Xie Zhao, a cash-strapped college student, gets a post-apocalyptic survival System and spends all her savings stockpiling supplies in preparation for the end of the world.
But the apocalypse never comes.
Instead, she inexplicably unlocks a survival game and becomes an unofficial player, "struggling to survive" in the modern world.
Draw talents, trade supplies, upgrade shelters, expand territory, recruit residents.
Survival Game: Become the greatest lord of the apocalypse!
Xie Zhao: = =
Um, you do know that land reform happened in New China, right?
She never wanted to deal with this ridiculous thing again, but the rewards it offered were just too good.
[System Reward]: Congratulations on completing the quest. You received 3 attribute points and 1 [Plant Evolution] skill card!
[Lady Luck Arrives]: Congratulations on triggering a rare drop. You successfully drew the SSR gold card "Treehouse Shelter Construction Blueprint"!
[Lady Luck Arrives]: Congratulations on triggering a rare drop. You successfully drew the SSR gold card "Terrain Modification: Bluewater Skylight"!
Xie Zhao: Well, now that you mention it...
It's pretty great, yeah.
Xie Zhao diligently starts a business trading supplies between the modern world and the disaster-ravaged world.
The large quantities of basic supplies needed in the disaster-ravaged world are readily available in the modern world, while the goods produced in the disaster-ravaged world have all kinds of wondrous effects.
Her territory grows larger and more fantastical with every upgrade.
Before long, the apocalypse shelter goes viral online. People don't understand why it's called an apocalypse shelter, but that doesn't stop them from flocking there to take pictures.
When the shelter is finally complete, the whole internet is flooded with images of its breathtaking grounds and all kinds of wondrous buildings.
Xie Zhao: The apocalypse is here. Zodiac signs, choose your shelter.
Everyone: Can you please drop that stupid apocalypse thing already?!
