Meng Ran opened her eyes and suddenly found herself bound to the Apocalypse System. Zombies howled in the streets, and her safehouse had leaks on every side.
She opened the forum built into the System and browsed a few popular posts, but couldn't make much sense of them. So she made a post of her own, asking for survival tips suitable for beginners.
Veteran, Lv. 312: “Don't rush into dungeons, don't go to places with few people, and don't pick up every piece of trash.”
But Meng Ran did all of those things.
A month later, the post suddenly hit the front page. One user commented: “Holy crap, how did a newbie reach Lv. 1354 in a month? Isn't it only possible to level up once a day?”

Little did anyone know that Meng Ran, who had picked up trash and a cat, held back for two days before finally messaging Veteran, Lv. 312, on the third day to invite them to team up for a dungeon.
The veteran arrived at the scene and was instantly stunned. This wild horse hadn't just brought its whole family along, either. The mission point was on the 28th floor, the elevator had no power, nobody had come by in nearly 52 days, and even the zombies stayed away.
Meng Ran: “The cat wanted to come.”
This nightmare dungeon was full of distorted space and looping corridors. The positions of doors and windows changed every time you blinked. Turn around and your teammate's head might roll to your feet. To make it out alive, they had to uncover the truth behind the haunted house.
Everyone pitched in, and after great effort, they completed the mission. But in the end, their reward was a pile of trash.
Meng Ran: ?
Three days later, an ordinary nail worth 1 gold rose in price to 8,888 gold. Meng Ran had all 98 ordinary nails, and so began her cat-powered journey to fortune!

On Day 30, a golden announcement appeared at the top of everyone's homepage:
“Congratulations to [Wala Wala] for breaking the record and unlocking the titles [Dungeon War God], [Stockpiling Magnate], and [Infrastructure Maniac]!”
The global forum exploded with highlighted hot posts:
“Rational discussion: Is the System bugged if someone reaches Lv. 1354 in a month?”
“Who is Wala Wala? Spill the details!”
“Begging Rich Sis to livestream an unboxing! Can the top-ranked player buy a power station?”
At the center of the storm, Meng Ran lounged in a warm, comfortable four-story house, eating hot pot, drinking milk tea, and petting her cat, while casually blocking more than 9,999 requests to be carried.
The apocalypse went on forever, and she'd just found a little fun in it.
