◇Blurb:
Zhaolu spent eighteen years diligently farming, fishing, and mining in Stardew Valley.
But before this year's spring had even ended, Mama packed her up, along with the two little pets she'd just picked up, and kicked them out of Pelican Town.
In Mama's words, Zhaolu had grown up, so it was time she went out into the world and experienced a hard life.
Zhaolu: ?
Zhaolu thinks the culprits behind Mama's sudden change of heart must be the [half-dead] black-furred fox and the [not-alive] white-furred, blue-eyed cat she just picked up in the mines.
Zhaolu: Don't you think you should explain yourselves?
Fox Jie: I don't understand what you're saying, you monkey.
Cat Wu: I'm just a little kitty with amnesia, nya.
Zhaolu is speechless. Looking at the fox and cat who've crossed the river and kicked away the bridge, she can only leave her home behind and venture out into the world to find a Stardew Valley of her own.
Unfortunately, her plans fall apart halfway through, and Zhaolu gets lost in the mines.
It isn't until a kind person shows up that Zhaolu can follow them to a base in a new world.
Shouting and crying fill the air above the new base day after day.
Seeing all that empty land going uncultivated, Zhaolu decides to raise the banner of rebellion for the kind person who's been oppressed for far too long.
Zhaolu: I said, anyone who won't let me farm is getting planted in the ground.
Fox Jie and Cat Wu: You just have itchy hands and want to farm, don't you?
Zhaolu ignores them. After knocking the kind person's original master flat with one swing of her hoe, she declares herself the ruler:
From today on, this is my Star... no, Zhaolu Valley!
**** Zhaolu Valley Development Planning Room ****
Cat Wu: I want crops that grow butter potatoes and Kikufuku!
Zhaolu: An ornamental cat that lives off free meals doesn't get to choose the crops!
Fox Jie: I want to create a world without monkeys!
Zhaolu: Want me to go back and ask Mama to get the Great Sage involved?
The "kind person": ...Thank you, Lord Saniwa, for saving everyone, but we still don't have enough blades. If we want to establish a town, shouldn't we recruit more permanent residents?
Zhaolu ponders this.
The next day, a wishing well appears.
Fox Jie: ...Appears? You mean you went back to Mama to use a cheat, right?
Cat Wu: Jie, you never learn. Zhaolu's definitely going to beat you up for saying that!
And when the first ripe fruit is tossed in,
a handsome black-haired, red-eyed man is forcefully spat out by the wishing well.
Everyone: ?
Uchiha Izuna: ...?
