So what do you want?”He pulled her into his arms, didn't want anything, just wanted her to be his little princess...(Even in this world full of charms, I only have eyes for you.)

A game descended upon reality. A dimensional gate opened.

Beasts from the dungeon stared out intently. The human world was in danger.

Fortunately, the whole world awakened to new powers. During their coming-of-age ceremony, everyone had the chance of obtaining new jobs and abilities, such as Knight, Mage and Archer.

Those who awakened battle job classes would become heroes.

Those who awakened other job classes would serve in logistics or become cannon fodder.

Lin Sen awakened the Farmer job class, which was acknowledged as the weakest job class. Aside from harvesting crops and caring for flowers, he would rear cattle and sheep.

Fortunately, he awakened the God-tier Farm System.

Lin Sen decided to plant crops on his own!

On the first day of planting crops, he obtained the seed of the ancient Tree of Life.

Then, he obtained the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, God Binding Vines, Corpse Stench Demonic Vine…Various god-tier plants appeared and shocked the world.

Other people exclaimed, “What job class is this? He can actually clear the final dungeon solo!”

Lin Sen claimed, “I am just an ordinary farmer.”
