While everyone else rushes to climb the rankings, race for the first kill, and stay up all night grinding dungeons until they lose their hair, Lin Ye does only three things on the first day of the game: rent land, grow herbs, and lie flat.
A seasoned office drone ground down by work right after graduation, he enters Starrealm Divine Domain with one simple wish: not to be the game's biggest try-hard, but to enjoy a peaceful life as a casual player. Grow some herbs, brew some medicine, sell a few goods, earn enough game currency, and escape the drudgery of real life as soon as possible.
But who could have guessed that while he just wanted to slack off, the pets he picked up would be the ones going absolutely overboard?
The gray rabbit stays up all night racing across the map, gathering herbs and digging up materials, and even brings back treasure chests along the way. The soft, cuddly black ball looks like a hand warmer, but rolls straight into high-risk areas and comes back with rare materials tumbling all over the ground. Set the little green sprout beside the medicinal herb field, and the entire plot yields twice as much at top speed. Even the little ink blob he just picked up can sketch hidden gathering spots with a couple of spits of ink, bringing resources right to their doorstep!
While others are still arguing themselves red in the face over a single monster in the starting village, Lin Ye is sitting on a little stool by the river, enjoying the breeze as his pets hustle for resources, materials, and profits.
Others grind with all their might for a whole day just to scrape together a bowl of soup. He lies back, gathers his crops, and basks in the sun. As soon as he lays out his bundles of herbs, players line up to ask the price, and game currency pours in. Even his real-life living expenses are taken care of!
Lin Ye looks utterly innocent. “I really never meant to become a big shot. I just wanted to retire in the game...”
The players erupt in fury. “Your idea of retirement is letting your pets grind the whole server into the ground?!”
The number of words in each chapter is very large, with an average of about 3,500 words per chapter, just like the description of the protagonist setting up a stall in the novel, seeking stability. I feel that there is still room for improvement, such as: what does the protagonist do in the real world, does he have friends, etc., And the protagonist makes money through this game, but the worldview of this game has not been revealed to the readers clearly. The novel has no special highlights or poisonous points. The above is based on my current evaluation of chapter 33, which may be a little biased. Everyone is welcome to comment and discuss.
