Farming Games are All About Grinding

Clearly, the waiter who played the role of host hadn't anticipated this possibility. She froze for a moment before whispering in disbelief, "Oh my goodness, this gentleman actually jumped a distance of three meters and fifty centimeters! Let's congratulate this gentleman for winning the big pot discount at 90% off."

When the surrounding waitstaff and customers heard someone had actually jumped 3.5 meters to snag a rare discount, they all gathered around, astonished and eager to watch the drama unfold.

The restaurant owner, who was sitting inside the lobby, rushed out upon hearing the commotion. Holding a bright red discount voucher, the lady boss was about to say something but paused as she looked up and spotted Tang Qingying standing nearby. Breaking into a smile, she teased, "I knew I heard magpies chirping this morning! So Beautiful Tang is here—Is this your boyfriend? What a surprise, he's quite the athlete."

"Lalalala, envy me to death!" Tang Qingying smugly waggled her head and proudly introduced, "This is Han Qiwu, my boyfriend. And this is Li Lili, my college classmate who's now a boss lady."

"Boss lady? More like just scraping by for a meal. But you two really are a perfect match—handsome and talented, beautiful and smart. Looks like I'll be losing out today!" Li Lili laughed heartily and then asked, "By the way, can I trouble you for a group shot? So I can shut up the customers who keep saying 3.5 meters is just a gimmick—see, someone's proven it's doable!"

Han Qiwu smiled faintly. Jumping 3.5 meters is no easy feat; once he had a friend who was into parkour, and even jumping 3.2 meters back then was considered impressive.

Still, he didn't mind fulfilling the request. A photo could come in handy someday—perhaps even for promotions.

Tang Qingying turned to him after hearing the request and asked, "Would you mind going along with this? Don't let me influence your decision."

Han Qiwu's smile softened as he gently ruffled her hair. "No problem. But honestly, wouldn't a mid-air shot of my jump be more convincing?"

"Exactly! Qingying, your boyfriend is awesome. Then how about jumping again? Xiao Wang, go grab my DSLR!" Li Lili's eyes lit up as she enthusiastically complimented him.

A few minutes later, Han Qiwu stood at the take-off line and effortlessly cleared another 3.5-meter jump.

"Qingying, check out your boyfriend's form—not only athletic but graceful enough to be a spokesperson!" Li Lili remarked, talking animatedly with Tang Qingying while holding her DSLR.

Hearing so many compliments about Han Qiwu made Tang Qingying secretly delighted and abuzz with pride.

After setting the camera down, Li Lili suddenly had an idea and exclaimed, "Hey Qingying, want to try the 8.888 challenge together?"

Han Qiwu was just about to suggest this himself. Earlier, the jump was for a pot's discount, but now the cost of the dishes still needed covering. Sure, Li Lili seemed likely to comp everything anyway, but it wouldn't hurt to give the challenge a shot.

Tang Qingying was intrigued too. Nodding eagerly, she tugged Han Qiwu over.

The crowd, keen on continuing the show, followed close behind them.

A young boy, who earlier had loudly declared the feat impossible, now perched on his little bike like Zhuge Liang, analyzing the situation with studied precision. "That guy managed the long jump purely through brute force, but this 8.888 feature is about reaction speed. There's no way he'll nail it."

"Exactly! Last time I asked my PE teacher—he said human reflexes aren't fast enough for that kind of precision. Impossible!"

"Well, what if he's just lucky?"

"I've got great luck too, but even with all the times I've copied homework this term, I haven't been caught by the teacher—yet I still couldn't pull this off."

Tang Qingying and Han Qiwu chuckled as they overheard the chatter.

Li Lili stepped forward to reset the numbers to zero and turned to Tang Qingying. "Qingying, you want to try first? I won't lie—I've attempted this many times myself and barely succeeded."

Tang Qingying nodded, stepped up, and lightly tapped to start the timer.

"So, spicy or extra spicy later?" Tang Qingying casually asked Han Qiwu as she turned to him.

"Spicy will do. Extra spicy might upset the stomach later during the movie," Han Qiwu replied.

Li Lili chuckled helplessly from the sidelines. They've got time to chat casually while playing? Seriously?

But it wasn't a big deal; after all, this was just for fun.

As the numbers approached 7 seconds, Tang Qingying gave Han Qiwu a quick nod before turning back and randomly smacking the button.

The numbers froze—right at 8.888!

The crowd erupted in astonishment!

Was this even possible?

Even Tang Qingying herself was a bit surprised, gleefully walking back to Han Qiwu and exclaimed, "There, now we've saved on the cost of dishes! Hey Sister Li, I'm definitely ordering the lamb later!"

"Haha, go ahead, order as much as you like—if it's not enough, I'll throw in a few more plates on the house!" Li Lili excitedly snapped a photo with the DSLR, ensuring she captured the awestruck expressions of the surrounding crowd for added effect.

Han Qiwu gave her a thumbs up and showered her with praise.

It was undeniable—Tang Qingying's luck truly was unbeatable.

But after observing the challenge firsthand, he figured it shouldn't be too difficult for himself either.

His reflexes were undoubtedly faster than 0.1 seconds—factoring in some anticipation, it ought to be achievable.

He decided, why not give it a try?

Walking over, he reset the numbers, hit start, and then quietly watched the numbers roll.

By 7 seconds, he abruptly reached out to press the button.

"Too slow, his hand's positioned way off," Little Zhuge Liang began analyzing again.

"Smack!"

The numbers froze—another 8.888!

The crowd watched in astonishment, but they were surprisingly pragmatic, refraining from claiming collusion or setups. One after another, they marveled at the couple's sheer luck while some high-schoolers even stepped closer, hoping to rub off some good fortune.

Now it wasn't just the boy muttering incredulously, but other nearby kids joined in: "No way... that's just absurd!"

Han Qiwu gave a relaxed smile as Tang Qingying grabbed his small hand and they headed inside the restaurant.

A whopping twenty dishes comped!

Li Lili immediately handed her DSLR to a waiter and personally led them to a spacious private room. She even hurried to the kitchen to instruct the head chef to personally work on the award-winning pot—ensuring it was perfectly flavored with extra meat!

Once the private room door shut, Han Qiwu pulled out a bottle of monkey wine from his bag. "Want to try a bit? I had some with my family yesterday—it tastes pretty good, not too strong, though it does help you to sleep better."

"Of course! Pour me a full glass!" Tang Qingying eagerly grabbed two glasses and set them down, her boldness making her enthusiasm amusing.

The monkey wine released a gentle fruity aroma, which quickly had Tang Qingying swallowing hard. Picking up her glass, she said, "After all that walking earlier, I'm parched. Let's take a sip to quench our thirst."

Han Qiwu chuckled but didn't expose her antics, lightly tapping his glass against hers. "Alright, cheers—to hydrating! But remember, just this one little glass today."

"No problem!" Tang Qingying took an enthusiastic gulp, drinking nearly a third of her glass, savoring the rich and mellow notes of the wine as she took her time to swallow.

"Delicious! Maybe we should top off a bit more?"

"Nope, time to eat instead. Behave!"

"Aww… fine."
