[Urban Fantasy | Cashing Out Game Earnings | Easy Money | Cozy Everyday Life | Slow-Burn Romance]
On her first day at work, programmer Lin Xiaoman discovers a farming game on the vintage computer her company gave her. The game can’t be deleted.
She plants six daisy seeds, withdraws one bunch for her desk, and sells the other five. Two seconds later:
[Account ending in 0317 credited: 250.00 yuan.]
Flowers can be withdrawn, and coins can be cashed out. With every farm level-up, her withdrawal limit goes up, too.
While everyone else who gets a golden finger pulls all-nighters to grind, Lin Xiaoman studies the rules first: make money, get enough sleep, and, preferably, don’t work overtime.
From earning 500 yuan a day to eventually bringing in 100,000 yuan in a single day, she and her two best friends turn their little flower shop into a lifestyle brand. She also takes her parents on trips and slowly grows closer to a high school classmate she reunites with years later. Her already happy life becomes richer, livelier, and freer by the day.
But as her access level rises, she gradually realizes the game may be able to change more than just her bank balance.
Where did the previous owner of the old computer go? Why are game bugs appearing in real life? If the game’s code can be changed, what about the rules of the world?
Lin Xiaoman: We can change that, too. Let’s talk about it at work tomorrow.
