Du Yu, a wasteland food critic, transmigrates into a cyberpunk novel as a namesake cannon-fodder character: a vicious bully exiled to a dump to die.
And the timing couldn't be worse: she's about to be killed by a mutant cockroach.
Du Yu, who prides herself on being the Wasteland's Number One Good Samaritan: ?
Good thing I still have a cheat ability :)
That's the one: the Anything Synthesis minigame!
Combine three items of the same kind to get a mysterious item of a higher grade!
Ignoring the strange looks, Du Yu keeps scavenging through the dump...
Three pieces of rotten wood? I'll take them! E-grade lumber, acquired.
A discarded mutant cockroach leg? Synthesize! A rock-hard Roach Club, incoming!
Poisonous mutant beast meat? Synthesize! A life-saving potion that tastes awful but restores health!
A damaged divine core? I'll pick it up...
Wait... did something weird get mixed in?
Looking at the pot before her, Du Yu happily gives up trying to figure it out.
Never mind. I should think about what to have for dinner instead :
Snowflake meat made from Eldritch God flesh and Deep Space Whispers,
or a lucky, delicious mushroom made from dream crystals and heartfelt blessings?
Damn, it's so hard to choose. An invincible life sure is lonely...
Wait, how did I become a god?
The original male lead, whose whole company got wrecked when he tried to hunt Du Yu down: ???
The villains, whose hideouts were all dismantled, right down to the doors: ...
The church spokesperson, who chased Du Yu halfway across the city with a speech about her ascension: )
#Don't ask why I'm scavenging. It's all the gods' will
#I treat Him as a god, but He just wants to be a ruthless boss
#If I jump into the trash can now, will God take me home?
A newly appointed god passing by: What's this? Trash? I'll pick it up.
The pope, suddenly hoisted over someone's shoulder: … Lord, I'm not trash QAQ

[Next book: On the Feasibility of a Top Salesperson Saving the Card World. Click to bookmark and help me launch it sooner qaq]
Her mother is missing, her sister is sick, and she's drowning in debt.
Because she's poor, Su Wanli chooses the most profitable profession, card maker, and races down the road to becoming a top seller.
After failing to awaken her soul card for the third time, she's about to go sell cards under an overpass when she suddenly draws a strange card numbered 199.
199 claims the world is a come-from-behind power fantasy novel, where all the supporting characters exist to prop up the protagonist. It keeps repeating in her ear:
We're all people, so why can't you be the protagonist? Do as I say and steal the protagonist's fortune, and you can become the star of a power fantasy too.
The protagonist of a power fantasy? Then he should have plenty of money, right?
At its urging, the Host is indeed tempted.
199 is feeling smug when it sees Su Wanli pause to think for three seconds, then head straight for the protagonist???
Hey, hey! Isn't it too early to go after the protagonist? We should be hatching some shady schemes behind the scenes first!
Su Wanli cheerfully ignores the strange card's shouting and steps right up to the transfer student, boldly pitching her wares:
"Hey, want to buy some star cards? They're premium, custom-made, and all handmade!"
Why would the protagonist want your ordinary, low-grade cards?!
199 rages helplessly, only to see the protagonist ponder for a moment, then buy every single one?!
So your plan was to sell low-grade cards and drain the protagonist's wallet? Host, was that part of your plan too?
The protagonist grows stronger while Su Wanli makes cards.
The protagonist wins people over while Su Wanli haggles with card-material dealers.
The protagonist tackles dungeons while Su Wanli pitches cards to the dungeon NPCs.
The Host doesn't care about the novel's plot at all. She makes cards as she pleases, then sells them however she likes.
It takes 199 only three days to go from full of ambition to utterly disheartened.
But can someone tell it why the protagonist keeps coming to the Host when she hasn't done anything?
The protagonist buys loads of useless low-grade cards, burns through his funds, and even hands over his whole wallet.
He joins the protagonist's team, shares in the protagonist's opportunities, and somehow replaces him as team leader.
Even at the protagonist's big moment in the story, Su Wanli is the one who steals the show.
199 slowly realizes that the Host has done nothing, yet the mission to steal the protagonist's fortune has completed itself?
But why is the protagonist even happier now that he's lost the opportunities from the original story?
Why has the world's will grown stronger now that the child of destiny has been nerfed???
The gifts of fate come at a steep price. After a string of disasters, Li Weiming loses heart and exiles himself.
Until one day, a girl suddenly steps in front of him to sell him something.
Tired of unexpected adventures, Li Weiming is about to turn her down when he hesitates: These cards... really do look like the lowest-grade standard star cards?

Before learning that the world was a novel, Su Wanli made cards, sold cards, and made cards.
After learning that the world was a novel, Su Wanli made cards, sold cards... and when she ran out, made more.
Apart from a weird card that keeps yelling, nothing changes in Su Wanli's peaceful card-selling life.
Until one day, Li Weiming suddenly hands her his soul card. She casually slips it into her pocket, and the strange card lets out a scream that nearly deafens her. Only then does Su Wanli belatedly realize something is wrong...
Did some strange voice just call itself the world's will and congratulate her for escaping a fate that led to the abyss, raising the world to a higher level and making her the author of the Book of the World?
Whatever... that's not important. Hey, friend, want to buy some cards?

Sure enough, the best way to solve the problem is to destroy all the gods.
Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~
AI with excessive self-awareness is as annoying as arrogance

Hiss 🍉, I always feel that the heroine has been pushed by fate, rather than taking the initiative
Oh yeah, there's an extra episode for my birthday!
I thought the original novel should focus on describing the "disappointment" of the supporting characters and the "dominance" of the protagonist🤔 So is it a memory expressed in the form of a novel?
Several of the ideas in the article have a very esoteric feel to them, such as lamps, moths, etc.
I didn't understand it... I couldn't remember the previous part... The content was lost from my smooth brain.
