Wait, Who Said Plant-Based Abilities Are Useless?

1 unlock every Monday and Thursday

***

Jiang Ning, formerly a top student in agronomy, transmigrates to an interstellar era. So poor she can barely make ends meet, she prepares to return to her old profession of farming, only to be told that the land here is barren and unsuitable for cultivation.

Jiang Ning was utterly dismayed.

With no other choice, she can only continue working odd jobs to earn money. When she finally awakens an ability, she is once again told it’s the most useless one of all: a plant-based ability.

–

In the eyes of others, a plant-based ability user is a good-for-nothing whose life is basically over.

But Jiang Ning’s eyes lit up. A plant-based ability is great!

It’s stable, profitable, and doesn’t require the arduous task of killing mutated beasts.

It couldn’t be more perfect.

For instance, she can casually summon a sunflower, list it on the StarNet, and instantly launch a zero-cost startup.

Within days, her plants are sold out, with a constant stream of people waiting at her shop, begging for new stock.

–

Recently, however, Jiang Ning has been a little troubled. The plants she summons are unstable; most possess a certain degree of aggression and cannot be sold to customers.

Coincidentally, Semir Academy has just established a Plant-Based Abilities major this year. Having earned a small fortune, Jiang Ning decides to enroll to find out why.

Having found the right major, Jiang Ning’s plant-based ability levels up a notch, and she decides to demonstrate it in a practical application.

–

And so, during a certain live-streamed freshman competition, the audience sees that this year’s new students are all top-tier powerhouses—exceptionally talented, with outstanding psychic energy.

[AA is so fast! For agility, you really have to look to the spatial ability users!]

[FF’s Fireball technique has maxed-out combat power! Elemental abilities are the tried-and-true classic.]

The camera pans to Jiang Ning as she takes the stage, and immediately, viewers start to complain.

[Are they insane? A plant-based user dares to enter this competition?!]

–

Then, when the official match begins, Jiang Ning calmly takes out a pot containing a delicate, vibrant purple flower. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the small flower grows to two meters tall, opens a blood-red maw, and bites off the head of the opposing mutated beast in a single chomp.

The audience was stunned:

Wait, what the hell is a plant-based ability?!
