The teacher’s apartment scene is a rare moment of warmth. Gu Chen returning late at night, the teacher still awake, the quick report, and the book handover. It makes the Lincheng side feel like home. I’m glad the story didn’t make every adult a jerk.
I enjoyed the little detail about Bai Yi’s father wanting to sell flowers at the town market. It shows the family’s financial pressure and makes the MC’s power more meaningful. If he can turn ordinary wildflowers into high-quality plants, that’s a direct way to help his family. Practical superpowers are underrated.
The system in her head is kinda funny though. All excited about potatoes, like "Host! Buy the potatoes! The apocalypse is coming!" It's so eager and simple-minded compared to the grim situation. I like that contrast between the cheerful system and the brutal reality she's about to face. It makes the whole survival prep thing less heavy. Still, I wonder if the system has more secrets or if it's just a potato-loving cheerleader.
