Anime Crossover: Post-Apocalyptic Survival, My Stand is the World

"And..." His gaze finally fell on the Time Witch who had been smiling from beginning to end, as if everything was unrelated to her, "to jointly lead Miss Tokisaki Kurumi, who is currently under surveillance and observation."

"Responsible for the security of all our strongholds in Avalon, and for external military operations."

"It is the sharpest and deadliest sword in our kingdom."

Upon hearing her name, Kurumi slowly raised her head and gave Su Chen an elegant smile that was both alluring and playful, as if to say, "I accept this interesting game."

Saeko, standing beside her, merely gripped the hilt of her sword lightly, her eyes burning with a thirst for battle.

…have…

Departmental divisions are complete.

A dream team-level management team has been officially formed.

Looking at the elite team he had personally assembled, Su Chen wore a bright smile filled with pride and anticipation.

He slowly stood up and, facing his group of queens who were full of questions yet equally full of talent, issued his first command as king.

"Alright, ladies."

"Let's get to work."

"Let's work together to turn this little hotel upside down."

"To become one, in the truest sense..."

"The Ideal Land."

Chapter 196 The Ministry of Science and Technology's Rhapsody

The morning meeting is over.

An unprecedented construction campaign was launched in full swing throughout Avalon.

The most outrageous and hardcore of them all was undoubtedly the Department of Science and Technology, which could be described as a "monster room".

……

The Imperial Hotel, five floors below ground.

The server room, which was originally used to store the entire hotel's data and was kept at a constant temperature and humidity, was now brightly lit.

The air was filled with a unique, tense yet frenzied aroma, a mixture of engine oil, ozone, strong coffee, and instant noodles, exuding an aura of intelligence and futurism.

"Xiao Bai, how's the porting of the 'Skynet' system's core code going? The hotel's main server architecture is a hundred times more complex than our old arcade's. Don't crash the firewall."

"Ninety percent... The firewall needs to be rebuilt... Bro, your algorithm is too outdated. I added an anti-logic trap to it, and now its defense level has improved by at least three dimensions."

"Miss Kobayashi, has the parallel protocol for the backup power supply been written yet? Our computing power is still far from sufficient. Once those big guys (referring to the 347 quantum server) are turned on, the entire hotel doesn't have enough power. If we don't find a solution soon, we'll be back to the Stone Age."

"It'll be ready soon. Mr. Kong, don't rush me. Do you think I'm a dragon that writes code? Even dragons need rest."

"Kaguya-sama, please, I beg you! Stop using our precious quantum server to simulate 'how to create a hundred accidental physical contacts while having dinner with the president'! Our memory is about to explode! The president is starving, can't you see?!"

"Well, this is just necessary data sampling in the field of 'interpersonal relations' to improve team cohesion... You don't understand."

"..."

Looking at the team in front of him, which was full of problems—one person demanding overtime pay and the other having their relationship paid for by the company—he felt a headache coming on.

But on his face, an unprecedented, radiant smile full of energy and satisfaction appeared.

That's right.

That's what it feels like.

(bjdc) and a group of equally monstrous teammates work together to conquer a game called "Reality" filled with unknowns and challenges.

This is a million times more fun than staying at home playing single-player games alone.

……

Thus, through the concerted efforts of this group of "genius tech geeks" from different dimensions...

A miracle happened.

It only took one day.

Inside the Imperial Hotel, which had been pitch black and silent like a steel behemoth, all the lights were turned on again.

The surveillance network and internal LAN system, covering every corner, have all been restored.

It's even more advanced, more stable, and safer than when we were in the building.

……

Meanwhile, Blank and Kobayashi were frantically climbing the information technology tree.

Another revolution, brimming with the atmosphere of life sciences and alchemy, was also taking place intensely in the luxurious kitchen next door (now it should be called a biological laboratory), which Alice had forcibly requisitioned and crammed full of all sorts of instruments that Su Chen couldn't understand.

"The data is out."

Alice Nakiri looked at the energy data curves on the spectral analyzer, which were full of harmony and perfection, as if drawn by the hand of a god.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with a light as if Columbus had discovered a new continent.

"It's...it's too perfect."

Pointing to the 3D energy model on the screen that represented "Primordial Qi," she excitedly stammered to Kaguya Shinomiya beside her, who also looked bewildered yet deeply captivated by this scientific fervor.

"Kaguya-sama, look. Look!"

"The golden energy within Su Chenjun's body. Its structure, its circulation, and its way of combining with cells are simply the ultimate, perfect form of the concept of 'life'."

"It can even self-repair, self-evolve, and create matter out of thin air! This...this completely violates the second law of thermodynamics."

"This is not energy at all."

She spoke softly, yet with unparalleled clarity, in an almost reverent tone, as if on a pilgrimage:

"This is God's code."

Kaguya looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her who had completely fallen into "mad scientist" mode, and then looked at the other experimental table, which was also filled with various monster core samples, and even a tube of Kurumi's blood sample sealed in a special container. She felt that her worldview was being repeatedly refreshed, reshaped, and then shattered.

She felt that all the knowledge she had learned at Xiuzhiyuan Academy over the past ten years combined was not as shocking as what she had seen in just one day.

……

Finally, on the evening of the first day.

The Ministry of Science and Technology's frantic construction project, filled with a rhapsody-like style, has delivered its first report card.

It was also their first toy.

"Come on, Su Chen."

Kong excitedly pulled Su Chen to the center of the hall, then snapped his fingers like a mad scientist about to demonstrate his great invention.

From various corners, several seemingly ordinary robot vacuum cleaners slowly slid out.

They were all equipped with high-definition cameras and sensitive microphones by Kong and Bai, and their shells were decorated with funny faces drawn with markers.

"This is..." Su Chen was somewhat puzzled.

"Moving eyeliner".

A smile full of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) and ambition appeared on Kong's face.

"These are the most basic nerve endings of our 'Skynet' system."

"Although they are currently just a bunch of ragtag soldiers who only know how to sweep the floor."

He spread his arms wide, like a madman about to conquer the stars and the sea.

He proclaimed loudly in a fervent tone, brimming with revolutionary optimism:

"But... in the near future."

"They will evolve into our 'eyes,' 'ears,' and even 'hands' and 'feet.'"

"Our ultimate goal is the stars and the sea."

"EVA. Gundam. Space Battleship Yamato."

"One day, we'll build them all!"

Chapter 197 A Feast of Hope

If the revolution of the Ministry of Science and Technology is cold, it is a hardcore romance full of data and rationality.

The land reclamation efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture were a warm, simple miracle filled with life and hope.

……

The Imperial Hotel, top floor.

That open-air garden, already utterly desolate due to neglect, resembled a microcosm of the apocalypse.

Su Chen stood before that cracked, barren land and slowly extended his right hand.

"【Gold Experience】"

Buzz—.

Golden, warm, and holy light, brimming with the purest vitality and the breath of growth, blooms once more.

That light, like the first ray of dawn, gently yet firmly tore through the gloom of the apocalypse.

Like an invisible tide, it slowly covered the entire barren land.

Where the light touched, a miracle occurred.

The parched land, which was already filled with the aura of death, began to recover at an incredible speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

The cracks healed rapidly in the golden light, and the barren sand and gravel became fertile, soft, and moist in the warmth, eventually revealing a deep black color that was most suitable for cultivation and contained boundless vitality.

A fragrance of grass and earth instantly dispelled the decay and coldness of the post-apocalyptic wasteland, making everyone who smelled it feel as if their soul had been cleansed.

In just a few minutes, a piece of land brimming with life energy, even shimmering with a faint golden light, appeared before everyone.

"Alright, girls."

Su Chen withdrew his stand-in, clapped his hands, and smiled at the cooks behind him who were also speechless with awe at the miracle before them:

"The land has already been plowed for you."

"The rest of the sowing and watering work... is now in your hands."

……

Thus began a vigorous and hopeful large-scale production movement.

Erina Nakiri, the queen of the base and chief agricultural planner, fully demonstrated her terrifying professionalism from the "Elite Ten of Totsuki".

She gathered all the survivors who had farm work experience, assigned tasks, planned, and provided guidance.

“Area A has the most abundant ‘life energy’ and the most sunlight, making it ideal for growing fruits and vegetables like tomatoes and strawberries that require a lot of energy.”

“Area B has the highest humidity and relatively mild energy, so it is used to grow mushrooms and potatoes to ensure our basic food supply.”

"Area C has the best ventilation and is suitable for growing spice crops that have special environmental requirements..."

Thor, the equally energetic head chef, leveraged her undeniably superior dragon-like racial advantages.

She parted her cherry lips slightly and gently blew towards the sky.

"call--"

A warm, life-giving dragon's breath instantly transformed into a gentle, auspicious rain, which fell evenly and softly upon the golden land.

This absurd artificial rainmaking technique shattered the worldviews of the survivors who were already worshipping Su Chen to the point of worship.

'How many normal people are left in this hideout?'

……

Finally, thanks to Erina's scientific planning, Tohru's magical irrigation, and the hopeful hard work of all the survivors, the team was able to survive.

The first batch of crop seeds, representing "new life," were carefully sown into that golden land.

However, before everyone could straighten up and wipe their sweat...

An even more miraculous scene then unfolded.
