A Note Before We Begin:
How can you write a book without going crazy?
So, I’m going crazy and writing a pure farming novel with no CP, meaning there is no male lead.
Don’t ask. If you ask, the answer is that I’m writing however I please, with absolutely no plan whatsoever!
The female lead farms in another world, saving herself while also saving Blue Star!
The female lead is an I-person. She won’t take the initiative to reveal her identity and will simply farm quietly.
Hungry!
So hungry!
Seven days!
Shen Qingyao had only been able to drink some yellowing water!
The last time she ate was seven days ago!
She had swallowed the last piece of dry, hard tree bark!
She knew she was going to die!
But what could she do?
Global mutations, environmental collapse, and the complete depletion of resources!
The scorching sun baked the earth, rivers and lakes dried up, fertile farmland became barren, and living creatures perished.
The soil of Blue Star could no longer grow even a single plant!
All of human civilization had been trapped in a desperate situation, struggling to survive.
Starving and freezing, her entire body was weak, her consciousness was hazy, and the chill of impending death swept through her entire body. She was only a step away from starving to death!
Just as she reached the brink of death, a cold, mechanical notification suddenly rang out in her mind!
【Wasteland Planet Farming System binding in progress…… Binding successful!】
【Mission issued: The host must travel to the barren planet and develop the wasteland through farming.】
【All produce will be projected into reality with a ten-thousandfold amplification, supplying Blue Star, the homeland on the verge of destruction!】
【Save the world, starting with a single plot of Spirit Field!】
【Do you agree?】
Her desperate will to survive supported the last shred of her strength. A faint glimmer of hope appeared in Shen Qingyao’s eyes, and she gritted her teeth before answering:
“I agree!”
When she woke up, that sensation of impending death was already gone!
Her stomach was still hungry, but it was bearable!
Only then did she realize that she was inside a crude wooden cabin.
“Ding! Welcome to the Wasteland Planet Survival Game!”
“Would you like to enable the livestream? The livestream will be broadcast to viewers worldwide! Private scenes will be automatically blocked!”
“No!”
Shen Qingyao was an I-person, a homebody. There was absolutely no way she would agree to livestream!
Even though she hadn’t fully regained consciousness yet, she made her choice immediately!
The system seemed to pause for a moment before asking again:
“Does the host wish to disclose her name and identity?”
“No!”
“Ding! The host’s external identity information will be hidden. Her name will be changed to ID: 666. Confirm?”
“…Confirm!”
What a lucky number!
“Host detected as having successfully bound the Wasteland Planet Farming System. System integration in progress…… Integration successful!”
“Congratulations, host! You have obtained the Farmer profession!”
“Congratulations, host! You possess Safe Zone privileges! Please claim your territory. Within the territory, the host cannot be attacked! Please make your selection!”
Still somewhat dazed, Shen Qingyao thought she was playing a game. She glanced at the screen before her.
There were three pictures in front of her.
The first showed an island, isolated from the outside world. There were mountains and water on the island, as well as plains. It looked like a paradise untouched by civilization.
Unfortunately, the soil appeared to be covered in pale, salt-alkali earth, making it extremely difficult to grow plants. The entire landscape was barren.
The second picture showed a vast Gobi desert, covered with rocks and pebbles. There was no shelter anywhere around it, and she couldn’t see a trace of water.
At a glance, it was obvious that cultivating the land there would be extremely difficult, with even lower possibilities for growing crops!
Shen Qingyao wasn’t stupid. She had been born and raised in the countryside, and having grown up surrounded by farming, she knew that neither of these two places was suitable for cultivation.
And what she had obtained was a farming system!
So she placed her hopes on the third picture.
The third picture showed a river valley. Like the first picture, there were mountains in the distance, water running through the middle, and plains on both sides. There were many smooth river stones scattered along the banks.
But more importantly, there was a large amount of exposed yellow soil!
Although she couldn’t tell what kind of soil it was, that alone made it better than the first two options!
Thus, she decisively chose the third picture!
She didn’t know that at the very moment she made her choice, all of Blue Star had already erupted into chaos!
It was supposed to be an ordinary day, yet every public screen across Blue Star suddenly switched channels.
The image of a higher civilization spread across the entire planet:
“Dear citizens of Blue Star, we are the Shenjie Civilization, an advanced civilization from the distant universe. We have detected that Blue Star’s resources have been depleted and that the planet is on the verge of extinction!”
“Out of humanitarian concern, the Shenjie Civilization has invited 2,000 humans from Blue Star to participate in the Wasteland Planet Survival Game! The game’s resources may have a chance of being manifested in the real world! The more resources obtained from the wasteland planet, the more resources Blue Star will receive! The list of survivors is now being announced!”
As the names scrolled across the screen, every country eagerly searched through the list for the names of their own people!
Online, heated discussions immediately erupted, while governments around the world sprang into action!
The backgrounds of every publicly identified participant were quickly dug up. Even information such as how old they were when they wet the bed or when they had first gotten a hotel room with someone was exposed in painstaking detail!
Of course, there were plenty of anonymous participants as well, especially among the people of Huaxia, who were particularly fond of keeping a low profile!
Among the 20 representatives from Huaxia, roughly half had chosen to remain anonymous!
So Shen Qingyao blended right in among them without seeming out of place at all!
Those whose identities were made public instantly became celebrities, especially those with high combat capabilities or extensive wilderness survival experience!
But none of this had anything to do with Shen Qingyao.
She had the Wasteland Planet Farming System, so her survival experience on the wasteland planet was destined to be completely different from everyone else’s from the very beginning!
After choosing the third picture, she studied the system for a while before noticing the public channel, where everyone was currently howling in despair.
There was a number 2,000 in the upper-right corner of the screen. Shen Qingyao didn’t understand what it meant at first, but after reading the chat, she realized that it represented the number of survivors.
“Fuck! What kind of place is this? There’s nothing but a crappy wooden cabin!”
“Help! Why am I in the middle of the ocean? There’s only a crappy wooden raft!”
“I can’t do this! I’m on an ice field, and all I have is a pile of campfire wood!”
“Who has it worse than me? I spawned in the middle of a desert, and there’s nothing beside me except one dead tree! Looks like I’ll have to sleep in a tree hollow tonight!”
“By the way, what are the selection criteria for this survival game?”
“Probably ability! I happen to be a wilderness survival expert!”
“Hehehe, I’m an athlete!”
“I’m a biology teacher!”
“I-I’m just a borderline thirst-trap influencer! Can someone please save me?”
Shen Qingyao glanced at her name: Li Li.
It was an extremely ordinary name, clearly not an online alias!
No matter how pitifully she cried, everyone in the channel could do little more than offer a few words of verbal comfort. No one could actually help her. Some people even deliberately teased her.
Shen Qingyao frowned.
Could this woman be from Huaxia?
If they needed to form teams later on, having someone like this who would only hold everyone back could be quite troublesome!
After watching for a long while, Shen Qingyao finally realized something:
She was the only person who had been given the option to choose her territory!
So, was this her cheat ability?
She stood at the entrance of the wooden cabin and carefully examined her territory.
Unlike the current state of Blue Star, her territory still had a few scattered plants growing here and there.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
There were plants! That was good!
It proved that the land could be cultivated!
The river water was crystal clear, and she could see straight to the bottom. Clearly, her water supply problem had also been solved!
That was extremely important in a survival game. She had already gained a huge advantage over the other participants right from the start!
After all, once you get ahead by a single step, you’re often ahead at every step that follows!
She cautiously inspected the wooden cabin and discovered a stone axe inside. This should be the tool provided by the system!
Holding the stone axe, she stepped outside the cabin.
As she breathed in the air, so completely different from that of Blue Star, she knew—
This would be her new beginning!
