Stockpiling for the Apocalypse, Traveling, and Opening a Food Stall!

[Your resentment toward your current life has reached 100. Congratulations, you've bound yourself to the Future Stockpiling System!]

Just before he could no longer hold on and quit his job, Gong Fei bound himself to a stockpiling System. All he had to do was submit real-world objects, and the System would break them down and exchange them for new items.

In other words: scavenging to level up.

Gong Fei had long dreamed of quitting his job and taking a road trip. He sold everything he owned, emptied his savings, and even salvaged the appliances from the other apartment residents. At last, he managed to trade them for a beat-up secondhand car.

As he hit the road in his wreck, the System informed him that a flood would arrive in three months.

Gong Fei: ...

What do I do when my road trip turns into an escape?

Gong Fei set off for the highland grasslands, hoarding every piece of salvage he could find along the way like a hamster.

Partway there, he picked up an amnesiac idiot. The guy had lost both his common sense and his memories, but he was strong, hardworking, and had an eight-pack.

He was easy to feed, too. Gong Fei made him an egg sandwich and tricked him into thinking it was a "meat-stuffed flatbread." He gobbled down more than ten and declared it the best thing he'd ever eaten.

With his new helper, Gong Fei's scavenging progress skyrocketed.

The rain grew more and more frequent, but he'd managed to trade up for a camper van and even opened a mobile food stall along the way.

By the time he reached the highland grasslands, he thought, How could this not count as a successful road trip?

He was going to make his original dream come true and open a cafe here.

Floodwaters were raging down below, while Gong Fei's cafe was cozy and warm.

There was plenty of food, and with his scavenged helper pitching in, the ingredients were transformed into delicious dishes. The cats and dogs were practically drooling.

Word of the little shop gradually spread, and people traveled from far away to crowd into his cafe.

Gong Fei: Take your time, no need to rush!

There's plenty of bread and coffee, and there'll be enough for everyone!

And if there isn't... Someone can go scavenge some more trash from the travelers' bus.

Later on, the disasters escalated further.

Gong Fei closed his cafe in the highland grasslands and headed out to sea in his upgraded amphibious vehicle.

Next destination: the North Pole!
