Trapped in an Apocalypse Survival Novel with a Tycoon System

Lu Jin suo transmigrated into an ongoing apocalyptic survival novel about stockpiling supplies that she had been following.

In the story, the planet was invaded by an advanced civilization and endured one extreme environment after another: zombies, extreme cold, drought, insect infestations, giants, supernatural phenomena, survival at sea, beast tides, and wasteland pollution. From time to time, a deadly arena would open, where survival was almost impossible. Fortunately, everyone on the planet was bound to a System. The System allowed people to improve their physical attributes and develop abilities, and also had a shop, a forum, and a resource-trading function. People could even build their own safehouses to shelter from disasters.

The bad news: Lu Jin suo still hadn't been bound to a System by the time the zombies were right on top of her.

The good news: Just as she was about to die, a late-arriving System finally appeared.

The bad news: @#%*& was a tycoon System!!!

A month later, someone using the codename Old Jin began to make a name for himself. Everyone wanted to add him as a friend and trade with him, because the things they bought from him were a thousand, ten thousand times better than the stingy shop's goods.

For example, when the shop only sold ordinary pistols, Old Jin could produce a rocket launcher.

And when the shop only let you buy water one bottle at a time, you could ask Old Jin for a whole case, and a premium brand at that.

On top of that, he could sell things the shop didn't carry, especially insecticide, which had a 500% approval rating.

The only catch was that Old Jin didn't accept System coins. You had to trade paper money, gold, or silver, and the better the goods, the higher the price. Fortunately, Old Jin did every kind of business, and would even earn a penny if he could.

So every time they reached a new world, everyone's first priority was to scour the place for paper money, gold, and silver. No one noticed that one person was completely different from the rest. Instead of looking for these shiny valuables, he huffed and puffed as he picked up trash everywhere: one dollar for a dead zombie, ten dollars for a live zombie, one dime for a bug, one dime for a brick...

Watching her little hoard grow by leaps and bounds, Lu Jin suo worked even harder to stockpile trash.

Lu Jin suo sighed up at the sky. “Sigh, earning money from legitimate trades is too slow. I make more from collecting trash. Sigh, when will I earn ten billion? I want to go home so badly!”

After she worked hard to earn 100 million, the System chimed: “Host has reached Level 3. Reputation exchange function unlocked.”

Lu Jin suo: !!!
