The Little Food Cart at the Military Academy's Back Gate

Luo Mingge was the former marshal of the Levi Federation's military, while Luo Ning was born in a distant apocalyptic world.

So Luo Ning's only friend and comrade-in-arms is Ms. Luo.

Whatever Luo Mingge wants to do, Luo Ning, her mom's girl, will do.

The world is complicated, and their plan to save it boils down to playing dumb and launching sneak attacks.

Then Luo Mingge had a flash of inspiration: Go sell spicy hot pot by the back gate of the school.

Luo Ning: ...?

Luo Ning is a quiet person, and in unfamiliar places she has to hide her outlaw nature even more. To top it off, her powers were somehow classified as useless mental strength in this dump. I guess my fate is in no one's hands, not even heaven's...

Still, at least the students from the two schools may have hated each other for ages, brawled at every annual mecha competition, fought on the forums, and made a habit of sneak attacks, but there was one and only one zone of peace: her little food cart.

Because there were a few popular forum posts:

The current marshal arrived after hearing the rumors, looking at Luo Ning with a nervous expression. "Your father is...?"

Luo Ning: "My family situation is a little complicated. Long story short, my mom slept with another world's version of you."

Reader's guide: Updates follow the rankings when there's a ranking event; otherwise, I'll update like crazy.

This isn't a family drama, a food story, or a tournament story.

As the heroine gets to know the people around her, she stops pretending and lays it all on the table. She doesn't say much, but when she does, she gets straight to the point.

The entire setting is made up.

After going through the whole betrayal routine, Jiang Lan nearly lost her life in the jaws of a mutant.

When she opened her eyes again, a rundown little outpost had taken her in.

Jiang Lan wasn't about to play the tragic heroine. If there's no place for me here, there's somewhere else that will take me!

But if she stayed here, maybe she really ought to give it some thought...

Everyone here had either luck or skill, strength or brains. Most importantly, they couldn't agree on anything.

And their acting leader was a cripple who couldn't even leave the place.

Jiang Lan kept her powers hidden and pretended to observe in secret. This place was right in the heart of the pollution zone. How much longer could they survive?

She was already wondering when it would be best to leave.

Cheng Wang'an had known for a long time that people from the other side possessed all kinds of extraordinary powers, but he never let on.

Why be picky when someone that useful just fell into our laps? We have to treat her like royalty!

And besides, she was his crush from a long time ago.

So he leaned on his crutch, held out some freshly pulled weeds, and grinned at her.

"If you don't mind, you can stay."

Jiang Lan, with a cold expression: I mind.
