The side characters in a Dragon Proud Heaven novel rebelled against their dull roles, so the System had to bring Ning Fan in to fill the role of a passerby.
System: I need you to play a bit-part passerby in a Dragon Proud Heaven novel.
Ning Fan thought, That's right up my alley! I've been a passerby my whole life!
She promised she'd hand the big shot a weapon whenever he went to kill someone, and take good care of the Dragon Proud Heaven protagonist!
The System hadn't expected…
When the Dragon Proud Heaven protagonist offered her a toast, she refused to drink! When he served her food, she spun the table around!
Until the Dragon Proud Heaven protagonist bowed his head and said to her, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
System: Host, are you messing with me?
Ning Fan: Whatever! The people are all so devoted to me…
XXX was a beggar too, and at the start, all he had was a bowl!
Store up grain, and only claim the throne later. Even a dung collector can become king!
She was going to be king in one world after another!
System: The Great Zhou suffered a three-year drought. The Dragon Proud Heaven protagonist reached Longquan County, saw refugees feeding on their own children, sighed, and rode away.
Ning Fan: …Keep going! Why'd you stop? What happened next?
System: That's all.
Ning Fan: Wait, you didn't mention me at all! The only line about anyone was…
No way, feeding on their own children? You're talking about me?
Even if I, Ning Fan, starve to death! Even if I jump out of a tree! I will never eat a person!
System: Don't worry, you won't have to eat anyone. You're the child being traded.
Ning Fan: …Why don't you go die somewhere?
System: If you accept the mission, I'll give you a divine artifact space, one rarely seen even in a cultivation world, bound to your soul.
After being talked into going there, she opened her eyes and entered the space,
only to realize she'd been careless! She knew there was no way she'd get something this good!
The space was filled with cracked, drought-stricken earth, fissures everywhere. One wrong step and your whole leg could fall in. Compared with the space's desolation, even the Great Zhou's drought seemed like child's play!
Ning Fan didn't have to think twice to know a divine artifact wouldn't look like this!
This piece of junk had no spiritual energy, let alone a drop of moisture!
Ning Fan: Come on, System, explain this to me. What am I supposed to do with land that's even drier than the outside?
System: Well… You can still store things in it.
Ning Fan looked outside the space. The refugees had dug up even the tree roots! What was there to store?
Since the hard-core power-up route was a dead end, Ning Fan had to figure out how to farm in the space herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't live long enough for the Dragon Proud Heaven protagonist to show up.
And the most important thing for fertile soil was… fertilizer.
Little Ning Fan, with her small arms and legs, often followed the livestock around the village… picking up dung balls.
Whenever she saw a person or an animal, she'd ask, "Are you here to take a dump?"
The village dogs shook their heads whenever they saw Ning Fan. The villagers all sighed, That little fool from the Ning family is playing with poop again!
She quietly tended the land in her space while fleeing the famine along with the whole village.
As the group grew larger and larger…
Ning Fan: Why do I feel like I'm getting further and further from being a passerby…
Warning: Very, very, very slow transmigration.
She only plays with poop as a child in the first world. She won't keep doing it… playing with poop afterward. I swear!!!
The author makes up the rules as she goes. A ridiculously brainless wish-fulfillment story, so don't think too hard about the logic.
I made myself sad writing my last story, so I'm writing this one to clear my head.
Theme: Don't look down on any profession
