A Geologist Builds Infrastructure in the Apocalypse

When Ling Fei wakes up, she and countless others have been thrown into a brutal survival game called Endless Purgatory.

Natural disasters rage, monsters roam, and resources are scarce. While other players struggle in panic and fight one another over a piece of bread, Ling Fei calmly crouches down and chips off a piece of volcanic rock.

“Gabbro. High in sulfur, but structurally stable. Suitable for a foundation.”

While everyone else is still at the primitive stage of wooden spears and stone axes, she has already fired pottery, smelted metal, and found a spring. While others sleep rough and go hungry, she leads her followers in building walls and lighting the first flame of civilization.

Her town runs like clockwork, her fields produce reliable harvests, and her rules replace chaos.

Then the game's supreme deity descends in person and issues a cold warning: [Player Ling Fei, stop your geological modification activities. You have seriously disrupted the balance of the game.]

Ling Fei looks up from a pile of blueprints, nudges her nonexistent glasses, and calmly replies:

“Want to talk business? Then publish my paper, ‘A Study of the Unnatural Evolution and Stability of the Geological Structure of the World of Endless Purgatory.’”

This is the hardcore survival legend of a geologist who uses science, reason, and infrastructure to conquer the apocalypse, reshape the world, and ultimately speak with a “god.”
