Stockpiling Supplies, Then Building Skyscrapers from the Ground Up

All of humanity is forced into the game Civilization, where they must play a game that begins with primitive civilization. Only by successfully unlocking the final technology tree can Earth be saved. While everyone else struggles to survive, Ye Miaomiao has just one wish: not to go hungry. What can Ye Miaomiao, the weak and helpless player who can do nothing, do to avoid going hungry? Grow crops and raise livestock like crazy, of course, and most importantly, stockpile supplies. Like a diligent little hamster, Ye Miaomiao gathers all kinds of resources into her territory, bit by bit, until one day, a quantitative change brings about a qualitative one. What? A drought has hit, and we're gnawing on grass roots. Meanwhile, the territory called "Hungry Hungry Hungry" has hot pot, barbecue, and luosifen every day? What? We just started building brick houses and haven't even had a chance to show them off, but "Hungry Hungry Hungry" is already building reinforced concrete homes and enjoying air-conditioning? What? Zombies are here, and we're shivering in fear, while the people from "Hungry Hungry Hungry" are chasing after them and even paying to buy zombies? Ye Miaomiao never expected that she would start out only wanting to stockpile food and avoid going hungry, then end up building towering structures from the ground up and becoming the lord of everyone. .

"Fantasy World Development Begins with Summoning Players" (Players as the Fourth Calamity + Western fantasy steampunk + development + wish fulfillment + everyone thinks the protagonist is a genius) Earthling Shi Luo transmigrates to a fantasy world filled with magical power. The good news is that she has become the beloved youngest daughter of a grand duke. The bad news is that her royal flush of an opening turns out to be a bust. After being diagnosed as a black mage, "born evil," in the morning, she is exiled to the Corrupted Lands to take up the post of lord by noon. Miserably hauling a cartload of potatoes, Shi Luo leaves the prosperous royal capital. Just as she is despairing and wishing she could start over, while drooling at the thought of fried chicken, she discovers that her black magic talent is... summoning players from Earth? As long as she summons players to expand her territory, she can gain an endless supply of magical power. . The Corrupted Lands are filled with crimson wasteland, where crops cannot grow and magical beasts run rampant. The people, barely surviving under the pressure of the wasteland, hear that their newly appointed lord is a walking calamity, a black mage whose talent is summoning bloodthirsty, evil mages. They all tremble in fear and prepare to move away. Who would have thought that as soon as the new lord takes office, she leads the evil black mages in planting potatoes and developing the land? The soil is barren? No problem. The players can drink mana potions and use magic to farm. Magical beasts are rampaging? Great! The players are just short on experience points and materials. The land is a wasteland? Even better! The players came to this game for one thing: to grind! Working 24/7 in a game isn't called having a job, it's called enjoying life! Starting with the first barrel of potatoes shipped out of the magical town, trade routes gradually expand, from dirt roads to asphalt roads, from horse-drawn carriages to cars. These black mages, whose behavior is utterly ridiculous, protect their home as the Corrupted Lands gradually become a prosperous place where technology and magic coexist. Before long, it becomes a place everyone longs to visit. A reporter from the Golden Finch Gazette refuses to believe the stories and personally travels to the Corrupted Lands to investigate, never to return. When the newly appointed reporter finally ventures there with a pounding heart, they discover that their predecessor has settled down in the City of Magic. Towering buildings and brilliant neon lights; high-speed railways crossing the abyss and connecting to the People's Gardens built in the sky; fluorescent cocktails specially made by alchemists, and special cards that let even ordinary people use magic! The reporter stays up all night writing: "If this is what black magic is, then please let me devote myself to Miss Shi Luo's dark embrace!" Theme: Cherish life and love living.
