末日杂货铺

Tang Yu’an’s family ran a small grocery store, and every day after school, he would help out by watching over the shop.

That afternoon, his parents had gone out to buy supplies, leaving only him in the shop. A neighbor’s older brother came over to help him with his homework.

“Bang—”

Suddenly, the door to the Grocery Store slammed shut by itself.

Tang Yu’an stood up to open it, but when he pulled it open, the familiar bustling street scene had vanished. In its place was a desolate world of sunken ground and collapsed buildings.

At the same time, a crisp electronic voice sounded in his ear:

[The Doomsday Grocery Store System is now online!]

*

“Become a top interdimensional merchant, and you can go home.” After dangling this goal in front of its new host, the Doomsday Grocery Store System went into hibernation.

The wasteland world was fraught with peril: a harsh environment, fierce natives, terrifying mutant creatures. Simply surviving was difficult—let alone completing tasks to level up.

The System didn’t think its young host would succeed.

However, due to his age, it activated the “Lucky Spin” feature in advance as a safeguard.

For every task completed, he could spin for rewards like points or prizes. If he got really lucky, he could even win rare items and skills—though the odds were extremely, extremely, extremely low.

The System went into hibernation, confident that it would need to switch hosts upon awakening. But to its shock, when it awoke again, two young teens were thriving in the wasteland world, with “Peace Grocery Store” locations all over.

And—

Its System warehouse was empty! The precious items and rare skills it had accumulated across countless hosts—all gone!

Tang “Lucky Draw Miracle Hand” Yuan: Can’t help it if I always get the jackpot on the first try, can I?
