Bai Qi found himself transported to another world—along with a farm. His phone also came preloaded with an app for a platform where cross-world travelers share their experiences, which syncs with his original world’s social media, e-commerce sites, and video platforms... He earns points by sharing his experiences in this new world, and those points can be exchanged for items from various worlds. He takes photos of elves, teaches tree people how to dance, and helps the sacred fox spirit write songs and choreograph dances... And to be honest, Bai Qi is living quite comfortably in this high-magic world.
Chapter 2: Point Redemption
Chapter 2: Point Redemption “So this is the legendary perk for time travelers, huh!” After reading the instructions, Bai Qi understood how to earn points and redeem items. She also saw the list of redeemable items. The list was incredibly long and comprehensive—it included almost everything available through normal channels in her original world, even more extensive than Taobao. Moreover, this list of redeemable items would continue to grow. Currently, Bai Qi’s account on “Crossed Over” was a Level 1 account—the most basic tier. Since accounts had levels, they naturally came with corresponding privileges. A Level 1 account allows users to post one message per day on the “Have You Traveled Through Time?” platform, limited to text and images; it enables the redemption of items that could be purchased through normal channels in the original world before the time travel; and it allows users to link one online platform from the original world. Accounts can be upgraded, and privileges increase accordingly. The upgrade process is simple: spend points. Once you accumulate a certain number of points, you can upgrade. However, that “certain” number is a real headache for Bai Qi—1 million! It takes 1 million points to upgrade. Currently, Bai Qi has 0 points in his account. Earning points is also simple: by posting and sharing content. Points are earned through shares, comments, tips, and clicks generated by those posts. The conversion rate is 1 point per share, comment, or like; 100 clicks equal 1 point; and tips are calculated based on the original world’s currency, with 1 RMB equaling 10 points. Due to account permissions, only sharing, commenting, and liking are currently available, with each action earning 1 point. Bai Qi didn’t understand the whole click and comment system, but when he compared it to the tipping feature, he realized just how difficult it would be to level up his account. To put it bluntly, it basically meant he’d have to spend 100,000 yuan just to level up once. Damn it, what game in the real world is this exploitative?! He couldn’t help but sigh, wishing he could transfer the money from his bank account over here! With this comparison, she also roughly understood how the points required for items in the exchange list were calculated—it was pretty much based on this ratio. For example, a standard lighter required 10 points to exchange, which was exactly one yuan. After looking at all this, Bai Qi felt more relieved than frustrated. He decided to put the account leveling on hold for now; with this exchange list, at least he wouldn’t have to worry about making ends meet here. As for earning points, that would just have to happen gradually—but at least he now had a way to do it. Bai Qi logged into her account dashboard and, without a second thought, linked it to her Weibo account from her original world. For her, Weibo was currently the best platform for earning points. Bai Qi’s Weibo still had several thousand followers, mostly attracted by his travel posts from a while back and his updates on starting the farm. He checked the time—it was just past 10 p. m. Bai Qi knew that at his current account level, he could only post once a day, and he didn’t want to miss the opportunity. He got up and took a walk around. It was pitch black—he had no idea what to photograph. Then he looked up and saw the beautiful young woman he’d seen countless times in the app, but seeing her in the flesh was on a whole other level! Bai Qi had seen his fair share of the world and had met plenty of beautiful women in real life, but none could compare to that girl he’d just seen. Whether it was her looks, her aura, or her figure, she could completely outshine anyone in the global entertainment industry! He’d tried earning points and redeeming items—both worked perfectly—so Bai Qi went to bed feeling completely satisfied. He woke up early the next morning and immediately checked “I Must Have Time-Traveled.” There were a few more likes and comments, plus two shares, and his points had reached 17. After washing up and cooking a pot of porridge, he headed out. He took Lao Hei for a run around the farmstead. He didn’t dare venture too far for now, ensuring everything remained normal within his “territory.” It was the second day since her arrival. Besides finishing the daily chores on the farm, Bai Qi thought she should also begin exploring this world, and take some photos along the way—preferably unique ones—to earn more points. After drinking some porridge and feeding Lao Hei, she took him up the mountain to feed the animals. Then she returned to the house, grabbed a shovel and a hatchet, slung a backpack filled with food and water over her shoulder, strapped on her DSLR, and set off along the small irrigation channel by the fish pond. First, she needed to secure a water source.
