You've been reborn and you're going to go farm?

After dinner, Jiang Ye, who had just finished showering, turned on his laptop and started importing the photos he had taken that afternoon.

After inserting the internet card and logging into QQ, Jiang Ye first sent several photos to the QQ account labeled "Sister Xu." The photos were all handsome pictures of Jiang Lin taken from the best angles she had chosen.

Then, she opened the forum and started editing the content.

The electric fan overhead creaked and groaned, and water droplets dripped from my wet hair, staining my pajamas. Outside, I could hear the chirping of insects and the croaking of frogs, with the occasional startled cicada taking flight.

When Jiang Lin came out with his bucket after taking a shower, she had already finished writing the post. "Come on, take a look at my post."

She extended the invitation with a smile and turned her computer towards Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin looked at her wet hair, picked up a hairdryer, and walked over.

"Shocking! Watermelons actually have ID cards? Sugar content and taste clearly labeled, is it a gimmick or real technology?" He read the headline aloud, chuckled, and said, "UC Shocking News Department, huh?"

In 2012, technology was not a derogatory term, and the "UC Shocking News Department" meme didn't exist yet, but Jiang Ye still understood Jiang Lin's teasing. She was actually imitating the news pushed by UC Browser.

"As long as it works, that's fine. Go check the contents."

The post, written from the perspective of a netizen visiting a friend's house, shared the amazing discovery of a data-driven watermelon. The post highlighted the detailed information on the labels, accompanied by close-up photos of a sliced, bright red watermelon and the white label with detailed information.

The writing is light and easy, and at the end, it throws out a hook: "I've already tasted it for everyone, and it's so sweet it's unbelievable. But seeing is believing. Tomorrow at 12:30 pm, at the side gate commercial street, Brother Watermelon will be there in person. Pick any you like, and we'll open the watermelons on the spot. If the information doesn't match, the watermelon truck will be given away for free."

"Not bad!" Jiang Lin nodded. "However, this image is too large and loads slowly, so we need to compress it."

As he spoke, he plugged in the hairdryer, his fingers naturally parting Jiang Ye's hair, a gentle breeze caressing it.

Jiang Ye was immediately taken aback.

The wind whistled, and a heat radiated through her scalp. She sat there stiffly, her back ramrod straight. Although her hands were still on the keyboard, she dared not make the slightest movement, and even the tips of her ears turned red.

"Use QQ's built-in screenshot function." Jiang Lin's voice blended into the sound of the wind, calm and natural, as if it were the most normal thing in the world. "Open the image, then press Ctrl+Alt+A, and then save it."

As he spoke, he temporarily turned off the hairdryer, leaned over, and demonstrated how to operate it. "Look, it's like this. Do you understand?" he asked her, turning his head to the side.

"Huh?" Jiang Ye looked at his face so close to hers, somewhat dazed, her voice trembling slightly, "Oh...yes...yes."

The hairdryer started making noise again. Jiang Ye felt the gentle movements on his head and forced himself to focus his attention back on the screen.

Following Jiang Lin's method, she clumsily re-screenshot and uploaded the picture. Perhaps the wind was too hot, because it also made her face flushed.

The post was quickly edited, and Jiang Ye clicked publish, his mind still a bit blank: "What's next?"

"Let's make this post popular."

"Should I ask my roommates to help bump the thread?"

Jiang Lin nodded, "Okay, but we need to divide the roles."

"For example, some people question it, saying that our 13% sugar content is just a fabrication."

"They mocked us, saying that our price of 3 yuan per jin was too expensive, while outside vendors sold it for 2.5 yuan, and even offered to replace it if it wasn't sweet."

"Then there are the onlookers who are just there for the fun of it all. I'm keeping an eye on this and waiting for things to fall apart tomorrow. If it really happens, I'll just buy 10 and give them to everyone to eat."

"And some people are really curious, how can you guarantee the sand and crispness?"

"Finally, we ourselves will personally step in to explain just how sweet 13% sugar content actually is. Our ultimate goal is to ensure the labeling is credible!"

As Jiang Lin spoke eloquently, Jiang Ye was slightly taken aback. Jiang Lin was displaying a confidence she had never seen before. She muttered to herself, "You've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve!"

"Hey, this is called a marketing strategy. The post needs to get people talking to generate buzz. If it sinks, we'll have to rely on shouting to get attention tomorrow."

He said, then laughed again: "We're not afraid of being shouted at."

Jiang Lin smoothed Jiang Ye's hair with his fingertips and turned off the hairdryer: "All done."

"Th...thank you." Jiang Ye touched her fluffy, smooth hair and whispered as she refreshed the post.

2L Xiao is not Xiao: First comment...

3L Light rain turning to sunny: What kind of watermelon is this? It looks pretty good. What does 13% sugar content mean?

4L Bloodsucking Mosquito: Wow, how much does this watermelon cost per pound, OP? The supermarket next door sells this kind of watermelon for 8 yuan per pound.

Jiang Lin looked at the screen and said, "It seems we don't need to create hype ourselves."

He took out his phone and replied using his own account.

Watermelon Bro: Thanks for your attention. Price clearly stated: 3 yuan per jin (500g). I'm not just selling watermelons, I'm selling a promise that they'll definitely taste good. Welcome to come and check it out tomorrow.

The reply was sent, and there has been new activity in the thread.

5L Farmer: Just passing by from the agricultural college, let me explain. The 13% sugar content mentioned by the original poster is in Brix. For ordinary watermelons, 10% to 12% is considered good. 13% is indeed premium grade. Are you that confident in your watermelons? Is it a new variety?

"Oh, so there's someone who knows what they're doing here." Jiang Ye laughed as he read the reply.

At this time, the forum was full of knowledgeable people, and they were genuinely explaining things.

Jiang Lin replied: Expert.

With each refresh, new information pops up again.

9L Bloodsucking Mosquito: @AgriculturalStudent, why all this fancy talk? Just call him a scammer! Even the fancy-packaged products in high-end supermarkets don't dare to directly label their sugar content, yet a roadside stall dares to label it as 13% and sell it for only 3 yuan? Haha!

"This person is so annoying!" Jiang Ye was about to personally argue with this bloodsucking mosquito, but Jiang Lin stopped him.

Jiang Lin remained unmoved and continued to refresh the post.

10L Xiao is not Xiao: Wow, the atmosphere is so tense?

11L Light rain turning to sunny: Is it that complicated? I just want to know if this watermelon tastes good.

12L Bloodsucking Mosquito: Here's the deal, @Watermelon Bro, don't bother with all that mysterious 13% stuff. Tomorrow I'll be waiting for you under that tree on the side gate commercial street. Pick any one on the spot, and if it's sweeter than the ones I've eaten and the taste is comparable, I'll buy 10 right there! Not only will I buy them for myself, but I'll also open them up for everyone to eat on the spot. If you can't do that, delete this post and get lost. Don't try to fool me here.

13La335521: Holy crap, that's ruthless! I'll be watching the drama unfold tomorrow!

14L (Eating melon seeds without spitting them out): Mark, I have to watch the show live tomorrow!

15L Sleepless Tonight: @Watermelon Bro, hurry up and accept the challenge! Don't be a coward! I want to watch the drama unfold.

16L Agricultural Student: Let's have a rational discussion. Sigh, I want to be a bystander here!

Jiang Ye watched the rapidly refreshing floor numbers, feeling a surge of excitement, his palms even sweating slightly.

At this point, Jiang Lin continued typing a reply: @SuckingMosquitoFriend, your provocation won't work on me, but you're right, you have to be strong yourself. Tomorrow at 12:30 noon, I'll be driving a silver van. You can pick whatever you like on the spot. If one of the melons doesn't match, I'll give you the van.

This composed and assertive response immediately raised the stakes to a car, causing the post to go viral.

Many onlookers joined in themselves.

23L Just passing by: I have to bookmark this.

25L Foodie: I have to go to the scene tomorrow, no matter what.

27L Passerby A: @BloodsuckingMosquitoBrother, it's your turn! Don't cower!

32L Bloodsucking Mosquito Killer: You've got guts! Anyone who doesn't show up by noon tomorrow is a coward! I want to see if this simulated watermelon was soaked in sugar water!

35L Watermelon Bro: @BloodSuckerMosquito Don't worry, the watermelon grows in the ground, and its sweetness comes from the sun. See you tomorrow!

Watermelon Brother made a successful retreat, leaving Jiang Ye, who was watching from the side, completely stunned.

"How did my perfectly good sharing post turn into a betting contest?"

Jiang Lin grinned: "Now we've got buzz."

"If we can pass the test tomorrow, we'll be a huge success!"

"Alright, alright, time for bed!"

"Get some rest, you'll have to keep doing my hard labor tomorrow!"

Jiang Lin lit the mosquito coil and looked at the brand-new fan standing at the foot of his bed in his bedroom, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

"I'll give you an hour. Call me if you need anything."

"Mmm!" Jiang Ye looked at him from the bed. "Goodnight."

"Good night."

Jiang Lin gently closed the door, pulled out the wooden sofa in the living room, and lay down on it.

He took a deep breath: "Success or failure hinges on this!"
