I Really Don't Want to Become a Big Shot

An unknown virus sweeps across the globe. Some people become zombies, some evolve, animals mutate, and plants go berserk.

Humanity embarks on the grueling daily struggle against other people, animals, and the virus.

In Shi Lingling's ideal vision of the apocalypse, geniuses emerge from every corner to turn the tide and save the people from disaster.

With her healing superpower, she can make food that heals people. She wanders around selling it from a stall, and all she has to do is hang on until peace returns. Then she can find a related job and live a quiet life. The future is bright.

But things don't go as planned. Every time she goes out, she runs into monsters.

Man-eating plants, flying fish, zombies hiding in crowds, and dried-up rivers.

To survive, Shi Lingling trains her healing ability until it becomes a deadly weapon.

-

She picks up a little monster, and because her cooking is so good, it becomes attached to her.

Everyone: She can even tame a monster like that?! She's incredible!

Shi Lingling: ?

Shi Lingling sells food with healing properties in exchange for supplies.

After a critically injured person eats her food, their flesh and blood regenerate, taking them from the brink of death to bouncing around full of life.

Everyone: She sells something this precious so cheaply. She must just want to help people. She's so kind, I have to follow her!

Shi Lingling: ...?

A heretic emerges. Shi Lingling has a grudge against them, so to prevent future trouble, she decides to strike first.

Everyone: Good heavens, for the sake of world peace, she dares to face evil despite being so weak! She's my one and only goddess!

Shi Lingling: ...I'm not, I didn't. I just want to be an ordinary office worker.

Before she knows it, Shi Lingling is surrounded by crowds of people who call her the uncrowned king.

Coming soon: How I Became a Billionaire by Playing Mahjong

Despite working 996, Lin Shensi still stays up late playing mahjong. It's her only hobby, after all. Life is exhausting, and she needs a little comfort.

Then she dies suddenly and transmigrates in one fell swoop.

She transmigrates into the future of a parallel world.

Competitive gaming rules this world, and mahjong and other board games have long been set aside. Then a tycoon who loves mahjong passionately throws billions into hosting a mahjong tournament.

Mahjong returns to the public eye.

Lin Shensi doesn't want to compete. Her adoptive father, who taught her to gamble at cards, always wanted her to avoid making money through gambling.

Even working 996 couldn't earn enough to overcome sickness and death. Her adoptive father passed away in an ICU bed. That was his one wish, so of course she should honor it.

Then she checks her identity: seventeen years old, a low-class citizen, no parents, surrounded by delinquents, scraping by on petty theft. Some days she eats, some days she doesn't. There's no chance of going to school, and she doesn't have a penny for tuition.

She can't afford rent either, and she's already living in an underpass.

Then she looks at the mahjong tournament prize money:

First place: 10 billion Federation credits.

Second place: 1 billion Federation credits.

Third place: 100 million Federation credits.

Fourth and fifth place: 50 million Federation credits.

Sixth through tenth place: 20 million Federation credits.

Now that's what you call deep pockets.

Even if she can't take first place, making it into the top ten will let her live in luxury and pay her tuition.

Sorry, Dad. Your unfilial daughter has to earn money for school, sob.

-

Lin Shensi only meant to scrape into the top ten, but she accidentally took first place.

A low-class citizen emerges from nowhere and shines across the world.
