A System Guide to Running a Business in an Ancient Age of Calamity

On her way to take the CET-6 exam, Lu Shuning was hit by a car and sent flying into the air, yet, strangely, she didn't feel any pain.

When she opened her eyes in a daze, the concrete road and traffic lights that had been in front of her were all gone!

She had transmigrated into a thirteen-year-old girl in an unknown ancient dynasty, fleeing disaster with her clan. After days of arduous travel, the girl's face was ashen and she was little more than skin and bones. Both her parents were dead, and she had only her ten-year-old brother and seven-year-old sister to depend on.

Just as she worried about how her family of little ones would survive...

[Ding! Congratulations, player. You are now bound to the Disaster-Era Self-Rescue System. Spend 6 wen on your first recharge and receive a special gift!]

Lu Shuning: A first recharge??? Is that really what a golden finger is supposed to say?

With pockets emptier than her face was clean, Lu Shuning angrily slapped her thigh!

[Ding! Player defeated a mosquito. Experience +1, copper coin +1.]

Well, um...

[Please get ready. Time until the drought strikes: 14 days, 23:59:59.]

Because the System came with a "natural disaster countdown" feature, Lu Shuning, who had transmigrated into an unknown dynasty, had no choice but to stockpile food, grow stronger, and build the "starter village" chosen by the System: a deserted city from the previous dynasty, hidden deep in the mountains!

Natural disasters were occurring one after another across Dayuan, while the new emperor was incompetent. The people who could no longer survive packed up their few belongings and fled in every direction.

But all of Dayuan was in ruins. Just as they were about to despair, they came upon a city of immortals.

Food that grew rapidly despite the disasters, a self-service supermarket with no staff, and jobs that could earn them enough to support themselves!

They were saved!

P.S.

1. The story focuses on natural disasters: droughts, locust plagues, floods, and blizzards.

2. The dynasty is fictional. The female lead won't reveal her connection to the city.

3. A relatively slow-burn, very long story.

[Seeking bookmarks for the upcoming novel: Opening a Seaside Market by Collecting Compendium Entries]

Yang Siyue died of a heart attack and transmigrated as A Yue, a fisherman's daughter in an unknown dynasty.

With both parents dead and her family dirt poor, what could be more miserable?

But Yang Siyue was content. At least she had been given a second chance at life and a reasonably healthy body.

Most importantly, she had also acquired a market compendium System. Collect enough entries for plants and animals, and she could unlock market goods.

The fishing villages along the coast discovered that a strange market had appeared at sea. It operated aboard a large ship and could move around.

People could buy all kinds of things rarely found by the coast, including clean fresh water, fresh fruit, milk, cloth, and spices.

There were also things they had never heard of before, such as biscuits and instant noodles.

Best of all, the prices were reasonable, and they could even barter. The fish they risked their lives to catch at sea could fetch a much better price, too!

When busy, Yang Siyue opened the market to customers; in her free time, she went fishing herself. She no longer had to worry about triggering a heart attack through strenuous activity or eating the wrong things, and enjoyed a leisurely, comfortable life.

What about pirates?

The System's defenses are no joke. If they dare come, they'll get a taste of my cannons!
