Surviving by Drawing Cards After Stranding in the Uninhabited Zone

[Main story complete. Next up: Target: Max-Level Farm! Thanks to a friend for generously providing the character card for Zha Jiang Mian (=^-3-^=)]

What's it like to open your eyes and find yourself surrounded by endless yellow sand?

Thanks for asking. I'm in the desert, doing my best to survive.

Staring at all the different monsters in front of him, Tang Xin falls silent.

What is that bouncy, jelly-like thing that looks like a slime?

And what's that salted fish with human limbs, dancing around?

And what's that Zha Jiang Mian floating in the sky, going berserk because it lost its chopsticks?!!

Is he really supposed to survive in this kind of place?

What does he have going for him? A combat rating of five? Or his pointy head?

Looking at his card-drawing talent, he decides he might still be salvageable.

He just didn't expect the farming skills he got from drawing cards to turn a barren planet covered entirely in desert into a lush, green world.

One day, Tang Xin unlocks a new feature called the Forum. Looking at the pile of highlighted posts, he can't help wondering who they're talking about.

# Is the guy ranked first in restoration progress cheating?

# We're all trying to survive, so why is their completion rate the highest!

# Who exactly is this big shot called "Tang Xin"? What makes him so special?!

Tang Xin: ??? They're talking about me?

He starts thinking back over what he's done. He seems to have just fought monsters and grown crops. Nothing else.

As for cheating...

Tang Xin's gaze drifts toward the little octopus roasting takoyaki for him. Noticing his gaze, it seems to misunderstand what he wants.

Little Octopus: Shoo~ (Here, have some.)

...That must be his biggest golden finger.

Reader's guide:

1. This story focuses on surviving in the desert and improving the environment.

2. The golden finger is huge. An ordinary person wouldn't stand a chance in a desert wasteland otherwise.

3. The protagonist survives alone at first. Other players appear later, shifting the story from single-player to semi-multiplayer.

4. No visiting other players. There is a forum, a System trading feature, and chat channels.

5. The CP won't be split up or reversed. Don't insult the top or bottom, and don't argue. If this isn't what you're looking for, feel free to stop reading (bows repeatedly.jpg).

6. The protagonist's timeline is still in the 21st century, just on another planet. He'll return home in the ending.

7. I write to bring people joy. If my story doesn't make you happy, don't force yourself to read it. I'm not ambitious; I just want to write a brainless sweet story (runs around with arms over head.jpg).

8. This is a slow-paced, healing farming story, not a fast-paced power fantasy. If it's not your thing, enter with caution.

9. There are unreasonable author-invented settings. If anything seems unreasonable, please repeat three times: "That's the author's invented setting!"

Choosing between these two next novels: Other People Level Up, I Farm and Target: Max-Level Farm! Whichever has more saves when this one is finished will be written first.

A delicious completed novel:
