Stockpiling Supplies to Build a New World

The neighboring upcoming novel, Childhood Sweethearts in the 1970s, is open for bookmarks. Welcome to add it to your collection! Blurb: The apocalypse suddenly descends. Zombies run rampant, and humanity's established way of life is completely shattered. At the same time, an "Apocalypse Landlord Game" goes live worldwide, randomly selecting lucky people to take part. Players must keep stockpiling supplies and clearing out zombies to upgrade their buildings. A building's prosperity and its landlord's luck value determine the landlord's overall score. The first landlord to reach the top overall score can make any one wish come true. Lu Lu has come from another apocalyptic world and is forced to take part in the "Apocalypse Landlord Game." The other players are overjoyed, fighting tooth and nail to seize supplies and build up their buildings. Only Lu Lu quietly asks, "Can I give up my landlord status?" The game customer service replies sweetly: "Dear player, giving up the game will turn you into a zombie right away!" Lu Lu: "..." What else can she do? Keep her head down and survive. Everyone starts with a building. Other people get three-story villas, while she gets the 38-story China World Trade Center Tower. Everyone gets supplies refreshed daily. Other people get three gift packs for their three floors, while she gets 38 gift packs for her 38 floors. Everyone connects their buildings together. Other people end up with old residential districts, while she gets a bustling commercial area. Later... Everyone watches as the number on the roof of Lu Lu's building skyrockets from 102 all the way up to number one. As everyone knows, a building's rooftop number is the same as its overall ranking worldwide. Ding! Congratulations to player Lu Lu for becoming the "Apocalypse's Number One Landlord"! Lu Lu: "My wish is..." "For the world to return to how it was before the apocalypse!" * Blurb for the upcoming novel, Childhood Sweethearts in the 1970s: Cheng Xia never imagined that she would open her eyes one day and find herself reborn in the 1970s. At that time, she was still a lovely young woman with fair skin. Her adoptive parents, who favored sons over daughters, had not yet forced her to marry Zhao Wentao, a young urbanite sent to work in her village. In her previous life, she followed her adoptive parents' arrangements and married Zhao Wentao in a daze. They went several years without having children, and on top of Cheng Xia's rural background, Zhao's parents eventually grew dissatisfied with her and looked down on her. The scumbag Zhao Wentao treated her with courtesy on the surface, but had secretly been involved with his childhood sweetheart for a long time. He was just waiting to return to the city so he could dump Cheng Xia and marry someone else. After her divorce, Cheng Xia made her way on her own. Starting as a kitchen helper at a state-run restaurant, she steadily worked her way up and eventually became its head chef. But just as she was preparing to open her own restaurant, she accidentally died of overwork at home. When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn in the 1970s. Her adoptive parents were still threatening and tempting her into marrying Zhao Wentao. Zhao had yet to remember what was so good about his childhood sweetheart, and was wholeheartedly set on marrying Cheng Xia. Reborn Cheng Xia declares: "Who says I can't have a childhood sweetheart too? If Zhao Wentao can cheat with his childhood sweetheart, why can't I marry mine?" Her childhood sweetheart is a tall soldier, a full six feet tall. He's far better than Zhao Wentao! Once she decides, Cheng Xia grits her teeth and calls the childhood sweetheart she hasn't seen in six years, dropping a bombshell in her very first sentence. "Sheng Huai'an. Would you marry me?" The man on the other end is silent for a long time before answering. "All right. Let's get married." * Sheng Huai'an has been an orphan since he was little, abandoned in the village with no one to look after him. No one cared whether he had enough to eat or warm enough clothes to wear. In the bleak memories of his childhood, only Cheng Xia shone brightly. Later, he went far away to join his uncle and enlisted in the army. He and Cheng Xia did not see each other for six years. When he heard that she was discussing marriage with a young urbanite from the village, Sheng Huai'an quietly took out the savings he'd built up over six years, intending to have someone take them back to her. But to his surprise, Cheng Xia called him. From then on, his dark life had a light in it. *The male lead has had a crush on the female lead for many years. After marriage, she will follow the army and continue building her career. The romance and career plotlines develop side by side. Theme: Face challenges head-on.
