Managing a Safe Resort in the Apocalypse

[Blurb]

Lin Xushi was a law-abiding, well-rounded college student. Just before graduation, one moment of bad luck got him hit by a car that ran a red light and sent him into a world of supernatural horror.

Red lights mean go, green lights mean stop; violate the subway signs and die... One bizarre rule after another, each defying common sense, played out in this world.

To stay alive and get home, Lin Xushi clung to his occasionally reliable starter item, a book that could determine whether rules were true or false, and struggled to survive within the bounds of each rule.

Then he accidentally took surviving a little too far.

...And became a model citizen in the world of supernatural horror.

-

“Welcome to your training as a model citizen.”

Lin Xushi looked at the collapsed bridge over the river blocking his way and gritted his teeth:

...You never intended to let me pass, did you!

“Please leave the subway within five minutes.”

Lin Xushi looked at the subway map, which resembled a nested Mobius strip, and fell silent:

...You expect me to get out of this place, more tangled than a ball of yarn, in five minutes?

“Please complete all the examinations in the hospital as listed on your physical exam form.”

Lin Xushi looked at the two pages of A4-sized examination items and the sky-high examination fees that were literally life-threatening:

...Who makes you trade your health for a physical exam?!

“Welcome to the driver's license test. The test you signed up for is: Subject Five.”

Lin Xushi was speeding through a closed mountain road to avoid falling rocks:

...If you want me to take the real-life Subject One test, just say so!

[Safe resort + apocalypse + natural disasters + leveling up + management + food]

When Qiao Ci woke up, she had transmigrated into an apocalypse game and was bound to a resort management simulation System.

With ten days left until the apocalypse began, Qiao Ci sat with her chin in her hand in a drafty wooden cabin, looking utterly defeated:

What resort? How could a few broken planks possibly hold up through the apocalypse?!

Still, to survive in an increasingly harsh environment, Qiao Ci set out to open a shop, attract customers, and expand her resort.

The apocalypse arrived. Zombies overran cities, acid rain poured down, volcanoes erupted, and extreme cold set in... People around the world struggled to survive through one disaster after another.

Then one day, while fleeing from zombies, people discovered a hidden paradise.

Through the mist stood three-story villas by the sea. Freshly prepared local delicacies were available in abundance, the outdoor pool was crystal clear, and natural hot springs steamed invitingly.

After a few seconds of doubting their eyes, the battered survivors erupted with excitement.

*

Qiao Ci's resort recently welcomed a large influx of customers. Thanks to several well-known streamers among them, the resort soon became an online sensation.

She took the opportunity to expand, extending her operations from the zombie city to the acid-rain zone, the foot of the volcano, the frozen wasteland...

Later on.

People in the acid-rain zone said Boss Qiao's resort had let them see a rainbow for the first time in their lives.

The villagers at the foot of the volcano said that even when molten lava erupted in the scorching heat, water could still freeze into ice at the resort.

Travelers in the frozen wasteland said the resort had given them their first taste of eternal warmth.

Later still, Qiao Travel became renowned around the world. After Qiao Ci received a Lifetime Honorary Title for creating countless miracles, she said in an interview:

At first, she just wanted to survive the apocalypse that would arrive in ten days...
