"Go back. I can walk the rest of the way by myself."
Yang Tao stood on a small path leading to a vast, open grassland. What was unsettling was that this path was completely covered in white zebra crossings.
This was one of the exits from the Level 9 suburbs, very conspicuous, making it immediately obvious that something was amiss with the place.
Mice, who was beside Yang Tao, nodded slightly and said earnestly, "Yang, I know you may never need my help, but I will always wait for that day to come!"
Hearing Mice's words, Yang Tao patted Mice's shoulder and said, "Alright, then you'll have to work hard. Oh, and if you feel your mind being affected, go to Level 765. It has a positive effect on the mind, but don't stay too long, and be careful of the bull inside."
"I won't chat with you anymore. I'm leaving now…"
With that, Yang Tao walked straight into the wilderness, following the zebra crossings on the path. Only after his figure completely disappeared did Mice turn around and float back the way he came.
…
'Mice… quite interesting.'
Yang Tao smiled and continued deeper along the zebra crossings. His rescue of Mice was purely an act of kindness, adhering to the principle of doing good deeds without asking about the future.
After going a certain distance.
Some mist gradually appeared around him. This mist was like ordinary mist, and there were no negative effects such as poisoning or Wither.
Yang Tao continued to walk forward, the path under his feet had disappeared, replaced by a somewhat muddy trail.
There were also tire tracks on the trail.
The surrounding brightness gradually increased, and the visibility of the mist also improved significantly.
An endless golden wheat field appeared in his sight. The mist had completely dissipated. Yang Tao stopped in his tracks, looking at the surrounding scenery that seemed to exist only in dreams.
"Here we are! Level 10: Bumper Crop…"
[Level 10: Bumper Crop]
Safe. Stable. No hostile Entities.
Level 10 is a vast wheat field that extends infinitely in all directions. Rows of trees and shrubs divide this wheat field into many small plots.
The climate in this level never changes; the sky is always a gloomy, leaden gray, with rare, brief drizzles and foggy days.
The dull atmosphere and unchanging daytime in Level 10 combine to make it easy to lose track of time, with only an occasional gust of wind rustling the crops breaking the monotony.
Water bodies are widespread in the low-lying areas of Level 10. It is speculated that the soil in this level is slightly hydrophobic, preventing water from seeping underground. The water in these bodies is considered safe to drink, although reports state it has an earthy taste.
Upon inspection, there appears to be no algae or other organisms in the water, only various microorganisms and various fungi harmless to the human body. It is believed that the water in this level has a high dissolved oxygen content, which seems to be one reason why the water looks clear and unpolluted. The areas around the lakes appear to be uncultivated, including patches of soil and grass.
Various buildings and structures can be found occasionally in Level 10, ranging from small wooden sheds and outhouses to larger barns and stables.
Aside from storing useful resources like wood and nails, their interiors mostly appear empty. These stored resources and the structures themselves can be used for many purposes, such as large-scale construction.
"The feeling of wind blowing through the wheat is truly wonderful…"
Yang Tao took out his exploration terminal from his backpack. Unsurprisingly, there was no wireless signal on the terminal.
He summoned a wooden door and marked a spot first.
Yang Tao looked down at the wheat field beside him, extended his hand and gently tapped it. A square meter of wheat was instantly harvested, turning into a bundle of wheat that fell to the ground.
[Wheat (Pseudo)]
"No energy value? What trash!"
Yang Tao harvested some more wheat, took out a workbench, and directly made bread.
Similarly, the bread also had a 'pseudo' character after its name, and it provided no hunger or saturation restoration whatsoever.
"Good stuff!!"
Level 10: Bumper Crop can be said to be an extremely special level. Although it is full of hope, it is actually an abyss of despair.
The wheat in this level appears normal and can provide a sense of fullness, but it does not provide any nutrition.
Wanderers who do not know the truth are very likely to choose to live in this dream-like level, and then die from malnutrition in this level.
But this is for Backrooms Wanderers. If it were in the normal world, this wheat would be a sacred product for weight loss.
Imagine eating a lot of pasta every day, but not gaining any weight, and even losing weight…
"When the time comes, I'll get some seeds and see if I can plant them in other worlds…"
He summoned his magic broom and flew towards the distant barn in the wheat field.
The dilapidated barn was full of traces of human life, but there weren't many valuable items inside, only some scattered wooden boards and nails.
"So poor…"
Boom, a muffled thunderclap came from outside, and a light rain began to fall from the sky. Yang Tao stood at the barn door, looking at the scenery outside.
He took an office chair and a table from his backpack, placed them at the barn door, and sat lazily on the chair, sighing, "Wheat fields, light rain, a refreshing breeze. Taking a comfortable nap in this environment, even if your SAN value hits rock bottom, it might even return to normal…"
Warm Seer Tea coffee was steaming. Yang Tao took a light sip.
Just as he was sighing, he suddenly saw the ground outside 'moving'.
Dense 'earthworms' burrowed out of the wheat field. Yang Tao chewed the Seer Tea in his mouth, inexplicably associating those wriggling worms with it.
"Dried earthworms…"
The specialty from Wandering Earth suddenly popped into his mind.
"I wonder what this stuff tastes like?"
No sooner said than done.
Yang Tao stood up, completely ignoring the increasingly heavy rain outside, walked to the edge of the wheat field, reached out, pinched an 'earthworm', and tried to digitize it.
[Earthworm]
Cultivation: 55% chance to cultivate dirt and grass blocks into farmland every 65 seconds.
Maintain Moisture: 55% chance to turn un-moistened farmland into moistened farmland every 65 seconds.
Promote Growth: 5% chance to give crops an extra block update opportunity every 65 seconds.
"???"
Yang Tao looked at the [Earthworm] in his hand, and a large number of question marks appeared in his mind.
"Isn't this the earthworm from the Practicalities mod?"
Yang Tao looked at the earthworms all over the ground again, feeling that this was his blessed land.
He didn't care if the dense earthworms were a bit disgusting. He directly reached out, grabbed a handful, digitized them, and threw them into his backpack.
One hundred… Two hundred… Five hundred… One thousand… Three thousand…
There were so many earthworms in the level that it made one's heart tremble. On average, one grab could yield twenty or thirty.
This item was simply too important for his agricultural development.
