After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 3 A Slight Touch of Rain
What is all this?

Entertainment-oriented? Farming-oriented?
Jian Ning could only tell herself that it was because she was not in the cultivation world, and the cultivation system had automatically encountered a bug again.

He treated the entertainment industry like the "Entertainment Sect," a sect dedicated to cultivating immortality. His casual joke about farming has now turned him into a disciple of the "Farming Sect."

Go and go.

As long as the reward is actually given, that's fine.

I wonder what this beginner-level spell, "Slightly Applying Clouds and Rain," is.

Now that she has the system with her, she's not worried about starving to death if she leaves the entertainment industry.

As for the task of reaching the summit, given the bug-exploiting nature of beginner quests, she quickly decided to try climbing Linggui Mountain, which is a kilometer away, tomorrow.

But what time is Mao Shi (卯时)?
Jian Ning opened her phone and searched; it showed that the time range was from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.

Damn it, who goes hiking at seven o'clock?

No, we reached the top of the mountain at seven o'clock.

Jian Ning glanced at the time; it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Sleep, sleep.

Although it wasn't her usual schedule, she tossed and turned in bed a few times because she had to get up early to climb a mountain the next day, forcing herself to fall asleep.

As for the online boycott of Jian Ning, Jian Ning herself was completely unaware of it.
-
The next day, before dawn.

Jian Ning got out of bed and washed up.

There was no time to make breakfast, so I just packed a bottle of water and an umbrella in my bag.

Before rushing out the door, she glanced at the sweet potato; its leaves had covered the entire climbing trellis, growing as lush as a small forest.

At nearly six o'clock, the scene in Beicheng was something Jian Ning had never seen before.

She thought there would be very few people on the street at this time.

Reality, however, was quite different from her imagination.

The road was bustling with traffic, and the street vendors selling jianbing (Chinese crepes) had set up early. Many elderly people were taking a stroll.

This time of day is characterized by a busy, everyday atmosphere.

She took out her phone, scanned a shared bike, rode to the pancake stall, ordered a bacon and pork floss pancake, and paid for it.

The vendor, with a pancake spread out in his hand, asked, "Young lady, are you going to work?"

Jian Ning hesitated for a moment, then hummed in agreement.

Another person came in, ordered a pancake, paid, and said, "Boss, your pancake stall must make a lot of money."

"No, money is hard to earn these days. If jobs weren't so hard to find, I wouldn't be running this pancake stall. Working in an office building like you guys must be so comfortable."

The man sighed, "What's so comfortable about it? I only make six or seven thousand yuan a month, and I still have to pay rent and utilities. I'm broke every month."

Jian Ning listened quietly, her eyes darting around.

I saw a sign hanging on the pancake stall that read "Cycling Friendly Stall".

She hadn't even had a chance to ask.

Suddenly there was a commotion. The pancake stall owner looked flustered, dropped what he was doing, and rode away on his electric tricycle.

Jian Ning: "..." No way.

"Boss, my pancake!"

The man next to him chased after it on a bicycle.

Jian Ning followed suit and chased after him on her bicycle.

The whole scene was chaotic in the wind, and I could vaguely hear the words "urban management officers".

After riding past several intersections, the pancake stall owner finally stopped.

"This pancake is burnt, miss. I'll make you a new one."

After waiting for a while, Jian Ning finally got her breakfast pancake, and took one last deep look at the 'Cycling Friendly' sign hanging on the stall.

Now I understand, that's where the friendliness lies.

She finished the pancake in a few bites and set off on her bicycle to Linggui Mountain.

We arrived at Linggui Mountain at 6:30.

Jian Ning quickly locked her bicycle and went in through the entrance.

Linggui Mountain, as its name suggests, is a mountain shaped like a tortoise. Jian Ning would come here to relax when she was feeling troubled.

The mountain isn't very high; it takes about half an hour to get from the bottom to the top.

The time was still too tight, and Jian Ning didn't want to get up early to climb the mountain again tomorrow. She stretched her limbs and started jogging. Online, Jian Ning's Weibo post had caused an uproar.

In reality, someone photographed Jian Ning dressed in all black casual wear, going hiking early in the morning.

She seems to be in a very good mood.

Having reached the summit, Jian Ning looked up, enjoying the mountain breeze blowing in her face.

The system did not respond at all.

Jian Ning resignedly took out her phone, intending to search for the highest mountain in Beicheng.

The system suddenly popped up again.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Today, you have successfully reached the summit. Your perseverance is unstoppable!

[Quest complete. You have obtained the beginner-level spell "Slightly Applying Clouds and Rain"]

It really was mountain climbing...

Even a mountain this low will do.

Jian Ning already had a good grasp of the bugs in the quest system, and she looked at the person next to her.

There were many middle-aged women taking photos and checking in at the top of the mountain, but no one gave her a second glance.

It seems that only I can see this system.

Jian Ning felt relieved.

This rudimentary spell, "Slightly Applying Clouds and Rain," was like advanced mathematics, stored in her mind, obscure and difficult to understand.

It's not convenient to be outside right now, so Jian Ning plans to study it properly when she gets back.

Without a job, Jian Ning's life became leisurely.

She strolled leisurely around the mountaintop, bought a grilled sausage, and then slowly made her way down the mountain.

It was already eleven o'clock when I got home.

The sweet potato leaves inside the house grew too lush, and several vines grew extensively along the climbing frame, already reaching the wall.

She focused intently on comprehending the profound and difficult-to-understand beginner-level spell "Slightly Applying Clouds and Rain" in her mind, gesturing in the air with her right hand.

Nothing happens.

Upon further reflection, she noticed that a drop of water had gathered at her fingertips as she moved!
Jian Ning was overjoyed. With a wave of her hand, the water droplets disappeared into the fertile soil.

The slowly growing sweet potato leaves perked up, unfurling much faster than before.

Although she had only grasped the tip of the iceberg of the magic, Jian Ning couldn't contain her joy.

He took the basin and started pinching the sweet potato leaves.

I stir-fried sweet potato leaves for lunch and then stir-fried them with minced garlic for dinner.

Tomorrow, sweet potato leaves stir-fried with eggs; the day after tomorrow…

One sweet potato feels like it can last forever; you really don't have to worry about starving to death.

Jian Ning started cooking rice before she saw the WeChat message from her agent.

“Jian Ning, since the contract isn’t being renewed, you can’t stay in the apartment the company rented for you anymore. The company originally gave you three days, but I’ve managed to get you seven. You should look for an apartment and move out in the next few days.”

Jian Ning opened her mobile banking app and glanced at her savings.

Although she hasn't had many acting opportunities in recent years, her pay has been decent.

The company took the lion's share, and she also received a considerable amount, but most of it went to her grandmother's medical treatment.

I still have four figures in my pocket.

However, in the expensive northern part of the city, renting a one-bedroom apartment with a balcony requires a deposit of one month's rent, three months' rent in advance, and an agency fee. This amount of money is simply not enough.

Her belated regret.

Is it a bit premature to say "retire from the entertainment industry"?
Even with a system at your disposal, you still need money.

When Zhang Nan brought over the food from Huiyunxuan, he saw Jian Ning slumped on the sofa, looking utterly hopeless.

"Did you read those comments online?"

Jian Ning shook her head.

She didn't look at it, and she didn't care about those things at all.

Zhang Nan asked, "So what's wrong with you?"

Jian Ning sighed, "I thought I was about to reach the pinnacle of my life, but suddenly I wilted."
