I Love FarmingCh1 - Signing The Contract

Editor: ASplashOfMusic

Because science and technology was currently developed to such a great extent, neo-humans now considered themselves to be on par with gods. Beneath their hands, countless virtual planes of reality could be created to effectively simulate local and parallel universes using gathered data, reaching high degrees of emulation. ODPEKZ

This was the cave of the immortals. The creation of the gods.

The neo-Chinese adhered to their mystical traditions and combined them with this cutting-edge technology to provide entertainment. They would select a varied group of people to enter each virtual plane where they would participate in a lengthy reality show. Afterward, they would edit the footage for bored neo-humans to watch.

This reality show format was very popular. The producers would dig around for people with different talents. Then after convincing them to sign a contract with them, they would send them into the virtual planes.

Today, the director of LJJ company, Lin Lin, planned to approach a candidate who she believed had great potential to discuss the signing of the contract. LA1Sb4

This man was Cui QiChao, who was 26 years old. From what Lin Lin knew, he possessed the bloodline of an ancient Chinese emperor, which was extremely rare. Moreover, he was on the verge of awakening this bloodline. In fact, he may already be in the process of awakening it.

Such a gifted person had the potential to not only become an excellent star but also come to possess extreme might.

This was an imperial bloodline. If this concept was placed in the male genres, the possessor of this bloodline was probably destined to conquer the world. If placed in the female genre, they would probably be the overbearing type, showing affection to the female lead through tyrannical means.

According to the past trends, reality shows of this type that managed to cast people with genes that could be considered excellent tended to gain high viewership, bringing the company exorbitant profits. Not to mention, this was someone with the rare ancient imperial bloodline.

Although she didn’t know which emperor’s bloodline he possessed, according to some of the information she had scoured from the Genetics Bureau, that emperor definitely belonged to the highest tier among them. It was most likely one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

Lin Lin came to Cui QiChao’s house, harboring the idea of successfully signing a contract. There, she saw a young man sitting in the small garden outside the door, looking exactly the same as the information she had obtained had shown. Though, this person had a temperament that couldn’t be fully captured by any photographic technology.

He had a very pure oriental handsomeness, much like classical Chinese ink. It was no wonder he could awaken such a bloodline. But under his dark and beautiful eyes were thick dark eye circles. It seemed he hadn’t had a good rest for quite some time.

This fact slightly boosted Lin Lin’s confidence. She first introduced herself and then said, “Mr. Cui? I’m Lin Lin from LJJ. I was the one who previously contacted you. I must’ve kept you waiting.” A63 vZ

“Hello.” Cui QiChao drowsily rubbed his eyes and opened the fence to the garden. “No, it’s fine. The weather’s nice today, so I stayed here for a while to daydream.”

With a smile, Lin Lin said, “Then let’s talk here. The sunlight here’s just right too.”

Cui QiChao had the same intention. Tea had already been prepared on the table in the garden. He poured Lin Lin a cup of tea and said, “I’ve gotten a general understanding of your program, but I have no talent in acting.”

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

“No, no, it’s not acting.” Lin Lin had managed to obtain so many signed contracts during her career, which was why she was confident in answering all the possible questions that could be asked. She explained, “Due to the changing interests of the audience, we only specify the genre of the program and no longer stipulate scripts. We won’t even give you an outline regarding how you should act. Instead, the program will rely on the actor’s personal qualities.” aYfHBh

An emperor should fight for territory under the heavens, right? She thought she was being very persuasive.

This sentence spoke to Cui QiChao’s heart. He had recently been really troubled about the awakening of his bloodline. His home here wasn’t sufficient for him anymore. Maybe his situation would improve if he agreed to head into a virtual plane to “show off his skills?” VdJuZx

Seeing Cui QiChao appear moved by what she said, Lin Lin grew excited and decided to strike while the iron was hot. “We attach great importance to Mr. Cui and have already formulated proper plans for you. We can first start from the 21st century, when science and technology weren’t so backward, and have let you enjoy life at a school campus to help you adapt to the subsequent programs. Your virtual time there will last four years.”

Just based on Cui QiChao’s face, Lin Lin decided to place the program broadcasting his first virtual plane under the female genre on behalf of the thousands of female audience members!

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The ratio of time flow within a virtual plane and within reality was 50:1. This meant that time within a virtual plane flew 50 times faster than in reality. Four years of virtual time meant that this program would take around a month. Actually, the virtual time flow could be readjusted to be faster if they wanted to, but the reason why they set this particular ratio was due to national regulations, ensuring the staff would still be capable of observing the mental health of the employees who were sent into virtual planes.

Cui QiChao lowered his head and kept it in that position for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind. “Alright, I’ll sign the contract with you.” 1K8Ijo

Xiao Lin’s heart burst with joy. “Mr. Cui, please.”

Cui QiChao entered the house and briefly packed up his daily necessities, before leaving with Xiao Lin.

But before Cui QiChao shut the door, she caught sight of something strange inside his house.

From the windowsills to the desks to the bookshelves and to the sofa, almost the entirety of the space inside was crammed with various containers of plants. There were K9-type rice grains growing in a clay pot,  wheatgrass in a shallow dish, miniature peonies, and Chlorophytum in a hanging basin… She could even see plants with tough planting conditions, clusters of luxuriant branches and leaves, hydroponic plants, and plants that need to be planted in soil to grow. Some had already borne ripened fruits too. N3QwKO

All these plants from vastly different environments currently inhabited this house, a space made by and supposed to be built for human beings. But it appeared more like a greenhouse than a house in a village. There was a strong sense of contrast between the environment and its contents, but there was a mystifying sense of harmony as well. That was where the strange feeling was coming from.

Cui QiChao read all the terms in the contract provided by the LJJ company. He also sent a copy of the contract to his lawyer in passing so that they could check the parts of the contract that he was more concerned about, like the technological aspects. However, all footage could now be automatically processed. For example, once he arrived at the virtual plane, the recording would automatically start, and the parts of the recordings where he was naked would be pixelated. He didn’t need to worry about any invasion of privacy.

“You won’t interfere with my actions?” asked Cui QiChao, wanting to confirm this with Lin Lin once again.

Lin Lin vigorously nodded. “We will only give you suggestions. This is especially so in the later stage after we’ve obtained feedback from the audience. But everything will still be up to you. Of course, I’m sure that you will take the broadcast ratings and our company’s profits into consideration. However, since we’ve confirmed the general direction of the program, you have to act around that specified theme. That isn’t something you can change. For example, the theme of this program is campus life, so you must enter the campus instead of starting your own business or going on a trip.” V4 oEk

Cui QiChao nodded thoughtfully. “I see… Please give me a moment. I need to talk to my lawyer about this.”

Lin Lin didn’t move from her seat. While Cui QiChao was speaking with his lawyer, a question popped up in her mind. Did Cui QiChao’s question mean that he wanted high levels of autonomy?

In fact, she had met a lot of anchors who would ask the company for a detailed plan of action because they had no idea what to do for the program. However, since Cui QiChao had awakened the imperial bloodline, his thinking process might be different from ordinary people. No emperor would be tied up over such matters.

Lin Lin grew increasingly excited upon noticing this trait unfold within Cui QiChao. She could almost see the soaring broadcast ratings and the numerous sponsorship offers they would receive in the future. She already had a good idea as to what types of advertising would be suitable for Cui QiChao’s channel. High-end men’s wear, jewellery… XLT4dK

…A few days later, Lin Lin would wish she could go back to this time to slap her own face. But at the moment, she was completely immersed in her fantasy.

It wasn’t until Cui QiChao returned and nodded at her that she stopped thinking about it. “We can sign the contract now.”

Since both parties had come to an agreement, the contract would take effect immediately after the signing.

Lin Lin shook hands with Cui QiChao. “Happy cooperation, Mr. Cui. When do you want to enter the virtual plane? You have about… five days to prepare.” thESy3

“I don’t need five days. Today is fine.” Cui QiChao restrained the impulses brought about by his bloodline. “Please help me arrange it as soon as possible.”

“I’m very happy to see you so passionate about your work.” Lin Lin winked at him. “Come on then. Let me show you the virtual plane’s background information first, and then you can transfer into the plane. We already have everything prepared. However, because we want to give you the free will to make some choices of your own, your physique will not be greatly modified. Your age will also be set to 24 years old, the same as your actual age. After all, you can take the campus life theme in many directions. The campus we’re talking about is a university campus. You can be a teacher, a student, or a doctor. The president of the university is your ‘uncle’, so everything can be negotiated with him.”

In fact, this was also a form of preferential treatment given to him by the company, because this gave him a good background and a relatively high starting point. In this modern age, the audience didn’t have the patience to watch anchors climb their way up from the bottom.

Cui QiChao smiled when he heard the phrase “can be negotiated.” He had been tired from the lack of proper rest in the past few days, so the lethargy on his face was quite apparent. His current smile combined with the lethargy shrouded his face with a morbid sense of beauty. This caused Lin Lin to zone out after seeing it. hF8oHc

She had a strong hunch that the program would be popular.

Lin Lin took Cui QiChao to the studio. After connecting the apparatus onto Cui QiChao’s body, the staff member asked, “Does Mr. Cui have any prior experience in skydiving, bungee jumping, or any other aerial sports?”

Cui QiChao was stunned. “Yes, why do you ask?”

Lin Lin held the instrument and said, “When you’re transported into a virtual plane, you will experience a strong feeling of weightlessness. Many actors tend to vomit after reaching the virtual plane because they can’t bear the feeling. The laboratory has been trying to find ways to solve this problem, but they have yet to discover a feasible solution. But since Mr. Cui has some experience with aerial sports, you should be able to adapt better.” xma6U7

Moreover, she was under the impression that people who had awakened the imperial bloodline shouldn’t be afraid of weightlessness.

Cui QiChao didn’t really care about what was going through her mind. “I’ll be fine. Let’s start.”

“Preparation for plane transfer.”

“Three.” FL DhR

“Two.”

“One!”

All of a sudden, a strong sense of weightlessness overtook his body. This teleporting experience felt as though he was falling from a high altitude.

Cui QiChao cheerfully exclaimed, “Geronimo!!!!” 9qiNV2

By the time he ‘landed’, he was already in another world.

The author has something to say:

My new pit <<What do I want to do with this Magnificent Beauty>> has been opened. I welcome everyone to read it =3=

. YrWILu

Dear readers, I’m going to open a pit again. To celebrate the opening of this pit, 300 small red envelopes will be sent out in this chapter. In the new pit, I will regularly beg for you guys to be my sugar daddy to fatten me up. You guys should know it already ^0^

PS: The “Geronimo” at the end is often used by parachutists to boost their morale when in the air. It was originally a person’s name. It’s also a tribute to the eleventh doctor in the TV series Doctor Who. I hope our protagonists will enjoy every time he cultivates his land……correction, going on an adventure.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

T/N: Welcome to my new pit everybody! It’s good to step away from translating horror BL novels once in a while to heal my heart . Also, please welcome my editors-ASplashOfMusic, malaysian_asian and Alysia!

Disclaimer: The BL/romance will be slow burn, and the romance wouldn’t start until very, very late in the story. There wouldn’t be drama, but most of the story is focused on farming, delicious food, using animal waste to plough fields. The entertainment/streaming portion takes up a lesser portion of the novel. If you guys are alright with that, please hop onto Cui QiChao’s pirate ship and let’s go farming together!
