[Main story complete]
After the apocalypse, everything needed to be rebuilt. Su Zhan worked at the public services counter for the Civil Affairs Office and a special department. Her life was simple and comfortable.
One day, a little girl stood at the counter clutching her schoolbag, eyes brimming with tears as she looked up at Su Zhan. "Miss, I have a Learning System... Can I hand it over to the Federation?"
Su Zhan: "...I'll ask about it for you?"
The Learning System was only the beginning. More and more people came to Su Zhan asking her to report their Systems:
Romance System, Farming System, Gossip System, Sign-in System, Survival System...
There were way too many Systems to hand over, weren't there?!
Finally, one day, Su Zhan couldn't help asking a Host, "Have you considered keeping your System for yourself?"
The Host: "Life is hard for everyone after the apocalypse. I hope that if I hand over my System, the Federation can find a way to let more people use Systems. Then more people will have an easier time."
Su Zhan: "What if the person who gave you the System suggested that you keep it for yourself?"
The Host: "..."
The Host: "!???"
.
Su Zhan gained a wish-granting ability.
She could assign tasks and set rewards, just like the Systems in so many System novels.
Su Zhan: "Hmm... So can I make a Learning System to help this little girl study hard?"
System: "Yes."
Su Zhan: "Then that's what I'll do!"
* Set in a fictional world
* The female lead is a laid-back big shot who works behind the scenes, starting from nothing
* Premise finalized on December 25, 2021; outline finalized on May 25, 2023
* The original blurb included developing infrastructure, but after talking with Su Zhan, she said she wasn't interested in it and wouldn't assign infrastructure-related Systems. So I removed that element, and the story mainly focuses on daily life after the apocalypse.
* This is different from how I've written before. I wrote a 20,000-word outline, and all the foreshadowing is laid out clearly. No matter what major problems crop up, the female lead is guaranteed to solve them. No need to panic =v=
------------------Coming Soon 1: I'm Paying Close Attention to the Game's Story Today Too [Full-Dive Game]
Blurb:
Nan Zhushi is a devoted player of plot-driven games.
The newly launched full-dive wuxia game The World of Chivalry promises to use brand-new technology to recreate an authentic world of heroes and chivalry. It offers a variety of gameplay and a rich story, letting everyone become part of the martial world.
A rich story? Nan Zhushi clicked in with a loud "smack."
And then--
A plot quest required clearing a multiplayer dungeon, so Nan Zhushi and four gaming friends became the first team on the leaderboard to clear it.
A plot quest required maxing out favor with a sect, so Nan Zhushi became the sole confidant of the sect's hidden big shot.
A plot quest required riding alone into the imperial palace to rescue a puppet emperor, so Nan Zhushi took one zither and sent a hundred players who'd accepted the palace-guard quest flying.
Nan Zhushi: I'm doing the plot quest again today!
Other players: ???
------------------------------Coming Soon 2: The Rules for Living on Earth
[The most important rule for living on Earth: strictly follow the public rules.]
[The following public rules apply when staying or spending time in the home of someone you aren't close to. Do not break them:
1. Do not disobey the homeowner.
2. Do not enter the homeowner's private areas, such as the bedroom, bathroom, or study. Some homeowners are more accommodating and only restrict movement at night, so pay attention to their attitude.
3. Do not leave without informing the homeowner. They may worry that they have failed as a host and do something uncontrollable.
4. If you happen to enter a private area, go to the living room as quickly as possible, sit down, and stare at the television with no program playing until the homeowner sees you out.
5. If the TV cannot be turned off, or the homeowner shows no intention of seeing you out, Rule 3 no longer applies. Jump out the window immediately, flee to the street, and stay out of the homeowner's sight. Once you have confirmed the homeowner is no longer chasing you, leave by the street.
6. The kitchen knife is a last resort. Do not use it unless absolutely necessary.]
[The following public rule applies when playing in the yard. Be sure to follow it:
If you don't want to face the strange creature that comes out at night to hunt while carrying a lanternfish, do not stay in the yard after dark.]
The moment Yang Huilin stepped into her ex-boyfriend's yard with her colleagues, the System in her mind immediately read out three sets of rules.
She was instantly confused. Her career-focused ex-boyfriend considered the entire villa his private domain, so the rules would automatically skip to Rule 4.
Going into the house was dangerous, staying in the yard at night meant running into a freak, and to leave she'd need her ex-boyfriend's permission. Every path was a dead end.
Yang Huilin: Come to think of it, it's not like there's no way out.
Everyone else: What way out?!
Theme: Live well, and make the most of every day.
I choose Jian Tianhai, "When this strange rain stops, everything will be fine." This statement is very much like that of an undercover agent.
I think. . . Yunian is also very suitable for the melon-eating system. With a 1,000-word analysis essay, she will become a neighborhood committee aunt in a few months.
This ending is a little reasonable in its scrawling, and a little outrageous in its reasonableness.
Emmm, so, this book doesn't have a male protagonist.
Xiao Ding, be brave! Who is treated like you? Crush personally teaches you how to pursue yourself!
Is there anything that readers should not know?
Acemiao seems to be the one who got the flower market script (dbq)
I was wondering, could Bai be the mastermind behind this?
That's gone? ! ! !
The heroine has a bit of beauty and strength in her body
