Survival Apartments: The Doomsday Instances Are Underway

Su Cheng was bound to the "Survival Apartment System" just before she died.

The good news: She gets to live again.

The bad news: To survive, she must enter one dangerous instance after another.

[Survival Guide for Apartment Residents]

1. The apartment is your only safe house. You don't need to worry about any dangers while inside.

2. Survival isn't free. Residents must pay 1,000 points each month for utilities and rent. Anyone who fails to pay on time will be evicted!

3. There's a dedicated supermarket on the apartment's basement level, where residents can buy all kinds of supplies. But the supermarket only welcomes its members~

4. The elevator is the only way to reach the instances. Be careful to distinguish between the elevators to ordinary instances and special instances! If you get on the wrong elevator, you're on your own.

5. To motivate residents, the apartment holds a competition at the end of every month, with all kinds of great prizes up for grabs~

6. Also, if your body undergoes a curious change, try to adapt to it and accept it. It will greatly improve your chances of surviving the instances!

7. Warning: You only have one life. If you die in an instance, you're really dead. Cherish your life!!!

8. Finally, welcome to your new home~ Good luck!

To get home as soon as possible, Su Cheng threw herself into the instances and worked hard.

"Apocalypse Survival: A Guide to Stocking Your Safe House"

Synopsis

[Congratulations, player, on binding to the Apocalypse Survival System.]

[Current plane: Zombie Nation. A zombie horde is about to arrive. To ensure your safety, please upgrade your safe house as soon as possible!]

Yun Wu died suddenly and was bound to the legendary System, receiving a beginner's safe house.

She looked at the bare, empty shell of a house: no doors, no windows, no paint, and a thatched roof.

Red exclamation marks popped up one after another:

[Warning: Please repair the broken window as soon as possible! Cost: 5 gold coins.]

[Warning: Please repair the broken front door as soon as possible! Cost: 10 gold coins.]

[Warning: Please repair the broken roof as soon as possible! Cost: 5 gold coins.]

[Warning…]

So even a flimsy house with no doors, windows, or paint, where the wind and rain came right in, could be called a safe house?

Just as she was despairing, a pop-up appeared:

[Congratulations, player, on awakening the talent: Trade Old for New!]

[Ding! A high-grade spatial item has been detected. Activation successful!]

Yun Wu: …Is there still hope after all?

[Helpful Tip]

Upgrading your safe house costs gold coins. You can earn gold coins by completing daily commissions.

(Note: Commissions are personal tasks. Your safe house cannot follow you.)

Today's Commission Board:

[The Midnight Bus]

Every midnight, the missing 007 bus suddenly appears at the intersection. But why does it never stop for me?

Client: The girl waiting for the bus.

[White Paper or Red Paper?]

Someone giving away free toilet paper has appeared in the school restroom. They always ask, "Would you like white paper or red paper?" Which should I choose?

Client: Student Xiao Huang.

[The Crooked-Necked Woman]

Every time I close my eyes, I see her. She's getting closer and closer. Who is she?!!!

Client: A patient with severe insomnia

A chill ran down Yun Wu's back. She hurriedly checked her well-stocked inventory space.

The bus won't let you on? Girl, you can rely on yourself better than anyone else. Here's a bicycle! I'd recommend filing a complaint against the bus driver.

Student Xiao Huang, out of toilet paper in the restroom? Here, take ten rolls. That's more than enough, and they're soft and lint-free!

Can't sleep because of the crooked-necked woman? How about a strong sleeping pill? Want a medicated plaster too?

To upgrade her safe house into an impregnable fortress, Yun Wu embarked on the endless road of diligently completing commissions and earning gold coins.

Along the way, she also collected the "trash" that other players and clients didn't want.

Before she knew it, she had become a "legend" among the other players.

Player A: "Got any junk? I know a big shot who specializes in collecting it."

Player B: "I know her too. She's number one on the commission board! I hear the big shot loves picking up trash so much, she has to hug it to fall asleep at night."

Yun Wu: "…"

Theme: The flame of life burns on, unyielding.
