"Farmer Lin Zhaokai, according to detection, all offensive forces within your farm have been completely eliminated. You have lost this battle and have been eliminated."
"Eliminated? No, I am a Lin family member, I cannot fall on the 16th day..." Lin Zhaokai watched in horror as his body slowly disappeared, starting from his feet.
Although he desperately waved his arms, like a drowning person struggling to save himself, he was quickly and thoroughly kicked out of the instance.
Whether it was a candidate currently in battle or one not yet in battle, everyone heard the mechanical voice's broadcast.
"Farmer Lin Zhaokai has been eliminated."
As a member of the Lin family and the fourth-ranked individual on the recently published leaderboard, many candidates recognized the name Lin Zhaokai. Upon hearing of his elimination, a commotion erupted among the candidates.
"Holy moly, Lin Zhaokai was actually eliminated???"
"What? The first to be eliminated was actually Lin Zhaokai?!"
"No way, Lin Zhaokai is from the Lin family, and he's ranked fourth. Who's so powerful that they could eliminate Lin Zhaokai?"
"It must be Wen Xiangjie! The top-ranked Wen Xiangjie, who was indeed threatened by Lin Zhaokai!"
"Even someone ranked fourth can be eliminated. It seems that besides the top-ranked Big Boss Wen, no one is safe. This Strongest Farm Owner Battle is too brutal. I'm just a small fry; please, don't attack me, let me get a few more points..."
"Farmer Wen Xiangjie, according to detection, all offensive forces within Farmer Lin Zhaokai's farm have been completely eliminated. You have won this battle and acquired Farmer Lin Zhaokai's farm."
"Please select the farm's ownership method."
After taking over Lin Zhaokai's farm, two options popped up in front of Wen Xiangjie.
The left option was to directly merge Lin Zhaokai's farm land into her yard, expanding its size. The right option was to arrange Lin Zhaokai's farm land in a tiered manner around the periphery of Wen Xiangjie's farm.
Wen Xiangjie chose the right option without hesitation.
Mainly, she felt that the current layout of her farm was perfect, and merging other lands of varying quality next to her land would affect the overall aesthetic.
After selecting the ownership method, Wen Xiangjie opened her game profile. The number of farms she owned changed from 1 to 2.
She looked at the land outside her farm that originally belonged to Lin Zhaokai and found it a bit barren.
She needed to get a few more plots of land to accompany Lin Zhaokai's land so that Lin Zhaokai's land wouldn't appear isolated.
It is said that birds of a feather flock together. Since several farm owners were close to Lin Zhaokai, it stood to reason that their lands would also want to be next to Lin Zhaokai's land.
One of Lin Zhaokai's lackeys who had surrounded Wen Xiangjie and mocked her by saying, "So cowardly, what a waste of such good talent, why not give it to Lin Shao?" was a candidate named Bao Yunjing.
His mind was not as flexible as Lin Zhaokai's, and he failed to think of using a magical deed to initiate battles with other candidates, thereby avoiding the battle Wen Xiangjie initiated against him.
At this moment, he also had no mood to actively initiate battles with other farm owners. Instead, he stood anxiously at the shop entrance, biting his hand, like a prisoner awaiting sentencing.
Upon hearing the mechanical voice announce Lin Zhaokai's elimination, Bao Yunjing's suspended heart finally died.
"Farmer Bao Yunjing, you have been designated as an attack target by Farmer Wen Xiangjie. You cannot refuse. Please prepare for battle. The battle will officially begin in three minutes."
The notification sound in his ear made Bao Yunjing tremble violently, as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy before death.
Wen Xiangjie really used a magical deed on him!
Looking at the blood-red countdown appearing in the sky, Bao Yunjing felt his mind go blank.
What should he do? He didn't want to be eliminated!
Damn countdown, stop decreasing the time!!!
Bao Yunjing squatted on the ground, hands clasped over his head, attempting to blind himself by not looking at the countdown.
He maintained this posture as he entered the battle, and Wen Xiangjie, lying on her recliner, saw him clearly.
"What kind of pose is that?" Wen Xiangjie asked in a teasing tone.
Hearing Wen Xiangjie's voice, Bao Yunjing's body trembled even more violently. He shakily raised his head and saw Wen Xiangjie floating in the air, as well as the extraordinarily imposing towering tree behind her. His lips trembled, and he mumbled, trying to say something, but his throat was so hoarse that no sound came out.
"How can you not even dare to stand up from the ground and greet me? So cowardly, what a waste of such good land, why not give it to me?" Wen Xiangjie said with a smile.
She had an excellent memory; she remembered every word anyone had said back then. Of course, now she had to return all those words to them.
Unless the knife pierced one's own body, one would never know how painful it was.
Although Wen Xiangjie felt nothing about the mockery from Bao Yunjing and others at the time, even thinking that as small cannon fodder, they needed to improve their language skills—cannon fodder should also advance with the times, increase their vocabulary, and not always use those old-fashioned lines.
But this did not prevent Wen Xiangjie from using the knife in Bao Yunjing's hand to stab him twice more.
This age is just right to personally experience some youthful angst literature.
After mocking him, while Bao Yunjing was still dazed and disoriented, Wen Xiangjie simply waved her hand, letting the magic plants attack.
What if Bao Yunjing came to his senses, realized there was no turning back, and then, in a fit of rage, barked at her?
Sure enough, the mechanical prompt reminding him that he had been defeated and would be eliminated woke up the dazed Bao Yunjing.
"Wen Xiangjie, you bastard..." Bao Yunjing cursed at Wen Xiangjie with bloodshot eyes.
Unfortunately, he came to his senses too late. He only managed to utter a single syllable of a plant before being expelled from the instance.
Wen Xiangjie happily ate a potato chip.
If he couldn't get his curse out, he'd be stifled to death, hehe.
Immediately after, Wen Xiangjie eliminated the remaining few of Lin Zhaokai's lackeys, who were just like Bao Yunjing, from the instance in one go, and took their painstakingly upgraded farms for herself.
Outside the instance, the invigilator patrolling the entrance keenly noticed that the crack in the instance entrance had lit up.
Immediately after, a candidate was unceremoniously thrown onto the open ground by the instance.
The number of candidates eliminated during the day was not large, but it wasn't zero. The patrolling invigilator was not surprised and planned to go forward to check the status of the eliminated candidate. If he was normal, he would directly let his class teacher take him away.
"Which school are you from, candidate? State your class and name... Lin Zhaokai?!"
