New book! A seasoned bookworm, please give this a review. The protagonist embarks on a cycle of saving the world, presented through a game invasion. A fast-paced, suspenseful read.

We'll see how the story unfolds later; hopefully she doesn't live too long, otherwise it'll be a disaster. But this is one of the better ones in Tomato's bookography.

[Behind the Scenes + System + Invincible + Defending the Country] After the college entrance exam, Hao Yun was bound to a system. For every temporary job he actually took, he gained the highest temporary privileges in that industry. The key was that he had to actually take the job. He had to recruit, register, clock in, and work. Even if the pay was only eighty yuan a day, even if the job was just moving boxes, issuing number tags, patrolling dikes, or sorting packages, he had to do it honestly. Thus began a strange summer vacation. Southern China was hit by torrential rains, threatening urban flooding. Hao Yun sat in the reservoir's duty room, coordinating upstream reservoirs, urban pumping stations, and underground pipe networks, forcefully pushing the flood peak back below the warning line. Along the coast, strong convection and erratic tornado paths occurred. Hao Yun, holding a weather balloon, took over weather radar and emergency broadcasts, allowing for the early evacuation of dangerous areas. An earthquake struck the mountains, disrupting communications. Hao Yun stood at the entrance of a business hall issuing numbers, yet managed to reactivate drone relays, satellite phones, and mobile base stations in the disaster area. He didn't attend press conferences or give interviews. Because the system's third restriction was: he couldn't actively expose himself. Once exposed, his privileges would be frozen for seven days. So Hao Yun always stayed behind the scenes, always wore a temporary worker's badge, always looked like an ordinary summer job. A classmate asked him, "What did you do this summer?" Hao Yun thought for a moment. "Nothing much." "Just filled up several jobs." 31
