A Stove from the Start [Survival]

Nine years into the apocalypse, Blue Star's weather is becoming more and more extreme. Scorching heat, bitter cold, and frequent acid rain are making it increasingly difficult for humanity to survive. Sirius, which claims to be a higher civilization, tore open a rift in space and officially invaded Blue Star, launching a game called "Road to Survival." Under the game's rules, six players are randomly selected from every country on Blue Star each month to enter the game and take on survival challenges, all broadcast live worldwide. If a player survives, their country receives an endless stream of benefits. If a player fails, their country is punished. After the apocalypse began, Nan Shu, who had no awakened powers and had spent nine years living wild in the mountains, found herself staring at the unfamiliar game environment, lost in thought. Every player entering the game received a beginner's gift pack. Nan Shu's beginner's gift was an all-purpose furnace, glowing red-hot. All-Purpose Furnace: Throw mud at me, and I'll grow you flowers~ Nan Shu tried tossing in a lump of mud. The furnace spat out a loaf of bread harder than her head. Undeterred, Nan Shu tossed in a rock. The furnace spat out half a steamed bun, harder than the rock, with a bite mark on it. Nan Shu: Maybe I should climb inside? Climbing inside was out of the question, so she could only try to see what else was around her. Before long, other players were being chased and bitten by monsters, with all kinds of dangers striking at any moment. Nan Shu: Toss in mud, get seeds, grow wheat, grind flour, eat steamed buns, then toss in more mud and get spring water to make tea. What a lovely life~ An imaginary-world survival story. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first and only. Blurb screenshotted on 2025/2/19. 50% anti-piracy, 24-hour delay.
