An Eighties Supporting Actress Awakens: From the Start, I Hand Over My Spirit Fields to the State

[Building a Strong Nation in a Bygone Era] [Spirit-Farm Technology] [Turning the Tables on the Original Lead] [The Female Lead Succeeds on Her Own]

Lin Xiaoman, who lived in the compound of a machinery factory, suddenly had a nightmare:

She was the ill-fated foil in a period novel. Her cousin went to the countryside and gained a spirit-farm dimension. After returning to the city, she set up a family workshop and became a trailblazing private entrepreneur by selling vegetables grown with spirit spring water, while Lin Xiaoman's whole family died in the line of duty and were forgotten.

As Lin Xiaoman awoke, the System alerted her that her cousin was planning to dig up an ancestral jade pendant from the family graveyard in the hills and claim it as her own.

Lin Xiaoman grabbed a shovel and rushed there first. She dug up the pendant and immediately bound herself to the [Great Nation's Rise Sign-In System].

She had assumed she would follow the usual playbook, farm selfishly, and build her fortune. But the System's first prompt read:

[The spirit farm contains plant gene mutation energy that is generations ahead of its time. An industrialized path to strengthening the nation is recommended!]

Build a fortune for herself? How much could a basket of cabbages earn? Lin Xiaoman gave a cold laugh, packed samples of the spirit-farm soil and spirit spring water into sterile glass bottles, and rushed through the doors of the military district's Seventh Classified Research Institute!

"Report, sir! I've discovered a miraculous substance that can multiply crop yields tenfold and triple the hardness of fighter-jet alloys!"

While her cousin was still dreaming of selling vegetables at a street stall and becoming a millionaire, Lin Xiaoman was being escorted in and out of the nation's top research institute by a fully armed guard company.

Leading academicians worked at her side, and she could draw on national strategic resources at will.

A mere foil? Sorry, I received the nation's highest science and technology merit award!
