I'll Come Clean: I'm Really Just a Mortal

[System + playing the fool to catch the tiger + invincible hero + lighthearted comedy]

Lin Fan, an overworked corporate drone who died suddenly from exhaustion, was forced by an all-purpose System to spend three hundred years learning trades from all walks of life. When the System finally went dormant, he was dumped in a remote wilderness with a “really high-quality” hoe and told to be a farmer.

He thought his kitchen knife was just good for chopping vegetables, not knowing it was a celestial weapon that could cleave the heavens. He thought his chicks were ordinary chickens and his little fish were koi, not knowing they were phoenix hatchlings and descendants of the Ancestral Dragon. He thought his medical skills, cooking, and calligraphy were just ways to make a living, not knowing a single needle could save a dying cultivator, a bite of fried rice could help someone break through to the next realm, and a few strokes of calligraphy could summon heavenly phenomena.

At his side was a housekeeper artifact spirit holding back laughter so hard it was injuring him. Lin Fan tended his little plot of land and only wanted to be an utterly ordinary farmer. Yet bandits came to steal his vegetables, sects came to ask him to take disciples, demonic cultivators came to mooch meals, and immortals came seeking the Dao…

Lin Fan scratched his head. “Come on, don't mess with me. I'm really just a mortal!”
