Surviving on the Highway, I Run a Service Area

After transmigrating, Bai Yu is dumped at an isolated service area in the middle of nowhere, with no town in sight in either direction. She is also bound to some kind of [Service Area Management Simulation] System.

Bai Yu: Wait, can you even run a business in a place like this? This is asking way too much of a delicate college student.

[Main Quest 1: Earn 50,000 in revenue (0/50000)

Quest Reward: Upgrade the service area]

Bai Yu's vision goes dark. She takes another look at the starting products: braised beef instant noodles, ordinary bottled mineral water, and boxed meals with randomly selected meat and vegetables.

Bai Yu: .

Well, this service area will never get upgraded in this lifetime.

The first customer arrives, dressed in rags, with a face blackened by grime.

Seeing the products, she cries out excitedly: What?! You sell mineral water here? I haven't had clean water in ages. Please sell every last bottle to me!

The second customer arrives, shivering so hard that his nose is running and tears are streaming down his face.

Seeing the products, he nearly jumps with excitement: What? You have instant noodles, and you'll even prepare them for me? I can still eat a hot meal in this lifetime... I'm so happy, so happy!

The third customer arrives, dressed in tatters and thin as a rail.

Seeing the products, she shakily holds out her coins with both hands. "Please give me a boxed meal. I haven't had anything cooked with oil in such a long, long time. Even if it's just vegetables, as long as they've been stir-fried in oil, I'll be more than satisfied."

Bai Yu: ...?

Bai Yu: I have no idea what has happened to all of you, my customers.

Later, Bai Yu understands. She has transmigrated into a road-survival game.

The service area is the only shelter in the game that can provide supplies to players.

As long as she keeps increasing revenue and completing quests, she can keep improving the facilities and expanding the range of products.

.

At the start of the survival game, supplies are scarce, players' stats plummet, and simply staying alive seems like a distant hope.

Then Bai Yu sets up a convenience service area.

Steaming hot instant noodles, fragrant boxed meals, refreshing mineral water... It has everything, and every item is delicious, quenches thirst, and boosts stats.

Some time into the survival game, disasters strike one after another and monsters appear out of nowhere. Extreme cold, scorching heat, torrential rain, and plague are more than the players' basic equipment and supplies can handle.

Bai Yu's convenience service area has it all: fluffy, warm clothing sets, refreshing air-conditioning systems, engine modules for rainy weather, miracle medicine that adds 60 health points, weapons with outrageously high stats...

It even has a wide variety of special buildings: a wishing well that increases luck, a clinic that treats serious illnesses, a restaurant serving food that boosts special attributes...

.

Bai Yu only wants to do her job diligently, complete her quests, and improve her own living conditions.

But

The players keep treating her like a god who can protect them from disasters.

The players' inner thoughts, basically:

She must be a god! Otherwise, how could she have such an abundance of supplies, so many facilities that boost stats, and all those amazing NPCs?

[Reading Guide]

A feel-good business management story. More running a business, less construction.

Set against a survival game.

As always, a wealth of plot with a small amount of romance mixed in. The male lead appears late. A grateful puppy romance.

Theme: Helping one another and improving together.
