(Sorry, everyone. I really couldn't think of anything for the bonus extra chapter, and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.)
Zhou Yun was a once-in-a-century supreme wood spirit root cultivator. While undergoing his tribulation, the neighboring sect happened to be holding a group outing for its water spirit root cultivators. Lightning plus water, and he was struck out of existence.
Zhou Yun, who had failed his tribulation: ...Thank you so much.
When Zhou Yun opened his eyes, he discovered that he wasn't dead. He had arrived in a strange world and become the fool Yun Yun everyone talked about.
There was no cultivation or sects here. Everyone was mortal. But his spirit root was still intact, and it turned out to be useful for farming.

Liantang Village was a place abandoned by the times. Most of its young people had gone away to find work, leaving only the elderly and children behind. Foolish Yun Yun had no family, and he had survived thanks to the care of his neighbors.
When everyone realized Zhou Yun wasn't a fool anymore, they were all happy for him and even found him an easy job.
Zhou Yun hadn't gotten used to life here yet, so he didn't refuse. But once he started working, he found out what it meant to live in misery.
After finally getting used to this soul-crushing job, Zhou Yun came home from work one day and stared at the box in a child's hands. It was called a phone, and he thought it was fascinating.
Zhou Yun got one for himself, too.
Then this once-in-a-century genius clutched his phone and didn't put it down for three days.
Zhou Yun was completely engrossed in the videos on his phone, but soon he realized he couldn't scroll anymore.
The village kids told him it was because he hadn't paid his phone bill. He had to pay up if he wanted to keep using it.
How awful!
Zhou Yun hadn't gotten his paycheck yet, so in order to use his phone (crossed out) survive, he had no choice but to return to his old line of work.
And so Zhou Yun started casually putting his abilities to use.
The little bok choy seeds he scattered grew into a thick patch of big, sweet vegetables.
His eggplants yielded an astonishingly abundant harvest. His cucumber vines were so laden with fruit that there was no way he could eat them all. Even the difficult-to-grow cherries produced countless sweet fruits with thick skins and tiny pits under the care of his helpers.
Zhou Yun casually took a video of the vegetables he had grown and posted it on a short-video app. The internet erupted.
Look at those cabbages! Those eggplants! Those cucumbers! They looked so fresh and tempting, but why was the yield so high, too?!
The video went viral, and countless netizens commented, begging for seeds and asking him to teach them how to farm.
But the farming influencer they followed only posted sporadically, with no new videos in sight.
The reason was that Zhou Yun's phone bill was overdue again, so he'd gone to the city to sell vegetables and make money.
From then on, Xiwushi City had a casual vegetable hawker. At first, nobody thought much of him, until one lucky person bought his vegetables and went home to make vinegar-braised cabbage.
The cabbage was tangy, spicy, crisp, and refreshing. Every bite gave you +1 inspiration, and by the time you finished eating, inspiration would come pouring out of you, solving a problem that had puzzled you for ages.
Tiger-skin peppers cleared your mind, and tomatoes tossed with sugar boosted your stamina...
What kind of magical vegetable stall is this? Please open a shop!!!
One day, a vegetable fan who had searched high and low without success came across Zhou Yun's short video online...
* There are adorable pets. They won't become spirits, they're just very smart~
* A pastoral farming-and-food story. The pacing may be a little slow~
* The love interest stays in the background at first. The romance comes later~
Theme: Work hard to change your life and create a better future
Corn silk comes from traditional Chinese medicine. Judging from the fact that the vegetables grown by the protagonist have special effects, the medicinal properties of corn silk should also be expanded. It would be a pity to lose it.
"Winter Melon Gu Hot Pot" caught the author a big bug~ Winter melon cup, the word above is "", not "worm"
The previous chapter said it would end in a few chapters, but it ended in just one chapter, which was unexpected.
Is it Wen or Yang? Isn't it really Yang?
