The Unknowable Farm

Over the past two years, Earth's extreme weather has grown more severe, badly affecting crops around the world.

Jiang Lan, a graduate of an agricultural college, takes over a farm left to her by a relative. She decides to grow the super seeds developed in her school's lab, seeds capable of withstanding extreme weather.

The plan goes smoothly, but strange things keep happening all over the farm:

The chicken coop, full of chicks, is often filled with shrieks.

The stable, home to just one little donkey, often echoes with groans of pain.

There are no pests on the farm, even without pesticides, but the few ears of corn look fine on the outside. Peel back the leaves, though, and someone has gouged the kernels into a pitted mess.

The yard is clean when she goes to bed, but by the next morning, all sorts of oddly shaped stones have appeared.

The plants and animals here grow dozens of times faster than those outside, and their yields have multiplied several times over...

An Old One resting in the abyss awakens from its slumber and discovers that nine out of ten of its followers are gone, and its offerings have changed from flesh and blood to all kinds of weeds.

It sends out an avatar to investigate, only to have its tentacles chopped off before it even sees who did it.

The next day, a stunning naked man with long hair reaching his ankles knocks on Jiang Lan's door. In halting Mandarin, he asks one word at a time, "Was it you who cut off my avatar and stole my followers?"

Jiang Lan glances at the tentacle just sliced up on the chopping board and falls silent.

She feels like her roommate, who studies marine life, lied to her. They said this was an edible species, didn't they?

Note:

1. A natural-disaster apocalypse, with a focus on farming.

2. The author has four completed novels, so updates are reliable.

3. Find a typo and get a red packet.

4. More to come if I think of anything.

Pre-release: Interstellar Farming on a Survival Variety Show

After a car accident, Jiang He transmigrates to the Interstellar era and becomes an undocumented resident of a trash planet.

It's bad enough that she can't get enough to eat or keep warm, but her home is in a landfill, and she has to dodge city inspectors at every turn, blending in with the garbage.

To obtain citizenship, Jiang He signs up for a survival variety show on the Star Network, where the death rate is as high as eighty percent.

While the others explore, she sharpens her knife. While they hunt, she chops down trees...

The audience in the livestream chat mocks her with cold words: Is she here to survive or just to have fun? What good is being pretty? She's definitely the first one to die!

But a heavy rain that night throws the other contestants' plans into disarray. They run around looking for shelter, soaked to the skin.

Meanwhile, Jiang He is already cozily settled in the shelter she built, which she's even lined with soft leaves.

The viewers in the livestream chat stare in disbelief. When did she build that shelter? And where did all that food come from?

After the survival show ends, a reporter interviews Jiang He, the most popular contestant and the survival MVP.

She just shrugs. "I wasn't here to make money. I only wanted to survive to the end and get Federation citizenship. Who knew I'd somehow come in first?"

All she really did was fence off some land, plant whatever she could, raise whatever she could, and outlast the other contestants!
