Bai Qi found himself transported to another world—along with a farm. His phone also came preloaded with an app for a platform where cross-world travelers share their experiences, which syncs with his original world’s social media, e-commerce sites, and video platforms... He earns points by sharing his experiences in this new world, and those points can be exchanged for items from various worlds. He takes photos of elves, teaches tree people how to dance, and helps the sacred fox spirit write songs and choreograph dances... And to be honest, Bai Qi is living quite comfortably in this high-magic world.

Chapter 1: I Must Have Time-Traveled It was late at night. Stars dotted the sky, cradling a bright full moon. A gentle breeze rippled across the water, carrying the sound of ripples, along with the occasional crow of a rooster and Lao Hei’s snoring. “Raise a cup to the bright moon, to my shadow… or was it to drink with my shadow? Hahahaha, so corny, so corny.” “When life is good, one must revel to the fullest; let not the golden cup stand empty before the moon. Fill it up, fill it up.” Bai Qi was clearly a bit tipsy, grinning like an idiot. He was certainly on top of the world! It’s been almost three months now, and I’ve already spent half of the five million. It’s still hard to believe that I won the jackpot on my very first lottery ticket—a prize of over five million after taxes! Why the hell would I go back to work? Bai Qi quit his job on the spot, went out and had a wild time, then found a hidden paradise where he leased a small hill, over ten acres of land, and a fish pond. He built a villa with a massive garden at the foot of the mountain and happily began living the rural life he’d always dreamed of. Farming, raising fish, herding sheep, tending cattle, petting cats, walking dogs... In her spare time, she recorded fun videos showcasing rural life. With her skilled hands—whether in carpentry, flower arranging, or cooking—she might just accidentally become a minor internet sensation. Plus, she’d occasionally host barbecues and parties for friends and online followers, killing two birds with one stone: making money and having fun… Just thinking about this wonderful life ahead got Bai Qi really excited, so he took another big gulp. And honestly, the air here is truly amazing. After two months here, even his body—which had been worn down by all the work-related stress—has recovered a lot. Waking up every morning to run a lap in the mountains, Bai Qi felt that with his current stamina, he could even clap all night for love and wake up the next day without a single dark circle under his eyes. With a fatter wallet, a straighter back, and a much more open mindset, Life felt better than ever! However, the saying “too much of a good thing” is particularly mysterious—no one knows when it will strike. Like right now, for instance. “Huh? A shooting star?” Bai Qi, who had no idea how much he’d drunk, saw a bright spot suddenly appear on the horizon and plummet toward the ground. Thinking he was seeing things from the alcohol, he rubbed his eyes—but it was still there, and… getting closer and closer! “Holy shit!” Bai Qi rubbed his eyes again, only to find that the damn meteor seemed to be heading straight for him, growing larger and larger in his field of vision. Aren’t meteors supposed to burn up almost completely as they streak through the atmosphere? Could this be some massive meteorite? Bai Qi’s drunkenness vanished instantly, and he immediately took off running. But no matter how fast he ran, he couldn’t outrun the meteor’s descent. And it was massive—even after piercing the atmosphere and reaching the ground, it still looked like a mountain. Boom! With a deafening roar, the meteor crashed down. The fields, ponds, small hill, and the newly built house that Bai Qi had leased were all crushed beneath the meteorite. “Ah!” Apart from that scream, Bai Qi had nothing else to say to this world. It’s over. Completely over. So much for a wonderful life—now he couldn’t even stay alive! “Hm?” Closing her eyes, Bai Qi assumed she was doomed. She waited for what felt like an eternity but never felt the crushing pressure or impact of a falling meteor. She wondered to herself, “Does dying really hurt this little?” But then something felt off—it seemed she could still control her body. Slowly, she opened her eyes. Daylight! Bai Qi saw the sun hanging in the sky. Glancing around, the fields were there, the fish pond was there, the small hill was there, the villa he’d just finished building was there, and Old Black was still lying at his feet. “It was just a dream!” Bai Qi let out a long sigh, rubbed his temples, and figured he must have had too much to drink yesterday, fallen asleep right there, and been woken up by a nightmare. He woke Lao Hei up, then headed back to the villa to brush his teeth. After squeezing out some toothpaste, he turned on the faucet—but only a sound came out; no water. Is the water shut off? The water pipes here were connected to a nearby village, which had its own reservoir directly linked to a mountain spring. Logically, the water shouldn’t have cut out. He guessed there might be a blockage or a break somewhere, so he stepped outside and followed the pipe. If he really couldn’t find the problem, he’d have to ask the villagers for help. After walking less than a hundred meters, Bai Qi was stunned. The water pipe was cut off. It ended right here—there was nothing beyond this point! He’d always gotten along well with the villagers. Logically, no one should have done something so despicable. Bai Qi looked up toward the village. This time, he wasn’t just stunned—a chill ran down his spine, as if a cold wind had suddenly shot up his back. The village was gone! He looked up again in the other direction—the large mountain beyond the small hill was gone too. She looked again—even the small stream that had separated the village from her farm was gone. He looked again and again. Bai Qi realized that apart from the hillside, fields, fish ponds, and villa he had leased, everything else—familiar and unfamiliar alike—had vanished, replaced by wilderness, wasteland, and forests he had never seen before… Apart from the things connected to him, everything else seemed to have fallen from the sky; or rather, the things connected to him had suddenly been transported elsewhere. This eerie situation left Bai Qi feeling a bit at a loss! The water pipes were broken, so naturally, the power lines connecting to the village were cut as well. No water, no electricity. He ran back to the villa and pulled out his phone. The battery was charged, but there was no signal. This area was supposed to have full 4G coverage! He turned it off and on again. Same result. Now Bai Qi was completely flustered! If this wasn’t a dream, then barring any surprises, she had traveled through time—and brought a farm with her! As for where he’d ended up—who knows! Over the next hour, Bai Qi tried fifty different ways to prove he was dreaming. The outcome was, as you might expect. “Damn it, I really have time-traveled!” By now, Bai Qi knew for certain that the shooting star he’d seen before his time travel wasn’t a dream, and he also knew his time travel was definitely connected to that star crashing down. Back when he used to read time-travel novels, Bai Qi found them incredibly thrilling, but now, he felt not a shred of excitement. Here he was, vanishing into thin air from his original world. Who doesn’t have a few relatives and friends? To never see them again for the rest of one’s life—just thinking about it was heartbreaking. Plus, there was still over two million yuan sitting in her bank account! They say humans are forgetful creatures—that when you travel to a new world, you’ll build new relationships and experience the joys and sorrows of this new life… but damn it, Bai Qi had already confirmed that as far as the eye could see, this place didn’t look like it was inhabited at all! He crouched by the fish pond, scooped up a handful of water to splash on his face, and slapped his cheeks hard. No matter what, he had to face reality. Pulling himself together, he took Lao Hei—the only thing that gave Bai Qi any sense of warmth was probably Lao Hei, the big black dog that had been by his side for nearly three years—and first walked around the small hill he’d leased. He took stock of the cattle and sheep: five cows, thirty sheep—not a single one missing. The four pigs in the pen at the foot of the hill were all there too, and none of the chickens or ducks were missing either. She then walked through the fields. The dozen or so crops—including radishes, corn, rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and chili peppers—that she’d had the villagers plant earlier hadn’t been damaged, and she could see the fish fry in the pond. Returning to the warehouse behind the villa, he found that all the tools, as well as the seeds and fertilizers he’d purchased as spares, were still there. Since the village had suffered from occasional power outages, Bai Qi had specifically purchased a generator and stocked up on four barrels of diesel fuel; if electricity was absolutely necessary, they could manage for a while. Nothing was missing from inside the villa either. In short, everything on his farm was still there. At the very least, he wouldn’t starve to death for the time being. With the plants and animals in the fields and mountains, he could even survive here long-term without any issues. Of course, that’s assuming nothing unexpected happens in this world. Having accepted reality, Bai Qi dutifully fed all the animals, took care of the necessary farm work, and then returned to the house. He gathered up everything that could be charged, intending to use those four barrels of diesel solely for powering these rechargeable devices. In this unknown world, he wasn’t sure if electricity was already widespread, nor was he certain of the level of civilization, so he had to use the diesel sparingly. He started the generator, charged everything that needed charging, and shut it down immediately afterward. Before nightfall, Bai Qi confirmed that the fish pond wasn’t stagnant water; it had an inlet connected to a small ditch. He planned to follow the ditch upstream tomorrow to find the source. For now, he could only draw a few buckets of water from the inlet for household use. He had tasted the water—it was quite sweet and should meet drinking standards. Thankfully, they had a gas stove to cook meals. However, he only had one spare gas canister. He’d have to figure out how to build a makeshift stove within the next two days; otherwise, once the gas ran out, he’d be in trouble. As for a fire source, there’s no need to worry for now. Bai Qi is a smoker, and after searching around, he found four lighters. Speaking of which, this was a bit of a headache—it looked like he’d have to quit smoking whether he wanted to or not. As for firewood, there was plenty of it everywhere. After dinner, Bai Qi lit a bonfire in the front yard. Sitting by it, he stroked Lao Hei’s head. He wasn’t exactly at the end of his rope, but he really did feel like crying. Once the fire died down, Bai Qi stood up, brushed himself off, took a quick shower, and went to bed. Lying in bed, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what. He pulled out his phone, thinking he’d read the novel he’d already downloaded for a bit before sleeping. “Huh?” On his phone screen, Bai Qi spotted an app he’d never seen before. The icon was a door that looked incredibly magical, and the name was “Let’s Time Travel.” Bai Qi froze for a moment—he hadn’t downloaded an app like this at all. Could it be... Excited, Bai Qi tapped on it right away. After opening it, she gave a wry smile—with no signal and no Wi-Fi, there was no way the app would work. Yet, the app opened. A door appeared on the screen—the very same door featured on the app’s icon. The door slowly swung open, accompanied by particularly rousing background music. “Welcome to the Time Traveler Sharing Platform—Time Traveler!” Once the doors were fully open, a woman appeared inside—unbelievably beautiful, with stunning looks and a figure to die for. She said sweetly, “You can use the ‘Time Traveler’s Hub’ platform to share your experiences after time travel. By sharing, you’ll earn points. These points can be redeemed for items you need, helping you have a better time-travel experience.” After speaking, the woman stepped aside, and a user guide popped up in the center of the screen, explaining how to earn points, how to redeem items, and more.
