Going Live Across the Stars: Thriving Through the Famine

The Yan Kingdom is suffering a severe drought, and not a single crop has survived. To avoid being sold to a brothel, Wen Nian fled to the hills behind her village, where she unexpectedly found a battered metal ball.

[Beep, beep! Warning, warning! Damage detected, damage detected! Binding Host, binding, binding... Repairing, repairing...]

She bonded with a damaged System. It needed repairs, and she needed food, so they hit it off and immediately started an interstellar livestream.

To her surprise, she managed to trade a wild weed for a nutritious meal replacement.

Her whole family was saved!

No water? Start a livestream and trade an egg pancake for a water-vapor collector.

A sudden epidemic? Go live and trade a handful of wild chrysanthemums for medicine.

Whatever the problem, she starts a livestream, keeps trading for interstellar goodies, and gets to face-slap her awful relatives. Life just keeps getting better.

The emperor is incompetent, fighting has broken out all across the land, and bandits are coming down the mountain to loot this remote village. Wen Nian stops holding back.

She whips out a laser gun and blasts them all away.

With interstellar livestreaming in hand, she can have everything in the world!!!
