A Guide to Taking the Throne at a Failing Tourist Attraction: Farming

Currently serializing: I Transmigrated into a Trash Incineration Plant and Generate Power Every Day [Farming]

Xiang Yu takes over a run-down hot spring resort and the enormous iceberg behind it.

The water here is hotter than a hot pot, the snowy mountains steeper than slides, and a group of employees with missing limbs are waiting for her to support them.

Looking at the deaf Qingluan, mute merfolk, scorpion spirit with a severed tail, and the rest of the employees sent by the System, Xiang Yu asks, “Are there any relatively able-bodied candidates who might actually be useful?”

[System Notification: Congratulations, user, on unlocking the scenic-area management side quest: “Mandated by Heaven, Long May the Dynasty Flourish.”

Able ministers are not born that way. Their worth lies in their cultivation. When your subordinates have yet to demonstrate loyalty and ability, you must personally guide and educate them, nurturing their devotion.]

Xiang Yu, suddenly draped in an imperial yellow robe: ???

What is wrong with you? Who asked for this?

Looking at her hungry employees and the barren valley before her, Xiang Yu grits her teeth and pulls out the golden hoe of an emperor.

Well, since things have come to this, she might as well start farming.

And many hands make light work, so the tourists who come here can pitch in too!

,

“If you’re willing to come here and farm, ”

“Their hot springs are warmer than a down comforter, and their staff are more fun than the people at Disneyland.”

With dreamy smiles, the valley residents introduce the place to new visitors. “First, download the scenic area’s app and claim a plot of land. Keep watering your plants, and you’ll be rewarded with delicious lettuce, pumpkins, and tomatoes!”

Xiang Yu herself thinks running the resort is no easy task.

The main farming quest is urgent and demanding, and the side quests are all over the place. One moment, there’s a battered orca waiting to be rescued; the next, an elderly, frail, and injured circus troupe is looking for work.

Add flour when there’s too much water, add dough when there’s too much flour. The resort is like a big sack, and it just keeps filling up with disabled employees and animals.

When the Disability Federation awards her the title of “Disability-Friendly Employer for People and Animals” and a reporter asks why she has stayed committed to charity and achieved such great success, Xiang Yu says, “I have merely done what I ought to do.”

[Plot-driven, with a broad ensemble cast and lots of tourist POVs. The story itself is better than the blurb.]
