Zhu Shixia, an end-times ability researcher, transmigrated with a vial of ability-enhancing potion.
Bad news: She opened her eyes to find herself in close contact with insect beasts, experiencing high-speed thrills firsthand.
Good news: Her body absorbed the potion, awakening a man-eating flower as her companion beast.
After escaping the planet overrun by insect beasts, Zhu Shixia, an unregistered orphan, was assigned to the worst class at the Eighth Military Academy because she had awakened Blue Star's weakest plant-type mimic form, also known as a companion beast.
A month later, news kept pouring in from the usually bottom-ranked Eighth Military Academy.
Points at the underground arena were surging.
The number of insect races on planets within hundreds of miles had plummeted.
A student from an ordinary class had defeated the student who had always ranked first among the military academies?
The forums exploded, and someone spent a fortune digging into the reason.
Meanwhile, the culprit behind it all was sharpening her blade with her man-eating flower, ready to take on the insect beasts.
“Slurp. I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry.”
Zhu Shixia rubbed her flat stomach, wiped away tears of excitement, and charged at the insect beasts with shining eyes.
“Have you heard? There's no insect beasts left on the R418 wasteland planet, where they were going to hold the new students' placement exam.”
“Isn't that the wasteland planet Blue Star has designated as a Level Two hazard? Are you telling me that the planet crawling with insect beasts has no insect beasts left?”
“That's right. I hear the school administrators are urgently searching for another wasteland planet to use for the exam, but there aren't any near our academy, so they're borrowing one from another school.”
Zhu Shixia, who had just eaten her fill and was walking by with a burp, froze in embarrassment. She nervously took a step back, shocked to realize that she had eaten all the insect races on an entire wasteland planet!
Later on...
During the tournament, everyone was trapped. Insect beasts invaded, danger loomed, and everyone wept in despair.
Then one person and one flower saved them from disaster and wiped out the insect beasts around them.
Blue Star's mimics were everywhere, and insect beasts had run rampant for tens of thousands of years, keeping each other in check.
Everyone thought the balance would last, but one person and one flower swept away the insect beasts and broke it. The creatures were devoured and suppressed, and their numbers dwindled,
until one day, not a single insect beast remained on Blue Star.
Beautiful, kind-hearted, and fond of fighting (not really), Zhu Shixia x a full-mark self-deluding hopeless romantic (nods), Tan Yanci
[Reader's Guide]
1. There is a male lead. He's a background character early on, weaker than the heroine, and has little romance plot until later.
2. There are lots of original setting details. Apart from the main text, I'll explain them in detail in the author's notes.
3. Don't think too hard. This is pure wish fulfillment. Don't curse me, don't curse me, don't curse me!
4. You don't need to tell me if you're dropping the story. Let's just quietly come and quietly go.
5. I hope you all have a happy day!

Next book: Finding Trash While Surviving at Sea
[Welcome to Sea Survival. You have a new piece of trash. Please collect it.]
Global disasters struck without warning, with extreme cold and heat alternating frequently.
Lu Yuyin opened her eyes to find herself lying on a patch of damp ground. An impenetrable jungle surrounded her, and a mist-shrouded ocean lay ahead. A rusty fishing rod rested beside her, while a gigantic wheel appeared overhead.
The gray button on her character panel wouldn't switch. The land was just large enough for one person. Sea monsters stirred in the fog, and fresh trash floated all around her.
While everyone else avoided fresh trash, Lu Yuyin couldn't get enough of it.
A busted little bottle? Pick it up! It's all fresh water!
A ragged scrap of cloth? Pick it up! It's all top-quality clothes!
A rotten crate? Pick it up! It's all upgrade materials once broken down!
A frayed rope? Pick it up!
Damp soil? Pick it up!
Weird-smelling seaweed? Pick it up!
A leaky wooden bucket? Pick it up!
At first, Lu Yuyin only wanted to survive...
Theme: Start over, but keep learning well.
