After clearing a large-scale open-world zombie apocalypse survival game, Su Lan discovers that he has transmigrated into the game.
The moment he opens his eyes, a zombie is right in his face, ready to kill him.
Su Lan's mind goes blank. Acting on instinct, he raises a hand and strikes back with all his might.
A brick goes flying and hits the zombie square in the head.
Blood-red text appears above the zombie: [Miss]
Su Lan: “...”
Wait, where's my legendary weapon?!
An AAA game has turned into a lifelike virtual world.
The good news: He transmigrated with the game System, and his skills, attributes, inventory, and mods are all still there.
The bad news: Everything is locked. He has to grind it all from scratch.
The max-level lord of a city in the apocalypse has become a level-zero newbie.
Su Lan: “I just have to become a hardcore grinder again. Piece of cake!”
Ignoring NPC warnings, he charges into hordes of zombies with a beginner's dagger. When he dies, he respawns on the spot, gaining thirty levels overnight.
He forces NPCs to start boss fights, battles mutant plants and animals for three hundred rounds, then dismembers and harvests them to craft high-level potions and legendary equipment.
He barges into NPCs' rooms and, without a care in the world, picks the locks on their chests to collect supplies.
Watching Su Lan come back from the dead again and again, the locals are stunned by his many outrageous moves, until they gradually grow numb to them. They are left with only one question:
“Is he even human??”
Su Lan doesn't notice a thing. He dies and reloads, working hard to become a proper hardcore grinder. Along the way, he even finds himself a boyfriend and gathers a group of excessively devoted followers.
The day his supplies are ready, a huge city appears out of nowhere overnight, leaving everyone stunned.
Su Lan pats his boyfriend Fang Xinyan on the shoulder and proudly says, “Welcome to my Ideal City.”
Ideal City takes in wave after wave of refugees, upgrading and expanding time and again. It stands firm through countless zombie sieges.
It has thorn-covered walls that reflect damage, powerful automated artillery, tables of food and ammo crates that refresh on a timer, and clean soil and water that can never be contaminated...
It is the last pure land in the apocalypse, humanity's Garden of Eden.

The day Fang Xinyan meets Su Lan, he is gravely injured and on the verge of death. Su Lan forcibly pours a bottle of unbranded potion down his throat, and the next moment, Fang Xinyan is alive.
Fang Xinyan asks Su Lan what he wants as payment.
Su Lan thinks for a moment. “I used to really want to date you (through a screen), but it didn't work out (because there was no mod). So now you can repay me by giving yourself to me.”
Everyone is dumbstruck.
Fang Xinyan thinks for a few seconds, then agrees. “Sure, boyfriend.”
Premise: Believe in hope, and hope will appear.
