Chapter 001 Sandbox Game · Homestead

Once the resources of the forest farm are cleared, let's go fishing after dinner. I wonder what we will catch today; perhaps we might even catch a shark.

Turning around and stepping out the door, I saw the mailbox at the entrance. This object is capable of sending mail, although I do not know how to use it, especially since at present, it is just Chen Xiyi alone.

Sometimes I do not even know whether I am a person or just a gamer, if I say I am a person, I possess all the abilities that a gamer should have, I even do not need to eat

Looking at the full array of plant and animal icons in the inventory, although it seems quite unscientific, one eventually becomes accustomed to it after seeing it for a long time

It is time to head to the forest farm now; the trees that were cut down yesterday and some other plants that I had completely uprooted should have also regrown.

As for why one should summarize aloud, it is naturally to prevent one's language skills from deteriorating due to prolonged lack of communication with others

Later, I will be busy preparing a complete tomato beef rice bowl. I must say, the food made with a progress bar is simply delicious

Behind the wooden house is a pond covering an area of 2,000 square meters, while the remaining 4,000 square meters is occupied by various types of timber, minerals, and other resources

You have received: 200 units of concentrated feed, 100 units of roughage

After cleaning up the excrement, he placed all the animal offspring into the farm. By tomorrow, all the animals will mature and will also reproduce offspring. However, he did not put them all in, as he could not afford too many.

This is certainly not about sowing seed by seed; rather, after selection, a progress bar named "Sowing" appears.

Then the giant tree instantly collapsed, transforming into a large amount of material that was absorbed into Chen Xiyi's body

However, the game has its advantages; who would have thought that after a nap, all the crops would be ripe? Chen Xiyi stood at the head of the farm, and then a progress bar named 'Collecting' appeared before him.

However, this unfinished game lacks instructions, and he has gradually figured out the various rules through exploration

After completing these tasks, Chen Xiyi finally turned and headed to the neighboring ranch. This ranch is not the same as a farm; every animal here is a wild animal that originally existed in this world, which has then been domesticated into livestock and poultry. Naturally, the domestication process also relies on a progress bar.

The radius is only about 10 meters, so it is necessary to make a complete circle to collect everything.

"Wait, what is this? Why is there a red dot appearing at my doorstep?"

You have obtained ... ...

You have received 10 chickens

You put into the feed production machine: 20 units of weeds, 20 units of wheat, 20 units of soybeans, 20 units of meat, 20 units of fish

Let me take a look, not bad at all, I will take them all.

Arriving at the forest farm, I gazed at the towering trees that had grown back, standing before them and observing the progress bar of the logging operation

At that time, I will prepare a bowl of shark fin rice. However, it is said that the taste of shark meat is difficult to describe. If I really catch one, I will keep the shark fins and use the rest as feed.

The three thousand six hundred and fiftieth day, it has already been ten years. As a traveler, I can understand becoming an NPC in a game, and it would be quite normal even if I were a player. However, why does the game I have traversed into seem like a half-finished product

You placed 200 units of concentrated feed and 100 units of rough feed into the feeding trough, which can sustain the animals in the ranch for 26 hours

You have felled a tree: You have obtained 5 units of wood, 1 unit of resin, and 1 unit of leaves ... ...

You have performed weeding in the farmland, resulting in 50 units of weeds

You have received 7 eggs

This time, Chen Xiyi did not speak; instead, bubbles floated above his head. Indeed, he was not only able to speak but also to type, and after sending it out, it could float above his head.

The harvest from today alone is sufficient for Chen Xiyi to eat well for several months, yet he continues to work diligently on these tasks.

You apply fertilizer to the farmland, consuming 50 units of gold fertilizer, resulting in an increase in this crop yield by 1 to 100%

After the progress bar was completed, seedlings of plants emerged in the previously barren farmland. Subsequently, Chen Xiyi took out a water bucket filled with water, golden fertilizer, and so on. The specific process is as follows

Feces is indeed a valuable resource. Chen Xiyi used it to produce fertilizer, known as Jinkela, which can increase crop yields after application

You place 300 units of water in the trough, which can sustain the animals in the ranch for 26 hours

While Chen Xiyi was complaining, he was also cleaning the ranch, as the farmland needed to be tilled, and naturally, the ranch required cleaning as well

You irrigate the farmland, consuming 200 units of water

You cleaned the ranch, and you received: 100 units of manure

You have obtained 5 calves

The harvest was quite good. Chen Xiyi sighed, and after tilling the land with a single press of a button, began to replant the seeds of the harvested crops.

Similar to planting, breeding also requires various materials, such as feed, clean water, and so on. With a large number of animals, the consumption naturally increases.

As he spoke, Chen Xiyi used a food item from his inventory, and his satiety immediately increased

When the progress bar reaches completion, all the fully matured crops in the entire farm instantly disintegrate, transforming into a series of miniature Q-version icons of crops, crop seeds, and crop by-products, which then are all absorbed into Chen Xiyi's body

This is probably what is referred to as semi-datafication

That is incorrect; I have previously caught ribbonfish, which are indeed deep-sea fish. Perhaps the developer of this unfinished game is someone lacking in common knowledge

The game world he traversed was not large, measuring approximately 10,000 square meters. It appeared vast, but in reality, it was not. Over the course of ten years, he had no idea how many times he had planned it to become what it is today

If I were to say that I am a gamer, I would also say that I am like an individual who must personally engage in many matters

You have obtained 2 cattle

Chen Xiyi couldn't help but make another sarcastic remark

Chen Xiyi, following the customary practice, first glanced at the time recorded in his player log, which accurately documented the various matters from the moment he traversed to the present.

While Chen Xiyi was chopping down trees, he suddenly noticed a red dot appearing on his player map right in front of his door, and it was continuously flashing. This piqued his curiosity, as it was the first time he had encountered such a thing in ten years. However, the situation seemed to be somewhat different from what Chen Xiyi had anticipated.

You have obtained 15 chicks

For instance, the wooden cabin where he currently resides is located in the heart of the game world. To the left, there is a farm covering nearly 2,000 square meters, used for cultivating various grains, vegetables, and fruits. To the right of the wooden cabin lies a pasture, also covering nearly 2,000 square meters, providing Chen Xiyi with various meat, fur, and other resources

As a sandbox game player, is it not quite normal to automatically pick up items

However, I seem to remember that what is behind me is a freshwater lake
