Holding a brand new blade, Li Wei squatted in the field and carefully dealt with the weeds that would cause endless trouble in the future. After the first weed was dealt with, the system’s beep sounded again.
“Dealt with the weeds once! Experience points +0.1!”
A surprising situation appeared once again.
‘If that’s the case, does it mean that I would be able to get extra rewards every day?’
Smart Li Wei immediately understood the farm’s setting. This kind of instant reward through hard work was his favorite, even though 0.1 experience points seemed little.
While working, he found that, similar to watering, there was a limit to the number of times he could weed. However, perseverance was the most important thing. He could harvest unexpected experience points as long as he was responsible for the farm daily, which was good news.
Moreover, the experience points in the system were not only used for leveling up. When browsing through the store, Li Wei also discovered that the experience points could be exchanged for some “product discount vouchers” or even Empire Dollars. In other words, the excessive experience points would not be wasted. This was a significant benefit for poor Li Wei.
The hidden dangers in the farmland had also been solved after weeding. Therefore, Li Wei did not leave but continued looking for work on the farm instead. He felt that there was too much dust in the warehouse and things were too messy. Hence, he decided to clean up.
He cleaned the concrete floor and rearranged all the items according to his preference. He had gained another 0.3 experience points in the process. Besides, he also cleaned the cobweb-stained fan on the windmill. After that, he collected the scattered cobblestones on the path and sank them into the stream, making it look like a colorful painting.
“Maintained the pinwheel once! Experience points +0.1!”
“Cleared the path once! Experience points +0.1!”
“Repaired the warehouse wall once! Experience points +0.1!”
“…”
The system’s beep kept ringing in his ears. After all the hard work, he had already earned a total of 1.5 experience points!
Though they did not seem like a lot, Li Wei enjoyed the process, as he was a hardworking person. Moreover, this was his territory, so he would have to clean it up sooner or later. Nonetheless, to obtain additional rewards in the labor process was a kind of fairness that rewards diligence.
A few hours passed. A piece of farmland, a piece of grassland, a warehouse, a windmill, a path…
Although the facilities were limited, they were all organized in an orderly manner. Li Wei felt a sense of accomplishment as he looked at his small farm. Throughout many years of practicing martial arts, he understood one thing. The beginning of everything was the most important.
He wanted to provide an excellent environment for various crops and livestock to increase production in the future. The higher the yield, the stronger he would be.
…
The sun on the horizon was gradually dyed an intoxicating red, and the farm was about to welcome darkness.
After Li Wei washed his face by the stream, he rested under the pinwheel, looked at his panel, and said, “Unexpectedly, the fairness advocated by human beings could only be reflected in the system.”
The effort he put in the real world far exceeded that of the farm. However, he had not gained anything substantial in the past three years. On the contrary, this unremarkable farm carried all his hopes.
‘It seems like the time spent on the farm and the real world is reversed…’ Li Wei felt the setting was great, looking at the gradually darkening sky.
He was only free at night due to his studies and training in reality during the day. In that case, he could use his sleep time to take care of the farm. In this way, he would not delay either of them.
After everything was arranged, the time on the panel showed that Li Wei had been on the farm for more than 7 hours. There was nothing else he could do now but wait for the carrots to sprout. Therefore, he was ready to leave and return to reality. It was almost time for his morning training.
“I’ll see you guys tomorrow!” He ordered the system to take him away after taking another look at the field.
…
It was already half-past six in the morning in the real world when he opened his eyes again. Although he had overslept, Li Wei still felt energetic. As the system promised, his rest would not be affected, and he would feel energetic no matter how busy he was on the farm.
He changed his clothes after washing up. Then, seeing that Zhang Feng was still asleep, Li Wei left the dormitory quietly and jogged to the gym. Although he had already found a way to increase his vitality, stamina and muscle were also important.
After all, he was poor now, and it was very important to maintain his health and immunity. Moreover, he would not be able to afford the medical expenses if he fell sick with his current financial ability.
‘Sigh, no matter which world it is, being poor is an original sin.’ However, despite his words, Li Wei had already started to think about how to make money.
After all, in this world, the poor did not deserve to be a powerhouse.
