After farming for three hundred years in the cultivation world, Qi Liansheng returned to modern times.
His family and friends were still there, and he hadn't yet become the butt of the industry's jokes five years later, with scandals trailing him and haters everywhere.
It was graduation season. With his fresh-faced, handsome looks, Qi Liansheng twirled the spatial ring on his right hand and squeezed the communication jade in his left, relieved it still worked. He made a quick decision: The city is full of traps. I'm going back to the countryside!
But he couldn't figure it out. He was just a laid-back farmer who livestreamed his products, occasionally selling modern viewers a few common trinkets from the cultivation world and recommending the latest snacks, games, TV shows, and more to his fellow cultivators. So why was he getting more and more famous?
Modern viewers: You call whitening pills, slimming pills, hair-growth tonic, adorable pets, pocket-sized flying swords, and elegant ancient-style clothes that are waterproof, fireproof, warm in winter, cool in summer, never get dirty, and even have built-in impact protection "little trinkets"?
Cultivators: Before, a retreat meant sitting motionless for years without eating, drinking, or sleeping, and whether you advanced or not was all down to luck. Now, you can lie back on a lazy-boy sofa with snacks at hand, watch TV shows and play games. Why waste time when you can live in the moment?
When word got around that after graduating from college, Qi Liansheng had returned to his hometown to farm and start a business, everyone in the village shook their heads and sighed: Old Qi and his wife had worked so hard all these years, only to raise such an unfilial son!
The gossip had barely spread for two days when the rest of the Qi family stepped up to defend him.
Qi's father: "When it comes to farming, our Liansheng is worth ten of me!"
Qi's mother: "The crops go up in the livestream shop and sell out in under three seconds. Our Liansheng doesn't even have time to recline in his rocking chair!"
Qi's younger brother and sister: "The vegetables and fruit our big brother grows are super-duper delicious. Everyone in the city loves them!"
Si Hongxue: "I heard your family is about to build a new house. Can you save a room for me?"
Qi Liansheng: "...Do you happen to know how to look after animals? I need help with that."
Si Hongxue, first disciple of the Sword Sect, whose expertise was completely unrelated: "To be honest, I'm an exchange student from the Spirit Beast Sect!"
The Qi family: "→_→"
