Chapter 2130: Bountiful Harvest Farm's Miraculous Daily Life 01

【Now transmitting world plot……transmission successful!】

In a remote place, deep within encircling mountains, there is a Hope Village.

At the village's edge lies vast fields; at the fields' end is a wooden fence entwined with vines, beyond which is the villagers' legendary Bountiful Harvest Farm.

No one knows the farm's true origin; the village elders only vaguely say that a mysterious couple once lived here, and the crops they grew were always plumper and sweeter than elsewhere.

But one day they suddenly vanished, leaving only this farm, quietly awaiting its new owner.

Until this day, a young person stepped onto this land.

Villain Lin Mian, the new farm owner who inherited Bountiful Harvest Farm.

Before receiving the letter, he didn't even know his parents had once been farm owners.

And since his father disappeared and his mother set out to find him, the first thing Lin Mian, who hadn't seen them in nearly ten years, saw was actually the place where his parents once lived.

Inside the farm there is a miraculous seed; after taking root and sprouting in the soil, it secretes green water droplets each day, which make the crops grow more vigorously.

Lin Mian wanted to revive the long-abandoned Bountiful Harvest Farm, and meanwhile, here, wait for his missing parents to return.

But accidents often happen.

On the other side of Hope Village's hill and the fields lies an orchard.

Coincidentally, the protagonist receiver Jiang Ji and Lin Mian returned to the village almost the same year, and he is to inherit his uncle's orchard.

Jiang Ji lacks experience running an orchard, but fortunately he has lots of luck.

In the first month he picked up the protagonist attacker, a discharged special forces soldier Qin Zong, gaining a capable assistant.

A few days later he also picked up a very strange cat that could tell which fruits grew best.

But the cat is always unhappy, gazing all day toward the other side of the fields; Jiang Ji had heard the elders speak of the mysterious Bountiful Harvest Farm there.

To find out why the cat was unhappy, Jiang Ji proactively entered the farm and met Lin Mian.

After a series of minor incidents, Jiang Ji thought the miraculous seed belonged to the cat and believed the cat's gloom stemmed from Lin Mian having taken what was rightfully its.

Thus the kind and naive Jiang Ji wanted to retrieve the miraculous seed and return it to the cat.

Lin Mian thought he was abnormal and drove both him and the cat away.

The cat became even more gloomy.

However, the protagonist attacker Qin Zong knew the cat's oddness was not at all due to having its "miraculous seed" taken.

Qin Zong knew the strangely appearing cat was a spirit; according to its own words, it was a guardian spirit.

Qin Zong could understand the spirit's speech; from the cat's daily mutterings he learned it had originally been sent by Lin Mian's mother to help Lin Mian run the farm as an assistant, being the miraculous seed's companion spirit, but had been mistakenly taken back by Jiang Ji.

Coincidentally, a guardian spirit can assist only one farm owner in its lifetime; if it were bound by contract to Jiang Ji, it could never enter Bountiful Harvest Farm again.

Yet for spirits, Bountiful Harvest Farm also has an impassable barrier; after finally catching an opportunity, it was nevertheless brought back.

Qin Zong liked the kind Jiang Ji and didn't want his hopes dashed, so he forced the guardian spirit to sign a contract with Jiang Ji.

Afterwards several minor disasters occurred; seeing that even with the guardian spirit's help the orchard could not be revived, Jiang Ji grew worried, and Qin Zong then turned his thoughts to Lin Mian.

Qin Zong uprooted the miraculous seed and snatched it back from Bountiful Harvest Farm.

From then on the orchard was revived, revenues overflowed, and even the soil became worth a fortune.

Just then Lin Mian received another letter from his mother, finally learning the whole truth: the acorn spirit and the miraculous seed were originally gifts from his mother to him.

Angry Lin Mian tried to get his things back, but inadvertently became the emotional trigger for the protagonist attacker/receiver.

Sobbing Jiang Ji blamed Qin Zong for not hiding things, yet had no intention of returning them, and spent each day hauling water at Bountiful Harvest Farm, claiming it was penance, only making things worse.

The farm, already sparsely populated with living things, was further messed up into chaos by Jiang Ji.

Lin Mian was about to be driven helpless by tormenting these two lunatics.

Thus finally an evil spirit came to the village, wanting to seize the miraculous seed; Lin Mian calmly pointed them the way, sat on the hillside watching the arrogantly overconfident Qin Zong lose to the evil spirit, while sobbing Jiang Ji fell to the ground unable to guard the miraculous seed.

The orchard was destroyed, the evil spirits seized the miraculous seed and returned to the Spirit World, inadvertently guiding the two protagonists to embark on an otherworldly journey; Lin Mian also set out again to find his mother.

……

Sunlight filtered through the leaves onto the hills and fields, dew glimmering faintly on the leaf surfaces.

Lin Mian was bent over, carefully watering the newly planted seedlings.

Since inheriting the farm, his life has become busy and fulfilling; even his worries have turned into how to nurture these crops well, perhaps for the future as well.

Lost in thought, he heard a faint footstep behind him.

He raised his head; Lin Mian saw a tall figure standing on the field ridge, backlit, facial features indistinct but the outline exceptionally clear.

"Hello," the youth spoke, voice low and gentle, "Is this Bountiful Harvest Farm?"

【Detected world plot villain, triggering Blackening Value, currently Blackening Value: 50!】

【Mission requirement: clear Blackening Value, change the villain's tragic ending!】

【Side quest triggered: Please become a member of the farm, help Bountiful Harvest Farm return to its former glory!】

Lin Mian straightened up, wiped sweat from his forehead, nodded. "Yes, I am the farm's owner. May I ask who you are…?"

The person stepped closer a few paces, and sunlight finally illuminated his face.

Lin Mian couldn't help but hold his breath; the youth was undoubtedly extremely handsome, skin cold-white like jade, his emerald pupils seeming to contain all of nature's vitality, deep and mysterious.

"I am Jin Chen," he said, lightly curling his lips, the arc just right, "I'm here to apply for a helper position."

"A helper?" Lin Mian blinked, looking at him with some doubt.

Jin Chen's attire was not that of an ordinary farmer; rather it resembled that of a noble from a Western fantasy novel, every gesture bearing an innate elegance.

Lin Mian glanced behind him, "Oh… are you here to film as a streamer? My farm isn't open to visitors."

Inside it's still a mess! Lin Mian thought somewhat embarrassedly.

It's quite obvious he's handled several similar incidents before.

Jin Chen: "……"

"No, I'm not any kind of streamer."

Jin Chen was a little unhappy, pulling out a note with strange handwriting from his pocket.

"Look, it was your mother who recommended me to come to the farm."

Lin Mian took the note in surprise; it was indeed his mother's handwriting, but…

He lifted his gaze again to the handsome youth's emerald eyes, and recalled that among the gifts his mother had sent back, there were always some characters he didn't recognize, not even found in any records.

And the handwriting on this note is similar.

"Come inside first, the sun outside is very big."

Lin Mian set down the watering can, gesturing for Jin Chen to follow; he needed to calm down and think carefully.
