I Went Viral After Farming on a Farming Variety Show [Insectoid]

After scraping through the apocalypse with the help of a survival game System, Yan Xingshu rewarded himself with a long, deep sleep. But when he opened his eyes again, he had become a nobody male bug taking part in a farming variety show on a garbage planet.

The show was called "farming," but it was really about pulling stunts. In truth, it put lower-class male bugs through one ordeal after another to entertain the masses.

A bunch of weak male bugs would struggle just to survive on a harsh planet teeming with star beasts, let alone thrive. And the contestants on this show were all genuine oddballs:

A sweet, delicate food streamer with a low pain threshold, tricked by his younger brother into coming here to "relax";

A chatterbox money-grubber and nobody who happily signed a contract without reading it, all for a paycheck;

A rebellious young master who ran away from home during his teenage years, a hot-tempered, delusional underground singer who loved drawing attention;

An antisocial daredevil streamer who loved extreme challenges and was addicted to adrenaline;

And even some unemployed guy the production crew had randomly found on the street, who'd tagged along the moment he heard there was money in it?

Yan Xingshu: ...

So I'm the most normal one here?

Fine. Since these five kept calling him "Boss," he might as well take them along to slap the shameless production crew and viewers in the face.

The production crew wanted them to fight over supplies and kill one another?

They worked together, carefully exploring and gathering resources, marking locations, and searching for the best place to settle!

The viewers wanted to watch them run out of food, starve to death, or be poisoned by star beasts?

They researched ways to improve the soil and remove toxins from beast meat, reclaimed wasteland, and grew crops, vegetables, fruits, and flowers rarely seen in the galaxy. They raised delicious star beasts, fished, kept bees, and lived a leisurely life. Then bugs revealed that their farm products could enhance mental power and treat mental disorders!

They had ambitions too big for six bugs to handle on their own?

They took in and trained lower-class bugs of all shapes and sizes, put them to work in a semi-mechanized system, rapidly expanded the farm, and even found a way to help lower-class bugs evolve!

The trending topics on the StarNet, once full of mockery and hate, gradually took a different turn:

"Male Bugs Aren't Afraid of Hard Work" gets half a day of internet access each week.

Yan Xingshu opened the official notice and was shocked. How had they matched him with a female bug while he was offline?

He stared at the electronic marriage certificate with a headache, snapped a photo of his mud-covered feet, half-buried in the soil, and sent it to the partner he'd been married to for six days without ever exchanging a word:

[I'm so obsessed with turning the soil I can't stop. I'm offline six and a half days a week. If that bothers you, I've submitted a divorce application. Do as you wish.]

Unexpectedly, the other party rejected the application a second later and sent back a photo of muddy hands that looked like they were wearing a pair of gloves unless you looked closely:

[I'm so obsessed with planting seeds I can't stop. I'm offline six and a half days a week. I don't mind, and you aren't allowed to mind either. That's that.]

Yan Xingshu almost dropped his hoe. He turned around and met a pair of beautiful eyes trying hard to hide their nervousness.

One day, the military announced that, with the help of the six-bug farming team, it had cracked a major interstellar trafficking case. The news caused an uproar across the StarNet.

Reporters from all over rushed to find a way to L-783 overnight, hoping to land an exclusive interview. But the First Legion, stationed at the border, held them at the transit planet and sent them all back.

"Our legion commander says not to disturb him and his male spouse while they're farming. Not even if you have a good reason."

The reporters: ?

The production crew: ??

The entire StarNet: ???
