After Being Reborn as a Skeleton, I Made a Fortune Through Farming

A preview of my upcoming novel, Playing a Beautiful, Strong, Tragic NPC in an Infinite Game

This novel will become a paid novel at midnight on Tuesday, December 20. There will be a 10,000-word update that night.

Lin Chaoyu died, but came back to life, only as a different species: a skeleton.

The little skeleton had no brain and had lost its memories. It was silly and only remembered that it needed to farm. It was terribly easy to fool. So said a System that had also lost its memories.

And so a skeleton and a disabled System set off to farm.

The little skeleton, disguised as a human, was sweet and adorable. It stopped people and asked, "Would you like to buy some vegetables? Freshly picked, especially fresh. All it takes is a tiny little price."

After getting paid, the happy little skeleton carried its vegetables to find its next victim.

"I've claimed this mountain, so don't come up here to steal vegetables. If something terrifying happens, the little skeleton can't guarantee anything."

In 2717, spiritual qi revival swept across Blue Star, and countless creatures began rapidly evolving. Plants also mutated and came to contain unknown toxins. Only some could be eaten by humans. Then people discovered a strange little vegetable shop, where every item was more expensive than the last.

Half a jin of bean sprouts: 50 yuan

One jin of potatoes: 200 yuan

"I'd rather jump off this cliff than buy a single vegetable!"

"Actually, this is delicious!"

They discovered that the vegetables sold in the shop could improve their special abilities, and humanity went mad...

The little skeleton's life grew better and better. It no longer had to worry about having nowhere to farm, but some bad people set their sights on its vegetables.

The little skeleton held a snow-white rib and tilted its head at the villains in front of it. "Are you trying to steal the little skeleton's vegetables?"

The villains, beaten black and blue: "QUQ, we'll never do it again."

Relying on its strength, the little skeleton pulled out its own ribs and beat up anyone with bad intentions. But then it ran into a handsome man. "QAQ, that hurts. The little skeleton can't beat you."

The man lowered his eyes and tenderly blew on the little skeleton's hand. "Hit me here. I'll be heartbroken if you hurt yourself."

Advance notice:

Provisional blurb:

Xie Shen was strikingly beautiful, but suffered from chronic illness. He died at just twenty years old. Perhaps fate wasn't done with him, because an Infinite System kidnapped him and made him an NPC in a small world. As long as he earned enough role-play points, he could return to the real world.

Xie Shen smiled, his lips curling with nonchalance. This seemed rather interesting. Even as an NPC with few scenes, he would make himself the protagonist.

In the world of paper dolls, he was a mysterious and reserved NPC who was half-human and half-paper. He was kind to the players, while bearing the weight of everything on his shoulders. The players witnessed his death again and again, yet could do nothing to stop it. The faint, relieved smile on his face before each death became one of their greatest regrets.

In a remote mountain estate where mysterious rituals were held, he was a god awakened by corruption. What he sought was eternal death. Every breath brought him agonizing pain, yet he continued to smile gently.

This was also the only way to clear this instance: the god and his fallen

followers would disappear forever.

The NPC played by Xie Shen became famous among all the players. No matter what they tried, they couldn't stop him from dying. Again and again.

After raking in role-play points, Xie Shen dusted himself off and prepared to enter the next instance. No one could stop him from dying (and earning role-play points).

But for some reason, the players noticed that another strange player had appeared beside their beloved NPC, sticking close to him at all times. Their relationship even seemed ambiguous.

Players: "!!!" I absolutely will not allow this marriage! Prepare to die!

Xie Shen: "."

The mysterious player who stayed close to his beloved: "."
