Chapter 1 Suddenly you can enter the game!

Reality can be a beautiful and soft girl who allows you to experience all the good things, or it can be a fat and fierce woman who makes you breathless, depending on how much money you have in savings.

…

The scorching sun in August makes people feel restless.

Youcheng County.

A shitty place where the average salary is 3,000 or 4,000 and the average house price is 12,000.

In the small fruit and vegetable shop, Qin Lin handed the vegetables in his hand to a middle-aged woman with a smile on his face: "Auntie, your vegetables, welcome to come next time."

After seeing the guests off, I looked at a few annoying flies and had to pick up a fly swatter to drive them away.

After a chaotic fight, several corpses were beheaded.

Qin Lin sat back at the cashier counter, picked up his phone and opened a new nostalgic game called "Story of Seasons".

This is a farming and development game that is very open and does not require much technical skills. It is a good way for people who run a shop to kill time.

It has been a year since I graduated, but I have not achieved anything. I majored in tourism management but now I am selling fruits and vegetables. However, reality always leaves me with no choice.

His family had been poor for three generations. His grandfather fell ill a few years ago, and before he died, his father worked hard from dawn to dusk in this fruit and vegetable shop to cover his grandfather's medical expenses and family expenses.

But it seemed like God was playing a joke on their family. After grandpa passed away, dad was also diagnosed with cancer due to long-term overwork.

My mother could barely make ends meet with this small fruit and vegetable shop. Even after selling the house and borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars from everywhere to save my father, she still couldn't save him.

My mother herself has also developed health problems due to overwork. Her test results are not very good and she needs someone to take care of her.

Therefore, even if he had the opportunity to stay in a large company after graduation, he had to come back to take care of his mother and inherit this small fruit and vegetable store, including the family's foreign debt.

If the starting point for most people is 0, his is negative hundreds of thousands.

There is nothing fair in life.

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about looking for opportunities while running the store, but for a graduate, he not only lacked social experience, but also had no funds.

Relying on the income from this store to cover expenses and my mother's nutrition, plus paying off some foreign debts every month, is already a struggle. The balance on the card is less than 4,500 yuan.

He doesn't even have the right to go to the hospital if he has a cold.

After all, he can't make 100,000 or 1 million yuan a month by running a 30-square-meter fruit shop on the Tik Tok platform. That's a magical place where the average income per person is 100 million yuan.

Until his mother's health improves and she no longer needs care, he can only stay in this small shop to survive.

He sighed, controlled the game character and walked out of the room. In front of him were six squares of land planted with watermelons. He had just started the game and only these six squares were opened.

Weeding and watering!

After waiting for a while, the watermelons on the 6 grids of the ground also showed signs of ripening one after another. The flow of time in the game is always different. The watermelons that take several months to ripen in reality can ripen in more than ten hours in the game.

Each piece of land can produce about 15 to 20 watermelons.

Qin Lin was about to control the game character to pick watermelons when suddenly electric currents shot out from his mobile phone, paralyzing his whole body in an instant.

Leakage?

Qin Lin subconsciously wanted to curse.

This isn't a Samsung phone, how could a battery leak have such a huge impact?

"Ding! Special game channel activated, locked in the game "Story of Seasons", please wait..."

“???” Qin Lin patted his head.

Can you have hallucinations after getting an electric shock?

"Ding! The special game channel has been successfully connected. The game "Story of Seasons" has been connected. Is this the host's first time entering the game?"

At the same time, a very psychedelic picture appeared in Qin Lin's mind. It was a pasture with ripe watermelons lying on the six grids of ground.

Is this the game screen of "Story of Seasons"?

The game character was still standing in front of the watermelon field. He had just controlled the character to pick watermelons.

What was even more incredible was that as soon as he thought about it, the game character came forward and picked a watermelon.

Is this a way to play games in your mind using your thoughts?

Then, Qin Lin found a special prompt option above the screen: Do you want to enter?

"yes!"

Qin Lin thought about the previous hints, found it incredible, and tried to make a choice.

A strange suction force appeared, and almost instantly, the scene in front of his eyes changed.

In front of me is a lush green watermelon field.

There was a special fragrance of watermelon floating in the air, and he was holding a watermelon in his hand, as if he had replaced the game character.

"Isn't this an illusion?" Qin Lin was incredulous. The watermelon in his hand felt incredibly real, and a message was floating in his mind:

【Seedless Watermelon: Quality 1】

【Note: Although it is not a special type of watermelon, it is produced in the game and is the best among ordinary watermelons.

Delicious +1, Sweet +1, Taste +1. 】

The fruits grown in this version of Ranch Story have different qualities. The higher the quality, the tastier they are and the higher the selling price.

However, this note is different from the game, and it actually has attribute bonuses.

Qin Lin put down the watermelon in his hand and picked a few more. The same information appeared. Each one had the same remarks, with the attributes of delicious +1 and sweet +1.

He looked around again: the building with the windmill, the storage room, the fence...

Everything is the same as the game screen.

The only difference is that the land in front of you is really a vast piece of land, planted with watermelons. It is not a small modular grid in the game, and even the fruits planted are represented by numbers.

Moreover, looking at the time on the phone, after he came in, the flow of game time returned to normal.

Then, Qin Lin remembered something and hurriedly looked at the picture in his mind again.

He is afraid that he can't go back, so won't his mother be worried to death?

But the picture in my mind changed, and it turned into a scene in a fruit and vegetable store. The prompt above also changed: Do you want to exit?

This obviously means free entry and exit.

Qin Lin silently said to himself "quit", and that special sucking feeling appeared again. He returned to the fruit and vegetable store with a watermelon in his hand.

To make sure of its authenticity, he took a knife, placed the watermelon on the chopping board and cut it in half. The red flesh was exposed, but not a single seed was visible.

This is real!

Qin Lin took another half and cut it into several slices. He picked up a slice and wanted to taste it, but he was afraid that something might go wrong. After all, the watermelon was so incredible.

When I walked to the door of the store, I saw a dirty black dog hanging around in front of a trash can.

This is a market street, where food is easy to find and stray dogs often appear. When the relevant authorities catch one, a new one will arrive after a while.

This can only be blamed on the fact that there are too many people who obviously do not have the conditions but keep dogs on a whim.

Qin Lin threw a slice of watermelon directly over. The black dog pounced on it and pressed the watermelon with its claws. Then it subconsciously looked around and saw that there was nothing wrong before it lowered its head and ate it.

After waiting for some time and finding that there was nothing unusual about the black dog, Qin Lin picked up a petal and tasted it himself.

After taking a bite, Qin Lin's eyes lit up.

He understood more clearly what Watermelon's note meant.

It's incredibly sweet, deliciously juicy, incredibly sweet, and incredibly refreshing.

This watermelon is definitely much more delicious than the ones he usually buys.

Is this the result of the attributes of deliciousness +1, sweetness +1, and taste +1?

As someone who works in this field, he naturally understands that it would be great if there were only a few watermelons of this quality among a hundred, and every one in the game is like this.

After finishing one slice of watermelon, Qin Lin still enjoyed it and picked up the second slice to eat.

In fact, the profit from selling watermelons is not high. Even though the price has risen to 2 yuan per catty now, after deducting the cost of fruit farmers, labor, shipping costs, and wholesaler markups..., the wholesale price for a small fruit and vegetable store like his is already 1.5 yuan per catty, which means there is basically no profit.

But what if the watermelon has no cost? How many watermelons can be sold for pure profit?

Qin Lin's eyes lit up when he thought of the watermelons in the farm.

If one watermelon weighs 10 jin and one jin costs 2 yuan, that's 20 yuan. Ten watermelons mean a net profit of 200 yuan.

If he sells 20 melons a day, he can earn 12,000 yuan a month, which is more than what he can earn by working hard selling fruits and vegetables for a month.

There should be hundreds of watermelons in the game. The key is that the land in the game can be used to plant watermelons repeatedly, and the watermelons can mature in more than 10 hours.

"Woof woof!"

Qin Lin was just thinking when he heard a dog barking in his ears. It was the black dog squatting at the door of the store, staring at the melon in his hand.

This dog is obviously getting too far?

Fortunately, he was in a good mood. He took another slice of watermelon and threw it to the black dog, then pulled down the shutter of the shop.

This way, outsiders can't see what's going on in the store.

He took the basket used to purchase goods from the store, and with a thought, he entered the ranch again.

What caught his eye was still the watermelons all over the ground. Qin Lin was not polite at all and picked up the watermelons one by one and put them into the basket.

He filled the basket with 15 watermelons in a row before he took the basket and returned to the store.

Looking at the full basket of watermelons, Qin Lin's face was full of excitement.

You're going to get rich.

Looking at the light screen in my mind again, I saw that the number of watermelons on the ground in the game screen had reached 0, and the watermelon vines had withered. The system prompted me to remove them and replant them.

In the game, you can only pick the fruits of crops once, unlike in real life where the crops can grow again after being picked.

Qin Lin looked at the prompt and thought of something. He immediately controlled the game character through the game screen in his mind and picked the fruits in the other squares.

In an instant, several grids of land were harvested.

Qin Lin entered the game again. There were no watermelons on those plots of land. Only lonely watermelon vines remained.

He walked towards the storage room next to the house, and when he opened the door he saw hundreds of watermelons stored inside.

Can't you just bring in a basket and put it in? You were busy doing nothing just now.

There is an information sign in front of the watermelon pile.

Seedless Watermelon: 90 (Quality 1).

That is to say, there are 90 watermelons in this pile, and judging from the volume, they are definitely over 10 kilograms, so this pile is worth at least 1,700 yuan.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Qin Lin returned to the store, picked up the basket again, entered the game, and filled the basket with watermelons.

He also discovered that as long as he touched the basket with his hand and exited the game with a thought, the basket of watermelons would follow him to the store outside.

It took him some time to move all the watermelons out, filling up a corner of the store.

Including the basket that was moved out at the beginning, there were a total of 105 watermelons.

After finishing, he looked at his mind again, which turned into the game screen again. Only watermelon vines were left on several plots of land, and it was prompted that they could be removed and replanted.

He immediately removed the watermelon vines and planted new watermelon seeds.

In this way, more than 10 hours later, another pile of watermelons came out.

Now we have to sell all these watermelons.

Qin Lin opened the shop's shutter door again. The black dog lay beside the door, looked up at him, then changed to a comfortable position and licked its paws.

The dog won't leave?

He didn't have time to care about the dog now. He put the basket of watermelons he had just brought out on the fruit stall and looked at the price tag of 2 yuan per catty.

This is his normal purchase price, but at this price, his shop only sells a few watermelons every day.

Looking at the watermelons taken out from the game, he changed the wholesale price to 1.5 yuan per catty. After all, the watermelons were free of cost, so they would sell better if the price was lowered.

But the situation was not as he expected. As the afternoon passed, he only sold a few watermelons. It was not because the watermelons were not good, but because the people who patronized his store were the ones who had the demand to buy watermelons.

After thinking about it, Qin Lin slapped his head and felt that he had chosen the wrong target. Since the wholesale price was 1.5 yuan per catty, there was no need to sell them one by one in the store.

He immediately took out his mobile phone and logged into a WeChat group.

This is a group of owners of fruit and vegetable shops in Youcheng. At first, no one knew who created it. They said it was a simple group to understand the market and avoid being cheated by wholesalers.

Normally, apart from a few people who like to hang out in the group, there is not much communication between them.

After opening the group chat, Qin Lin sent a message: The son of the uncle of my second uncle's nephew in my hometown has grown a batch of seedless watermelons. The watermelons are sweet and juicy. They are sold wholesale at 1.5 yuan per catty and delivered directly to your door. Anyone who is interested is welcome to come and taste them.
