A Mechanic's Survival Guide [Global Survival]

****Check out the new novel, Horror Game Universal Manual [Infinite]!****

Synopsis:

#Survival for All + Building and Development + Game Mechanics + Entirely Fictional World#

Lin Xia's usual weekend as an overworked office worker: work overtime revising designs, stock up on groceries, go home, lie flat, and play games.

But reality loaded her into hell mode instead.

The promised survival game turned into a real-life survival game, and she was abducted on her way to work.

There were no guide NPCs, and she even had to bring her own beginner weapon.

Game: [Choose a career path: Combat (Recommended) / Lifestyle (High Risk)]

She stared at Combat, then tapped the latter option, changing to the unique class: Mechanic.

While everyone else was chopping down trees with their bare hands, she was dismantling doors and walls.

From then on, Lin Xia's path to survival went further and further off course. She dismantled and assembled things, and even sold weapons and offered repairs on the side.

After the first map upgrade, several forum posts about Lin Xia's shelter set the forums ablaze:

[Super Shelter Spotted in District 0076!]

[Comparing the Attacks of Laser Crossbow Turrets and Top-Tier Archer Players]

[Big Shot Publicly Selling a Railgun, M for Group Orders]

After surviving the final wave of beasts, Lin Xia finally got her chance to clear the game.

She looked at the unruffled final boss on the other side and refused without hesitation.

Since she'd made it this far, she might as well go all out!

###Synopsis of the New Novel Below###

Before bed, Shen Qianhe swore for the 108th time to quit her bad habit of staying up late to binge-watch shows.

But clearly she hadn't quit for good. Otherwise, why would she open her eyes to find herself seated in a classroom, forced to take an exam?

Exams were her most hated nightmare, bar none!

Wait... Something was off about this dream.

The rusted fan creaked, and beads of blood seeped from the math equations on the blackboard.

"Ding! Welcome, rookie survivor Shen Qianhe, to the 'Haunted Classroom' instance!"

"Ding! Newbie benefits are now available. Drawing a beginner-exclusive item for you!"

"Ding! Congratulations, you've drawn the exclusive item, 'Horror Game Universal Manual'!"

Shen Qianhe gripped the palm-sized booklet that had appeared out of nowhere and opened to the first page:

[Holder: Shen Qianhe]

Race: Human (awaiting evolution)

SAN: 67/100 (a little chicken-hearted)

Ability: 5 (too weak to even wring a chicken's neck)

Items held: None (you poor thing, you'd better protect me)

Shen Qianhe's face flushed with rage as she read the descriptions after her stats. Fine, fine. So that's how you're going to play it.

There's a saying that's been passed around the horror game space for a long time:

Veteran survivor Shen Qianhe will always be your most reliable teammate.

Ghostly light rippled across the mirror like a tide. Shen Qianhe took out the manual, and delicate handwriting appeared on its blank page:

[Shadow-Eating Prison] (C-rank, capable of growth)

Traits: Stare into the mirror for more than 3 seconds to be marked as a "Candidate"; every shadow the Mirror Ghost devours increases its materialization progress by 20%; when the Mirror Ghost reaches 100% materialization, it can escape the prison and attack the "Candidate"; when a "Candidate" dies, they become a Mirror Ghost. (This is a good one. Let's snag it!)

Theme: Love life and cherish it.
