I Want to Get Rich Every Day [Farming]

Shen Song, a first-year college student and earth-element esper in the interstellar era, transmigrates one day into ancient times and becomes a ge'er.

The Shen family in Shengiagou is large and thriving. Shen Dashu has five sons, two daughters, and one ge'er, plus seven grandchildren. The only problem is that his family is desperately poor.

Other families can afford meat once every ten days or half a month. His family can't manage even two meat dishes in a whole year.

Other children can wear patched clothes, but his children's clothes are patches trying to pass for clothes.

The people of Shengiagou don't want to get close to Shen Dashu's family. They think his household has attracted the God of Poverty and brought nothing but bad luck.

Shen Song grew up comfortably and had never suffered material hardship. On the very day he arrived, he had boiled wild greens for dinner and shared one wooden plank bed with five other people. He was so poor he cried.

It was just too poor!

To eat his fill and sleep well, Shen Song decided to follow his grandfather's example from his previous life and build a food business from scratch.

But the food industry in the Zhou Dynasty was several times more developed than back in his interstellar era. There was no room for him to make a name for himself.

Just as he was losing hope, he discovered that his ability still worked. It could make the soil more fertile and the spiritual energy more abundant.

A sudden idea struck Shen Song: if he couldn't make a living in food service, he could supply ingredients to the food industry!

Thanks to the Shen family's tireless efforts, the produce from their farm became the food industry's most sought-after commodity.

The only problem was that they produced too little. You couldn't get any unless you fought for it!

Why is the Shen family so small? Can't they get more people to farm?

Xie Zhiyu has felt like throwing up whenever he eats anything for as long as he can remember. He's never had a proper meal.

Then he bought vegetables from a young ge'er, and when his cook prepared them, he ate every last bite.

It was the first time he'd ever eaten his fill.

After that, the young ge'er brought him vegetables every day.

When Xie Zhiyu recited poetry, the young ge'er listened, entranced, and praised his talent.

When he practiced calligraphy, the young ge'er watched, entranced, and praised his beautiful writing.

When he trained in martial arts, the young ge'er's eyes sparkled as he praised his formidable skills.

Whatever he did, the young ge'er thought he was wonderful.

One day, the young ge'er praised his good looks, and he couldn't resist kissing him.

The young ge'er slapped him and called him a pervert.

Xie Zhiyu pressed his tongue against his cheek. Why had he stopped praising me?

As an alien, Shen Song is curious about everything in the ancient world.

He discovers that his new acquaintance, Xie Zhiyu, can do just about anything.

He can recite poetry, write, fight, dance with a sword, ride and shoot...

Shen Song had only ever read about such things in ancient books on the star network. Now, after transmigrating, he gets to see them all in person.

Enthralled, Shen Song decides to get on good terms with Xie Zhiyu so he can show off even more.

Everything was going smoothly, until Xie Zhiyu suddenly kissed him.

Shen Song knows what happens to young ge'ers like him in this place: they have to bear children.

When a man kisses a ge'er, they have to marry and have children.

Shen Song doesn't want children, so he starts avoiding Xie Zhiyu.

He doesn't manage to evade him for even two days before Xie Zhiyu corners him.

Xie Zhiyu asks fiercely, "Do you hate me too?"

Hearing Xie Zhiyu's trembling voice, Shen Song answers honestly, "Everyone says that if you kiss, you have to get married and have children. I don't want to have children."

Xie Zhiyu freezes, then his heart blooms with joy: He's already thinking about marriage and children. He loves me!

The peacock refers to the seme's clothes and appearance. He's not especially adept at socializing.

-----Coming soon in October or November: "Yuanbao's Life Among the Common Folk"-----

Yuanbao is born into an ancient world and becomes a ge'er who can bear children.

The Yuan family has five members. They get by on Father Yuan's wonton stall and Mother Yuan's laundry work.

The family is so poor that they can barely afford food.

His parents are always frowning, and his older brother and sister are never seen smiling.

When Yuanbao is just a month old, his father puts him in a basket and sets him beside the wonton stall.

Even as a baby, Yuanbao has a round head, round face, and round eyes.

He's just so round and adorable.

His parents need to earn money to buy him goat's milk, and Yuanbao wants to help. He's not going to let his age or his inability to speak stop him.

He beams at passersby with his big, round eyes.

In baby babble, he chirps: Come have a bowl of wontons! (✿◠‿◠ ✿)

Before long, more and more customers crowd around the family's little wonton stall, and business keeps getting better.

At last, Yuanbao gets to drink goat's milk and grows up safe and sound.

When fifteen-year-old Yuanbao falls seriously ill, his family sells their wonton stall to raise the money to snatch him back from the King of Hell.

Father Yuan goes to the docks to carry heavy loads, while Mother Yuan takes on even more laundry.

The eldest Yuan son quits school, and the second daughter says she'll marry to save the family the cost of feeding her.

After returning from the gates of death, Yuanbao's vague memories of his past life grow clear.

Unable to bear seeing his family suffer, he returns to his old trade, making all kinds of pastries and noodles to sell.

Through the whole family's hard work, their little stall grows into a small shop.

Yuanbao and Cheng Junzhu have been childhood friends, growing up together like bamboo horses. Now that they've reached marriageable age, the two families should be discussing their engagement.

They had agreed that after the children's examinations, they would arrange the engagement whether or not Junzhu passed and became a licentiate.

But Junzhu passes the exam and gets engaged to a young ge'er from a wealthy family instead.

Yuanbao crouches beneath the pomegranate tree in the courtyard, his shoulders trembling slightly.

A low voice comes from behind him, hard and awkwardly comforting: "Don't cry. I'll beat him up for you."

Yuanbao stops picking at a pomegranate and looks up. He is so startled by the person before him that he plops right onto the ground.

The pomegranate rolls to a stop in front of a pair of black boots.

Lu Huaiqian, a low-ranking Imperial Guard officer.

His fearsome reputation is well known, and no one dares cross him.

He's also the terrifying devil Yuanbao and Cheng Junzhu have feared since childhood.

Yuanbao stammers, "Hello, Cousin Lu."

Lu Huaiqian frowns. "I'm Cheng Junzhu's cousin."

Yuanbao ventures, "Hello, Officer Lu."

Lu Huaiqian's frown deepens. "I came to your house to ask for your hand in marriage. From now on, call me Dalao."

What? He's asking to marry him?

Yuanbao bursts into tears.

Later, his childhood friend is made to call him sister-in-law by his husband.

Yuanbao nods, a little embarrassed. "Sure, Cousin."

-----Coming soon: "Submitting the Simulated Management System After the Natural Disaster"-----

The Yu Dynasty is hit by a sudden blizzard. The temperature plummets, and countless civilians freeze to death overnight.

The idle heir Yuan Qingming, who usually does nothing but tease cats and dogs, wakes up freezing. He opens his eyes to find himself on an empty street, where a fellow claiming to be a simulated management System tells him to complete tasks.

The pampered young lord tears up his hands, singes his hair with fire, and even burns down a shop. At last, he manages to make a bowl of tomato and egg-drop soup as required. Weeping and pleading with every deity he can think of, he finally sells it and completes the beginner task.

After completing the task, Yuan Qingming rushes straight into the palace, clings to his handsome imperial uncle's leg, and sobs as he shows off his injuries from every angle, insisting that he wants to turn the System over to the throne.

The land lies frozen for a thousand miles, and the Yu Dynasty enters a bitter cold snap.

The fields yield no harvest, the border is under attack, and people resort to eating their own children.

At their moment of despair, the imperial granaries suddenly provide grain and even clothes.

The clothes are a little strange, though. They're called things like down jackets and military greatcoats.

The rice they hand out is all polished white rice, not a bit of mixed grain or brown rice. They say mixed grain and brown rice cost more than white rice, so they can't afford to give it out.

Every so often, they even get something called canned meat. The can is sturdier and more durable than a bowl.

Somehow, life has actually gotten better!

-

In the simulated management world, it is the year 4076, and humans have begun awakening special abilities.

An abandoned ancient cultural street in the Zhongyu Kingdom has suddenly opened for business.

Walk into any food shop, and the chef at the stove is an imperial chef.

Enter a medical hall, and the physician seeing patients is an imperial doctor.

Step into a clothing shop, and the tailor is an imperial embroiderer.

Enter a martial arts school, and the instructor is an imperial guard.

Go into a bookshop, and all the ancient texts on its shelves come from the imperial study.

Hey, whether they're genuine or not, people really get to enjoy the kind of treatment only an emperor could experience.

What's more, the shops on Cultural Street all have different special effects.

The meals can boost physical strength, brainpower, and mental energy!

The medicine at the medical hall can ease the unavoidable side effects of special abilities.

The clothes made at the clothing shop can provide different kinds of defense.

The moves taught at the martial arts school let people attack for five seconds regardless of their ability level!

Word of all these effects spreads from one person to ten, then from ten to a hundred. The once-deserted traditional cultural street becomes a global sensation.

Yuan Qingming asks the System to wake him at midnight sharp.

The System has opened a friend-farm feature, and Yuan Qingming needs to show up on time to steal crops and sell them at the restaurant.

As he's gleefully stealing crops, a voice beside him asks, "Why are you still awake?"

Yuan Qingming looks over.

The person before him has a face like a peach blossom, beauty like jade, and an elegant bearing like a tree in the wind. He's as graceful as an immortal.

Yuan Qingming can't help saying, "Imperial Uncle, you are beautiful."

Yuan Shuo: "What?"

Yuan Qingming comes to his senses. "I said I'm stealing crops."

Yuan Shuo chuckles. "What else?"

Yuan Qingming can't help staring again. "Also, Imperial Uncle really is beautiful!"
