Synopsis:
In the year 3300, the global cataclysm finally came to an end.
Yu Ke was a laid-back farming specialist. With the monthly allowance she managed to wheedle out of her parents, she lived comfortably even during the cataclysm.
So when she received the wonderful news that the cataclysm was over, she was so excited she nearly cried! At last, the good days had arrived for someone who liked to lie flat. She could pack up and retire, ready to spend the rest of her life relaxing!
She'd already found an easy job at the base's Agriculture Bureau. She planned to farm a little at work each day, then lie flat the moment she got home and enjoy her retirement.
Besides, her fifty-year-old parents were so full of energy they could beat mutated beasts bare-handed. They were always shouting, "What's wrong with being fifty? Fifty is the perfect age to make your mark!"
Yu Ke's wish for her parents to become outstanding people reached its peak.
While lying flat, Yu Ke enthusiastically cheered them on: "Come on, Mom and Dad, keep hustling! I'm twenty, the perfect age to retire and relax!"
After all, she couldn't compare to the old (her parents were still in their prime), or the young (her nephew was full of energy). She was the most useless one in the family.
But things didn't go as she hoped. One day, a mysterious farm System suddenly landed on her head: [Host, begin your farming mission to save the world immediately.]
Yu Ke: ??? Can't I just work quietly at the base?
System: No. You must leave the base, clear land, and farm.
Yu Ke: "You want me to go farm outside? Give me a break!"
System: "If you don't farm, I'll kill you right now!"
Her family: "Go farm! Or we'll cut off your allowance!"
Yu Ke: ...Didn't you say I could retire once the disaster was over?
Even more ridiculous, after she was forced to apply for the largest plot of land outside the base...
On the first day she swung her hoe and began clearing the land, the System suddenly chimed:
[Positive mutation detected: Hope Wheat]
[Properties: Purifies radioactive dust within a radius of 500 meters, improves soil fertility to Grade 2, and produces edible wheat kernels containing pure energy that can be used for planting.]
[Rarity: SSS+]
Yu Ke stared silently at the green wheat seedling stubbornly sprouting from the ashes.
...Well, maybe farming isn't completely out of the question?
But don't expect her to do everything herself. The greatest skill Yu Ke has in life is leaving professional work to professionals.
That very day, she carried the wheat seedling back to the base and immediately handed the System data and the mutated crop sample over to the government.
China after the farm System was handed over:
Other countries: Fighting to the death over a single ration bar.
China: "Are we having spicy mutated rat meat or stewed radioactive mushrooms today?"
Later, foreign spies infiltrated the country to gather intelligence, only to find orderly farmland, factories, and schools, and people whose faces were bright with hope. The spies broke down on the spot and voluntarily surrendered. "Are you still hiring?"
