaking, this is the third girl who broke up with Li Tianran because of her...
Although she's only seven years old, she already understands some things.
Li Tianran's eyes softened, and he affectionately messed up the little girl's neat hair into a tangled mess. "She's not worthy of such a good Han Han! Out with the old, in with the new, I'll find you a prettier sister-in-law later!"
"Yeah!" Han Han nodded vigorously, then clutched her little belly and said miserably, "Big brother, I'm hungry again..."
Li Tianran laughed.
The disappointment of being dumped didn't make him depressed. As long as he saw this little thing, he could immediately cheer up again.
Although they're not related by blood, they've long considered each other indispensable people in their lives.
Blood ties really aren't that important.
"I'll fry some rice for you right away." Li Tianran cleaned up the mess on the ground, then put on his apron and turned towards the kitchen.
Before entering the kitchen, he looked again at the black German Shepherd who was being beaten by Han Han on the ground for trying to steal something to eat.
"Xiao Hei"
Identity: Czech Wolfdog
Age: 3
Strength: 5
Intelligence: 2
Speed: 12 (Adult standard is 10)
Spirit: 5
Hunger level: 35
Evaluation: This is a loyal and fierce Czech Wolfdog that only shows gentleness to those it trusts! Warning: Do not try to harm its companions. If you see it arching its back, baring its fangs, and making a "woo woo" sound... run! Run immediately!
Li Tianran was a little helpless.
Seriously, what the hell is this golden finger, an appraisal master or a human scanner?
He suddenly remembered the prompt that sounded when he was talking to Zhong Ling.
Doomsday Game…
Speaking of which, strange things have been happening lately, such as the sudden climate change, flying snow in June, and the sudden, inexplicable deaths of large numbers of cattle and sheep in certain breeding areas.
Li Tianran rubbed his forehead and walked into the kitchen, took out a bag of rice, poured in an appropriate amount of rice, and then washed it.
Just then, the prompt sounded again in his ear.
"Ding, game loading successful, shelter binding successful, points shop activated, newbie rewards issued! Please explore on your own!"
The crisp female voice startled Li Tianran.
However, before he could react, an unbearable pain suddenly came from his head!
In an instant, he only felt as if a large-capacity storage U disk had been connected to his brain, and countless pieces of information poured in. After a moment, he opened his eyes, panting, and was shocked to find a brand new virtual interface popping up in front of him!
"Doomsday Game
Player: Li Tianran
Shelter: A poorly managed manor (Lv1)
Shelter Lv1 Skill Reward: Eye of Truth (All objects and creatures will be displayed in data form in front of the host)
Level: Bed and Breakfast level! (Points required to upgrade to Fortress level: 8,000,000!)
Area: 30 mu!"
Existing: Accommodation area, planting area, pasture area, rugged terrain!"
At this time, the vast farm was cut by virtual light and shadow lines, dividing it into seven or eight different areas!
"Level 3 area with plenty of sunlight, suitable for planting, accelerating crop growth!"
"Abundant pastures where cattle and sheep can eat the most fertile grass!"
"The rugged area on the edge can be used to build fortifications with half the effort!"
Li Tianran's mouth slowly widened. Then, he saw an extremely conspicuous scarlet character in the upper right corner of the virtual interface.
"The end is coming, the world is destroyed by natural disasters, the shelter is the only fortress you can rely on, please grasp hope and build a new civilization on the ruins!"
"The player's only task: to survive in the Doomsday Game and make your shelter the most solid castle!"
"There are 5 hours, 59 minutes, and 36 seconds left until the arrival of the Doom Era!"
