I am farming in the real world

After completing the transaction and seeing the 1.86 million in Tie Yi's account, Chen Jue still felt a little dazed.

Having been burdened by large debts for nearly 2 years, and avoiding the world in the village for nearly 2 years, Chen Jue felt a release throughout his body and mind at this moment, when he was only one step away from getting ashore.

He previously disliked planting too many varieties of vegetables because it would be troublesome, so he chose Shanghai Bok Choy as a single product for large-scale planting, planning to ship it slowly and steadily, completely unaware of this wave of soaring prices.

It can only be said that it was a lucky accident. He didn't hit a wall, but by chance, he stumbled into a treasure trove.

It was as if even the heavens were rushing to feed him, sending Chen Jue ashore!

As a result, he sat in the passenger seat of the truck in a daze for a long time, until several simple and honest guys surrounded him, staring at him with eyes waiting for him to issue orders. Only then did Chen Jue wake up from his daze.

"This isn't a dream!"

"I really did fish that mosaic wooden axe out of the reservoir."

"Everything is real!"

Chen Jue looked around at Tie Yi, Tie Lao Liu and the others, raised his hand and slapped his face hard, reminding himself that the matter of getting ashore had not been completely dealt with.

......

After simply cleaning up the two logistics warehouses, Chen Jue hid in the truck compartment before dawn and took out the [Bed] from his backpack, and took a nap on the truck.

When the morning sun rose, Chen Jue, who had caught up on sleep, felt invigorated again, sweeping away the fatigue left over from moving vegetables in the early hours of the morning.

Leaving Tie Lao Liu and the others to guard the warehouse, he took Tie Yi straight to Panlong Town.

The small town in the early morning was full of life. The breakfast stalls along the street were bustling with people, filled with migrant workers who got up early to go to the factory.

Chen Jue took Tie Yi to find an empty seat, ordered two servings of glutinous rice flour + egg soup, eating and waiting for the Rural Commercial Bank in the distance to open for business.

Looking at these out-of-town workers around him, gathering to talk and laugh, hoping for a raise, and chatting about their daily lives, Chen Jue felt that there was a little more color in his eyes that he hadn't had in the past.

In the past, he rushed around to earn money and pay off debts, and his trips were always hurried. He realized that he hadn't slowed down to seriously look at the world in a long time.

"Living, sometimes you don't have to make yourself so tired."

"Eating, drinking, going to work a little, or lying down without going to work is fine."

"As long as you don't compare yourself with others, don't get married, don't buy a house, don't have children, play games for three meals a day, lie down and browse your phone and read novels, all the pressure and troubles can say goodbye."

Chen Jue took two bites of breakfast, and several Bilibili UP masters who he had been following for a long time flashed through his mind.

Xiao Niu, who lives in an empty unfinished villa and imitates Mr. Tree, Xiao A, an internet addicted teenager who often hangs out in internet cafes all night, and Xu Yun, who has already collapsed, and so on.

The free and easy lifestyle they showed in their videos was in stark contrast to this fast-paced era where everything is about money.

Regardless of whether those healing videos had scripts or not, before obtaining the MC system, Chen Jue, who was once depressed, even wanted to try to experience such a comfortable and lying-flat life.

Unfortunately, he was carrying too many favors and debts, and even after obtaining the system, he could only force himself to keep making money to repay these responsibilities and obligations that he should bear.

Now that he is about to get ashore, some ideas of letting himself go have begun to sprout in his heart.

......

After finishing breakfast, Chen Jue and Tie Yi went into the bank after 9 o'clock when the Rural Commercial Bank officially opened for business, and completed a large transfer in response to the bank teller's inquiries.

After transferring all 1.86 million to his bank account, Chen Jue took out his mobile phone address book and contacted a Zhou enforcement officer from the court who he hadn't contacted for a long time, asking the other party to arrange for a deduction and repayment.

It just so happened that it was time for work, and after telling the Zhou enforcement officer about his situation, the other party was also a little surprised: "Chen Jue, have you collected all the money? Is there any problem with the source of funds?"

Chen Jue replied on the phone: "Don't worry about the source of funds, it was all earned from 'hard farming' and selling vegetables, and I borrowed a little from a 'good brother'."

The Zhou enforcement officer on the other end of the phone was also a little pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

"The unblocking of Alipay and WeChat electronic accounts are all reported uniformly, and I can help you unblock them within 2 working days at the earliest."

"Since you are willing to fulfill the repayment, I will first help you remove the enforced dishonest list, and then ask the bank to help you unblock the frozen account, so as not to affect your work and life." The court enforcement officer was very enthusiastic.

Because Chen Jue, a dishonest person who refuses to fulfill the repayment, puts pressure on their work indicators.

In recent years, the general environment has been sluggish, and the news that is not lacking in the circle of friends of the people in Wenshi area is who and who's family went bankrupt and became a dishonest person.

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble."

Chen Jue thanked the other party, and soon several deduction messages were sent to his mobile phone.

After deducting the loan principal and penalty interest of more than 1.17 million from the 1.86 million cash, there was still more than 690,000 left.

Seeing that the bank transfer function returned to normal, Chen Jue immediately drove to Ruixian and found an ICBC bank to withdraw some cash, and combined it with the remaining 100,000 in his bag to make a full 400,000.

First, he went straight to Zhongbo Machinery Factory, and in Zheng Bocheng's surprised eyes, he slapped a dozen stacks of red banknotes on his work station where he was playing games: "Bocheng, I'm here to pay you back! Count it."

As soon as Zheng Bocheng saw those bundles of cash, he immediately jumped up: "Damn! Chen Jue, are you sure you didn't secretly go and sell your ass behind our backs?"

Chen Jue showed a mysterious smile: "It's very difficult to sell your ass and be a gigolo! I chose to be a chicken."

"Is that the roast chicken?"

Zheng Bocheng's eyes lit up, realizing that Chen Jue, who had been elusive these days, had most likely successfully gotten ashore. So he took the money and went downstairs to drive out his very flamboyant white Mercedes-Benz G.

Chen Jue asked suspiciously: "What are you doing?"

Zheng Bocheng smiled slyly: "Help you show off to your relatives! How can I miss such a fun thing?"

"Damn it! You're too idle!"

Chen Jue was completely convinced by this cynical rich second-generation buddy, and he could find an excuse to skip work and slip away so grandiosely.

So, after joking and playing around with Zheng Bocheng in the parking lot for a while, Chen Jue sat in the big G and detoured to the places of several buddies and relatives.

These creditors are all ordinary people. In the current environment, it is not easy to squeeze out some savings to help Chen Jue.

He neatly paid off these scattered debts of tens of thousands of yuan one by one, and finally came to the gate of a high-end residential area in Ruixian. He asked Zheng Bocheng to carry the remaining 150,000 yuan into the residential area to repay the last person's debt of gratitude.

"Really not going in to see Wu Yajing?"

"You were in a relationship for so many years, aren't you going to slap her face and show off a little, so she can regret it?" Zheng Bocheng teased with a hippie smile before getting out of the car.

"Get lost!"

"I don't want to be chopped with a kitchen knife by her husband!"

Chen Jue rolled his eyes, wishing he could kick this gossipy buddy with a lot of bad ideas out of the car.

......

After waiting outside the residential area for a few minutes, Zheng Bocheng ran out of the residential area happily after sending the money, and came to the passenger seat and teased with a look that deserved a beating: "I've sent the money for you, guess what she said?"

Chen Jue frowned: "What did she say?"

Zheng Bocheng picked his nose: "What else could she say? Wishing you all the best in the future!"

Chen Jue's brows relaxed: "That's fine, let's find a place to have lunch."

Seeing his calm and indifferent appearance, Zheng Bocheng opened his mouth to add fuel to the fire: "Forget it as soon as possible, her belly is already showing!"

Chen Jue: "... Damn, what's it to me! I'm just here to pay back the money!"

He didn't have any nostalgia for his ex-girlfriend. He had already deleted her WeChat friends and phone number a long time ago. The last time he accidentally saw her in his circle of friends, it was entirely because Chen Jue accidentally saw a nine-square grid of a high school female classmate who had a mutual friend.

Now that he has repaid this last debt of gratitude, meeting again in the future will only be as strangers.

Just thinking of Zheng Bocheng's cheap and hateful appearance, Chen Jue found a roadside restaurant that his buddies often went to, and dragged the other party to have a good meal, and by the way, drank 2 bottles of Jiang Xiaobai + N bottles of ice beer.

While celebrating his successful landing and being free of debt, he also made this unreliable rich second-generation buddy burp with satisfaction, and regained a little ground.

......

In the evening, Chen Jue, who was full of alcohol, took the truck driven by Tie Yi to pick up Tie Lao Liu and the others and returned to Chen Village.

Having repaid all his debts, he didn't go home and collapse, feeling relaxed.

Instead, he carried a broom, occasionally looking back at the sunset in the sky, and walked up to the reservoir on the back mountain.

He first went to the graves of his parents and elders to pay his respects, cleaned up the overgrown thorns and weeds, and shared the joy of his landing with these relatives who were no longer in the world.

Afterwards, Chen Jue took a walk by the Chen Village Reservoir for a while, admiring the beautiful rural scenery surrounded by green mountains, clear water and blue sky blended into one color, and egrets playing on the shoals.

Just as he was playing with the broomstick in his hand, walking to the pavilion by the reservoir where tourists could sit and enjoy the shade, an unexpected figure appeared in Chen Jue's sight.

I saw Huang Ruomeng wearing a light green long dress, her dark ponytail hanging over her shoulders, stepping on a pair of rattan sandals, holding a dog's tail grass in her hand, making a "tsk tsk tsk" sound, teasing a common yellow domestic dog in the countryside that was spinning around her feet.

Seeing Chen Jue coming over with a broom, Huang Ruomeng also turned her head.

The eyes of the two people, whose bodies were heated by the afterglow of the setting sun, met, and they both froze for a moment.

In the awkward scene, Chen Jue took the lead in speaking: "What a coincidence! You're also here to stroll around the reservoir?"

Huang Ruomeng nodded, "Yes! I brought Big Yellow up here to run around. It can't stay still at home and gets into mischief everywhere. If I don't take it out to play, it won't burn off its energy."

Chen Jue looked at Big Yellow, who was sniffing his ankles, put the broom aside, found a stone stool in the pavilion, and sat down, reaching out to pet the head of the fearless dog.

"Have you found a job yet?" Chen Jue asked while petting the dog.

"Not yet. I've interviewed at several places, but haven't heard back. I'm not planning to look anymore! It's actually quite nice to farm and grow flowers in the countryside, and walk the dog. I can take some landscape photos and post them online, maybe even become popular and earn some traffic money," Huang Ruomeng said, holding her cheeks and staring at the mirror-like, shimmering reservoir, with a nonchalant expression.

In her tone, which was filled with indifference yet concealed a hint of unwillingness, Chen Jue seemed to see his past self.

Leaving the countryside to study in the city, only to encounter setbacks everywhere after graduating and entering society, finally ending up wounded and fleeing back to the countryside with his tail between his legs.

The life of an ordinary rural person, whether male or female, mostly follows a similar script.

"Chen Jue, if only we could go back to when we were kids!"

"Every village had familiar playmates. During summer vacation, everyone would go to the reservoir together. The girls would swim with their inner tubes, and the boys would have picnics and barbecues on the shore, catching cicadas and fishing."

"Back then, we didn't have to think about money, money, money every day, didn't have to think about the unaffordable housing prices in the county town, didn't have to think about work, and didn't have to be urged to get married and have children early."

"Carefree and free. The first thing we did every day when we woke up was to do what we liked, to make ourselves happy and joyful."

Perhaps because her elementary school classmate was by her side, Huang Ruomeng suddenly became emotionally moved and began to talk to herself.

Her eyes welled up with tears of reminiscence as she treated Chen Jue as a listener, expressing the emotions she couldn't vent.

Hearing this, Chen Jue paused his hand petting the dog, and the happy childhood that Huang Ruomeng described surfaced in his mind.

Previously, he had stubbornly held his breath and worked hard day and night using the MC system to make quick money and get ashore, which was essentially driven by his past desire to be strong and his feelings of inferiority.

Now, after hearing Huang Ruomeng's heartfelt words, Chen Jue realized that in the past, he had been running around for those few pieces of silver, and he had almost forgotten that the most important thing in life is to make oneself happy and joyful.

… …

After a moment, Huang Ruomeng, realizing that she had become somewhat incoherent, hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I'm sorry, Chen Jue! I've been staying up too late recently, and my nerves are a bit weak. My emotions tend to suddenly get out of control."

Feeling that she had lost face in front of an outsider, Huang Ruomeng led Big Yellow, who was circling around her feet, away.

Rarely seeing his elementary school classmate in such an awkward state, Chen Jue laughed and stopped her, taking out his phone and saying, "It's okay, being sentimental is good! Let's add each other on WeChat so we can keep in touch in the future."

Huang Ruomeng hesitated for a moment, and finally scanned the QR code to add Chen Jue on WeChat. It was unclear whether her face was flushed from the sunset or if it was naturally red as she fled down the mountain.

Looking at his elementary school classmate walking the yellow dog into the distance, Chen Jue thought of the invincible old books given to him by his grandfather, and muttered to himself, "To do what you like?"

His eyes, which had been somewhat hazy with alcohol and a hint of confusion about the future after getting ashore, suddenly began to brighten.

In Chen Jue's opinion, the accidental appearance of that mosaic wooden axe was probably not meant to make him rush to make money and get ashore, to prove to his relatives and friends how amazing he was and how successful his career was.

Rather, it was the same as the original intention of the game "Minecraft" MC. Its development and release were meant to allow more people like Chen Jue, who were simple, not good at socializing, and a little inferior at heart, to gain the most primitive freedom and happiness from the open-world sandbox game.

So, after understanding this, Chen Jue called out to Tie Yi and the others, who were wandering back and forth on the reservoir dam in the distance, and told these silly guys to go down the mountain together and return to the old house.

The door was locked, and the floor of the utility room was dug open.

He went all the way down the shaft to the underground base.

This place was his happy world.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at Underground Pit 1, a strange big-nosed figure let out a "Hmm~" sound.

Wearing a robe and with green lights shining in his eyes, he was as sneaky as a street vendor selling pirated DVDs, hugging his arms and tilting his head as he darted from the constructed village to Chen Jue and said, "Boss, I have a lot of treasures here to trade!"

"Do you happen to have any [Emeralds]?"
