One day, her doomsday nightmare became reality. The System descended. Steel jungles collapsed, ancient forests returned, mutated plants and animals appeared one after another, and dense fog began consuming every living thing. Shen Zhuohua stared at the [Beginner's Guide to Potion Making] she'd drawn. It was glowing red. Shen Zhuohua, who was a potion maker in the "Nightmare World": "..." Guess she's back to her old ways. What should she do when making potions costs so much? She'd just have to make something out of nothing, like before. So she frantically gathered potion ingredients, all so she could become the richest potion maker. While everyone else slept, she made potions. While everyone else ate, she made potion bottles. While everyone else rested, she gathered ingredients and prepared to make potions. · Not long afterward, all kinds of strange questions began circulating on the safe-zone forums. #Do you know that stingy potion maker?# #Do potion makers not earn money?# #Do potion makers all gather their own ingredients?# #Do potion makers really not need to sleep?# #That potion maker makes money, and I'm really not jealous. She's working her ass off. She was still replying to me in the middle of the night.# · Reader's Guide: 1. [Potions] + [Apocalypse] + [System] + [My Own Brand of Cthulhu] + [Cards] 2.

Go check it out if you're interested~ Title: Apocalypse: Infinite Survival He Xiangfeng was struck by lightning. After she woke up, the world had changed completely before her eyes. The hospital bedside table displayed a lifespan and would be scrapped in two months. A fruit basket someone had brought in would expire in three days. The nurse who came in to change her dressing would die in ten days. The man who followed her in would die at He Xiangfeng's hands. Wait, what? Her hands? Then He Xiangfeng realized that she also had a death timer. The difference was that her own death date was only three days away. Three days later, the man who'd been stabbed in the stomach with a fruit knife lay lifeless on the floor. A gold coin floated above the corpse, clearly proclaiming itself as loot. Then it flew into He Xiangfeng's body and successfully bound itself to a player System. Her? A player? Before she could think it through, she realized the death timer hadn't stopped. She had only ten days left. After studying the System, He Xiangfeng discovered there was only one way to increase her lifespan. [1. Recharge with gold coins.] Ways to earn coins included, but weren't limited to, [completing quests], [taking kill contracts], [trading], and so on. But none of these sources of gold were reliable. For her, leaving her life in an unstable state would be extremely irresponsible. So He Xiangfeng set her sights on becoming a [dungeon master]. As long as she bound a dungeon and sold tickets, she'd earn an endless stream of coins, provided the dungeon was popular enough. It wasn't easy. But He Xiangfeng didn't see it that way. If she owned enough dungeons, she wouldn't have to worry about not earning enough gold to buy more time. The more money she had, the more life she'd have! Money was her life! So she embarked on a road of no return. [Plague: Kindergarten] bound! [Heat Wave: Zoo] bound! [Information Virus: Game Factory] bound! [Mutation: Frozen Food Factory] bound! [Cold Spell: University of Science and Technology] bound! · The people who had to enter dungeons to obtain basic survival supplies stared thoughtfully at He Xiangfeng, who had the most dungeons on the leaderboard. How on earth did she do it? Only a perfect clear with 95% participation gave you a chance to bind a dungeon! Still, they all agreed on one thing: if they joined the same dungeon as her, they didn't have to worry about failing to clear it. #He Xiangfeng# #Is money He Xiangfeng's life? I've never seen her give any away.# #Report! He Xiangfeng has gone to a new dungeon again!# #Livestream! He Xiangfeng's perfect play!# #Sometimes I really think she's an NPC. No, an emotionless dungeon-clearing tool.# #It's hard to imagine how rich she is.# Reader's Guide: 1. NPC + Apocalypse + My Own Brand of Cthulhu + System + Cards. 2.
