My Super Farming System

C9 – Famous Online

The stream flowed just beside the courtyard, cascading down from the mountain and rushing toward its base.

Walden Village was nestled halfway up the mountain.

The stream teemed with fish, and Zhao Yuegu often relied on his fishing skills to indulge his cravings.

Captivated by the picturesque surroundings, Lin Luqin couldn’t resist firing up her live stream once more.

Simultaneously, she found herself unexpectedly promoting Zhao Yuegu’s watermelons.

Though his watermelons were a tad pricey, they were truly worth every penny!

Yet, for Lin Luqin, wandering amidst the mountain and river scenery was far more appealing.

The verdant hills and crystal-clear waters had a way of purifying the soul, bringing an ineffable peace to anyone who beheld them.

Gazing into the pristine stream could make one forget all their troubles.

Lin Luqin appeared to be fishing, but in reality, she was simply frolicking in the water.

Her drenched clothes clung to her, revealing glimpses of her fair skin in a display of ethereal beauty.

Zhao Yuegu found himself momentarily entranced.

Still, he remembered to submerge the bamboo basket in the water.

Though rice was no longer scarce at home, catching a few fish would certainly enhance their meals.

Zhao Yuegu was well-versed in these hunting techniques.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xueman gently pulled at Zhao Yuegu’s sleeve.

“Brother, she seems pretty clueless, doesn’t even know how to fish.”

“City folks are different from us country people.”

Zhao Yuegu affectionately scraped Xueman’s nose.

“You’ve said the city is beautiful, but I still prefer our home.”

“Absolutely.”

“The village elders are keen on her becoming your bride. If you really take a liking to her, I… I wouldn’t mind.”

Zhao Yuegu playfully flicked Xueman’s forehead in response.

“What nonsense are you thinking about, kid?”

Xueman quickly covered her head, playfully sticking her tongue out at Zhao Yuegu.

“Mean brother, smelly brother, I’m done with you. Come on, Big Yellow, let’s go fish!”

Xueman wrapped her arms around Big Yellow’s neck, ready to plunge into the stream.

The water wasn’t deep, so Zhao Yuegu had no concerns for Xueman’s safety.

He simply sat on the grass, savoring this tranquil moment.

And of course, the cameras captured every bit of this serene tableau.

Zhao Yuegu’s carefree aura was utterly captivating.

The cameraman even got so caught up that he neglected to film Lin Luqin, instead lavishing extra screen time on Zhao Yuegu!

The reason was simple: Zhao Yuegu’s seamless blend with the environment was picture-perfect.

“Any random shot feels like it’s from a blockbuster film.”

“Pause at any moment, and you’ve got yourself a stunning wallpaper.”

The cameraman felt his own skills were leveling up.

He even toyed with the idea of asking the director for a raise!

He had a hunch that these shots of Zhao Yuegu would go viral.

In the live stream, legions of female fans were losing their minds.

“He’s flawless from every angle.”

“Ahhh! I’m totally crushing on Mr. Watermelon now!”

“Is he actually a farmer? He seems more like a celebrity guest from the program team.”

“No way. No star has that natural charisma. Plus, that tan? That’s the work of the sun, year-round.”

“Mr. Watermelon was never meant for farming.”

“I’d rather join him in the fields, sitting among the watermelons, moon-gazing and savoring the fruit.”

“Is moon-gazing and watermelon all you’re thinking about?”

“I wonder the same…”

“With the moon so bright and the field so quiet, who’d be in the mood for just watermelons?”

“…”

In no time at all, Zhao Yuegu earned himself a new moniker: Mr. Watermelon.

Despite the controversy over the exorbitant watermelons, many couldn’t come to terms with it.

But for his female admirers, that detail was trivial.

Zhao Yuegu’s striking looks had catapulted him to fame.

Netizens have always had a soft spot for handsome guys.

Some female netizens even speculated there was more to the story behind those pricey watermelons.

After mingling with fans online, Lin Luqin approached Zhao Yuegu with a beaming smile.

She pulled up a short video on her phone, showcasing Zhao Yuegu’s growing fame.

“See, you’re an internet sensation now. A single edited clip of you rakes in two million likes!”

“They’re all calling you Mr. Watermelon.”

“Your online following might just surpass mine at this rate.”

Lin Luqin’s voice betrayed a hint of envy.

After all her years in the business, participating in countless events and variety shows, she had never seen anything like this.

Zhao Yuegu merely showed his face, and yet the level of attention he garnered was even greater than mine! It defies all reason!

“It’s different for me; my popularity is fleeting and can’t be sustained over time.”

“I thought your expertise was limited to farming. Surprisingly, you’re also savvy about this. But have you considered starting an account here?”

“I don’t own a phone.”

In the village, cell phone reception was virtually nonexistent, so having a phone was pointless. Lin Luqin’s ability to stream live was solely due to the special equipment provided by the program team.

“I can help you set up an account.”

Lin Luqin blinked innocently.

Zhao Yuegu shook her head once more.

“I prefer the tranquility of farming over all this.”

“Imagine farming while streaming live. You could earn extra money. Isn’t that great?”

“I’m not interested in making money from streaming.”

In her heart, Zhao Yuegu had other thoughts. The time spent streaming could be better used weeding the fields, which would be more profitable than streaming. Moreover, the unique seeds produced by the system were not meant for public display.

And of course, the most pressing issue was the lack of signal in the village!

Lin Luqin was filled with regret.

“Do you plan to spend your entire life farming in these mountains?”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“What if I want you to explore beyond here?”

“I would prefer you to stay.”

“How would we live?”

“I’ll take care of you.”
