After Bystander A Bound to JJ Literature City

[Updates before midnight. If I don't update, I'll post a leave notice]

One second, Yu Zhi was half-listening as a friend complained that the protagonist of some novel was a bloodthirsty, unhinged psychopath. The next, the novel's plot became reality.

The apocalypse arrived, and pollution transformed the whole world.

Some people were contaminated, mouths growing out of the tops of their heads. Others awakened and gained supernatural abilities.

Yu Zhi: What the hell?!

Bad news: He had never paid attention to his friend's plot summary.

Good news: He had awakened an ability, a bizarre one called JJ Literature City.

[Ability One: You are just a passerby.]

[Note: You used to be an ordinary, unremarkable passerby in a novel, but from now on, you will…]

Yu Zhi took a deep breath and excitedly flipped to the next page. His smile instantly froze: […have no bodily functions!]

???

What kind of ability is that?

*

Before long, Yu Zhi had the bad luck to run into the protagonist, Fu Suxi, drenched in blood and looking like a demon straight from hell.

The good news was that Yu Zhi had just gained a second ability.

The bad news was that this new ability seemed completely useless.

[Ability Two: Censored.]

[Effect: Make one person forget you within ten steps; travel a thousand miles without leaving a trace.]

The moment Fu Suxi drew near Yu Zhi, the killing intent in his heart inexplicably vanished.

He held a knife to Yu Zhi's throat and asked with keen interest, “What did you do to me?”

Yu Zhi: “…”

If I told you I censored you, would you believe me?

Note:

1. A touch of Lovecraftian horror, post-apocalyptic wasteland, lighthearted tone.

2. One-on-one romance. Both the shou and gong are very strong.

3. Includes smaller arcs that tie into the main plot.

4. Chapters 218–256 of the Scholar arc have been completely rewritten and replaced. The plot is entirely different from the original version, and the revised story is much clearer, so please read those chapters again.

Upcoming novel in a similar vein: “Ordinary, Weak, Pitiful, but Able to Eat”

Chi Dian, an utterly unremarkable ordinary person, transmigrated to a wasteland world and became a human with inferior genes.

His father didn't care for him, his mother didn't love him. He was weak and pitiful, but could eat.

To fill his stomach, he ate whatever he could find.

He fought garbage companies over trash.

He fought security companies over pollutants.

He fought energy companies over energy.

As long as eating wouldn't kill him, he ate himself to the brink of death.

Later, by a twist of fate, Chi Dian learned that he had become the wasteland's most wanted criminal, code name: the Evil (Hungry) Ghost.

Chi Dian: “???”

I only ate a tiny bit!

Can I turn myself in and claim the bounty?

Does anyone know if prison meals are all-you-can-eat?
