I Buff My Teammates in the Wasteland

On the high-speed train home for summer break, Lu Huailing accidentally enters a game world.

A wasteland blanketed in blowing sand, a jungle where the plants have withered, ruins bristling with steel. In the deserted city, roads long neglected crack apart, and abandoned metal cars are overgrown with ivy.

Humans have built city-states on this land, huddling in a corner of it. Here, Lu Huailing receives a brand-new identity: a Level I member of the City-State Guard. Finding clues to clear the game and return to reality is now an urgent matter.

Fortunately, the game System assigns her teammates and a special talent: [Adaptive Buff Machine].

Unfortunately, her talent seems rather unreliable.

While defending herself, [Item: katana receives a buff, length increases by 39 m].

Staring at the 40-meter-long sword in her hands, Lu Huailing fell into deep thought.

While escaping, [Item: car receives a buff, speed x2].

They raced for their lives through the city ruins, until the tires could no longer take the strain and were completely wrecked.

While fighting monsters, [Teammate Lian Zhou receives a buff, hearing x5].

Lian Zhou covered his ears in agony. “I liked that length-increase buff better.”

“?”

“I meant shooting range.”

“Oh.”

At the point of despair, Lu Huailing accidentally hit a switch.

[Adaptive Buff Machine] successfully transformed into [Custom Buff Machine].

[Teammate Lian Zhou receives a buff, charm +100].

The mutant flies that had been attacking Lian Zhou stopped moving, rubbed their front legs together, and began blowing pink bubbles above their heads...

With her heart turned to ash, Lu Huailing pulled herself together again. She didn't want to coast to victory. She wanted to lead her team through the game!

Reader's guide:

1. The story is entirely fictional and unrelated to reality, set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

2. The plot comes first, with a romantic storyline.

3. The heroine's talent is mainly supportive, but she can fight on her own and is no damsel in distress. Her talent doesn't come too early.

A reserved novel in my collection: After Becoming My Nemesis's Accessory. The blurb is as follows.

Xuan He died.

Xuan He came back to life.

Unfortunately, she went from being the illustrious senior sister of Yanshan to a human toddler who couldn't care for herself.

Even more unfortunately, she was struck by a forbidden spell and forced to bind herself to Ling Zhao, her nemesis in life.

If the two of them got more than five feet apart, their spiritual power would drain away, leaving them in unbearable pain.

To make life easier from then on, Xuan He resolved to endure humiliation and keep her identity secret, becoming an inconspicuous accessory at Ling Zhao's side.

Before she regained her freedom, she absolutely could not blow her cover!

However, during this time, she noticed that the way Ling Zhao looked at her seemed to be getting stranger and stranger...

*

As the successor to the greatest sect under heaven, Ling Zhao was noble and radiant, exceptionally talented, and his path of cultivation had always been smooth.

Until one day, an infant of unknown origins appeared by his side.

If he got even a little too far away from her, the spiritual power in his body would pour out like floodwaters through an opened sluice, bringing unbearable pain. He could only stay by her side every day, never leaving her.

To break their bond, he traveled far and wide with a little tagalong in tow.

As time went by, he realized that this pretentious little tagalong looked more and more like someone from his past...
