After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 2 Courage is commendable
"Isn't it?"

Jian Ning was stunned for a few seconds.

I glanced at the few sparse green ivy stalks in the mineral water bottle, then at the task progress of 1/10.

that's it?
To verify her suspicions, Jian Ning picked up the empty Coke can from the trash can from the previous night and repeated the action.

Fill the container with water and trim the leaves of the pothos plant.

It has one leaf and two leaves, with a few aerial roots at the bottom.

These leaves are not only beautiful, but they also root faster when placed in water.

After the pothos plant is inserted into the soda can.

The task progress jumped to "[Cultivating Ten Spirit Plants: 2/10]"

This system is mute, and there's no customer service or anything, so it can't answer Jian Ning's questions.

Jian Ning rubbed her chin, thinking for a moment.

Perhaps it's because she's not in the cultivation world?
Therefore, the cultivation system will automatically correct her behavior in accordance with the task.

Simply put, the system has a bug. It's bound to her even though she never actually traveled to the cultivation world, so the tasks she's doing are naturally stuck in the bug.

Yes, that must be the case.

Since that's the case, Jian Ning collected all the unused bottles and jars in her home.

[Progress of cultivating ten spiritual plants: 3/10]

[Progress of cultivating ten spiritual plants: 4/10]

[Progress of cultivating ten spiritual plants: 5/10]

The task progress bar climbed rapidly until it reached the point where it showed "Progress of cultivating ten spiritual plants: 10/10".

It's like when you're playing a game and you've just finished off the last bit of the boss's health bar, and the game is about to be over, but suddenly the screen freezes.

She waited for a long time but there was no response.

What about rewards?
This damn system is playing her for a fool!

Jian Ning was furious and punched it twice.

"Hoo ho!"

It only hit a void; the system text looked more like a holographic image.

The next second, she felt a sharp pain on her head, as if something had hit her.

Jian Ning clutched her forehead in pain, then heard a soft 'thud' as something fell to the ground.

She opened her eyes and looked down. It was a dark brown round pill, like a super-sized version of Liuwei Dihuang Pill.

Jian Ning bent down to pick it up, and looked up to see that the system, which had been lagging for a long time, was finally responding.

[New player quest complete. You have received 1 Tier 1 Fertile Soil and 1 Marrow Cleansing Pill.]

Jian Ning looked at the black pill in her hand; it must be the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

She swore she fell to the ground in no more than three seconds.

The three-second rule.

Just blow off the ash, and it's still edible.

Anyway, it's all dirty, so it won't make you sick.

The way this system distributes rewards is too arbitrary. Isn't it just retaliation for those two punches she threw while bluffing?

As for the fertile soil, Jian Ning looked around the house.

My gaze finally fell on the flower rack on the balcony.

It wasn't that she noticed it with sharp eyes, but rather that the scene was just too bizarre.

"Oh my god, is this really not a mutated sweet potato spirit?"

The hydroponic sweet potatoes, which were originally planted in a transparent glass tank, were growing at a visible speed, with vines climbing the trellis and new leaves constantly unfurling.

Speaking of sweet potatoes, she had seen some online that looked quite nice when others grew them.

As descendants of the Chinese nation, regardless of our profession, we will awaken the soul of farming when we reach a certain age.

Jian Ning was no exception.

She decided to give it a try, and aside from adding some water, she didn't pay much attention to it.

At this moment, the glass tank used for hydroponics no longer contained water; instead, it was filled with a handful of black nutrient soil.

It should be the quest reward, Tier 1 Fertile Soil.

Fortunately, as time went by, the soil fertility was not as strong as it was at the beginning, and the growth rate of sweet potato leaves gradually slowed down.

Otherwise, Jian Ning would really worry that this thing could crawl all over the house. Having witnessed the power of first-tier fertile soil, Jian Ning began to look forward to the Marrow Cleansing Pill in her hand.

She took it with warm water.

The moment I swallowed it, there was no throat-blocking sensation like I had imagined when taking medicine. Instead, it felt like a refreshing and powerful breath was flowing in, bringing a moment of comfort to my whole body.

But soon, Jian Ning's face began to contort.

It felt as if her limbs and bones were being pounded by an inexplicable force; to put it more accurately, she was like a punching bag in a boxing gym.

The intense pain caused her to kneel on the ground, an unbearable agony escaping her throat.

She could vaguely hear the gurgling of blood flowing through her body, and her heart was pounding wildly.

The pain came like waves, then receded.

Repeatedly.

Time seemed to stretch on longer than ever before.

Until Jian Ning smelled an unpleasant stench in the air.

The pain in my body gradually subsided, and black mud was visibly seeping out of my body, which was the source of the intense stench.

Unable to bear it any longer, Jian Ning rushed into the bathroom.

I turned on the hot water and took a thorough scrubbing.

It was an hour later when I came out of the shower.

Jian Ning clearly felt that her body had changed.

To look good on camera, she has been controlling her weight for years; at 167cm tall, she weighs only 88 pounds.

I looked good on camera, but my body became very weak as a result. Coupled with staying up too late, my back and waist ached after just a little movement.

But at that moment, she picked up the barbell from the corner of the wall and easily lifted it ten times.

Things are different now; her body is completely different.

He was filled with power, and his whole being became strong and vigorous.

Although this isn't the cultivation world, and there probably isn't much spiritual energy to cultivate here, Jian Ning is already quite content as long as it improves her health.

A sudden, urgent phone ring interrupted Jian Ning's thoughts.

She glanced at her phone; it was her agent calling.

While she was taking a shower, she received seven or eight missed calls.

Jian Ning answered the phone.

The phone call was immediately followed by a barrage of angry and furious words: "Jian Ning! I'm here for Fashion Week, and I'm only on a plane for a short while. What are you doing online? Gu Yan's status is what you are. You're not only clinging to him, but you've also fabricated chat screenshots to show that you dumped Gu Yan. I think you've really lost your mind."

Jian Ning and Gu Yan's relationship was kept very secret; even her agent was unaware of it.

Jian Ning spoke slowly, "It's not a forgery."

The agent seemed not to hear, saying, "If you ask me, your contract is expiring, so there's no need to renew it. The company is just losing money by keeping you around."

Several seconds passed before the other end seemed to realize what Jian Ning had said.

"What? It wasn't faked? You and Gu Yan were really dating, and you dumped him?"

Jian Ning responded with a faint "Mm".

The agent's expression immediately changed: "Alright, alright, we can't let this wave of hype go to waste. Gu Yan is saying you fabricated the chat screenshots, and his solo fans and CP fans are unusually united in criticizing you. Once the hype reaches unprecedented levels, we'll pull off a comeback. Jian Ning, your good days are coming!"

“No need,” Jian Ning refused. “I think you said something quite good before.”

Agent: "What?"

Jian Ning said, "My contract is expiring, and I'm not renewing it."

"Jian Ning, with this much buzz, let's generate more hype. You could land a leading role. Think it over carefully." The agent couldn't bear to let such a good opportunity slip away.

Jian Ning had thought it through clearly and made up her mind: "Yes, I've made up my mind. I'm going to retire from the entertainment industry and go farming."

After saying that, Jian Ning hung up the phone.

Because the system has issued a new task.

[He ventured into the world of cultivation, bravely rejecting an invitation from the top-tier Entertainment Sect! He successfully joined the Farming Sect, determined to become a disciple of the Spirit Farmer Sect—a truly commendable act of courage.]

[The early bird catches the worm; in the world of cultivation, to become a qualified spiritual farmer disciple in a sect, one needs an even stronger physique. Quest triggered!]

[Mission: Please reach the summit by 5:00 AM.]

[Reward: Beginner Spell "Slightly Applying Clouds and Rain"]
