    • by Cristae What a treasure! Si Zhiyan’s eyes immediately lit up. By breaking it down this way, the total point value of the gear actually reached a stunning 450,000!

Even with a little…
    • by Cristae Hot springs, milk, ice cream…Take some time to enjoy life. When Si Zhiyan finished speaking, the place was immediately plunged into utter silence. The mercenaries of the Spring Grass Mercenary Group stood like wooden statues at the mouth of the cave, their minds unable to process what was happening.

    • by Cristae After all the crimson flames had died down, and their emotions had cooled, Nidhogg made a request.“Don’t let Shi He know what happened today.”Nidhogg leaned against the charred wall of the cabin, his powerful torso bare.His body was covered in injuries, but he seemed indifferent, lowering his head to bite a cigarette. A spark flared at his fingertips as he lit it.“As long as I don’t talk, that’s enough. I’ll take care of those players who went to the farm. We had a deal—I’ll work for you,…

    • by Cristae The farm repelled the Main God?!No, that’s not right. The Main God would never be dealt with so easily.That being said, although everyone called that enormous eye in the sky the , it seemed… there was no direct evidence proving it was truly the Main God.In that instant of clash, what Si Zhiyan saw, compared to the Main God itself, was more like a simple....An eye, weeping fiercely beneath the blinding glare.Si Zhiyan raised his head and, through the heavy fog, saw the giant eye hanging over the sky,…
    • by Cristae 53Survive "In its early stage, the farm feeds on cursed objects and tears of the fallen, wracked constantly by hunger.""It scours the remains of the dead, hunting or appeasing the blood and tears of those departed, living off such sustenance." "A farm that survives to the mid-stage can basically keep those sheltered beneath its wings well-fed, granting them temporary peace.""No doubt, you too have saved countless lives." "But sir, there is one thing you cannot overlook."Bian Xu smiled radiantly,…
    • by Cristae Si Zhiyan stepped into the forest once more.This time, the farm was entirely free of clouds and fog; the jungle teemed with life, unfurling before his eyes.The farm’s forest was vast—walking its length from end to end took about an hour.

The farm system’s prompt soon appeared, identifying each as a different…
    • by Cristae Si Zhiyan immediately summoned the rewards for Main Quest (3): the Perimeter Wall and Turret System. Si Zhiyan: "……"He had no time to argue with this lousy system.

Is something coming?”In the settlement, a service player trembled, clutching their head. “Am I imagining things? Who’s…
    • by Cristae The next day, dawn did not come. Si Zhiyan opened the door and discovered the world outside had turned into a vast expanse of white. The thick mist refused to dissipate, dense moisture condensed in every corner of the air, shutting out the sky. Beads of water gathered into rivulets, trickling slowly down the walls. Service Players stepped out of their tents, wandering in confusion, trying to comprehend this world. At the entrance to the residential cluster, the couplets painted in black ink on red…
    • by Cristae With the new day's sunrise, the farm before him had been completely transformed. If an LV1 farm was a countryside homestead and an LV2 farm was the holding of a self-sufficient smallholder,then LV3 was a sprawling, intensively-managed American-style estate. The cottage faced the lake, a small yard by the door, the water sparkling in the morning light.

    • by Cristae The night was deep.Battle raged at the Commander's residence, the fighting fierce and chaotic.
