Living In Another World With A Farm
Author: Ming Yu
Ongoing · 3.9M Views
Synopsis
If he wanted to boss around, he could do whatever he wanted. I would continue to farm, but if he tried to attack me, then he would not live to see another day. Zhao Hai was a shut-in until he was transmigrated to another world with a farm and taken over the body of a fallen noble. The land that the noble had was one that could not grow anything. He also had a fiance who was the heir to a principality. To make matters even worse, he was talentless in martial arts and magic where he couldn’t even learn both. “So what if I can’t do magic? I have my farm. Let’s see you try and attack me! I’ll let my bugs out to devour all of your military rations! I’ll put pesticides in your water source and grow weeds on your land! Let’s see you try and attack me after that!” “What? You’ll hire assassins to kill me? Try and do that when I’m hiding inside my farmhouse. Once that is over, I’ll rid your country of all your food sources! Your citizens will come after you instead of you coming after me!” The shut-in had a slightly foul personality. This is a story of how he, and his farm, became a nightmare to the people of a world of swords and magic.

His biggest dream was to achieve the Foundation Establishment Realm until he was transmigrated to a cultivation world. “There’s no one here despite how dense the spiritual energy is?” “Wait! Isn’t this the legendary spiritual herb? Are these not extinct here?” “Huh? Is this the method to extract one’s Spiritual Root? Also, isn’t this a divine technique?” “What a powerful cultivator!

The Lord of the World's Gods

A game of becoming a god, a broken divine persona, the longevity that all living beings sought was right before their eyes. Fighting with barbarians in the wilderness, fighting with eagles in the sky, negotiating with mermaids in the deep sea… Dragons, Titans, Frost Giants, Elves, Blood Race, Orcs, Dwarves... Myriad races fought, and planes fought. Epic? When the army conquered this land, their deeds would be epic a hundred years later. Legend? When I established the empire, it would become a legend a thousand years later. Myths? When I ascend to the throne, I will become an immortal legend ten thousand years later.

But his Tong's temper, uh… "Tong Zi, give me a bowl of braised pork rice." Wu Yue's eyes were sparkling. "No." "How about a braised eggplant?" "No, I haven't." "Mantou?" "No, I haven't." "Then what do you have?" Wu Yue took a deep breath. [Nothing.] The system replied coldly. "Then what use do I have for you?" Wu Yue squinted. The system exploded,[I told you I'm a Lifestyle System!] Lifestyle System! You don't even move. You're sitting here asking for food. What do you want to eat!" The system exploded, and Wu Yue cowered… Our slogan is to eat, wear, and live a comfortable life. We'll build a house happily, and we'll happily farm. Yiyi's Beast World is a 1v1, so don't be careless and come in!
