Day one after the System activates: “Sign-in successful. Obtained 100 jin of hybrid rice seeds.”
Day two: “Sign-in successful. Obtained one set of basic irrigation blueprints.”
Day three: “Sign-in successful. Obtained one cement formula.”
Other people harvest eighty jin from an acre. He harvests eight hundred.
The neighboring county magistrate is jealous and brings soldiers to seize his grain.

The enemy besieges the city for three months. Inside, the people eat braised pork at every meal, while outside, the enemy troops are so hungry they're chewing tree bark.
The imperial court is enraged and sends an army to punish him.
Chen Yuanshan reads the reward description from his 999th day of sign-in: [One aircraft carrier construction blueprint], and falls into deep thought.

System: “So?”
