Chapter 33: The Game Gets Real

Although they did not know what force had immobilized them, the “people” in the hall did not lose their ability to speak.

Thus, in an instant, the entire hall was filled with all sorts of curses. There were even curses that Li Tianxiang was extremely familiar with.

Unfortunately, even after looking around for a long time, he did not see a farm owner who might be from the same country as him.

After all, in the beginning, everyone thought that this so-called farming system was just an entertainment system.

Even though the system had already informed them that those who could not complete the novice missions would be expelled from the planet,when faced with such a hopeless environment, people would often think in a positive direction. For example, they would think of whether they could return to their original planet after being expelled from this planet.

However, the clearly visible remains of the rocket clearly taught everyone that the only outcome of being expelled from this planet was death.

In the face of a life-threatening situation, just cursing a few times was already considered a very calm reaction.

If not for the fact that they were restrained to their chairs, someone would probably rush to the podium and beat up that wooden chicken.

[Silence!]

The rooster-shaped weather vane jumped up and down twice. The stick at the bottom of its body, which was originally used to stick the weather vane into the roof of a building, made a loud sound when it hit the podium. It was as if the weather vane was directly knocking on the brains of everyone present.

Instantly, the hall fell into an uncontrollable silence.

[According to the previous system notification, those who are unable to complete the novice missions will be expelled from the planet. After confirming that they have accepted the farm, everyone agreed to this condition. If you are not satisfied, you should have brought it up at that time instead of rejecting it now.]

Li Tianxiang felt his skin tighten and his scalp go numb. His mind was still in a daze from the scene of the farm owners being “executed”.

Yes, Li Tianxiang had already discovered that this expulsion from the planet was not a simple punishment. Rather than saying that this was worse than the punishments he knew, it should be called a death sentence.

[Of course, even if you backed out at that time, although you wouldn’t have had to farm your land and complete the missions, you will still be expelled from this planet at the same time as the others.]

There was another commotion. There was a translation subsystem that was given to Li Tianxiang by the system. However, because it was too noisy, Li Tianxiang couldn’t tell what everyone was saying.

However, it was clear from their emotions that they were aware.

“Why me?”

[There’s no reason. The selection of farm owners has been carefully calculated and predicted. Every farm owner is supposed to be a farm owner. We just accelerated the process.]

[Instead of thinking about these worthless questions, why don’t we all return to our farms and try to complete our missions? We don’t want to be the next person to be expelled from the planet.]

With that said, the body of the weather vane stiffened. The color on its body made it seem as if it had experienced countless years in a short period of time.

Its color faded quickly. Then, it eventually became a very common and ordinary rooster-shaped weather vane.

Meanwhile, Li Tianxiang felt the world spinning before his eyes. He finally woke up from his dizziness.

However, he realized that he was lying on a simple hospital bed, surrounded by a group of concerned people.

“What happened to you? Why did you suddenly faint?”

Siebel saw Li Tianxiang open his eyes and immediately squeezed into the crowd, which was mostly filled with orcs. Then, she asked him anxiously.

Li Tianxiang looked at her strangely. He placed his hand on his forehead and carefully recalled what had happened. In the end, he sighed.

“It’s not a big problem, but… just treat me as a soul traveler. However, I now understand the importance of my farm.”

Seeing that Siebel was still confused, Li Tianxiang did not want to explain further. Instead, he suddenly remembered the unconscious Sal he saw when he returned to the farm.

“Enough about me. Where’s Sal? And what exactly happened in the fog?”

From what Siebel told him, Li Tianxiang had a deeper understanding of the farm.

It turned out that after Li Tianxiang left, the orcs simply had to reclaim new land and plant crops. To these orcs, these were extremely easy. Thus, they completed all their work in one morning.

According to Li Tianxiang’s previous request, it would be good to rest at this time, but the orcs led by Sal were in an environment with plenty of food and relative freedom.

Thus, they really felt that their actions were not enough to repay Li Tianxiang. As a result, they simply brought their farming tools and headed into the fog.

In the end, they discovered that the fog surrounding the farm was not just fog. It was very viscous, like gelatin. In this fog, even breathing was difficult, not to mention reclaiming land.

In the end, less than ten minutes after they entered the fog, they heard several screams. Finally, Sal and several other orcs carried their injured companions back to the farm. As soon as they entered, they fainted.

“They’re awake, they’re awake!”

Just as Li Tianxiang was asking Siebel, an orc suddenly struck open the door of this simple hospital and excitedly told Li Tianxiang about this news.

Li Tianxiang quickly got up from his bed and went to the hospital beds next door, where the orcs were lying.

He saw that although Sal was in low spirits, he had already woken up and was leaning against the headboard, staring blankly at the ceiling.

“Sal, what exactly happened?”

Li Tianxiang sat by his bed and asked him seriously.

Sal turned his head with difficulty, his voice hoarse.

“Boss…”

Li Tianxiang noticed that Sal even trembled a little. It could be seen how dangerous the incident in the fog was. Even this fellow who claimed that the orcs would never become slaves had a look of lingering fear.

After a pause, Sal continued.

“I brought a few companions who are very good at their work into the fog. We wanted to find land that could be reclaimed. However, we didn’t get far before we found a red eye staring at us through the fog.”

“Then, before we could react, a huge pillar-like object swept towards us. At the moment of contact, I realized that the object was probably a part of a creature, but it was at least ten times my height.

“There should be some kind of ferocious creature in the fog. Although I fought with all my might to resist, at the first sweep, more than half of my companions were seriously injured and fainted. Thus, I could only bring the remaining people back to the farm.”

“I don’t know why, but those creatures stopped their pursuit near the farm. Furthermore, the fog seemed to have calmed down after we entered the farm, as if nothing had happened.”

“Also, when we stepped into the fog, there was a voice reminding us not to go deeper..”
