Chapter 22： Bug-Like Achievements

Ye Chen opened his eyes and removed the game helmet, and wanted to discreetly get up to make breakfast without disturbing the two little lolis sleeping beside him. However, he only just turned his head before Xiao Jing's bright eyes staring at him curiously.

"You woke up so early today?" Ye Chen squeezed Xiao Jing's tiny, egg-shaped face that was still a little chubby with baby fat.

"No, I just woke up a while ago. I was just wondering when Big Brother will wake up, and then Big Brother actually woke up when I was thinking that," Xiao Jing said with a soft giggle, and Ye Chen didn't know if the words of the little girl were true or false.

"Xiao Lan is still asleep, so don't wake her up. She is still young, let her sleep a little longer. Oh right, Xiao Jing, do you want to sleep in a little longer?" Gently pulling away Xiaolan's little hand, helping to pull the sheets over her body, Ye Chen asked softly.

"No, I want to help Big Brother to make breakfast." Xiao Jing quickly got up from the bed with a cute grunt.

"Well, go brush your teeth and wash your face first." Ye Chen knew Xiao Jing's character and knew that any words he said would fall upon deaf ears, so they quietly left the room and began to brush their teeth and wash their faces.

The two of them started to cook breakfast. However, Ye Chen was just doing it alone, while Xiao Jing just walked behind like a little follower. It was a simple matter to make breakfast. However, today Ye Chen still had to make a trip outside, so he prepared both Xiao Jing and Xiao Lan's portion of lunches as well.

When the meal was almost ready, Xiao Lan walked out of the room while rubbing her eyes groggily.

"Xiao Jing, why haven't you woken me up?" Taking advantage that Ye Chen didn't pay attention to her, Xiao Lan tugged at Xiao Jing's clothes and complained with a face full of grievances.

"No, I called you, but you didn't wake up," Xiao Jing smiled and answered.

"Is that true? Then you must shake me harder next time." Xiao Lan thought back hard to see if there were any memories in this respect. Still, she couldn't think of anything, so she gave a sincere plea to Xiao Jing.

"Big Brother will be going out today, but it won't take a few days. After that, I can accompany you two at home almost every day in the future." While eating as per their usual breakfast routine, Ye Chen smiled and announced to the two little girls.

"Really?" The little girls' black pupils sparkled with joy. 

"Of course."

"Yay, that's great!" The two little girls were delighted. Although they were very sensible, they were still children, after all.

"I'm going out. Please be careful. If someone knocks on the door like yesterday, turn on the TV and blast the volume, then they won't dare to come in." After eating, Ye Chen instructed the two before heading out.

The purpose behind going out today, was primarily to head to the construction site and quit his job. Although he was originally contracted as a temporary worker on the construction site, and there was no limit to the duration of his work contract, it didn't mean he could just leave whenever he wanted.

"Ye Chen, have you found a new job?"

During the break, Ye Chen told the foreman about his resignation. The workers around him heard that Ye Chen was going to stop and all flocked, asking enthusiastically.

"In a way, yes," Ye Chen nodded and replied with a smile. It was too troublesome to explain in depth.

"It's good to do another kind of work. This kind of physical work is trading your life for money. If we can choose not to do it, we wouldn't have wanted to do it. But we don't have a choice. You're still young and have a lot of prospects. Changing to other jobs and exploring your options is something that you should do." Old Qian praised Ye Chen, and the workers around him all nodded.

...

"Then, for the money, can I trouble foreman to credit it to my bank account when the time comes. You guys are busy, I will be going first."

The foreman on the construction site did not make things difficult for Ye Chen. Regarding Ye Chen, the foreman's impression of him was quite good. When he heard that Ye Chen had found a new job, he immediately agreed to let him go. As for the wages, it was tallied on a monthly basis. Ye Chen's share could not be given out until all salaries were settled.

"Relax, we won't cut out your portion." The foreman lit a cigarette and waved to Ye Chen.

"If you have the time, come over to play!" Seeing Ye Chen leave, some workers around him who were already familiar with him shouted in the distance.

"If I have time, I definitely will." Ye Chen waved his hand, but he knew these were just platonic pleasantries. The work at this construction site was almost completed. After the construction site was completed, these workers would not know where they would go to continue work on a new construction site.

...

"Big Brother!" Ye Chen returned to the house, and the two little lolis greeted him happily.

"Brother, I played a puzzle with Xiao Lan today, and I won once!" Grasping Ye Chen's arm, Xiao Jing proudly boasted.

"Really? Xiao Jing is really incredible." Ye Chen caressed Xiao Jing's head affectionately.

"Big Brother Ye, I intentionally let her win." However, after a while, Xiao Lan quietly whispered in Ye Chen's ear, making Ye Chen indecisive whether to cry or laugh as he listened to her.

Soon, the three of them finished their dinner, but Ye Chen was not in a hurry to play the game instead accompanying the two little girls to watch TV.

Looking at the happy two little lolis, Ye Chen was also thinking about his schedule in the future.

He really wanted to make a living from the game, but just playing at night, the time would definitely be far from enough, or at least he was still from this ideal at his current stage. His character was still so low-level, and it will take a lot of time to level up, but he can't just throw the two girls at home every day and stay in the game all day long.

"I think it's better to buy a set of indoor monitoring equipment game support packages." Ye Chen thought about it and came up with a barely feasible solution.

The indoor monitoring equipment game support package could allow Ye Chen to split up several small screens to watch the scenes captured by indoor cameras. Not only that, but it could also transmit Ye Chen's image in the game to his indoor TV, not to mention the fact that it even enabled voice chat with people in the room.

Ye Chen searched up the prices on the Internet. Fortunately, it was not too expensive, only requiring 5000 yuan, which was still within his budget. Ye Chen immediately placed an order and bought a set. The website informed him that his order would be delivered the next day.

Meanwhile, as Ye Chen was troubled by the matters concerning the two little lolis, the in-game discussion had already reached a frenzied breaking point!

"Fuck me, 468 grains of rice, how is this even possible!"

"Not only that, look at the number of people in the teams! There are only two people, two people! They're even a Priest and a Botanist!"

"No, look at the Levels! They were only Level 10 when they entered. How is it possible? There is definitely a bug in the game!"

...

Although most adventurers knew that it was impossible to achieve the first place with their achievements, there were still many adventurers concerned about who would get their hands on the lottery-like rewards after six o'clock in the evening. Yet, looking at the unprecedented, record-breaking number of grains gathered resulted in a sensational buzz amongst the adventurers.

In the past few years, among the mission teams that have attempted "The Thieves in the Rice Fields", some teams have achieved amazing results. Still, the number of 300+ grains of rice had always been the limit, and no team could exceed 400. Now, such a group has emerged and even achieved the breathtaking result of 468 in one fell swoop.

If it was a team that was a publicly-recognised powerhouse, then it would still be okay. Although everyone would find it strange, they won't have too much of an opinion about it. They will merely treat it as the other party having a stroke of luck or perhaps using some sort of unique item. However, on the given name list of champion teams given, it was actually only a two-member team with both members at Level 10. Both their professions were even publicly revealed to be the weakest early-game damage dealer duo of a Botanist and Priest!

For these two professions, even if they were clad in Gold-grade pieces of equipment, it was questionable whether they could survive in the Golden Paddy Fields. So how was it possible that they managed to achieve such jaw-dropping and practically impossible to achieve results?

Bug!

The adventurers who got wind of the news all developed this strange feeling, and soon someone posted on the game's official forum!
