Chapter 181: Upgrade Complete!

~8 min read 1,420 words

"Really, Grandmother?!"

Cheng Qiuluo sprang up with a jump, standing upright.

"How wonderful!"

"I'll go find Big Yellow and the others in a moment!"

The others were also overjoyed.

They had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Cheng Old Madam glanced at several people.

"Why aren't you getting ready quickly?"

The few people came to their senses and hurriedly nodded.

"Yes."

Tian Qin hesitated and said.

"Grandmother, Yu'an, does he also need to come with us?"

It's too dangerous.

Cheng Old Madam slowly shook her head.

On the battlefield, blades are blind; she naturally does not wish to let Yu'an take risks.

"First, send him to the Chen Family to stay temporarily for a while."

Tian Qin nodded slightly.

"Daughter-in-law understands."

The few people continued walking out, and Cheng Old Madam added another sentence.

"Qiuluo, stay behind."

After the others left, Cheng Qiuluo asked puzzledly.

"Grandmother, do you have any instructions for Qiuluo?"

Cheng Old Madam pondered for a moment.

"Go tell your mother and your eldest aunt to prepare enough dry rations for you; tonight, lead the tiger group ahead first, and head to Nanjiang."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Qiuluo's face turned solemn, and she nodded firmly.

"Yes!"

Cheng Old Madam gazed at the night sky and let out a long breath.

"This day has finally arrived."

In the Cheng Family Courtyard, everyone was busy in a flurry, yet orderly amidst the chaos.

As for our little friend Yu'an, at this moment, he is lying in bed, farming in his dream.

Time rewinds to half an hour earlier.

After a busy day, An Luo returned home in the evening and finally had time to log into the live stream room to take a look.

Buzz!

The phone vibrated once, and a message popped up.

System upgrade complete, added personal farm gameplay, currently downloading and installing package 1%, 2%, 99%, 100%.

An Luo hadn't even had time to be surprised at how fast the download was, when another vibration came.

Buzz!

Personal farm loaded successfully!

Farm?

But she searched for a long time and still couldn't see the farm's icon.

Where is it?

Customer service: This is Zaituan's exclusive farm; only Zaituan can see it, and for now, only Zaituan can enter with their consciousness~

An Luo: "..."

Fine.

She continued scrolling down.

The more she looked, the angrier she became.

Finding customer service, she unleashed a torrent of complaints.

: What does this mean? How come after the upgrade, many things were deleted?!

The original shop is gone; now only the Reputation Mall section remains.

Moreover, the items inside are not only more expensive, but the variety has also decreased significantly, and the purchase cooldown has been extended!

Take the Healing Pill as an example: now it can only be bought once every half year.

Customer service: It hasn't disappeared, it's just become the shop inside the farm; as long as you plant crops, sell them to the system to exchange for copper coins and silver taels, you can purchase them~

Customer service: Moreover, after the farm upgrades, it will also unlock the friend list; Zaituan can invite friends to enter the farm~

Seeing this sentence at the end, An Luo's eyes lit up.

So, she can also go there?

Yes, and there's also the Time-Space Gate!

She found the previous location of the Time-Space Gate; the small door marked with the 'Ancient' character was indeed still there.

However, it is now a patch of grayish-white.

But there is hope now.

The Cheng Family will definitely have to leave; she is still worried about how to deal with that large piece of land outside the courtyard.

Staying here would be too wasteful.

Isn't this just perfect—sleepiness came and brought a pillow?

An Luo hurriedly told Zaituan this good news.

And so, here we have this scene right before our eyes.

The little one pouted their little bottom, huffing and puffing, waving their little hoe, digging a hole, sowing two seeds, then covering them with soil.

Seeing Zaituan exhausted, their little face slightly flushed, fine sweat beading on forehead and nose tip, An Luo felt heartbroken.

"Zaituan, why don't we use the one-click sowing and harvesting skill?"

Hearing her voice, the little one lifted their head, wiped sweat from their forehead with the back of their hand, grinned with their little mouth, showing a row of little white teeth.

"It's fine, Fairy Sister, only four skill uses left—can't waste them."

Having said that, the little one licked their somewhat dry lips, walked to the field ridge, picked up the nearby small water kettle, took two sips, satisfiedly narrowed their big eyes, then continued speaking while holding up their little pinky.

"Just need a hundred experience points to level up—farm twice, harvest, sell the corn, and experience will be enough!"

Saying that, the little one regretfully puffed out their cheeks.

Too bad a level-one farm can only open one plot of land; otherwise, planting two plots together would shorten the waiting time considerably.

But the next moment, the little one's big eyes filled with anticipation.

"After leveling up, inviting the elders in, Yu'an won't be so tired."

Just thinking that, in half a month we can invite Daddy in, our family can reunite, and he'll have motivation.

Having said that, the little one rolled up their sleeves, shoved with energy, hoisting their little hoe, eagerly rushing back toward the black soil.

Watching Zaituan's busy little figure, An Luo hated herself for not being able to go in and help.

Could only open the shopping software, search for tasty things, and feed Zaituan to replenish energy.

In different times and spaces, one big and one small, each busy, occasionally chatting a few times, the scene oddly warm and harmonious.

……

……

When busy, time always passes quickly.

Early one morning, just as the sky began to lighten, Yu'an was woken by their own mother.

"Yu'an, hurry up and wake up—today we're leaving this place."

"Huh?"

The little one stretched out their little hand with meaty dimples, rubbed their sleepy big eyes, and upon just waking, their little voice unconsciously drew out, sounding even more milky.

"Mother~"

"Where are we going?"

Tian Qin supported the little one's back, helped them sit up, and swiftly assisted in changing the little dumpling's clothes.

"Sending you to find Yi Jiang to play."

The little one had a dazed-cute expression, tilted their head to look at her, the two little tufts of messy hair on their head swaying along.

"Going to Yi Jiang's home?"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside.

"Not good!"

"Something big happened!"

Cheng Feng rushed into the courtyard in a panic.

"Old Madam, immortal……land!"

"Something happened in the fields! That large patch of black soil in the backyard is gone!"

Hearing this, several female members of the Cheng family turned pale.

"How could it just disappear?!"

Cheng Old Madam, however, remained calm-faced.

She had been wondering earlier, after they left, what to do with that miraculous large patch of land in the backyard.

Now that it's disappeared, it's actually good.

"It hasn't disappeared at all!"

A soft, milky little voice reached several people's ears.

Yu'an swung their short legs, pat-pat-pat ran over to hug their great-grandmother's thigh, looked up with their tender white little face, big bright eyes blinking and blinking at her.

Looking closely, in their clear big eyes, there still flickered a tiny bit of pride and smugness.

"Fairy Sister gave Yu'an a farm, and Yu'an has put it all away!"

Tian Qin blinked slightly.

"A farm?"

"Mm-hmm!"

The little one nodded, fingers scratching their cheek, explaining.

"That is, that is a farm, a place for farming."

"You can also buy things there."

"That miraculous?"

Cheng Qiuyun heard this and was amazed to no end, about to ask two more questions, but Cheng Old Madam spoke.

"Alright, let's prepare to depart."

Yu'an then noticed the house was nearly empty.

"Great-grandmother, are we moving house?"

Smiling, she reached out and ruffled Yu'an's little head, Cheng Old Madam picked up the little one and softly explained.

"During this time, Yu'an, you must take good care of yourself at the Chen Family, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Yu'an's little hands tightly clutched the clothes on her shoulder, her eyes full of anxiety and unease, she hurriedly asked.

"Is Great-Grandmother not staying with Yu'an?"

"Where are you going?"

"Yu'an also wants to go."

Just now, Mother said she would send him to Yi Jiang's family—does that mean she wants to abandon him?
