Puppeteer, Don't Get Too Arrogant

Zombies roam the apocalypse, and disasters ravage the world. Survival is hard, and the future looks bleak. But when it comes to Shang Yuze, things take a very different turn. Shang Yuze finds a secluded spot, takes a tiny wooden doll out of his bag, and sets it on the ground. "Go find your hungry master something to eat." The wooden doll quickly grows into a young man and runs off. Before long, he returns with a big bag of sliced bread. People at the base gradually realize that Shang Yuze is not like the rest of them. Everyone else is scraping by on coarse food and stressing over how to survive. So why does Shang Yuze, who never does a thing, have a car waiting when he goes out, a mansion to come home to, and a life of luxury surrounded by servants??? Shang Yuze pops a peeled grape into his mouth. Got it now? You have no idea how much fun it is to be a puppeteer. What do you do when you're hungry? Send a puppet out to find food! What do you do when you have nowhere to live? Get your puppets to build you a house! What do you do when there's no car? Have a puppet carry you around! What do you do when zombies show up? Get your puppets to beat them up... Wait, can he turn zombies into puppets too? He has a feeling he's just figured out how to save the world... Shang Yuze, the last puppeteer in the world, lost his favorite puppet in an accident. From then on, he pined for it day and night, tossing and turning, unable to eat, and wasting away. Then one day, he saw the puppet that had been destroyed standing before him, smiling so dazzlingly it left him mesmerized. Shang Yuze thought for two seconds, then bolted. Good heavens, my puppet, reduced to ashes, has come back to life! Xun Su: ??? What happened to all that pining and refusing to eat?!!! You liar, you big liar!!! #What do I do when my puppet comes to life and wants to date me? Help, this is urgent. # #They say puppeteers are all slackers? What are you talking about... That's exactly right!# The author's next book, "A Handbook for Rebuilding a Deserted City," is available for pre-order. Just visit the author's profile to find it. Kisses~ Qi Mingyi stands before the city gates. Before him lie crumbling ruins. An endless desert surrounds him, and great clumps of tumbleweed blow against his legs. This is his city. After saving a world at the behest of the Savior System, Qi Mingyi finally managed to get rid of the System and claim the city it had promised him. But... There isn't even an ant in this deserted city. System, are you messing with me??!! Luckily, he has a special NPC-summoning skill. He turns the deserted city into a game, attracting countless players. Qi Mingyi sips the wine his players "offer" him as he watches them work tirelessly, turning the desert into an oasis and the ruins into skyscrapers, one step at a time. The desolate landscape fades into history. A bustling night scene stretches before him, while his NPC butler, Chu Xuan, stands by his side, attentive and considerate. Now this is the kind of life a city lord is meant to have. Asked what they think of the game "Deserted City": Player A: It's the best and most generous game I've ever played!
