Disaster Survival Begins at the Swimming Pool

[Upcoming novels: Survival in the Clouds Starts with Farming and Running a Convenience Store in a Calamity-Ravaged World. Blurbs at the end. Add them to your favorites if they sound interesting!]

Wen Xia is suddenly pulled into a scorching wasteland world. Her relaxing summer vacation on a tropical island is instantly transformed into a world where everyone must survive in the desert.

Scorching radiation, toxic pollution, mutated beasts running rampant... As far as the eye can see, there's nothing but yellow sand. The entire Blue Star doesn't have a single drop of seawater, let alone rivers or lakes.

And the System has the nerve to say: Want to survive? Then work hard to restore the ocean!

Half-dead from the heat, Wen Xia opens her backpack with trembling hands:

[Obtained: 1 small swimming pool. Would you like to place it?]

Wen Xia: ?

How does this have anything to do with the ocean?

But she's already here, and it's the New Year, and she's still just a kid... As she watches her sanity approach the point of mutation, Wen Xia grits her teeth and starts running the swimming pool.

[Served 3 visitors. Unlocked: [Coconut Ice Cream]. Enjoy 6 hours of cooling relief.]

[Served 100 visitors. Upgraded to: [Luxury Swimming Pool]. Restored 70% of your sanity.]

[Served 1,000 visitors. Unlock: [Desert Oasis], [Ocean], [Polar Ice Island], [Giant Panda Habitat]...]

Wen Xia opens her eyes every morning and gets straight to work, transforming the desert wasteland into a stunning seaside resort island.

Before she knows it, she's become the world's most powerful lord.

Who says management-game players are all useless?

When it comes to saving the world, we're the professionals!

[Reader's guide]

1. The male lead appears late. Romance makes up a relatively small part of the story; the main plot follows the female lead's daily life running her island resort.

2. Game inspirations: Kairosoft's Summer Water Park Story and Tropical Resort Story, and Dragon Quest Builders 2. Island-building is the best!!

3. That's about it. Wishing you all happiness every day `(*∩_∩*)′

Running a Convenience Store in a Calamity-Ravaged World

Luo Sang inherits a convenience store, only to be dropped straight into the game Calamity Survival.

Acid rain, frozen earth, extreme heat, insect plagues...

One after another, apocalyptic disasters strike, reducing the human world to ruins.

The System announces excitedly: Go run your dream convenience store on top of the ruins!

Luo Sang looks at the completely empty shelves and is just about to ask where to get stock when a sudden gust of wind blows open the broken back door, revealing a farm overgrown with weeds.

Luo Sang: "...?"

This is ridiculous. I've never heard of a shopkeeper having to grow rice just to sell instant noodles!

Fine, I'll recruit some employees and get them to help.

[Congratulations! You killed a mutated wild boar and unlocked a product: [Pigskin Raincoat]. You don't have to fear being corroded by acid rain anymore.]

[Congratulations! You cultivated high-quality rice and unlocked a product: [Delicious Instant Noodles]. You don't have to worry about going hungry anymore.]

[Congratulations! You built an apocalyptic shelter and unlocked 3 employees. You don't have to do the farm work yourself anymore.]

[Warning: The next disaster, the Frozen Earth World, is coming soon!]

[Host, please prepare.]

Luo Sang rejoices and immediately puts out the warming table and self-heating mini hot pots she's been stockpiling.

Wonderful! Now we can sit around the fire and eat watermelon!

Survival in the Clouds Starts with Farming

When Hua Xu wakes up, she finds herself sleeping on a cloud.

The fluffy white clouds look warm, but they're very drafty. She lies there for only a little while before she gets so cold that she starts sneezing.

[Welcome to the multiplayer survival game, Survival in the Clouds.]

[Your beginner weapon has been issued. Build a shelter within three days to protect yourself from the calamity disasters ahead. Good luck.]

In the game channel, some people get slingshots, while others get assault rifles.

Sharing: Shoot the balloons in the sky to claim supplies.

Only Hua Xu stares at the "weapons" in her hands, lost in thought.

[Congratulations, you obtained: 1 beginner hoe.]

[Congratulations, you obtained: 1 bottomless water flask.]

[Congratulations, you obtained: 1 magical seed.]

Hua Xu, a head full of question marks: "Am I supposed to farm in the sky?"

A few months later, the game reaches its final tally.

Hua Xu defeats every combat-focused player and claims first place with a score far ahead of everyone else. She is invited to deliver an acceptance speech to the entire server.

Hua Xu thinks for a moment. "Maybe... because I'm really good at farming?"
