The Server's Number One Collector [Full Dive]

The author's new book next door, The All-Round Gardening Master [Infrastructure Building], is now underway. Everyone on the top-ranked team knows they have a mysterious vice-captain who never shows up for dungeons or team battles. But whatever materials you need, you'll get the same reply: "I've got it." Weapons, gear, medicine: she hands it all out in stacks. While other people risk their lives in dungeons, her team gets by on red and blue potions. A year after the game launches, the team needs a batch of rare materials to level up, and no one has even heard of them. Just as everyone is at a loss, someone hears their elusive vice-captain say two words: "I've got it." After leveling up, the team can expand its territory, but the rental fee is so high no one can afford it. The members say, "Forget it. The second-place team doesn't have territory either." The vice-captain, who had already walked to the door, tosses out a line: "It's my land. Use it for free." A collecting maniac hard at work: If you can think of it, it's in my inventory. Much later, Shi Mian, who found her fated partner in the game's top player, reflects: "It's not that I love supplies. I just love the feeling of collecting them." Everyone who's been dazzled by Shi Mian showing off her haul since launch: Yeah, right. I don't believe a word of it. Shi Mian sighs at not being believed. "I'm telling the truth. Why does no one believe me?" Her partner, standing beside her, nods solemnly. "I believe you." The author's new book, The All-Round Gardening Master [Infrastructure Building], is being updated daily. After waking up one day, Shen Xingli discovers she's actually a nameless cannon-fodder roommate of the heroine in an apocalypse novel. On the third day of the apocalypse, the heroine and her best friend trick her into going outside to feed the zombies. Shen Xingli has just awakened her wood-type ability. The apocalypse? Then she'll farm. [Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a mutated chili pepper. Function: Its intensely pungent smell makes zombies keep their distance.] [Congratulations, Host! You have obtained mutated Sichuan peppercorns. Function: The energy released when ripe peppercorns burst can kill low-level zombies outright.] [Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a high-level ability beast. Function: Its sharp claws can tear through any obstacle.] [Congratulations...] Among the countless mutated creatures, half are in Shen Xingli's hands. In the third year of the apocalypse, the S City Base is still the place everyone dreams of reaching. They say plants grow everywhere there, and even the ordinary cats and dogs at the base can keep you fed. Then a high-level zombie invasion happens, and everyone sees the animals, usually so leisurely out for a stroll, take one bite each and leave the zombies in pieces. Shen Xingli leisurely munches an apple behind them. Before she's finished it, the zombies are gone. Everyone: How terrifying... Theme: There are no useless materials, only people who don't know how to use them.
