A Microwave [Apocalypse]

Coming soon: The Spoiled Interstellar Gemstone Gambler

Update schedule: If there's a ranking event, updates will follow its schedule (though this one probably won't get a slot). Without one, updates are on weekdays, with weekends off. Thank you, everyone!

Blurb 1:

Not long after Tan Yueming was struck on the back of the head by her uncle's family and died on top of a microwave, she was reborn one month before the apocalypse began.

Physically weak, targeted by her uncle's family as easy prey, and unable to awaken an ability, how could she escape the tragic fate she suffered in her previous life?

Looking at the microwave in front of her, Tan Yueming knew exactly what to do: put it to good use.

Tan Yueming successfully won over Sheng Tingjun's picky palate with the microwave.

Then she used apple pie to attract Jin Shu, a beautiful metal ability user; steamed eggs, guaranteed every day, to recruit Wu Cheng, a single dad with earth abilities; and the aroma of garlic-roasted oysters to hook Liu Huo, a fire ability user. Wood, wind, and mind ability users were also drawn in by the food one after another, falling right into Tan Yueming and Sheng Tingjun's team.

While other teams gnawed on flatbread, Tan Yueming used little potato balls as bombs, blowing up a whole crowd with a single one.

"Wasting food is a crime!" they cried from the depths of their souls, then quietly moved away.

Plenty of teams came to recruit Sheng Tingjun, a genius with three abilities, but he sent them all packing with sparks of lightning, so he could get back to making ice and coconut milk squares.

"Sheng Tingjun, you're stealing milk again!" The ability users who'd just been sent packing watched Sheng Tingjun, who'd been so arrogant moments ago, get chased around and beaten by Tan Yueming. They couldn't help but marvel: There's always someone who can keep another in check!

"Um, while you're fighting, can we have some coconut milk squares?" The onlookers even tried using a wood ability user to grow vines and steal some, only for Sheng Tingjun to zap them in half with lightning.

Sheng Tingjun thought: I'm just teasing my wife. You think you can take advantage of the situation? No way!

Blurb 2:

"Captain, why do they get roast chicken? And Brazilian barbecue?"

"Boss, what are they eating? Is that baked rice with cheese?"

The teams on the same mission gnawed on their own flatbread, trying to sate their hunger by imagining the food, and wondered whether they and Tan Yueming's team were really in the same apocalypse.

After eating, the women in Tan Yueming's team pulled out pressed powder and lipstick to touch up their makeup, while a middle-aged man played with a rattle to entertain a child.

The other teams found their flatbread harder and harder to swallow. Eating gourmet food, putting on makeup, and entertaining a child was one thing, but there was even someone in a robe with wide sleeves playing a flute. Were they kidding?

The only two normal people in this weird-looking team seemed to be Tan Yueming, who was wiping her knife, and Sheng Tingjun, who said nothing and focused on carrying a microwave around, putting things in and taking them out.

Everyone agreed that this ridiculous team would soon be wiped out, and kept their distance to avoid getting dragged down with them.

But why did this outrageous team mow down zombies like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves? How had one team gathered ability users of every type?

Wait, was that microwave carrier actually Sheng Tingjun? The genius with lightning and water abilities? He had spatial abilities too? So he had three abilities?

After witnessing the team's strength, they couldn't help turning their attention to Tan Yueming, the only ordinary person. What could she possibly have done to gather so many powerful people?

Tan Yueming seemed completely unaware of their curious stares. After collecting the crystals, she looked at her team, gathered around her to guard her, and waved her hand. "Come on, let's go home and eat."

With a microwave in hand, the world is mine!

A post-apocalyptic food story. You'll love it.

Coming-soon idea: No transmigration and no rebirth. The male and female leads are both native-born interstellar citizens.

An interstellar setting. The leads have been engaged since childhood.

The heroine is a clingy, cutesy crybaby, but she's a genius at gemstone gambling.

The hero is an incurable wife-doter who has carefully looked after the heroine since they were children, treating her as his future wife.

The heroine has been pampered all her life. She can't lift anything heavy or do any hard work, and the hero even puts her shoes on for her.

A lot of people say she's been spoiled into a useless little songbird.

This little princess, who spends money like water, suddenly develops a new hobby: buying crystals. Everyone waits to see her make a fool of herself.

Theme: Eat well, drink well, and be happy every day
