A Farming Tycoon in a Peaceful Mountain Village

Li Ergou, who refuses to work for anyone else, gets by on a few acres of land in his village, spending his days enjoying a laid-back country life with his wife, walking the dog and feeding the chickens.

Then one day, the village committee decided to lease the land to a tea merchant as part of its poverty-relief efforts. With no way to farm anymore, Li Ergou was at a loss.

Ding! Host, you are now bound to the Rural Farming System.

"Orange trees detected. Yield increased tenfold!"

"Wild mushrooms detected. Yield increased twentyfold!"

"Five-colored chickens detected. Egg production increased thirtyfold!"

By planting fruit trees, opening a farm, and building roads, Li Ergou gradually leads the villagers out of hardship and into prosperity.

"If I can lift myself out of poverty, I'll never burden the country."
