After the Richest Man NPC Stopped Being a Tool

My new book, Bringing My Pocket Dimension Back to the Wasteland, is now out ovo. Please add it to your collection =3=

--Blurb--

Gu Tong transmigrates into a game as an NPC, becoming the richest person in everyone's eyes.

Her house is built from snowfield stone worth its weight in gold, and her pet is a legendary divine beast.

Her garden is planted with all kinds of rare flowers and herbs that are nearly extinct, while the bottom of her pond is covered in space sand, a treasure no one can buy.

Even the decorations casually placed around her home are hard-to-find treasures...

Only Gu Tong knows that she's so poor she can't even afford a steamed bun. She has just one copper coin to her name, and the house she lives in looks like it lets the wind right through!

To keep from starving to death, Gu Tong can only scrape by by competing with players for quests.

She never expected to accidentally rise to the top of several leaderboards and become a mysterious big shot in the eyes of countless players.

Rumor has it that the number one player on the wealth leaderboard owns properties in every major city.

Gu Tong: I actually own quite a few shops, too.

Rumor has it that the guild master of the number one guild is the boyfriend of the number one alchemist, and personally cooks meals to bring to the apothecary every day.

Gu Tong: We're obviously just an ordinary boss and employee!

Later...

Gu Tong: Would you mind changing jobs? The apothecary needs a new boss.

Someone: And what about you?

Gu Tong: I'll naturally be the apothecary's lady boss.

Someone: "Blushes and nods"

--Bringing My Pocket Dimension Back to the Wasteland--

Gu Qi has returned, back to the moment she was abandoned as a burden.

A vehicle is driving away in front of her. A horde of zombies is behind her. She's running a fever and tied up so tightly she can barely move.

Luckily, her pocket dimension came back with her. She can simply release it and crush a whole swarm of zombies.

Unfortunately, the pocket dimension has shrunk into an empty little mountain, and she'll have to find a way to repair the damage.

Fortunately, the apocalypse has no shortage of mutated plants, not to mention mutated animals that are "eager" to help with the farming!

*

The apocalypse descends, and the world becomes a living hell.

Zombies and mutated creatures run rampant, and the land can no longer grow normal plants.

One wrong move outside can cost you your life, but staying indoors means starving to death.

Just as humanity falls deeper into despair, a general store called Jiucang appears out of nowhere!

Poisoned or injured? Jiucang General Store sells all kinds of miraculous pills and medicines!

Can't carry all the supplies you've gathered? Jiucang General Store sells all sorts of storage devices!

Short on food? Jiucang General Store also sells all kinds of grain and fresh fruits and vegetables!

Zombies and mutated creatures getting harder to fight? Jiucang General Store sells divine weapons that can slice through zombies like vegetables!

There's nothing Jiucang General Store doesn't have, only things people haven't thought to ask for!

Gradually, people who have regained hope begin to worship the mysterious shopkeeper as a god.

Gu Qi: I just opened a shop to collect materials for repairing my pocket dimension and sell some things on the side. How come merit is falling from the sky, too?
