Farming game: Survival for all [StarCraft]

001.
Rumble!
Bright lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and waterfalls of rain poured down from the sky as if they were free.

Xia Ji woke up in severe pain. With the occasional flashes of lightning, she saw that her left wrist was covered with almost dried blood, and the bed sheets were also stained with scarlet.

Gan!
"System, open the game screen."

Xia Ji said to the system in his mind.

The next second, a faint blue light lit up before her eyes. After the familiar galaxy icon flashed, the blue light faded, and a screen with warm white light floated in front of her.

“What is the estimated loading time?”

"This game is quite complex and is expected to take 48 hours. Players are advised to upgrade their soul strength first to avoid the current body becoming weak and unusable."

"Shell... System, you still talk in such an unlovely way."

Xia Ji complained, and without further ado, he quickly clicked to use the blue crystals. When the number of blue crystals on the screen was emptied, Xia Ji's "severe pain, dizziness, and weakness" disappeared, which made Xia Ji not so weak that he couldn't get off the ground.

She lay on the bed and received the original owner's memories first. After receiving them, Xia Ji wished she had not received them, because there were so many negative emotions in the memories, hunger, discomfort, separation, gloom, and world-weariness... She seemed to have opened a Pandora's box. Except for a few positive energies, the rest were all negative energy.

Fortunately, she had just upgraded her soul strength, otherwise she would not be able to withstand these negative emotions.

But even so, Xia Ji was still affected to some extent. For example, she became a little more displeased with the rumbling thunder and pouring rain outside.

Rainy days are comfortable weather for sleeping. Even if it is a thunderstorm, it is not disgusting.

But what if it rains continuously?
In the 3048th year of the Blue Water Planet Calendar, the world entered a period of heavy rainfall, and the rain has never stopped since June of that year.

At first, people living in areas with heavy rain in the summer did not take this matter seriously. Even various countries only reported this strange phenomenon. At that time, everyone was joking on the Internet, saying that it was raining all over the world and people should be careful about rising sea levels.

As a result, they could no longer make jokes later, because the sea level was really rising, and with continuous rainfall, the sea level continued to rise, the glaciers melted, and some island countries and low-lying coastal areas were the first to be unable to withstand it. They were submerged by the sea and disappeared.

Thanks to the timely rescue, there were not too many casualties. However, the rain continued and the disasters caused by the continuous rainfall were gradually manifesting themselves.

From island countries, to coastal areas, to basin areas with poor drainage and prone to landslides, to most parts of the world.

In just one year, most of the human cities were submerged, some countries disappeared, some countries were merged into other countries, and some countries were not clear-headed and refused to accept the reality of national destruction, nor did they want to merge into other countries to gain a chance of survival. Instead, they became perverted in the disaster and launched wars of aggression.

However, this war did not eventually develop into a world war because the sea level was rising faster and faster. Scientists used various means but were unable to stop the rainfall. They could not even find the real reason for the continuous rainfall.

Everyone remembered the heavy rain that lasted for two million years in the history of Blue Water Planet, and worried that this was another reshuffle of Blue Water Planet and that humans, the global overlord, might be wiped out. At this time, except for a few people who were not in their right minds, no one wanted to fight. They just wanted to actively save themselves to prevent humans from being really extinct.

Fortunately, with the development of human history to this day, although no other civilizations have been discovered in space, the technology is already sufficient to support the immigration plan. Long before, several major countries in the world jointly conducted research, stationing and development on a planet that is most suitable for human survival. After this global rainfall event, the country stepped up its development efforts, and when the sea water was about to submerge the world's second highest peak, the country gradually completed the immigration plan.

But this does not mean that we can sit back and relax, because even though this planet is the most similar to the blue planet among the billions of planets detected in the universe and the most suitable for human survival, it is still a "dead planet" after all. There are no animals, no plants, no microorganisms, and it is also affected by various factors such as oxygen, gravity, and climate.

Humankind has gone to great lengths, almost going bankrupt, to finally establish several bases suitable for human survival.

Then, when we thought that this was the time to fully transform and develop the planet, feed humanity, create a second blue planet, and continue searching for a suitable planet in outer space, it suddenly started raining on this planet again!
"Have humans been possessed by the rain god? It rains wherever they go!"

Countless people have made similar complaints, but there is nothing they can do. The rain is still falling, and humans no longer have the resources to support another planetary immigration plan. They can only actively save themselves.

Fortunately, unlike the Blue Water Planet, this planet does not rain every day. The rain stops sometimes. Sometimes it stops for a day, sometimes it stops for a week, and the longest time it stopped was a month.

This became a chance for mankind to catch its breath.

However, after the migration, the human population continued to decline.

Disease, hunger, accidents, rainy day syndrome...

As of now, the human population of the entire planet is less than 500 million.

The original body died of depression. The original body was lucky because she survived the immigration plan and successfully landed on the new planet Hope. In the early days, she found a job in infrastructure projects and was able to support herself.

But she was also unfortunate because her family, relatives and friends were either infected with the virus before the planetary immigration plan began, or had a car accident, or died because they could not adapt to the environment after immigration.

In the third year on Hope Star, the original body became an orphan, without parents, relatives, or close friends.

There are many people like her in Hope Star.

The original owner did not have the intention to die at that time. Instead, she felt that she should keep living, and keep living for the sake of her parents, relatives and friends. In this way, her parents, relatives and friends would still be remembered by someone and would not be "really dead".

However, when it started raining on Hope Star, the original owner's mentality slowly changed.

She suffered from Rainy Day Syndrome, a new disease that appeared before the planet's large-scale immigration plan began. People with Rainy Day Syndrome cannot see any signs in the early stages, they just feel a decrease in appetite and a bad mood.

But in the middle or late stages, some may have hallucinations and think they are a fish, rushing out crazy when it rains; some will be extremely afraid of rain, getting terrified when hearing thunder, and feel a burning pain when hit by rain as if being dripped by sulfuric acid; others may suffer from severe depression and have suicidal tendencies from time to time.

The original body belonged to the latter. Although she tried her best to control herself and used her limited money to buy medicine for treatment, she was ultimately unable to resist the disease and ended her life on a rainy night that lasted for two months.

Xia Ji sighed and planned to use the light from the screen to clean the blood and wounds on his hands.

In the fifth year of Hope Star, Huameng has basically solved the problem of electricity supply for residents, but occasionally there will still be problems with the power supply system, resulting in power outages.

The night the original owner decided to commit suicide, there was a problem with the power supply system, and emergency repairs would take about 25 hours in a working day (the time it takes for the Hope Star to rotate).

So she had to use the light from the game screen.

In fact, Xia Ji used the game screen as a flashlight quite a few times.
She was bound to the system in her previous life when she traveled to the 1960s.

At that time, Xia Ji didn't actually trust the system that much, even though the system repeatedly explained that it did not take advantage of her sleepiness and unconsciousness to intentionally bind her, but it was just too excited when it found her as a bindable player (after all, it had been drifting in time and space for many years and had never bound a player since its release), so it immediately rushed over to bind her.

But how could Xia Ji, a cautious person, dare to believe the words of this magical system?

She was determined not to use the system and agreed to play the game and complete it, even if the system could tempt her by allowing her to travel to another world.

But at that time, her motherland was in a situation of internal and external difficulties. Xia Ji, who had been raised by the country all her life, could not just stand by and watch. With the courage of "seeking the skin of a tiger", she handed over the system to the country.

At first, she just wanted to grow some land to alleviate famine, but later, she could grow 1,000 kilograms of wheat per mu, grow pumpkins per hour, and use desktop computers to perform hundreds of millions of calculations per second... The more she played the game, the more she had, the stronger her country became, and the deeper her ties with the system became.

Before she knew it, she had been traveling with the system for a lifetime, and actually completed the game, gaining the opportunity to travel through time again.

By now, Xia Ji has become accustomed to the existence of the system just like he is accustomed to breathing.

After spending a lifetime, Xia Ji finally understood that this system is indeed a formal system. Especially in the second half of his life, it has almost become a "patriotic system" and will consider things from the perspective of serving the people.

So, "Brother Tong, if it's appropriate this time, we can hand it over to the country."
