With Goods in Hand, Even Ghosts Make Good Friends

After Yu Wennan is set up by veteran players, a twist of fate gives her the ability to communicate with ghosts and monsters.

Almost instantly, she sketches out a blueprint for the future.

She doesn't back down just because she's weak and short on manpower. Instead, she boldly makes deals with ghosts and monsters, slowly building her own business empire in the horror game.

The ghosts and monsters become Yu Wennan's best partners. She gets her hands on materials and special items that players have always struggled to obtain.

The horror game's new Story Dungeon update catches players off guard, but it marks the beginning of her growing influence.

She moves all the useful resources out, leaving players to swarm through dungeons like locusts.

Players go from relying on the System Shop to get by and struggling every day just to make ends meet, to Yu Wennan finding substitutes for everyday necessities.

They grow their own food, sew their own clothes, make their own tools. They do everything themselves.

When an old guild comes looking for trouble and tries to swallow them up,

Yu Wennan smiles: Do you want to be maimed or die? Pick one.

When ghosts and monsters try to throw the horror game into chaos,

Yu Wennan shrugs: You know, if I cut off your supplies, the other ghosts and monsters will beat you all up.

With her mediating, players and ghosts and monsters reach a delicate balance, even managing to have fun together.

Cinemas, amusement parks, food streets... Eventually, she even sets them up on blind dates.

Yu Wennan smiles and opens her arms: Whatever you want, we've got it. I guarantee every guest will be satisfied.

Because of her unorthodox ways, she draws the ire of the horror game System, which even makes things difficult for her in the Story Dungeons...

She adapts, meeting every move with a counter.

You exploit loopholes, so do I. Who wins and who loses? Nobody can say until the very end.

From then on, the ghosts and monsters find happiness, while the players gain protection for their lives and material needs.

A world where the horror game System is the only one that suffers: achieved!

*Business-building is the main focus, with little romance.

-------- Upcoming novel --------

Upcoming novel: Saving the World by Upcycling Junk

When she wakes up, Ni Yunhan finds a System pop-up, the kind you'd only see in a movie, appearing before humanity's eyes.

"Status confirmed. Connection established."

"Welcome to the apocalypse."

Faced with this bizarre phenomenon, Ni Yunhan and her friend look at each other in bewilderment.

She tries to kill a zombie, but instead of dying, she is ambushed by another human. Yet misfortune turns out to be a blessing...

"Congratulations, Ni Yunhan. You have acquired the ability 'Add One Character.'"

"Description: Hold an object and say the activation phrase to add one character to its name."

What kind of ability is that?

But with hordes of zombies wandering outside, she can only give it a try. She grabs the nearest thing and says, "Add one character."

"Instant noodles -> instant noodle crumbs."

"Description: The noodles are thoroughly coated in sauce, with a new texture and flavor."

Ni Yunhan: Why, thank you so much!

"Iron rod -> iron rod flower."

"Description: Water it regularly, or it'll wither~"

Ni Yunhan: ? I add the word 'flower' and it actually thinks it's a flower?

It even produces new species...

Strange and bizarre, enough to shatter your worldview.

As everyone knows, supernatural abilities are key to fighting and surviving in the apocalypse. The stronger you are, the higher your status, and bases of all sizes spring up like bamboo shoots after rain.

Bases fight tooth and nail over resources, while survivors scramble to complete the missions assigned by the System.

But then rumors spread that A University in City A has gathered a bunch of lunatics, especially its base leader, who orders people to collect piles of junk every day.

People mock them as a bunch of hoarders.

Survivors: Ha! There are plenty of people who've gone crazy in the apocalypse, but this is the first time I've seen anyone go crazy collecting junk.

~

One disaster after another keeps shrinking the survivors' living space, forcing them to run themselves ragged just to stay alive.

Then, suddenly, one base rises like a hot knife through butter, surging to the top in the blink of an eye and becoming the center of everyone's attention.

Everyone's abilities have leveled up?

They grow their own food, so there's no worry about going hungry?

They have top-quality weapons and complete equipment?

It's enough to make your mouth water. You can't help wishing you could join them.

*Business-building is the main focus, with little romance.

Theme: Seize every glimmer of hope, and you can always rise again.
