Ren Yin opens her eyes and finds herself inside the apocalypse game she just downloaded.
The landscape is varied: some places swarm with zombies, some are overrun by viruses, and others are ravaged by one natural disaster after another.
Fortunately, Ren Yin still has her player status and game interface, which let her struggle to survive in the apocalypse.
She lands in a pile of zombies from the start, and her six-yuan starter pack is the only thing that saves her life.
Luckily, Ren Yin spent six yuan on a [mystery box] in the last second before transmigrating. In the last second before the zombies grabbed her shoulder, she pulled a [5-square-meter safe house] out of the box.
Ren Yin stares at the zombies from inside the protective barrier.
Mystery boxes are great, mystery boxes are wonderful, mystery boxes are the world's greatest treasure!
The mystery boxes can contain all sorts of things:
Clean water, filling steamed buns, sharp spears, protective masks... Anything you can imagine might be inside. There are also some unusual items.
A hungry baby bird that can't do anything but cause trouble; an incubus potion that makes zombies swarm and attack you when they see you; a machine gun with unlimited ammo, for a massive sense of security; talented NPCs who faithfully carry out their master's orders...
Opening mystery boxes takes lots of items in exchange. The more times you open one, the more experience you earn, allowing you to upgrade your game interface and gain more attribute points.
Ren Yin doesn't have much to trade, but the locals do! Come on, trade your items for a chance to open a mystery box!
A night light switches on in the safe house, and the mystery-box shop officially opens for business.
People with nowhere else to turn, people chased by zombies, people so sick they're about to pass out, people missing limbs... Their numb eyes look ahead, and a figure always appears before them, smiling at them.
"Want to take a gamble? Give me what you have, and trade it for a chance to change your fate."
Those who later survived thanks to the mystery boxes described Ren Yin this way:
"Do you know you sound like a scammer, shopkeeper?"
Ren Yin says, as long as it works, who cares what her image is like?
From a small shop to a mobile stall, she gradually grows her business into a large villa and a two-story shop. She also unlocks game missions and sets off to explore far and wide.
Before she knows it, Ren Yin has traveled through the zombie world, the extreme cold and heat of hell, and the virus lair... Wherever she goes, the zombies mysteriously dwindle, temperatures suddenly stabilize, and viruses are brought under effective control.
Hope and fate are both in Ren Yin's hands.
