Scientific Farming, Bug-Fueled Fortune

[The story is complete. The woodpecker is revising it, tap tap tap~]

New story: Today, I'll Study the Fluffballs to Death. Synopsis below. #They're fluffy, yet convinced that studying makes them stronger.#

Synopsis: Someone interviews Lin Shenmu, the player who reached the throne of the King of Farming.

Reporter: I hear you can predict the market with pinpoint accuracy every time. What's your secret?

Lin Shenmu gazes gravely at his vast fields: Scientific farming. Get rich through bugs.

Reporter: ???

But the mushrooms that made you rich before were all grown by you, weren't they?

Lin Shenmu, eyes brimming with tears: I planted ten thousand mu of rice pods. Then the flying pigs came, and the whole rice-pod field grew mushrooms.

Reporter: What about the time before that? When the developers launched the missing fish quest, didn't you sell a huge amount of fish and stabilize the game's market?

Lin Shenmu pounds his chest in anguish: I planted land kelp. Damn it, nobody told me this stuff could cause a flood! Half my house was underwater, and the fish in the lake could swim over to my fields to eat the kelp!

Reporter: What does that have to do with bugs?

Lin Shenmu stares with dead fish eyes at the notifications popping up on the System panel.

"Apology for the flying pig escape bug in Peach Blossom City"

"Notice on the kelp growth bug in certain areas"

"Follow-up on the player Lin Shenmu's farm area going missing during the event"

Lin Shenmu: As a player, I think...

This game is doomed to fall apart sooner or later!

In short: Players who "can't leave" the game farm and play it safe to level up, while pitting their wits against the game versions and events released by the developers~

The next story is already underway: Today, I'll Study the Fluffballs to Death. #In the forest city, exams come first# #They're fluffy, yet convinced that studying makes them stronger.#

After her college entrance exams, top student Pei Youyan transmigrates to an animal world. Her father doesn't love her, her mother doesn't care for her, and outside the dark room there are birds and beasts everywhere. A giant snake could gobble her up in one bite.

A kind rabbit adopts her, but tells her that to stay in the city, she needs good grades. So Pei Youyan shoulders her schoolbag and gets sent right back to school.

History class: Easy! She can recite all the major battles from the Qin and Han dynasties right up to the present!

The old lion at the lectern casts a greedy look at her. "You, tell us the social structures that existed when Yangcheng was first founded."

Pei Youyan: ?

Practical class: No problem. Who doesn't know how to do a little handicraft?

The flamingo teacher gently raises a shovel. "Today, we'll clean the barnacles off Mr. Whale~"

Pei Youyan: ??

Foreign language class: Pei Youyan pulls herself together. It's fine! She definitely knows this one!

A Xuanfeng parrot flies into the classroom. "Today we're learning bird language! Jiu~"

Pei Youyan: No, I really can't...

After transmigrating, other people get to pet fluffy animals and touch their ears. But she has to take bird-language exams, fill out tests, and study the fluffballs to death?

Pei Youyan: "Is it too late to run away?"

The other animals yell: "Get out of first place before you say that!"
