The System Has Issues

Lin Yuan is reborn in 1999, wanting only to lie flat and be an ordinary farmer. But he gets bound to a system, and this system has issues. The first task: make three thousand chickens at the neighboring farm die overnight. The second task: make his own ten acres of good farmland yield nothing. The third task: empty the village's most expensive fish pond. Even killing someone and destroying their heart wouldn't be this cruel. Lin Yuan can't bear to harm his fellow villagers, so he plays word games with the system. For the chickens to die? He feeds them stimulant feed, planning to make them restless all night, hoping Old Wang will think it's a plague and deal with them himself. For the farmland to yield nothing? He changes the crops to ornamental flowers, thinking planting flowers can't count as grain. For emptying the fish pond? He holds a fishing festival. Then things completely spiral out of control. The chickens dance a tap dance all night, the video goes viral, and Old Wang makes a fortune off the 'internet-famous chickens'. The flower fields attract tourists, and the county directly designates it a rural tourism demonstration site. The fishing festival draws huge crowds, with ticket revenue far exceeding fish sales. The whole village treats him like a money god, and only Lin Yuan rages helplessly at the system. 'I really just wanted to cause destruction!' — Description from novelcodex.org
