1,
A year ago, Qiao Anwan unexpectedly won the only beta-testing spot for the Blind Box System.
She could open one blind box a day, and the items she got were all sorts of strange: a water bottle that could never be filled, a branch that could never sprout, a cloth doll that cried forever, a strangely shaped RV model...
As well as rice, 5 kg x N, and bottled water, 24 bottles per pack x N.
Having read countless post-apocalyptic novels, Qiao Anwan was convinced the end of the world was coming.
She sold off her assets and spent all her savings stockpiling supplies.
A year later, nothing had happened.
"..."
Qiao Anwan finally gave up on her apocalyptic fantasies and prepared to start a new life.
That day, the Blind Box System interface changed.
"Apocalypse countdown: 30 days."
2,
Eternal night, poisonous fog, extreme heat, earthquakes, floods, extreme cold, insect swarms, evolving plants and animals...
With the help of the Blind Box System, Qiao Anwan easily survived one natural disaster after another.
Other survivors suffered through hardship until one day, the Blind Box System finally went public.
It seemed there was new hope for survival.
As a new day began, another heated discussion broke out on the Blind Box System forum.
"I got 10 kg of rice! I don't care, I'm the luckiest person alive today!"
"An A-grade cold-weather sleeping bag, hehe! Tell me, have any of you seen one before?"
"A protective suit with no gaps. How's that for impressive?"
Seeing one boastful post after another on the forum, Qiao Anwan opened her one-of-a-kind System inventory.
All 100 inventory slots were packed full.
Well, she had plenty of supplies, so there was nothing to worry about.
She looked up, and her robot butler was tidying up in an orderly fashion. Her foul-mouthed parrot, with its incredible danger-sensing ability, was proudly patrolling its territory. Seven muscular men made from special modeling clay were sweating it out in the boxing room...
When it came to luck, she was the Blind Box System's favorite.
[Bonus Scene]:
To avoid earthquake zones and flooding, the survivors migrated to the highlands.
On the road, men and women, young and old, exhausted and starving, freezing and hungry, envied most of all the oddly shaped RV at the front of the group.
But no one dared go near it.
They said the vines growing on the outside of that RV loved drinking human blood.
They said the RV was full of food and had water that would never run out.
They said there were eight muscular men inside who beat up any evildoers, every punch landing hard.
On the second-floor terrace of the RV, Qiao Anwan ate hot pot, drank cola, held her cat, played with her dog, and listened to her parrot chatter.
The representative of the group chosen to negotiate a deal rubbed his painfully full belly, then finally couldn't help pointing to the handsome man behind Qiao Anwan, fanning her.
"And who is this...?"
Qiao Anwan raised an eyebrow and took the man's hand.
"Jealous? I drew him from a blind box."
#In the end, Qiao Anwan finally understood that the so-called Blind Box System was a gift from God to the angel God loved most#

The Cannon-Fodder Reborn in a Natural Disaster Novel
Blurb:
Song Yan was reborn on the day before the apocalypse began.
In her previous life, she had a treasure but didn't know it, and gave her golden finger to her best friend, Su Qingqing. In the end, she died for Su Qingqing without a single regret.
But after her death, her soul didn't disappear. It stayed by Su Qingqing's side, and she learned the whole truth.
It turned out her parents hadn't died by accident. Su Qingqing had pushed them into a horde of zombies to save herself.
Her roommate, who had truly cared about her, had also died in the wilderness because of Su Qingqing's selfishness, with no one to claim her body.
Reborn, Song Yan immediately took back her golden finger.
This time, she would never let the tragedy happen again.
*
The world changed. First came zombies surrounding cities, then unknown radiation that caused food to spoil faster and made the land impossible to farm.
Humanity was pushed to the brink of extinction.
Fortunately, some people developed a special ability in their minds called a "Farming (Ranching) Space."
The space could not store items. It could only be used to grow crops or raise livestock.
These ability users were called humanity's last hope.
After safe zones were established, ability users formed teams of their own.
Among them, the ability team called "wo" was voted the team with the "highest happiness level."
They say the team enjoys all the liquor it can drink, all the fruit it can eat, and every kind of meat, from chicken and duck to fish and pork.
No one knew that it was all thanks to Song Yan, the leader of the "wo" team.
Theme: Always keep hope and face life with optimism
The blind box card drawing system in the early part of the article and the rhythm of the waves of natural disasters are well grasped. The character settings are full of personality, novel and interesting. The interaction between the group portraits is particularly fun. The connection and mutual help between people, personal and social relationships, the abundance of small love and big love, these are all described very well, rigorously and meticulously, and because there are enough details, it feels very real. The only fly in the ointment is that the later main line, the stall to save the world, is too big, and many foreshadowings cannot be taken back. The later writing is too rough, unlike the early stage, which is neat, rigorous and beautiful. The later details have too many holes and contradictions, which are difficult to justify and cannot withstand scrutiny. As a result, the realism and rationality have declined, making it look unsightly. In the early stage, the blind box setting was very well written, and this is one of the highlights. I also personally visited the scene of the disaster. After the disaster, people rescued themselves, helped each other, fought, and exposed human nature. The depiction of this kind of world view is excellent. In the later period, in order to show the protagonist's personal heroism, the heroism was too strong and the description of the masses was ignored. The whole plot became very suspended and unable to be grounded. The outstanding ones are similar to the blind box system, which has become very pale and marginalized. It is equivalent to writing things that are not good at all the time, and giving up the outstanding and attractive features that have been mastered. I think this can be improved in the selection of writing. Overall, the flaws are not concealed, the writing ability is very strong, and overall it is still very good-looking. But the ending is also very important for an article. Well, there aren't many highlights at the end, and the scene drags on for too long, which affects the rhythm and enjoyment of the entire article. An excellent work does not necessarily have to have a grand narrative. It can make the most basic dishes well, or make a small cake beautifully. This time it is a classic. There is no need to sublimate everything. Nowadays, there are too many clichés with sublimated endings.
At the end, I felt like I had a lump in my throat. Why is there no extra story about the protagonist? I really want them to meet again.
The ending was somewhat disappointing, and the matter between the skeleton and the father was not clarified.
I read it all in one go! I was very moved and a little sad.
It feels so strange when I write it. I can't say what's good or bad about it.
Is this the ending?
Finished reading! The ending is a bit sad, woo woo woo woo
It's a little sad, I want to watch Qiao Anwan's interstellar episode
The ending is indeed a bit rushed
Obviously he has no CP, but he secretly wants to see her fall in love
