"Kenapa nampak seperti spongebob?" Nanta mengamati benda kotak yang memiliki dua tangan juga dua kaki. Banyak sekali tombol menyala di atas touch screen di salah satu sisi benda tersebut. "Terlihat seperti robot." "Kenapa ada banyak sekali?" "Kenapa semuanya tertata rapi? Bahkan di setiap rumah, di setiap pohon, semuanya. Setiap benda nampak sama persis, tak ada pembeda sedikit pun." Friska dan Nanta hanya bisa menatap tempat itu dengan bingung. Rumah, pohon, bahkan semua benda tertata rapi dan sejajar, tak ada satu mili pun benda tersebut berbeda tempat dari benda lainnya. Banyak orang di tempat itu, namun semuanya bersikap individualis. Hanya ada satu, Rey, hanya orang itulah yang mau mengeluarkan suara. Kehadiran Rey menjadi penerang bagi Friska dan Nanta tentang pulau aneh itu. Namun nahasnya, belum ada dua hari mereka berteman, Rey sudah terlebih dahulu bunuh diri secara misterius.

One day, a strange hand suddenly appeared inside Chi Wan’s interdimensional space. Its owner claimed to be living in the apocalypse—starving, desperate—and begged to trade anything he had for food. Chi Wan stared at the pile of Imperial Green jade, oversized diamonds, and dozens of kilograms of gold bars he offered… and fell into deep thought. …Wasn’t this a little too profitable? From then on, her connection to the apocalypse only grew stronger. The mysterious man—who turned out to be a powerful figure—used his Wood Ability to help her revive rare orchids, cultivate endangered plants, and even harvest zombie crystal cores for the country. As for Chi Wan? She only had three responsibilities: feed him, feed him, and keep feeding him. Somehow, without realizing it, a group of extraordinary men began to gather around her: A genius research scientist. An aloof, abstinent CEO. A cold and ruthless Soldier King… In front of Chi Wan, they were gentle, attentive, and impeccably polite—each trying to outshine the others. Behind her back? They were one step away from tearing each other apart. Meanwhile, on the other side of the spatial link… The so-called King of the Apocalypse clenched his teeth in silence as he listened to these men compete for her attention. As for Chi Wan? “I’m busy getting rich and supporting my family,” she said calmly. “A battle royale of suitors? I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Until one day— An absurdly handsome man appeared at the gates of her villa… carrying a sack filled with gold and jewels. “I’m here to marry into your family,” he declared. Chi Wan glanced at him, then at the newly connected wasteland world inside her space… …and once again fell into deep thought.

Looking up, she found herself staring at a tall, broad-shouldered man with a face so handsome it could ruin nations. Practically drooling, Wen Ci blinked and asked, “Just passing by?” The man replied coldly, “Your husband.” Wen Ci froze. Her arranged husband… Was this devastatingly handsome big shot?

Gu Ning transmigrated to the Beastman World and was mistaken for a low-class Mixed Breed. However, as a purebred human, Gu Ning neither had the strong and durable physique of a Mixed Breed, nor was she protected like the Beast Females. To avoid being starved to death or sold off as a Mixed Breed, Gu Ning could only find work online— One day, a virtual character blogger rapidly went viral online. Every video released by this blogger featured the same Beast Female, but their clans were different. The Beastman clans have strong tribalistic views, and they were furious about this act of using the same model for different clans, leading to a storm of criticism. However, this model was simply too beautiful, and the Beastmen couldn't help but watch while they cursed, becoming avid followers: Bear Clan: "Blogger, can you release more videos of the Bear Clan's little darling? Don't just focus on the Dog Clan's!" [Donates 10,000 Honey Coins] Dog Clan: "Hee hee, we just love watching our darling, we want to see a video of our darling eating!" [Donates 100,000 Bone Coins] Wolf Clan: "That's clearly our Wolf Clan's darling!" [Donates 100,000 Bone Coins] The reclusive Merfolk Clan: "Is there no Merfolk darling?" [Donates 1,000,000 Shell Coins] * After filming a daily life video, Gu Ning took off the fake Wolf Clan beast ears, put on the fake Merfolk fins, and sighed in her heart—Beastmen's money is so easy to earn. Her joy was short-lived; Gu Ning's account was unfortunately doxxed. The Beastmen were shocked to discover that the virtual character created by this blogger actually existed in real life, and was truly the same female! The Beastmen went crazy! Gu Ning looked at the Beastmen who came chasing after her one by one, her heart trembling with fear. She was really just trying to make money, not to get involved with Beastmen! This size difference could be fatal!
