After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 164

When Mr. Xu first put on the VR device, he felt as if he had opened a door to another world.

From what Bai Lu and the others said, he realized that the scene before him was fake, but it was fake in a way that felt incredibly real.

He was completely immersed in a three-dimensional virtual space, an experience that surpassed all his previous knowledge.

At first, he felt a little dizzy, but that feeling was quickly replaced by surprise and excitement.

Looking around, he found himself standing on a vast grassland. The sky was so blue that the clouds seemed within reach. It was completely different from the crossroads where he was now, and even more so from his war-torn, ravaged homeland.

Here, he felt freedom and vitality, a world apart from his homeland and country whose fate was sealed.

He tried to walk forward again, each step accompanied by the soft touch of the grass under his feet, the sound of the wind, birdsong, and flowing water, each sound clearly discernible.

Suddenly, Grandpa Xu heard the bleating of a lamb. He looked up and saw a short, white lamb running towards him. He instinctively squatted down, wanting to hug it, but he didn't actually touch its soft wool.

But the next second, he suddenly felt a furry touch under his hand, and he realized that it was the illusion array of the child Bai Lu that had taken effect.

She had told him that the VR experience wasn't very realistic and that a special array was needed to compensate for its shortcomings.

The lamb wasn't startled by Grandpa Xu's approach; instead, it tilted its head curiously, scrutinizing him. Grandpa Xu felt a surge of joy and patted its head again, but a thought suddenly popped into his mind—

He had never eaten mutton.

In their region, mutton is a delicacy reserved for high-ranking officials and nobles. Legend has it that a concubine in the palace particularly loves lamb, especially full-term lambs that haven't yet given birth. She says the meat is tender, nourishing, and has no gamey smell.

With a change of heart, Grandpa Xu's surroundings also changed. He appeared at a roadside barbecue stall, where the owner of the grilled oyster stall waved to him enthusiastically: "Old sir, some oysters, please!"

Grandpa Xu's gaze, however, lingered on the meat skewers on the barbecue grill: "Boss, what kind of meat is this?" The oyster vendor replied: "Lamb skewers! Freshly slaughtered lamb, no water injection, five yuan a skewer!"

Five yuan?!

Having gained some understanding of the world's currencies, Old Master Xu thought it was incredibly cheap, but he didn't have any money. Suddenly remembering something, he touched his sleeve—

Grandpa Xu was still wearing his tattered long gown, but no one he encountered showed any sign of anything amiss. This was a bug that Bailu had deliberately left to prevent addiction.

Old Master Xu's sleeves were heavy; if they contained silver coins, they would amount to several dozen taels. But unfortunately, they contained a mobile phone, a must-have item for young people in this era.

But... he doesn't know how to use it!

So he handed it to the boss.

The owner paused for a moment while waving his palm-leaf fan: "Old sir, you're quite fashionable, but we don't offer QR code ordering here!"

"...I'm here to pay the bill."

Thus, a transfer method that does not require a password was born.

Grandpa Xu finally got to eat the "lamb skewers" he had been longing for!
It wasn't as delicious as I had imagined.

There is an indescribable taste.

It's not even as good as pork!
