"System, I'm about to die."
This is Ruan Tian's first day in the apocalypse, and it will soon become her last day.
System: [As long as you find a target quickly, you won't die.]
Ruan Tian pointed to the zombies wandering around downstairs and said expressionlessly:
"How am I supposed to go? I'm just a food NPC! You want me to throw steamed buns at zombies' faces like crazy?"
System: […Host, I suggest you calm down.]
Ruan Tian: "Thanks, but can't I calm down? Or do you want me to use a baguette to pry open the zombie's head?"
Ruan Tian is an NPC in a food-themed game. When the game, which had been running for ten years, shut down, she was transported to another world.
These days, even NPCs can time travel!
But she never expected that she would be transported to a post-apocalyptic world, and that the original owner of this body had just been killed.
Ruan Tian calmed down, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and sat down on a small stool.
System: [In a post-apocalyptic world where food is scarce, you can cook delicious meals using your own restaurant—what an amazing cheat code!]
Ruan Tian was amused and annoyed. She slapped the small cart in front of her and said firmly:
"Have you ever seen a restaurant that uses a pushcart?"
After saying that, she added fiercely:
"And it's manual!"
The system stopped speaking and remained silent.
The sound of Ruan Tian slamming the table was so loud that it attracted the zombies downstairs.
She could only lower her voice and gradually regain her composure.
"I can only survive by winning over six people and gaining their gratitude, right?"
The system reappeared: [Yes, host, you really are a clever little devil.]
Ruan Tian: "Saying all this nonsense is useless. You might as well give me some more tangible rewards."
The system fell silent again, becoming a coward.
Ruan Tian looked at all her inheritance.
A simple food cart, a portable plastic table, and a small stool that you can buy for 2.5 yuan on Taobao.
By the way, it even includes free shipping.
Fortunately, she can still check her skill list. Currently, she can only cook one dish: xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
[Simple and unpretentious xiaolongbao: burst with juice with every bite, and seem to explode with delight at the sight of them.]
[Additional Attribute: Health +3.]
[Detailed Description: The bag is as famous as its owner; it's a simple, unassuming bag, the kind you see everywhere.]
Ruan Tian's current status bar:
[Current survival time: 12 hours.]
Ruan Tian scrolled through the skill bar several times, keeping some of the skills she had in the game.
The backpack has fifteen compartments, making it a small storage solution.
It allows you to see a map of some of the surrounding buildings, so you won't get lost.
Aside from these two auxiliary skills, she has absolutely no combat ability.
"System, are you sure you're not kidding me?"
System: [Having me is your blessing.]
Ruan Tian's lips twitched. "You really want me to slap zombies' faces with steamed buns?"
This good fortune, whoever wants it can have it.
The system's voice was sincere: "No, I've assigned you a bodyguard."
Ruan Tian's eyes widened expectantly; it seemed she could still enjoy this good fortune.
The next second, something brushed against Ruan Tian's ankle.
She looked down and saw a perfectly round dog's head.
The tiny puppy, barely the size of a palm, looked up at Ruan Tian with its watery eyes and let out a soft, babyish "woof."
Ruan Tian: "..."
She took a deep breath; this good fortune was truly bad luck.
System: [Host, this is a Hellhound! It's like an SSR in a gacha game!]
Such a small "vicious dog" could probably bite a zombie without even breaking its skin.
Ruan Tian glanced at her survival time, then peacefully crawled onto the dining table and lay down.
"Goodnight Makka Pakka, goodnight Usidisi, goodnight Ding Ding Car, goodnight world, goodnight system."
It's hopeless, haha.
Ruan Tian decided to die right now.
System: [Host, wake up! You still have one more spin you haven't used.]
Ruan Tian stared with dead fish eyes, "Twice."
System: [Host, I hope you can be reasonable.]
Ruan Tian closed her eyes again, "Goodnight Makka Pakka, goodnight Ushnish..."
The system interrupted: [Okay, twice.]
Ruan Tian quickly got up and picked up the little white dog from the ground.
"Okay, let's begin now."
The next second, a huge spinning wheel appeared on Ruan Tian's face.
The wheel is divided into six sections, symbolizing six different targets.
She turned around with great anticipation for the first time, and three seconds later, her first target appeared.
A strategy guide card fell out, and Ruan Tian picked it up from the ground with great anticipation.
[Target of pursuit: Gu Yi]
[Difficulty Level: SSS+]
[Strategy Tip: Oh? I heard you want to pursue him? Kid, go to bed. Getting him is like kicking a hornet's nest.]
Ruan Tian: "...What kind of damn luck do I have? I'm starting off like this in hell."
Since she still had one more chance to win a prize, Ruan Tian spun the roulette wheel once more.
This time, the target of the strategy is much simpler.
[Target of the strategy: Ye Mofeng]
[Difficulty Level: A]
[A word of advice: You're getting married today, but I'm not the groom! All that simping will end up with nothing, haha.]
Ruan Tian clutched the strategy card. Perhaps because the previous three S+ ratings were so astonishing, seeing the A rating now didn't seem so bad.
"System, I'll choose this one."
System: [The character's location has been displayed on the map. Coincidentally, he's in very bad shape and about to die.]
Ruan Tian was shocked. "If he's dead, doesn't that mean I'll be dead soon too?"
System: [Theoretically, that's correct, so we suggest the host act quickly.]
Ruan Tian immediately sprang into action. Fortunately, the little cart could be stored in the equipment inventory, along with the "divine beast" little white dog, taking up a total of five slots.
Fortunately, it is the early stage of the apocalypse, and the zombies are not very powerful.
With her petite frame and the help of the map, Ruan Tian nimbly made her way through the horde of zombies.
She was getting closer and closer to her target, so she quickened her pace.
The location of the target is well hidden, which saves a lot of trouble.
A boy who looked to be only eighteen years old lay in the corner, his abdomen pierced and bloodstains on his head.
The boy was very handsome and dashing, with a face that was flawless, comparable to a 3D model, but the expression on his face was one of pain.
Ruan Tian could see the health bar above his head: [1/100]
As expected, Ye Mofeng is about to die.
Ruan Tian's heart stopped beating. She quickly summoned the small cart and started making xiaolongbao!
These xiaolongbao were made in advance; all Ruan Tian needed to do was heat them up.
However, the taste and the way the filling is made are exactly the same as Ruan Tian's skills in her previous life.
The rustling sound woke Ye Mofeng. He opened his eyes amidst immense pain and witnessed an incredibly miraculous scene before him.
In the apocalypse, a small cart is set up, and someone is steaming xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
He was momentarily dazed, then murmured:
"So, even in heaven, they sell xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)."
He is probably already dead.
