The story begins in the near future. The protagonist, Lin Minghui, is an ordinary young man struggling to survive so he can pay for treatment for his younger sister, who has a terminal illness. Just as he despairs after being callously laid off by his company, a bizarre global meteor shower brings an unknown energy known as “turbid qi,” causing plants and animals to mutate wildly and plunging civilization into chaos. In this desperate situation, Lin Minghui unexpectedly binds himself to the 【Mother Seed of All Things System】 and gains the ability to cultivate all kinds of miraculous plants.
From the start, he grows healing strawberries to stabilize his sister's condition. He makes his first impression with short videos, attracting the greedy attention and threats of Zhou Qiming, the owner of Qiming Biotech.

After witnessing his abilities, they invite him to cooperate at the “Dawn One” base.
At the base, Lin Minghui uses healing strawberries to save soldiers infected by turbid qi, proving his irreplaceable strategic value. Using resources provided by the authorities, he obtains samples of mutated creatures under the pretext of research, providing “experience” to upgrade the System. He goes on to develop Clear Spring Grass, which purifies water, and Rock Moss, which reinforces buildings, greatly improving the base's ability to survive and defend itself and establishing his central position there.
