I Built a Swimming Pool in the Desert [Management]

System notification: 'Detected that the host has arrived at the target location. The Lord Management System has been activated. Unlocking building: Swimming Pool.'

Forced to transmigrate, Lin Nanxing found an abandoned outdoor swimming pool suddenly appearing before her. Feeling the unusually high temperature and the endless yellow sand, Lin Nanxing looked again at the pool before her that didn't even have a guardrail and was full of questions. Was this puddle really a swimming pool?

Furthermore, who would be stupid enough to open a swimming pool in the desert?

The Doomsday Game descended. Temperatures rose, global drought occurred, animals became monsters, plants gained sentience, and humans were forced to become players, moving underground and joining survival games. The water and food required for the human body could only be purchased through the system, unable to be planted or produced, making survival conditions extremely harsh.

After ten years of the game, people were exhausted just trying to stay alive, their emotions gradually falling into a state of collapse. Until one day, a team returning from an expedition brought back news that a swimming pool had appeared on the surface.

At that moment, the Doomsday Game began its countdown.

Water disappeared globally. The hardest hit were the surviving plants. Just as they were about to wither and die, they received news from their kind that in the distant East there was an oasis where the water was inexhaustible.

Hmm? There's such a good place? The dying plants pulled up their roots.

As the Star Territory continued to expand, Lin Nanxing subdued more and more plant spirits. A Banyan tree with invincible combat power, a Man-eating flower with its own space, a Clover that could turn into a fan, a Luminescent Mushroom with extremely strong reproductive abilities, a Cherry Tree with huge self-explosion power...

The territory was built larger and larger, and more plant spirits were collected. Lin Nanxing was confused.

Was she playing a Lord Management Game or a Plant vs. Zombie collection guide?

Pre-order recommendation: 'The Princess Who Doesn't Understand Romance (Rebirth).'

Business-minded Cat Princess vs. Love-brained Wolf General, a somewhat different arranged marriage to love.

Princess Changle, Shen Yao, was educated and rational, but she had a harmless little quirk: she favored those with outstanding looks.

Everyone knew that although there were many beautiful people, the Princess favored the gentle, elegant, and gentlemanly appearance the most.

General Zhenbei's grandson, Xiang Tingxuan, followed his grandfather to guard the borders from a young age. A Pingguan battle made him shine. When he returned to court, the moment his handsome face was revealed, he immediately became the dream lover of many noble ladies in the capital.

After entering the capital, Xiang Tingxuan acted contrary to his nature, wearing green robes and a white hat. Instead of looking like a general, he looked like a scholar.

Finally, in the palace, he saw the person he longed for. She sat on a sedan chair, looking down at him for a long time, and said with a smile, 'Little General, military attire suits you best.'

As the eldest legitimate daughter of Emperor Qing, Princess Changle, Shen Yao, should have lived a safe, happy, and smooth life. Unexpectedly, the final outcome was Emperor Qing dying of poisoning, the dynasty changing, and she and her maternal clan being accused of treason, turning from a palace treasure to a rat in the street.

The ethereal favor of an emperor was that fragile.

Before death, Shen Yao watched her husband support the pregnant new princess, who was also the cousin she had cared for, walking up to her. Only then did she suddenly realize the truth.

Everyone knew that at the Princess Changle's coming-of-age ceremony, she publicly fell into the water at the Qionglin Banquet, her looks were damaged, and she married the new Number One Scholar. After marriage, they respected each other and lived in harmony.

It turned out that all of this was a conspiracy from the very beginning.

After drinking the poisoned wine, at the very last moment before closing her eyes, Shen Yao only saw the youngest general in the country, clad in armor, covered in blood, tearfully and carefully holding her increasingly cold body in his arms. Then, he raised his long spear and committed suicide before her.

When Shen Yao opened her eyes again, it was the day the imperial examination results were announced, three days before the Qionglin Banquet.

'No Superpowers in Rebirth, But I Have a Safe House.'

A timid, lazy, hoarding type of little angel vs. a killing machine but wife-first demon king.

Ye Shiruo, as an ordinary person, surviving ten years after the zombie outbreak was already a miracle. But ten years of wandering made her exhausted. Until someone pushed her into a crowd of zombies, at the moment of death, her heart was only peaceful, and she even felt she could finally stop and rest.

Opening her eyes again, she returned to the day before the doomsday broke out. To no longer be an ordinary person waiting to be slaughtered, this time, she actively welcomed the object from the sky.

To become a superpower user or to become a zombie was only a thought away.

The expected severe pain struck. After a night of high fever, Ye Shiruo neither became a zombie nor gained a superpower.

Was the ten years of wandering from her previous life about to repeat?

Having lost the will to live, she looked at the door about to be broken through by the初级 zombies and planned to just wait for death.

However, a minute, ten minutes, an hour passed, the shaky door was never breached, and the zombies outside actually decreased.

Feeling that something was wrong, Ye Shiruo got up to check and found that her house was now glowing green, slowly devouring the attacking zombies.

Oh, she didn't get a superpower, but her house did?!

Ye Shiruo didn't get a superpower and had lost hope in life, but she found a new hobby: picking things up.

A betrayed Ice superpower user, picked up and used as a refrigerator.

An accidentally fallen Water superpower user, picked up and used as a power bank.

A lost mutated Giant Panda, picked up and kept as a pet.

A city leader besieged by zombies, picked up and used as a housekeeper.

A handsome guy trapped in a basement, picked up and used as a pretty boy.

Wait, why does this pretty boy look so familiar after washing up? Isn't this the notoriously infamous Great Demon King wanted by all bases in the previous life?!

Originally planning to sneak out and throw him away while he was still unconscious, before she could leave the safe house, the man suddenly opened his eyes. With a confused and naive look, he looked at her and said, 'Sister, you don't want me anymore?'
