1. Inheriting The Farm

In the vast universe, an ordinary small spaceship swam slowly among the stars.

That was where Gu Bai woke up.

He looked around and found everything strange. Suddenly, a piercing pain from his wrist drew his attention.

It was a knife cut. Right now, the bathtub he was in was red with blood, which seemed horrific.

Gu Bai knew it wasn't his body. After all, even when life was difficult in his last life, it had never occurred to him to commit suicide.

To live was the biggest wish of everyone in his time.

Suddenly, a large number of memory fragments rushed into his mind, drawing his attention from his wrist. He frowned, and sweat oozed from his forehead, looking as if in pain.

After a long time, Gu Bai’s expression relaxed, and he understood everything in front of him.

He had traveled through time. Before his last life, he might consider it ridiculous. But since he had supernatural abilities in his last life, he knew everything was possible.

Before his arrival, the body belonged to Shen Bai, the young master of the Shen family in the Central Star who had lived a comfortable life in his childhood.

However, after the death of his mother Gu Yuyan, his father Shen Congye remarried a woman named Zhao Chunshan. Since then, Shen Bai had lived miserably and was kicked out of the Central Star when he was 18 years old, thanks to Zhao Chunshan.

Zhao Chunshan had treated him nicely when they had company but was harsh when they were alone. As time went by, Zhao Chunshan disgraced Shen Bai publicly, gave him a bad boy persona and everyone disliked him. Even worse, when he was driven out, it was claimed that he was here to inherit his birthmother's farm.

Gu Yuyan’s birth family was as prestigious as the Shen family many years ago, but she was the only child.

After her death, her parents soon passed away out of grief. Soon, the Gu family declined and most of their properties were annexed by Shen Congye. In the end, the only property left was the small farm on the fringe planet.

Gu Bai knew the farm was kept only because it was too distant from the Central Star.

Since Shen Bai was thrown out by his family, hated by his father, and had to live a poor life far from the Central Star, he ended his life in despair, leaving Gu Bai a chance to revive.

Gu Bai, on the contrary, didn't take Shen Bai's history seriously but felt happy.

He was grateful to have a second chance to live. As a supernatural with wood manipulation, he always dreamed of having a farm to himself. It was the interstellar era. Even if the Zerg invaded occasionally, it was relatively peaceful. Here, he didn't have to worry about the invasion of zombies or whether he could survive until tomorrow. This was a place where he could live freely and easily.

A fringe planet? Difficult survival conditions? Neither of them was as bad as his last life.

Gu Bai had been surviving for nearly ten years and was almost about to forget his life before doomsday. After experiencing how desperate it was when the zombies flooded into the base and annihilated human beings, Gu Bai knew nothing could defeat his will to live right now.

Nothing!!!

Now that a new life awaited him, he was full of hope. As for Shen Bai, he had already died when Gu Bai transmigrated.

But since Gu Bai had occupied Shen Bai's body, he was willing to help fulfill Shen Bai’s last wishes in the future, if possible.

2. Inheriting The Farm;

After two days and nights of sailing, Gu Bai finally landed at his destination on the third day after his transmigration.

Buildings in Starport were small, and the facilities were old. Only a few pedestrians were walking in and out, yellow-colored and gloomy. They didn't look lively but were more like walking dead who had been crippled by life.

The place was much worse than the Central Star, where Shen Bai had come from. No wonder Shen Bai sensed no hope and even killed himself for that. But for Gu Bai, after everything he had suffered in his last life, this place was like heaven.

"Master Bai, I presume?"

An old and hoarse voice sounded. Gu Bai followed the voice and saw an aged man with white hair and beard.

As Gu Bai nodded, the man's eyes were filled with joy as well as tears.

"I'm Gu Qi, Butler Gu of the Gu family, your mother's birth family. Master Bai, I've waited for you for so long." Butler Gu was very excited.

Growing up with Senior Gu, Gu Qi had been serving the Gu family for a hundred years. He had seen how Gu Yuyan grew up before his eyes and then married the wrong man and died young.

The thought of Shen Congye made him pissed. Gu Qi bore all this and didn't go against the scumbag only for the sake of Gu Bai. Otherwise, he would have let him pay for what he had done no matter the cost.

"It's good to see you, Grandpa Gu," Gu Bai greeted politely.

Ever since Gu Yuyan was dead, Shen Bai had never seen anyone from the Gu family. But he had come back with Gu Yuyan many times before, and Bulter Gu had been nice to him.

"I'm so glad to see you become a real man now," Bulter Gu said excitedly, and his tears poured uncontrollably.

He wiped his tears secretly and then pulled Gu Bai to the car smilingly as he opened the car door. "Let's go home."

Home?

The word was foreign to Gu Bai for a long time.

No one had a home in his last life because all they could think of were what to eat and how to survive.

The technology in the interstellar era was very advanced. The spaceships Gu Bai had only seen on TV before were everywhere in the Central Star. As for the fringe planet, since it was one of the poorest planets, the major transportation here was mainly the antique cars eliminated by the Central Star 100 years ago.

However, even the antique cars were intelligent and self-driving, which were more advanced than those on Earth.

On their way home, Butler Qi told Gu Bai about the situation on the fringe planet and the farm.

Many years ago, when doomsday came to Earth, a large number of zombies followed as well. Although humans developed supernatural abilities, they were still too weak and limited to fight against the zombies who wouldn't die or get hurt.

Human scientists began to speed up their research on spaceships, hoping to escape from Earth and find a chance to survive.

Later, humans found other planets that they could live in, and then they moved and started new lives there.

After tens of thousands of years, they had extended their living planets into millions and had only one country in the world, the Cerngon Empire. Also, the ancestors of people here were basically from the Cern on Earth.

However, humans had lost many of the books they had taken from Earth when moving from planet to planet. As a result, various cultural dislocations appeared.

Even in peaceful times, it was still challenging for countless interstellar people to revive Earth culture.

The food culture, especially, was the most serious among them. Ever since humans created the convenient and satiating nutrient fluid, people lost their interest in food gradually.

When the interstellar people once again lit their desire for food and drinks, ordinary people were out of touch with them because the rich and powerful ones had monopolized the remaining planting and cooking methods.

The Gu family had a long history of cooking. The family had cultivated a famous chef a long time ago, so they started their business in the fringe planet from then on. Also, the farm was owned by the Gu family later. But the planting industry was not as bad as it was at present.

However, later on, the nutrient fluid became popular, leaving the chefs no space to live. In the end, the Gu family declined, and the farm was abandoned.

Luckily, Senior Gu, Shen Bai’s grandfather, revived the family through other businesses and made it a member of the upper class of the empire again. In terms of the farm, it was neither used nor abandoned but became the property of the Gu family. People of every generation had tried planting, but they failed to make actual progress.

And now, the farm belonged to Gu Bai.
