Author's message to webnovel readers:
Hello everyone, I am Morning Star LL, and I am delighted to meet you all in this way!
To be honest, I never imagined that my work would have such a large readership outside China. I was absolutely astonished when my editor told me there were thousands of comments. Before this, my writings were primarily aimed at Chinese readers, and it never crossed my mind that my words would one day be translated into another language.
I am both humbled and grateful.
I am also extremely honored that my recent work, "This Game is Too Real," has been given the opportunity to reach an international audience.
Unlike my previous works, this book is probably the one into which I've invested the most time and effort. It is set in a fictional post-apocalyptic wasteland.
The story mainly revolves around a once-thriving civilization that collapses overnight after a disaster. The MC from Earth uses a legacy system to disguise the entire world as a game, leading players on a quest to save civilization. It intertwines the fates of the struggling survivors in the wasteland with mutual redemption, while also uncovering the historical truths buried beneath the dust.
This book contains several easter eggs with "Scholar's Advanced Technological System," but mentioning them might spoil the story, so I'll leave it to the readers to discover!
Moreover, the overall tone of the book remains cheerful and light-hearted. Despite the world being harsh and full of danger, I believe that even in the darkest moments, the warmth and resilience inherent in humanity will continue to shine brightly, emitting the power to dispel the darkness.
It would be my greatest honor if my words resonate with you! And the word "resonate" is also a major clue within the story itself.
Thank you!

This game is too freaking realistic!
Bricklaying, running errands, picking up trash, delivering parcels... At most, the company lets you experience the hardships of a 996 schedule, but here you can feel the extreme bonus of 007.
Alright, enough chit-chat, the great Manager has called me to lay some bricks.
That Manager said that as long as we work our livers off, he can get a brand-new set of power armor next month, and then he'll take us to explore a brand new map, picking up even more trash in the vast Wasteland!
...
After teleporting to the Waste World, Chu Guang discovered that he had unlocked the "shelter system" and could summon creatures called "players" from a parallel world.
From that day on, nothing in the Waste World was normal anymore.

"We are the indestructible spearhead of the Alliance!"


"We are the steel torrent that sweeps away everything!"


"We have prepared to offer our hearts and are ready to give our lives to realize His Majesty the Manager's ideals!"


The roar of engines resonated as the truck carrying the Skeleton Corps pursued the howling sands ahead.


Half of a body protruded from the desert-colored steel turret.


Brother Mole, holding binoculars, was exuberantly shouting with excitement in his drake-like voice.


Despite the turret being so hot that it could fry an egg, and despite being the odd one out standing and getting a mouthful of sand, the excited fellow still refused to come down from the tank.


The other three crew members sat listlessly on the truck carrying the tank, whispering to each other and not caring at all about Brother Mole's overzealous speech.
