Song Zhi's graduate thesis project was stolen by an undergraduate junior, and she was so furious about having to delay graduation that she died in her dorm.
When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to the world of cultivation and become the senior sister of a bottom-tier sect. The entire sect had only five people, and they spent every day farming to earn money for food.
Song Zhi: I was farming before I transmigrated, and I'm still farming after. I can't take this anymore.
The difference was that this time, her transmigration came with a golden finger.
The System told her that she had a neighbor named Crazy Dave, who would provide her with an endless supply of seeds for her to plant and put to use. But that wasn't the important part. The important part was that the System told her she had an unpaid, tireless employee named Snail, a creature practically powered by nuclear energy.
Song Zhi: ? Great!

The farm, called Zen Garden, was filled with all kinds of plants, and they all became Song Zhi's weapons.
Facing a cultivator flying on a sword,
Song Zhi: "You just lifted both feet off the ground, didn't you?"
She planted a Threepeater, and the cultivator was instantly blown away, vanishing without a trace.
Facing a body cultivator with an indestructible physique,
Song Zhi: "You tried to get past my defenses and attack me?"
She planted a Tall-nut. The cultivator: I can't get over it. I really can't get over it.
Facing a rampaging magical beast, Song Zhi waved her hand, and a Chomper stepped forward.
No matter how strong or huge they were, it ate them in one bite.
Song Zhi: Don't ask. That's how the code (Heaven's Way) is written.
Evil spirits causing trouble, magical beasts running amok, and all kinds of chaos.
Song Zhi sneered. Potato Mines, Cherry Bombs, Jalapenos...
There were all sorts of ways to die. Take your pick.

The top genius of Zhongzhou had an unspeakable problem.
Every night, he was dragged into a mysterious realm. A faceless woman sat high above him, forcing him to compost, loosen the soil, sow seeds, and water the plants...
Whenever he grew tired and stopped to rest, she fed him something called "chocolate," then made him work day and night all over again.
Lin Li ground his teeth in hatred: One day, he would find the woman behind this and make her pay.
Overthrowing the landlord was everyone's duty.
Then came the day of the Zhongzhou Grand Tournament, where all the schools competed.
A woman in white leaped into the fray and claimed first place with her uncanny plants, earning a reputation as the greatest of all time.
Lin Li glared furiously: I planted those! I picked those! Every one of them was raised with buckets and buckets of manure I hauled!
So it was you!
