Nuclear Sea Catastrophe: My Little Shop Is a Hit Across the Stars

In Star Calendar Year 2099, the Qianju Empire suffered a severe nuclear leak.

When nuclear contamination spread into the ocean, it enraged the dormant will of the deep sea.

This was the turning point. Earthquakes, typhoons, torrential rain, volcanic eruptions...

Hera Star was plunged into endless natural disasters.

Later generations would call that year the [First Year of the Calamity].

In Year 10 of the Calamity, a great battle between humanity and the mutated broke out on the Xinla Coast.

Jiang Lian died in the battle. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to Star Calendar Year 2099.

With her came a strange trading System.

--

[Moderately mutated squid: 30 star coins/500 g]

[Moderately mutated man-eating shark: 60 star coins/500 g]

[Severely mutated king crab: 100 star coins/500 g]

Star coins could be exchanged for delicacies, weapons, and high-tech products from all kinds of planes, and even magical treasures for cleansing the marrow and cultivating immortality!

!!! Jiang Lian was ecstatic!!! But only for three seconds.

Jiang Lian stared blankly...

Jiang Lian hesitated to speak...

She had a Calamity System, but it was only the first year of the Calamity.

The mutated... the mutated were still delicious seafood!

Jiang Lian drooled uncontrollably!!!

She dashed out, using the System's 99 storage slots to stock up, even if it meant spending everything she had!

In Year 10 of the Calamity, a miraculous little shop appeared in the wasteland.

A deep-sea hunter had returned. By selling mutated sea monsters that were otherwise useless, people could exchange them for all kinds of supplies.

Every survivor worshipped the owner of that little shop with fervor. She was the savior of the Calamity, a god on this planet who must never be profaned.

In an interstellar store, a plane supermarket from Hera Star was doing exceptionally well.

Ultra-rare weapon material, mutated lobster shells: just one million star coins for 100 jin!

Ultra-rare medicine ingredient, mutated squid ink: just two million star coins for 100 jin!

Wholesalers from planes across the universe wept with joy: Who else gets it? Hera Star's people are so easy to fool. We're making a killing!

Meanwhile, Jiang Lian on Hera Star was also weeping with joy: Who else gets it? The space merchants are so generous. I'm making a killing!
