In a world overrun by killer plants and poisoned soil, humanity is barely holding on. Enter Xu Jianyu, a guilt-ridden ex-agricultural scientist who just wants to mind his business in the apocalypse. But when a sassy, morally questionable system called Eden's Core shoves a glowing seed in his hands and says, “Congrats, you’re the chosen farmer now!”—his quiet days are officially over.

The quest? Grow magical crops, heal the land, and save humanity from total annihilation. No pressure, right? Oh, and there’s a catch: fail the system's tasks, and it’ll slap him with killer migraines, nausea, or worse. Yikes.

Enter Liu Zhenfeng, a hot, grumpy ex-mercenary with a deadly rep and zero patience for soft-spoken plant nerds. He’s got one job: keep Xu Jianyu alive long enough to grow his fancy farm and not die. Easy...

As the Black Bloom monsters get smarter and the Queen Bloom closes in, Xu Jianyu and Liu Zhenfeng find themselves fighting side by side. But when Eden drops its ultimate plot twist—things get way more complicated than “water your crops and don’t die.”

Apocalypse Farm System (BL)

That night, they finally ate something different. Chengxin had learned how to make chips out of potatoes and turnips.

He sliced the potatoes and turnips paper-thin and laid them out on a hot stone near the campfire until the pieces dried and turned crisp, much like the potato chips they used to find in convenience stores.

Jianyu felt like all the exhaustion from his day had been completely worth it, just to eat something other than mashed turnips, roasted turnips, or soup.

Worn out from the day, Jianyu rose from his seat and went to the small pool in his garden to wash himself for a bit.

The cool night air nipped at Jianyu's skin as he slipped into the small garden pool behind the camp. The torch light made the water shimmer, casting soft ripples on the pool edges. With a tired sigh, he sank lower, the water washing away the day's grime and fatigue.
