I Used Science and Infrastructure to Save All of Humanity

Chen Sui never even dreamed that she would be woken up by comments from the future, with a billion people begging her to save the world.

As for agreeing to save the world, she was more or less forced into it.

An asteroid impact would destroy the surface, so she would build an underground shelter where humanity could live.

Since crops couldn't grow, she would have to run underground experiments simulating the surface ecosystem, so humans and other creatures could live healthy lives below ground.

Considering the virus that would destroy humanity in the future, she began developing a vaccine for everyone.

Bombarded by a billion people from the future, Chen Sui had to grit her teeth and study biology after chemistry, then physics after biology.

That would have been bad enough, but the idealized version of her world-saving experiment was quite different from reality!

Building an underground shelter was fraught with difficulties. The first and foremost problem was that soil and heavy objects couldn't be moved. Gritting her teeth, Chen Sui experimented until she developed a subatomic particle that could alter the distance between atoms, compressing molecules and shrinking the soil and heavy objects that couldn't be moved.

Thinking about supplying power to the shelter and the energy future humans would need to survive, Chen Sui gritted her teeth and built an arc reactor.

For the sake of a good living environment for future humanity, she kept her head down and worked hard to build a magnetic train line spanning the entire underground world.

When disaster struck and humanity survived, Chen Sui touched her hair and was glad she hadn't gone bald.

Chen Sui: You probably won't believe me, but I really was just an ordinary wage slave living paycheck to paycheck. I simply saw a light in the darkness and bravely faced a moment in my life.

-----Upcoming Novel Blurb-----

The next novel will be Underworld Livestream: Watched by the World! [Supernatural]

After the Underworld is rebuilt, Le Jia, one of the underworld enforcers tasked with restoring order, is reincarnated in the human world to capture the dead who linger among the living.

To rack up achievements as efficiently as possible and get promoted and a raise sooner, Le Jia works herself to the bone, running around every night and livestreaming her ghost hunts. She shouts out advertisements: "Ghost hunting is my profession. My contact info is at the top of the screen. If you need help, contact me first. I'm available anytime."

Seeing this, netizens sneer and curse at her, condemning her for going to such shameless lengths to get famous and rack up views. It's incredibly off-putting.

Until they see...

"Holy crap! I was watching the livestream and got some gossip right at my own doorstep? Isn't that place on screen my hometown? Why is the neighbor girl who drowned when we were kids there? Why is she crossing a bridge I've never seen before? And why did she drink a bowl of soup?"

"Wasn't Le Jia just in the village upstairs a second ago? How did she teleport right to my front door the next second? The person in her livestream... looks like the auntie next door who disappeared three months ago! She actually died? And she says her husband was the murderer???"

Millions of netizens were stunned!

So this whole livestreaming her ghost hunts in the Underworld thing... wasn't special effects? It was real!

And when she said she was available anytime, she wasn't bragging!

I Created an Empire After Entering a Lord Game

Night fell, and it was time for Master Le, whose schedule was as twisted as the Underworld's, to get to work. The moment she opened her livestream, hundreds of millions of netizens flooded in, filling the screen with "666."

One day, among all the "666s," a bunch of strange comments suddenly appeared.

"Hello, Master Le. I'm in a country thousands of miles away. My grandmother has been watching your livestreams for a long time. She has a wish: she hopes Master Le will personally take her away when she dies. Could you come?"

"Could the person above give me a turn? I want to ask if Master Le can come here. We have an evil spirit who's committed several horrifying murders, and the local mediums and witches can't deal with him. Could Master Le take him away first and send him to the Eighteenth Level of Hell?"

Yan Cang, the newly appointed King of Hell, thought: After the great calamity, heaven and earth have changed in countless ways. Gods and humans have all been reincarnated, and divine offices reassigned. If Le Jia accumulates enough merit soon, she can regain her divine office and once again serve as a judge of the Underworld.

The first time: Le Jia brought back a pile of ghosts.

Yan Cang: Not bad.

The second time: Besides human ghosts, Le Jia brought back a few pig demons.

Yan Cang: Hm? That's fine too. After all, the six paths of reincarnation include the Underworld, where pig demons must also be judged.

The third time: Le Jia brought back a few foreigners.

Yan Cang: ? Wait, he needs to check whether foreign ghosts need visas to enter the Underworld!

The fourth time: Le Jia brought back a few foreign pig demons...

Yan Cang: ...

*Updates are guaranteed. Come on in!

[The Lord Game has begun. Plundering begins in one week. Those who fail will be eliminated. Strength is your only way to survive.]

When Bai Yue woke up, a cold, mechanical game announcement sounded in her ears. Behind her stood a shabby thatched hut, a patch of weedy land, two low-tier workers, and a set of simple beginner tools.

In the distance was a thick fog, marked "Undeveloped Territory."

Exploring new lands, developing wastelands, fortifying her home, and leveling up as fast as possible were Bai Yue's only ways to prepare for the other lords' plunder in a week.

Besides that, the natural disasters periodically unleashed by the game System and the evil forces invading her territory were all difficult tests that threatened her survival.

Bai Yue hurried to work, preparing to upgrade her territory, when she suddenly realized that something about it seemed different.

Strange prompts floated above everything she saw.

(Low-Tier Green Grass: Woven into shoes, it can increase movement speed.)

(Golden Spirit Grass: Eating it can boost energy and speed up labor.)

(Top-Quality Soil: Ordinary plants can grow to top quality when planted in it.)

(F-Rank Worker: If the lord gives this worker a beautiful appearance, they can lure enemy troops into a counterattack.)

Bai Yue: I get it!

*

The first plunder and elimination began. The neighboring lord charged straight toward Bai Yue's territory with his own, eager to plunder it.

But...

The soldiers he'd worked so hard to upgrade and exchange for rebelled on the spot, and the house he'd built crumbled like an egg hitting a rock.

Before the battle even began, he could only watch as his own territory was plundered instead.

Not long after, another lord launched an attack...

And Bai Yue's territory grew even bigger.

Bai Yue: ...I didn't do anything... Does anyone believe me?

*

After learning the hidden information about all things, Bai Yue started diligently being a good lord: upgrading her workers, expanding her land, working hard to farm, building her home, and growing her territory.

She also plundered and gobbled up territories that were practically handed to her. Life was simple and carefree.

Until one day, someone knocked on the gate of Bai Yue's territory...

A strange lord, leading a huge territory, said politely, "Are you Lord Bai? I'm here to join you."

Bai Yue: ???

*

Bai Yue: Do you believe me when I say that I never intended to have a boundless territory, countless nearby islands, and more worker lackeys than I can count, let alone build an empire in the Lord Game? It wasn't my personal choice at all!

#The story of how I was forced to take in a bunch of lackeys#
