《The Software Detective》6. Finally, someone with some real answers
Advertisement
With two weeks' worth of groceries, it was time to leave. Prepping my body for the inevitable mad dash to my car, I did some stretches in the soup aisle. I heard hippos could run fast, but they didn't have ankles, so I just need to run in zig-zags if they tried to chase me. I wasn't going to let a cramp lead me to my demise. Feeling loose, I went to the cashier check-out line. As the cashier scanned my items, I took one last chance to get some answers and asked. "Hey, you see those hippos, right?"
"Oh, you mean those?" The cashier said pointing to the Hippos outside " Yeah, they've been there for two months now."Relief washed over me. I really wasn't going crazy.
"Where did they come from? Are they dangerous? Do they like turkey?" I said.
"They probably don't like turkey, but I can't confirm or deny. Anyway, I wasn't here when they came, but I heard one day, two random trucks unloaded them from their truck beds, then they just drove off. At first, people were kinda cautious and worried they were going to attack, but they've been harmless. So everybody stopped caring.

Museum of Deadly Beasts
Lin Jin never imagined he would ever transmigrate. And to such a peculiar world at that. Here, deadly beasts were regarded as sacred, and thankfully, he owned a museum for deadly beasts. “Master, this is just a dying little tortoise…” “What tortoise? This is a rare species that contains the blood of a Black Tortoise and could be promoted up to level seven.” “What about this shedding mongrel?” “Mongrel? How narrow-minded. This is a branch descendant of the snarling hound with a hint of Kirin’s blood. Take my word for it and sign the blood contract at once. I guarantee you that you’ll soar to success and be on your path to invincibility!”

Magriculture (Rewrite)
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is a rewrite of the original "Magriculture", which some of you may have read. (To those who did, you have my deepest gratitude, it is absolutely because of your patronage and comments that this rewrite happened, and I feel the story is better for it.) That said, this story is not a complete and polished work, there will be mistakes and errors, an occasionally these errors may mean I need to rewrite portions of the story (as of this posting the story has gone through two major rewrites already, and I'm seriously hoping there won't be need of a third.) Because of this, there may at times be changes. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will. Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If you're looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.
