Turbulent Times and Famine: I Strike It Rich with a System That Trades Junk for New Goods

[A Postapocalyptic Supply Manager Reincarnates in a Chaotic Age. Scavenging Can Make You Rich!]

Ning Qinghe, a supply manager who fought for ten years in the postapocalyptic world, was caught in a zombie horde. Desperate to survive, she shouted for the System to take her into her pocket dimension. But when she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into a war-torn borderland and become a seventeen-year-old girl cruelly abandoned by her own parents.

She lay inside a dilapidated temple, fighting the weakness of her near-death state as she roared in her mind, "I told you to take me into the pocket dimension. Did you seriously mistake me for scrap to be recycled?" [The Junk System is online: This System specializes in trading in junk. Anything and everything can be refurbished!] Ning Qinghe: "Well, look at that. The recycling feature picked exactly the right person, didn't it? This is right up my alley, but not like this!"

Trade broken eggshells for fresh eggs, dead branches and ashes for firewood, and replace rotten tables, chairs, doors, and windows with new ones. Once she earns enough points, the System upgrades and unlocks danger detection. At level three, it unlocks construction-material recycling. Using whatever she can find on the spot, she turns the collapsed, abandoned temple into a one-of-a-kind roadside inn in the borderlands. The inn comes with its own barrier: anyone who dares draw a blade to rob someone inside is immediately bound by an invisible force. The bandits are forced to stand there as everyone in the inn stares at them, humiliated on the spot and becoming a hilarious story that spreads along the trade routes.

The inn is a jumble of all sorts, constantly visited by routed soldiers, spies, and merchants. Ning Qinghe often rants in her head with her chatterbox System about the bizarre guests who come through. When the parents who abandoned her years ago hear that the inn is thriving, they try to exploit their family ties to get something for nothing.

Smoke from signal fires shrouds the borderlands, and every faction is watching the inn that can turn decay into wonder. Having seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Ning Qinghe isn't the least bit intimidated. The barrier will deal with bandits, and she will take on bloodsucking relatives head-on.

A postapocalyptic powerhouse lands in ancient times and builds a career by scavenging, turning the tables with a whole lot of fun.
