In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

[Host, rest assured, if the spatial energy stone is lost, the space itself will not disappear, only its functions may be incomplete. As for the energy gained, it already belongs to you and will not disappear or be taken away.]

[If the space energy stone is obtained by someone else, and like the host, triggers the unknown fusion conditions, then that person can only fuse with ice energy and the interstellar gate, and will have no effect on the host.]

"Oh, that's good. It has now been confirmed that dripping blood is not a condition for triggering the fusion of the spatial energy stone, so the fusion will have to be put on hold. I'd better familiarize myself with the use of space and the various energies first."

[Host, let's put the practice aside for now. Your sister has two important things to discuss. First, your space and your sister's system have synchronized energy fluctuations, allowing for fusion. After fusion, your sister can help you manage the space, and items within it can directly connect to the terrestrial trading system for convenient transactions. The second matter concerns disaster prediction.]

"What? Space and system can be merged? Then they must be merged. Sister, let's begin."

Upon hearing that the system and space could be integrated, Hongtang skipped over what her sister was about to say.

[Okay, host. *beep* Spatial fusion initiation, stay tuned...]

[Ding, spatial fusion complete. Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Super Infinite Space item. System reward: Dimensional Coins]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have received a newbie gift pack!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained one page skin!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have been granted one exemption from negative reviews!]

After the beep, a transparent panel appeared in front of Hongtang, displaying her personal information.

Name: Hongtang

Age: 26

Location: Interstellar Dimension

Merchant Level: 2 (2/10)

Number of transactions: 0 (0/1000)

Quantity of goods: 0 items (0/0)

Number of negative reviews: 0 (0/3)

Dimensional Currency:

Equipment: 1 spatial item, 1 system gift pack

*Note: A merchant's transaction count is reset to zero for each level gained. Each negative review results in a 15-day trading ban, with 3 such bans allowed per year. Transaction count includes both "buy" and "sell" transactions.

[Host, quickly open the newbie gift pack and see what's inside.]

"Okay, let's open it and take a look."

Hongtang originally wanted to study space and that prediction thing further, as she hadn't figured those things out yet. But seeing how enthusiastic her younger sister was, she went along with it.

Open the newbie gift pack; it contains 3 items.

"1 Self-Service Transaction Card, 1 Level Upgrade Card, 1 Automated Delivery Robot. Sister, what do these mean?"

[Host, according to system restrictions, dimensional merchants can only trade with merchants of the same or lower level. This self-trading card has no level restrictions; you can choose to trade with any level merchant once. However, to prevent the other party from refusing, it's best to choose a lower-level merchant; otherwise, you'll waste this opportunity.]

[Level Upgrade Cards can increase a merchant's level. The system defaults to merchant level 1; after using a Level Upgrade Card, the host will become a level 2 merchant.]

[An automated delivery robot is a system where, after a customer places a purchase order, the robot automatically delivers the goods according to the request. The system offers two transaction methods: one is a face-to-face video call between the two parties to negotiate the goods and price.]

The first method involves sending a video message first, and the transaction can only proceed after the other party agrees. The second method involves the merchant setting a price for the product and listing it online, then the other party places an order independently.

[In this case, the quantity purchased counts as one transaction. For example, if the other party buys 3 items at once, this transaction counts as 3 transactions. This type of transaction is only allowed with an automated delivery robot. The merchant level must be at least level three. However, now that the host has an automated delivery robot, there's no need to wait until level three.]

"Oh, wow, my newbie gift pack is pretty amazing."

Yes, the host has hit the jackpot.

"Alright, let's use both the level upgrade card and the automated delivery robot then."

[Yes, host, I'll arrange it right away.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on becoming a Level 2 Merchant! The automated delivery machine has been installed. Host can now begin trading. Host, would you like to choose face-to-face trading or automated trading?]

"Sister, I don't have anything to trade right now. How about this, there's a lot tonight, let me digest it first, and then we can plan what to do next."

[Okay, host. Then let me explain disaster prediction again. A major catastrophe is about to strike your planet, so you can prepare in advance.]

"What? My planet is about to be struck by a catastrophe?"

Hongtang's head was spinning and throbbing. The amount of information tonight was simply overwhelming. Even with her intelligence and rationality, she was finding it difficult to process.

Feeling exhausted, Hongtang plopped down on the ground.

"Host, are you alright?" the younger sister asked with concern.

"I'm fine, just a little tired. Please continue, what major disaster is about to happen?"

[Actually, it's nothing much, just that we're about to experience three months of high temperatures, with the highest reaching around 75 degrees Celsius. Given the tolerance levels of life on your planet, they probably couldn't withstand such high temperatures.]

"Such a high temperature? It'll kill us, are you sure, little sister?"

Hongtang was both shocked and terrified.

Such high temperatures would definitely kill people. Although there have been various natural disasters and high temperatures year after year in the past century, temperatures of 50°C have occurred before.

Nowadays, temperatures reaching 38 or 39 degrees Celsius are common, and people have some effective measures and medications to relieve the symptoms of heatstroke.

But reaching 75°C is truly life-threatening. Does God even want people to live?

[Your sister confirms, host. She can accurately predict disasters up to three months in advance and roughly six months in advance. If she levels up, she might be able to predict even further in advance. Host, you should participate in more transactions!]

The younger sister reminded Hongtang how much of the system she needed to use.

"What happens after the high temperatures?" Hongtang asked again, wanting to know if there would be a turning point.

[After the heatwave comes about a month of torrential rain, followed by freezing temperatures and blizzards. I can only give an accurate prediction closer to the time. By the way, the torrential rain will be extremely heavy, enough to flood the sixth floor of your building.]

What? Hongtang's heart skipped a beat. With such a heavy downpour, wouldn't a riot break out?

In recent years, news reports have been filled with various natural disasters, such as the spontaneous combustion of forests in Australia that has been raging for six months; the magnitude 8 earthquake in Coconut Country, which reduced one-fifth of the country to ruins; and the volcanic eruption and tsunami in Sun Country, which destroyed cities. Only the Dragon Country, in its peaceful and prosperous era, has suffered such devastation. Is it finally the Dragon Country's turn?

[Host, this disaster is global. However, the impact is not synchronized across different locations. Some are affected earlier, some later, and some experience blizzards followed by heat waves and torrential rains.]

As if she could read Hongtang's mind, her younger sister added.

Is this a global apocalypse?

Hongtang had a bad feeling about it.
