Starting with Crimson

Inside a cave covered with green grass.

A huge, snake-shaped skeleton was coiled up there.

Beside the skeleton, Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses expressionlessly.

Looking at the opened iron box in front of him, Chu Xuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Round Wheat

[Grade: D]

This high-quality wheat, cultivated by the ancient human scholar Zhenzhen, originated from the beautiful Dongshan Plain and solved the problem of the ancient people eating too much rice.

[Round wheat, eat more steamed buns and less rice.]

Ancient humans?

Because I am human, or...

Chu Xuan looked at the wheat in front of him and fell into deep thought.

……

China's official live broadcast room.

Jinghai City Live Broadcast Room.

"The licking king is so handsome!"

"He's incredibly handsome!"

"The King of Licking is awesome!"

"Always strive for first place!"

"The King of Licking is Invincible!"

"Crushing all the stars!"

"What's wrong? Is the system limiting you to only four characters? I wasn't restricted."

"The person upstairs is an idiot!"

"Mind your formation!"

Unbeknownst to Li Qingyu, he had already earned the title of "King of Licking".

The victory of the two Chinese athletes on the first day instantly swelled the national pride of the Chinese people.

……

United Nations conference room.

On the main screen in the conference room, footage of numerous Blue Star athletes competing was being broadcast live from various cities.

Among them, what attracted the most attention from the representatives of various countries were two live broadcast screens filled with green light.

One is a cave filled with green light, and the other is a living room shimmering with green light.

The Chinese representative picked up his teacup, took a sip, and watched the two people on the live stream with a smile.

The US representative, with his deadpan expression, kept glancing at the little guy who was still lost in the sandstorm.

The Mao representative held a skewer in his left hand and an oversized beer mug in his right, taking a bite of skewer and a sip of beer.

"Is everything ready?" The Chinese representative turned his gaze to the American and Maoist representatives.

"If I hadn't been waiting for you all, I could have launched already," the US representative said, rolling his dead fish eyes.

"Burp! ~ All done."

"Then let's launch it."

"OK!" "OK!"

Ten minutes later, if you looked at Earth from space, you would see three differently shaped spacecraft simultaneously emerging from Earth's atmosphere in different directions.

These three spacecraft flew toward the red star, the white star, and the green star in this space, respectively.

……

The two suns of Saha are slowly rising from the horizon.

Soft rays of sunlight shone into the quiet and peaceful Pineapple Castle from two different directions.

Princess Qiqi sat on the windowsill of the living room on the first floor of Pineapple Castle with her eyes closed. She folded her transparent wings, tilted her little head up through the glass, and enjoyed the warmth of the morning sun.

On the living room carpet, Li Qingyu was holding his husky, and the two of them were fast asleep, facing each other.

The husky's tongue dragged on the carpet, and Li Qingyu's drool also dragged on the carpet.

As the sun rose, the sunlight streaming through the window slowly moved onto Li Qingyu's face.

In his sleep, Li Qingyu reached out and scratched his non-mainstream hairstyle, which had been fixed by the liquid inside the sand scorpion's body, and then tugged at the collar of his T-shirt.

"Oh no, I'm going to be late for work!"

Suddenly, Li Qingyu shouted and sat up from the carpet, staring blankly ahead, his hands mechanically groping around his body.

"Where are the clothes?"

As Li Qingyu sat up, the husky was thrown into the air and tumbled over.

Snapped!

Head first.

boom!

Landed on his back.

Li Qingyu gradually came to his senses and stopped groping with his hands.

I looked at the husky, who had fallen and was still sleeping.

Oh dear... It seems like I'm not working today...

They're participating in a competition right now.

very nice.

No need to go to work.

Li Qingyu lay back down, closed his eyes, changed his position to avoid the sunlight on his face, and continued to sleep…

I don't know how much time has passed.

Gugu~

A protesting sound came from inside my stomach.

"I'm starving!"

Li Qingyu sat up while rubbing his stomach.

He looked around.

Hmm...that's nice....

The familiar husky.

The familiar pineapple burger.

Damn, a pineapple burger!!

Li Qingyu was now completely sober.

The civilization competition is still going on, I wonder how long they've been asleep.

Li Qingyu quickly got up, walked barefoot to the window, and looked outside.

Before his eyes stretched a verdant meadow, like a green ocean, extending as far as Li Qingyu could see, showing no trace of a desert.

Two enormous suns hung in the sky, one on the left and one on the right.

I must say, it actually looks quite symmetrical.

But... is it morning or afternoon now?

Crimson, what do you think?

[Crimson: Ah, I can't see it either. Why don't you check the quest panel?]

Crimson, what's wrong with you? Have you gone mad?

Has my proud and sharp-tongued Crimson Sister left me?

Li Qingyu opened the task panel with a heavy heart and saw that there were still eight hours until the daily Oasis leaderboard settlement.

It seems he didn't sleep for long before falling asleep...

Li Qingyu did some quick calculations.

16 hours?

Thank goodness.

Soon, we can collect rice again.

Li Qingyu looked at the bag of rice on the ground; it didn't look like it would last for a month.

Forget about rice, let's give them some vegetables instead.

People are starving.

Feeling his stomach growling again, Li Qingyu headed down to the kitchen. As he passed the husky, he kicked it again.

pig!

They're still asleep.

[Crimson: Um, I think the dog's condition is probably a side effect of overusing Beastmaster's Heart; he might need to sleep for a day or two.]

Okay, then I misunderstood you.

But can't you make it clear whether it's one or two days or just one day?

[Crimson: Uh... I don't know either.]

Did you replace your CPU?

Ignoring the now-foolish Crimson, Li Qingyu went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of orange soda and a box of golden fried rice.

I opened the orange soda and took a sip.

Whew, that felt great.

Next, Li Qingyu heated up the golden fried rice in the microwave.

Two minutes later, Li Qingyu brought the heated golden fried rice to the living room sofa.

He picked up the spoon, scooped up a large spoonful, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mmm, it smells delicious.

At this moment, Qiqi, who smelled the aroma, flew down from upstairs and came to Li Qingyu's lunchbox, looking at it curiously with her little face.

"Want to try some?"

Li Qingyu scooped a small spoonful of fried rice and placed it in front of Qiqi.

Qiqi looked at the fried rice in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then shook her head at Li Qingyu.

[Crimson: I think she's probably not yet capable of eating.]

Don't tell me what you think, tell me what I think.

Seeing that Qiqi wasn't eating, Li Qingyu continued to eat heartily, drinking orange soda as he ate.

In just a few minutes, his lunch was ready.

Li Qingyu patted his belly on the sofa, lay on his side, and looked satisfied.

I glanced at the husky, still sleeping. Well, that's fine. No dog will steal my fried rice now. In a couple of days, you can eat plain white rice instead.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Qingyu felt that his pockets were a bit uncomfortable, so he shifted his body and reached into his pockets to rummage around.
