Global Mutation, But I Became a Bag of Chips

Wen Xianzhu was a law-abiding citizen who worked hard and lived a quiet, orderly life. Her routine was so simple that she had spent the past three years cooped up at home without going out.

When she woke up one day, she discovered that her left arm had turned into a tube of potato chips. The tube was full of chips, and they were edible and pretty tasty, too.

Wen Xianzhu: "?"

Gradually, she learned to switch her left arm between its human form and its potato chip tube form. The chips replenished much faster, and she could even choose what flavor appeared in the tube.

A pretty useless ability, but at least it came with tasty snacks.

One day, two people in Wen Xianzhu's kitchen turned into an egg and a tomato. Behind them were neighbors who had turned into cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. They popped open their heads like spice jars and offered to use their own bodies to make her tomato and egg stir-fry.

Wen Xianzhu: "??"

Thanks, but I don't think I can eat that.

At the same time, a life-size BJD, or rather, a man as exquisitely crafted as a BJD, showed up at her door. His name was Xie Lanyin.

Xie Lanyin told her that the outside world had changed completely. People were turning into all kinds of objects without warning, and the transformations could spread by contagion. The apartment building where Wen Xianzhu lived had recently become an infected zone, and she needed to evacuate as soon as possible.

Wen Xianzhu: "???"

Am I crazy, or are you? What do you mean, I stayed in for three years and the world changed beyond recognition?

The streets were full of people whose bodies had turned into bicycles, electric bikes, and cars. Some had become gold and were selling themselves off. Others had turned into spicy gluten strips and were eating themselves until tears and snot ran down their faces. One person had even turned into a suit.

The two of them rode, spent, ate, and used... them as they made their way toward the city to meet up with others.

Xie Lanyin also told her that his mutation had turned him into a BJD. The upside was that he could detach his limbs and eyeballs at will. The downside was that his body was more fragile than a human's and would shatter if he fell.

Wen Xianzhu: "..."

To fit into the new world, she joined the "Clinic" and became an employee specializing in clearing out "infected zones."

A frenzied stone gambling den, an efficient study hall that never closes, a horrifying pig-head meat factory...

The so-called "infected zones" seemed to be much more than a mere byproduct of human mutation.

What can a bag of potato chips and a BJD, two fragile things, do to a world that's already gone mad?
