When Qi Yuan woke up, he discovered that he had transmigrated, and was bound to the Classic of Mountains and Seas he had read before bed.
Qi Yuan: Why are my stats so low? I look like I could kick the bucket at any moment.
System: Sorry about that. There was a bit of a bug just now, and it can't be fixed for the time being.
In a place like the apocalypse, only the strong survive. After being abandoned by his initial companions, attacked by zombies, and relentlessly chased by a mutated giant python, the System saw that Qi Yuan's health had dropped into the red.
System: Sigh. Is there anything you want to say before you die?
Qi Yuan: This world is so scary, but I see I have a summoning skill I can use. You're not so heartless that you won't let me use it, are you? You wouldn't, right? Right?
System: ...Fine. Use it.
A flash of white light appeared, and a plump, fluffy white ball emerged. It looked like a deer and a fox at the same time, and had two horns on its head.
System: If summoning an electronic pet will make your death a little easier, then...
Fluffy Ball: Awooo! How rude! I am the auspicious beast Bai Ze!
System: ??
When the zombie horde, its members infected by the virus, attacked his former companions, they saw Qi Yuan strolling down the road atop a "deer" glowing with a soft light.
"You're still out here fooling around at a time like this? Just wait until you get eaten!"
They never expected that, in the blink of an eye, that "deer" would wipe out almost the entire zombie horde.
Qi Yuan: Oh, so you were using them for practice! I'm so sorry, but they were blocking my way. Still, I left you... a few hundred of them, so you can keep practicing.
His former companions turned around and saw that Qi Yuan had herded all the surviving zombies into a bunker.
Qi Yuan: Good luck!
His former companions: ...
His former companions were preparing to seize a refrigerated food warehouse. The other side had many guards, and the two groups were vastly mismatched in strength.
Just then, they spotted Qi Yuan on top of a nearby high-rise.
"The other side has heavy weapons, and a weakling like Qi Yuan..."
Before he could finish, a bolt of lightning struck and wiped out all the guards on the other side. A gigantic Azure Dragon appeared behind Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan: Oh, I didn't know this was what you wanted. I'm so sorry, but my Azure Dragon baby just loves cold things, and I can't talk it out of it. Why don't you go tell it yourselves?
His former companions: ...
His former companions ran out of ammunition and food and had nowhere left to turn, so they had no choice but to beg Qi Yuan for help.
Qi Yuan (smiling sweetly): Although I'd really like to take you in, my Bai Ze says...
Bai Ze: Awoooo~
Qi Yuan: It says it doesn't like you, but you can be fertilizer for the flowers in my garden.
His former companions, who had abandoned all sense of loyalty for their own benefit, tried to escape, but only belatedly realized they could no longer get out.
When the System came to check again whether Qi Yuan was still alive, it found him cuddling little Bai Ze and leisurely watching SpongeBob SquarePants. In the garden behind him, flowers of every kind were in full bloom, a beautiful sight.
System: Qi Yuan, you've done a great job growing these flowers, especially with the apocalypse making the environment so harsh...
Qi Yuan gave a small smile: ...It's the fertilizer that's good.
System: (shuddered)
Qi Yuan: Surely nobody would bully a weakling like me, right? Right? It's really hard for me to survive.
Bai Ze: Awoooo~
The System was sweating profusely: Boss, maybe take a look at the life you're living now before you call it hard?
1. The male lead is a scheming, sugar-coated type, so he isn't a good person in the traditional sense.
2. The male lead may have an abnormal train of thought, the main cast may go crazy, and the plot may be outrageous.
