To his surprise, he awakens a personal space. He thinks he’s had a jackpot start from the start and will never have to worry about food again. But then he discovers that his space is an “offline version.” No matter how incredible its black soil and fountain of life are, they can’t conjure rice out of thin air; he has to grow it himself. In an era when you need ration coupons even for a spoonful of fertilizer and one ear of corn has to feed eight families, he loses heart. While he’s still trying to figure out where to get more seeds to accelerate their growth, he discovers that his space can store living creatures. All he has to do is touch a tree, and the sparrows on it get “sucked” inside! His own backyard mountain becomes a self-service hunting ground. When he carries home more than twenty plump sparrows and tells his family he “hit them with pebbles,” he’s already a legend among the village children. Looking at the mountain of meat in his bowl, then at the slogan on the wall, “The bolder the people, the greater the harvest,” he finally gets it. He turns out to be the only human walking, talking yield of ten thousand jin per mu in this era!
