Wasteland Survivalist: A Scientific Guide to Post-Apocalyptic Survival

Gu Lang picked up his phone and opened the Writer Assistant and Video Creation Center.

It still doesn't look like things are improving, with creative earnings only amounting to pitiful single digits.

A completed post-apocalyptic survival novel, earning a little over 2 yuan a day.

Three cents of that came from gifts I received from GG.

Because this month's minimum withdrawal requirement of 100 yuan was not met.

I can only withdraw the money next month.

Several long and short video accounts combined earn a total of 7 yuan per day.

This month, the minimum standard for basic old-age pensions in urban and rural areas has just been reached.

I quickly scanned the interaction list, and there weren't many likes or comments.

The private messages I received were all asking for materials and information.

Gu Lang's creations cover a wide range of topics, including outdoor travel, ruin exploration, and survival challenges.

It combines survival science popularization with humorous and abstract elements, and occasionally does some live streaming.

There aren't many fans, and even fewer who give tips.

Now the economic bubble has burst and the overall environment is sluggish.

In addition, there is the impact of studios and AI artificial intelligence.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for independent creators at the grassroots level to earn income online.

Without exceptional luck or ruthless skill, most of the time it's just about working out of love.

What happened yesterday might go viral if posted online.

Unfortunately, the subject matter is a major problem.

It's estimated that it won't pass the review, or its reach will be restricted.

It can also easily attract "underground boxing" group activities, which can ruin the account.

After thinking about it, he decided to give up.

In the end, he received two thousand, which was his largest single income recently.

Gu Lang dislikes tobacco and alcohol, and is sworn enemies of gambling and drugs.

I don't usually spend much money.

His only hobby is being a street urchin.

Enjoy a free life and be happy.

He used to work in all sorts of industries.

The conclusion is: it's impossible for me to work; I'll never work in my life.

Slave owners are everywhere, but legitimate capitalists are nowhere to be found.

The little money I earned wasn't even enough to cover my medical expenses.

However, this is the worst of times and the best of times.

In the present day, productivity is extremely abundant.

If you use your brain and don't hold back, it's hard to starve.

The various rubbishes in the city are enough for this "vulture" to survive.

Just as Gu Lang was thinking about where to "hunt" in the wild today, his stomach suddenly started to hurt.

"Ouch, I ate too much oily food yesterday, and sure enough, I vomited."

Gu Lang rushed into the toilet and began to cleanse his body.

After sitting on the toilet for a long time, Gu Lang strangely twisted his body.

The toilet has no windows, and the light is broken and no one fixes it.

He was forced to use a bathroom heater for lighting, as he felt scorched by the sun after squatting for a long time.

You must constantly adjust your posture to prevent sunburn.

After using the restroom, Gu Lang, whose skin had darkened even further, began his morning exercise.

I did push-ups, squats, leg raises, handstands, and high and low bridges.

Using the crossbeam as a support, he started doing pull-ups again.

These six exercises are collectively known as the "Six Arts" of Convict Conditioning.

This skill originated from prison inmates.

It was founded by American Paul Wade, based on his nineteen years of imprisonment.

It relies entirely on body weight as resistance and requires no special equipment.

It enables efficient training within a limited space.

The movement design emphasizes a natural power generation pattern.

Although the muscle-building effect is limited, it can avoid shoulder and knee injuries that are common in weight training.

Even in a state of resource scarcity, one can maintain a strong physique.

Each basic movement is further divided into 10 difficulty levels.

For example, the "folding knife squat" can be upgraded to the "single-leg squat".

The "wall push-up" has been upgraded to the "one-arm push-up".

Once you've trained all the techniques to level 10, there are further advanced techniques such as "Prisoner Muscle Building" and "Prisoner Explosive Power."

Its value lies not only in having a complete training system.

More importantly, it is about passing on a spirit of self-discipline and resilience in adversity.

Studying the law is so that you can talk to idiots calmly.

Working out is to make idiots talk to you in a calm and peaceful way.

After finishing his workout, Gu Lang sat on the toilet and took a shower.

He then called the landlord and explained the situation.

"You're terminating your lease early, and your deposit won't be refunded!"

The landlord's hoarse voice rang out.

"Short-term rental contracts require a deposit of one month's rent upfront, and the rent is non-refundable, so it won't affect your ability to renew the lease."

"I don't care, it's your breach of contract anyway."

The landlord's sneer was laced with the sound of phlegm.

"The deposit is only 500 yuan. If you return it, I'll move out today. Otherwise, I'll have to call 96119 and have the fire department come and check for potential hazards."

"Who are you trying to scare? I've been renting this place for over ten years and I've never seen a fire inspection!"

"The fire exit was blocked by debris and there were no fire extinguishers. If the report is verified, the tenant will be suspended for at least six months."

"Huh?" The landlord was taken aback.

"Your building has 13 rooms, and I'll calculate the monthly rent as 7,000. According to tax law, individuals renting out residential properties are subject to a 10% property rental income tax, plus a 2.5% stamp duty..."

Gu Lang paused deliberately.

"I haven't received an invoice in over ten years. How much will the accumulated late fees amount to in fines? Should I call 12366 again to check my tax records?"

The sound of a glass shattering on the floor came through the receiver.

"Where are you? I'm coming over to inspect the house right now."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Lang packed his personal belongings.

After organizing, I stuffed everything into my 65-liter hiking backpack.

Soon, footsteps and banging on the door could be heard outside.

Gu Lang opened the door, and three people rushed in.

The landlord, carrying an oversized "spotlight," began inspecting everything.

"There is damage here."

The landlord pointed at the wall and shouted.

The landlady immediately put up a yellow sign.

The daughter then wrote it down in her notebook.

The three of them had a clear division of labor, and soon the room was filled with a bunch of "annotations".

"The walls, floor tiles, curtains, toilet light, and showerhead were all damaged, and the total compensation is 666.88 yuan."

"All of these things you mentioned were already there when I moved in. Or I can show you a video of the in-home visit."

"You're talking nonsense. Pay up, or you're not leaving."

The landlord's breathing became heavy, but Gu Lang didn't care at all.

The security deposit is essentially a performance guarantee and can only be used to offset rent arrears or damage to the property caused by the tenant.

According to the law, natural wear and tear cannot be charged.

"Unlawful detention is a serious crime. Think carefully before you speak."

Gu Lang turned on his phone and started recording.

"You damaged my house. This is an economic dispute, and Uncle Hat won't get involved."

The landlady's daughter stood with her hands on her hips and her nostrils pointing upwards.

"Wow! He's quite the expert?"

Gu Lang laughed and handed over a copy of the "Public Security Mediation Agreement".

"I just received two thousand yuan in compensation from the police station; my record is documented. You can try and see who can outlast whom."

While the three landlords were looking at documents together.

Gu Lang pulled a portable hand axe from his backpack and slammed it down on the pallet.

"What are you doing!"

The sudden loud noise startled the landlord's entire family.

The "Public Security Mediation Agreement" also fell to the ground.
