What should you do after transmigrating into the game as a down-and-out wasteland lord?
Lin En flipped through the strategy guide sent by the Alchemy Book:
"Your top priority is to rebuild your territory.
Learn alchemy, and use your talent to create innovative alchemical products.
Sell your alchemical products to get food and gold for your territory. Abundant supplies will attract natives to settle there and help you build this little world.
Remember to clear out the evil magical creatures in your territory in time. Along the way, you can not only gain new companions, but also discover rare alchemical recipes.
Establish multiple trade routes for your territory. The Keluuna people, skilled nomads; the elves, favored by nature from birth; the dwarves, masters of the forge: every race that joins will bring new strength to your territory..."
Lin En closed the guide.
All right, it's very detailed. I'll do just that.
After tireless effort, her first independently developed alchemical products were finally ready: a teapot that could brew tea automatically, and a teacup that could bring you hot tea whenever you wanted.
Lin En: ...
With talent like hers, there was probably no hope of building up her territory.
