[Next up: A plot-driven farming story. Please add it to your collection!]
Lin Yumao had just finished an agricultural research project and was so exhausted that he fell asleep.
When he woke up, he discovered that he had transmigrated to an interstellar beastfolk world!
In this era, agricultural students had a much grander title: “cultivators.”
That was because all the old familiar plants he knew had transformed into the beastfolk’s precious pets!
Lin Yumao: ...This world has finally become something I don’t recognize.
Learning that cultivation was now the most popular profession, Lin Yumao approached it with an open mind, hoping to learn the interstellar methods of planting. Then...
“What are you all doing?”
Interstellar beastfolk suffered terribly from genetic mania.
Only crops could suppress the condition, so every beastfolk treated their plants like pets and cared for them tenderly.
But the methods of cultivation had long since been lost in a catastrophe. No matter how hard the beastfolk tried, their crops still looked as if they could drop dead at any moment.
That is, until a “reckless” cultivator showed up at the research institute.
The little chili plants were growing just fine, but he went snip, snip, snip with his pruning shears and cut off all their tops!
“He cut off our babies’ heads!!! Aaaah!!!”
The cucumber vines were lush and green. Their tops escaped his clutches, but he snapped off every branch lower down!
“Our babies have no legs!! They’re crippled, sob...”
The apple trees reached full bloom, their blossoms swaying in the breeze and stirring everyone’s hearts.
He casually grabbed a broom and whacked the branches, sending flowers cascading to the ground!
“Aaaah, those were all our babies’ tears!!! I’m suing you! I’ll sue you all the way to the Alliance!!”
At first, everyone thought Lin Yumao had gone crazy at such a young age.
Later, the entire interstellar world went crazy over Lin Yumao!
