Building a God, Starting with Growing Potatoes on a Wasteland Planet

My next book: [Doomsday Begins with the Dense Fog], a natural-disaster apocalypse story. Please add it to your collection!

Blurb:

After the laid-back civil engineer Chu Linxuan suddenly dies, he wakes up to find himself in the era of interstellar exploration.

The bad news: his start is disastrous. The powerful have stripped him down to a nobody at the bottom of society and exiled him to a barren planet to grow potatoes.

The good news: he comes with a development System, plus a whole team of outstanding advisors to help build a strong nation. The moment he sets foot on the barren planet, before he's even had time to settle in, a group of ragged, gaunt refugees rushes over and kowtows before him. "We respectfully welcome Your Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace!"

Chu Linxuan: ?

He looks down at the dazzling, orange-and-gold, rainbow-effect, epic legendary titles above their heads: [Eminent Ministers for All Time], [Pillars of the Nation], [Immortalized in the History Books], and more.

He is stunned on the spot.

What a deal: buy one, get ten free? Transmigrate and get a Great Tang starter pack, is that it? For crying out loud, all he wants is to lie flat and be a slacker!

-

But we're the people of Huaxia, with the soul of Huaxia. When it comes to building, we never give up.

Under their admiring gazes,

Chu Linxuan finds himself building roads in every direction, rolling out water projects, and making nuclear power the gold standard. Before long, he has become the most powerful ruler in the stars!

This is how later generations recorded his legend:

In the year 843 of the Star Calendar, founding emperor Chu Linxuan descended from the heavens, bringing countless miracles with him

He possessed the richest granaries in all the stars, drove away hunger, and made the land fruitful. With equality and strength, he brought hope and light to countless people trapped in desperate circumstances.

In a matter of months, he solved problems that had plagued the barren planet for centuries, turning it into a renowned utopia.

The greatest warrior, who could cleave the sea of stars with a single blow, was the invincible blade in his hand.

The schemer, whose near-demonic intelligence struck fear into countless hearts, was his eternally steadfast and loyal follower. Countless people spread his name of their own accord.

Even the haughty, arrogant head of the Federation had to treat him with fear and reverence, honoring him as a most distinguished guest.

There was no doubt: he had replaced the gods and become the new faith.

#An unserious little skit:

Years later, an interviewer asked:

"Esteemed Sir Chuste, what inspired you to embark on the path to godhood?"

Chu Linxuan

"I didn't want to at first."

"But they all called me Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

#A disastrous start, but the chosen savior

#No problem, watch me work

#Let's show the people of the stars what the Red Spirit is all about

Reader's guide:

The focus is on development and nation-building. Progress is the top priority, and there are lots of career-focused storylines.

Chuste is the Crown Prince's name, while Chu Linxuan is his real name. It's not a mistake.

Coming soon:

[The Apocalypse Begins with the Dense Fog]

After a dense fog rolls in, the apocalypse begins. The weather becomes unpredictable,

Natural disasters strike without end, and plants and animals mutate and evolve.

Zombies roam everywhere, and humanity's already fragile situation grows even worse.

After struggling through eight years of the apocalypse, Jian Chuan'an dies and opens his eyes six months before it begins.

Reborn with dual abilities already in hand,

Jian Chuan'an now knows the rules of evolution.

But more important than evolving

is first building a little world of his own that no one can take away.

Once his little world is ready, Jian Chuan'an doesn't hesitate to spend his savings.

He buys and stores the delicious food that won't be available after the apocalypse.

He buys and stores the warm clothes he won't be able to wear after the apocalypse.

And as for daily necessities that will be impossible to buy after the apocalypse, he stocks up on those too.

This time, even in the apocalypse, he will live a clean and dignified life.

He doesn't want to go through those miserable days of struggling to survive ever again.

*

When the apocalypse comes, Jian Chuan'an has plenty to eat and warm clothes to wear.

He shuts the door and enjoys a comfortable life of his own.

His only worry is that the leader from his past life lives next door.

The leader once helped him, so he can't watch him go hungry and half-naked.

The leader currently has all four limbs intact and clear eyes.

He doesn't sit in a wheelchair, glaring and cursing with a sinister expression.

Instead, after eating his fill, he even thanks Jian Chuan'an.

Since he can help, he might as well help a little.

Jian Chuan'an can't get used to the leader being so gentle, and keeps hoping he'll become independent soon,

so he won't have to involve Jian Chuan'an in everything.

But every time Jian Chuan'an thinks he's finally done his part and can bow out,

the leader appears from a corner with a ledger in hand.

"On X day of X month, I took two of your cold pills."

"On X day of X month, I ate one whole rice ball of yours."

"On X day of X month, I drank a bottle of your mineral water."

Jian Chuan'an is speechless. "What are you trying to say, boss?"

The leader puts away the ledger and opens his arms.

"Debts must be repaid. It's only right and proper."

"I'm here to pay you back."

Reader's guide:

The protagonist is strong, and after awakening his abilities, he becomes a bit of a conceptual god. He has dual abilities.

The story is mainly about enjoying a peaceful life in the apocalypse, with some battles against mutated beasts and zombies.

The romance develops in the middle and later parts.
