A Silly Beauty's Guide to Becoming a God in the Apocalypse

The world is turning into a zombie wasteland, and the apocalypse has arrived.

While fleeing for her life, Cheng Xin accidentally binds herself to a [Deadbeat Draw System].

From then on, everyone else is doing their best to survive. And her... is doing her best to fight the deadbeat System.

[Ding... Congratulations, Miss Cheng, on completing the Deadbeat Mission: Apocalypse Matchmaking series. Your draw is now available.]

[Ding... Enhancement Card: Grants you the bite force of a husky.]

[Ding... Skill Card: A hundred seconds of being a real man.]

[Ding... Pet Card: One cute and cheeky Teemo.]

[Ding... Weapon Card: One short, thin toothpick.]

"!!!"

Cheng Xin's mouth twitched uncontrollably. "What the hell... is all this?"

Use a toothpick as a weapon? Is the plan to let the zombies eat me while I help them pick their teeth?

You useless System, I just want to stay alive!

But she never imagined that these bizarre, deadbeat cards would open up an unconventional path to survival in the apocalypse, one that was wild and fierce.

As it turned out, her pet Teemo could plant mushroom land mines, and her toothpick weapon could transform into the Number One hidden weapon, the Pear Blossom Storm. The skill, A Hundred Seconds of Being a Real Man, helped her turn the tables at the very brink of death time and again. And that S-rank card, which could kill enemies and warm her bed... well, some things are better left unsaid.

Years later.

Cheng Xin, the strongest fighter in the apocalypse and the top big shot, sat in a rocking chair, enjoying her golden years with her little granddaughter in her arms.

"Grandma, Grandma, Jiang Shuaishuai and Tang Tiantian from my class say you're the great hero who saved the world. Is that true?"

Clear morning light fell upon Cheng Xin's youthful face, faintly revealing the peerless grace she had possessed in her heyday. She smiled and nodded.

"Of course. Back then, your grandma kept both hands in her pockets. I didn't even know what an opponent was."

Reader's Guide and Content Notes:

Elements: Leveling up, infrastructure building, stockpiling, ensemble cast, human nature, comedy, and thrills.

There is a male lead. Aside from his moments in the spotlight and his role in revealing the worldbuilding, he barely features. In short, there's no need to dwell on him. The heroine carved out this world for herself.

This amateur writer's prose is at an elementary-school level. If you have very high standards for writing, read the twenty free chapters first. If you can't accept it, don't force yourself to spend money and suffer. Let's part ways amicably and each find our own happiness.

The heroine grows over the course of the story, from an ordinary girl into a max-level powerhouse and savior of the world. So at the beginning, she's like any ordinary person: scared, foolish at times, and prone to carelessness. She has to go through things and grow step by step. She's not the aloof type, but a capable, approachable team leader who can shoulder responsibility.

The apocalypse is a strong presence throughout the story, but it won't be oppressive from beginning to end. After surviving the ultimate crisis of life and death, there will surely be a rebound of celebration and joy: a celebration at the boundary between life and death. If you think the main cast must remain heavy-hearted and grief-stricken throughout, try a serious drama instead. Mine is a feel-good story about a powerful woman, dear readers.

#She is the most unconventional faith of the survivors, and their one and only light of salvation.

This story is also known as "The Zombies Came, So I Bit Them to Death" and "100 Strange Ways to Kill Zombies"~

My next book is Welcome to the Horror Banquet. Kind angels who like what they see, please add it to your collection~

Blurb:

In 20X7, higher-dimensional forces invade, and the infinite System [Global Banquet] descends.

According to its rules, the System randomly selects people from around the world to enter infinite worlds. The world is divided into national regions, and every player receives a signature skill related to their profession upon entering the game.

Before joining the banquet, Tang Wan was a popular, well-regarded actress. On screen, she had always been pure and gentle, with skin like snow and a delicate frame. She was known as the nation's number-one white moonlight.

When the entire nation saw this seemingly "completely incapable of fighting" delicate flower in the banquet livestream, along with her "completely useless" signature skill, [Two-Way Longing], which let her share her senses with ghosts and monsters, everyone saw black.

It was over. Their living white moonlight was about to become a dead white moonlight...

But nobody expected their "white moonlight" not to die, but to have her public image collapse.

In a single night, the nation's white moonlight fell from grace, and a mad female war god burst onto the scene.

In the Deadly High School dungeon, while everyone else fled in panic at the sight of a ghost, she stuck her neck right out toward its claw.

"Come on! If you've got the guts, squeeze harder!"

She had the shared-senses skill "Two-Way Longing." The pain landed on her, but the ghost felt it too. What was there to be afraid of?

In the Western Town dungeon, while everyone else racked their brains and used up their items to fight the nightmare demon, she hit herself over the head with a mallet.

Tang Wan: "Drop dead!"

Bang! The ghost and the woman both fell to the ground...

In the Chinese Horror dungeon, the viewers and her teammates all thought she was going to go berserk and unleash her full power against the female ghost. Instead, she went about it in another kind of madness: she reached out and gave the ghost a long, tender hug.

Tang Wan explained, "What ghost? I only see a woman trapped by feudal ethics her whole life. She's a sister we need to save! You young people are always fighting. Violence doesn't solve problems. We need love, understand? We need to change her with love."

Then she turned around and helped the ghost wipe out the entire mountain village.

Viewers: ...

Later, the global regions' joint dungeon opened. Its outcome was tied to the real world: victory meant prosperity for one's homeland, while defeat would bring disaster.

Faced with teams from other regions who wanted to kill her teammates and destroy her homeland, Tang Wan showed the world perfectly that no one is the maddest, only madder.

#Even if the world is devastated, I will protect the Eastern homeland.

#Below is the blurb for my upcoming book: "So You're a Useless Control Class? (Full-Dive)". Revenge and putting scumbags in their place.

-

Gu Qiao, former world champion of the global professional league for the game Dominate, was framed by her former teammates. She became embroiled in a massive scandal, was abandoned by her club, and permanently banned from competing.

Overnight, the former "God of Dominate" fell from the clouds into the mud.

She was cursed by countless online gamers, saddled with a massive breach-of-contract penalty, and unable to afford her mother and younger brother's exorbitant medical bills.

Finally, in utter despair, Gu Qiao jumped from the A City's cross-river bridge.

But unexpectedly, she transmigrated into the body of Gu Xiaoqiao, a gaming-obsessed girl.

Gu Xiaoqiao was a young woman who had been tricked out of her feelings and money by a cheating boyfriend and his mistress in an online game. Unable to bear it, she had jumped into the river from the bridge next door at the same time.

Fate can be pretty miraculous sometimes.

After recovering, Gu Qiao looked at her brand-new identity and secretly swore that since she had been given a second life, she would make everyone pay back everything they owed her and Gu Xiaoqiao, with interest!

With her blazing little universe of revenge burning inside her, Gu Qiao opened the game she had once known so well and clicked on the login screen.

Then... well, she froze a little.

Oh, for crying out loud... this girl's account played a control class!

*

What is a control class?

Players of Dominate would tell you with contempt: a weakling class with no damage, no defense, and no ability to do anything right. In a fight, it just lies flat.

But nobody expected that a year later, in Dominate's global livestreamed peak-ranked tournament, a female control-class player wearing junk gear would face off against a top spender.

She would give the audience a perfect demonstration of how the weak could defeat the strong, crushing her opponent.

What does it mean to crush someone?

Throughout the entire match, the once-dominant expert couldn't even draw his sword. He was kept rooted in place by a seamless chain of control skills.

He could only watch as his health bar was chipped away by a level-one wooden sword, one point at a time, for nearly ten minutes, until he finally collapsed in humiliation!

This moment was destined to be recorded in Dominate's history: the moment the control class was vindicated.

The female player Gu Qiao glanced coolly at the audience.

"Heh. You bullied me, humiliated me, looked down on me, and betrayed me. But now, from the moment I step onto this stage..."

"You will all become prey for me to toy with at my fingertips."

Premise: Women, too, have the power to save the world.
