Collecting Rent in a Disaster-Stricken World

(Updated at 9 p.m.) Ning Xiao died of cancer, but unexpectedly became bound to a rental System. Since there was no going back to her original world, she began traveling through various disaster worlds to complete the System's missions, collecting rent and building shelter cabins. In cities ravaged by heavy snow, she built ice houses that were warm and comfortable inside. In cities occupied by mutated beasts, she raised treehouses that were both delicately designed and able to keep the beasts at bay. In cities swallowed by the sea, she built stable, safe houses on the water. In cities overrun by zombies, she built one fortress after another, fortified like iron walls and copper ramparts. The survivors discovered that the rent for these houses was modest, yet staying in them could keep them alive in all kinds of disaster worlds. Those teetering on the brink of death began praying ceaselessly for the miraculous landlady to appear. (The male lead is just set dressing.)

Time to take charge! Only, the luxurious five-story hot pot restaurant from the game had turned into a rickety wooden shack with just two old tables and chairs inside. Even the selection of dishes and soup bases was pitifully small. Jiang Ci was dumbfounded. How was she supposed to play this? The System issued its first mission: "Serve five customers to unlock sliced beef." Jiang Ci looked outside at the empty street, where only zombies wandered past: "..."
