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

"A perfect combination of production and processing."

"This is our Akihabara survivor base, the primary industry upon which we will rely for survival, development, and even domination of this post-apocalyptic world."

"..."

"..."

A speech full of inflammatory rhetoric and empty promises instantly silenced the girls who had just been full of complaints and reluctance.

Especially Erina and Alice.

In their eyes, that damned competitive spirit belonging to top chefs and leading scientists was rekindled and burned fiercely with unprecedented intensity.

That's right.

Ingredients created by God.

Let's engage in an ultimate showdown, where each of us stakes our culinary skills and pride.

This is the stage they truly (for the money) want, the stage they've always dreamed of.

Thor, however, thought it was simpler.

She can use her cooking skills to help Kobayashi and Su Chen, and rightfully defeat those "love rivals".

This is her greatest happiness.

……

Ultimately, under the guise of this blueprint, the Ministry of Agriculture, which was fraught with problems, was successfully established.

Everyone watched as various divine crops of different shapes and sizes, shimmering with golden light, sprouted from the earth under Su Chen's [Golden Experience] ability.

He glanced at the girls who, though still glaring at each other and exchanging intense glances, had faces full of energy and hope.

A sense of anticipation for a bright future appeared in everyone's eyes.

perhaps.

In this seemingly hopeless apocalypse.

They can truly create a paradise of their own.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: The King's Spoils

The base's primary industry, centered on food, was established by Su Chen in an almost divinely ordained manner.

The food crisis that once hung over everyone like the Sword of Damocles has been resolved in the most thorough way, at its root.

The entire team was immersed in an unprecedented, hopeful, and energetic atmosphere of prosperity.

The survivors' faces once again showed long-lost, genuine smiles.

Looking at the Shennong experimental field that he had personally transformed, and at the miraculous crops that were growing under the power of the [Golden Experience] and emitting a faint golden light, Su Chen was in a great mood.

He even had the leisure to discuss future recipes with everyone. Just a day earlier, this was an unimaginable luxury.

"Alright, girls."

He leaned against a newly sprouted breadfruit tree, which exuded the aroma of butter, and asked with a smile, like a young king listening to the advice of his ministers in the garden.

"Tell me, once our farm is on track."

What would you all like to eat?

"Me. Me. Me."

Yui Yuigahama was the first to raise her hand high, like a primary school student eagerly answering a question in class, afraid of being left out.

"I want to eat a strawberry cake. The kind with lots and lots of cream and the biggest strawberries on top."

Her face was filled with an infinite longing for sweets; her expression seemed to suggest that she had already tasted the sweetest happiness in the apocalypse.

"Are you a little kid?"

Although Eriri was making sarcastic remarks, her uncontrollably sparkling blue eyes completely revealed her equally questionable taste.

"Ahem." She coughed lightly, turning her face away somewhat embarrassedly, and said in a barely audible voice, "I...I want to eat Mont Blanc, you know, the kind made with chestnuts..."

“I know.” Su Chen smiled, a hint of understanding in his eyes. “High-end French desserts, right? No problem, arrange it.”

"Mmm." Eriri's face instantly lit up with a pure, childlike smile, her golden twin tails seemingly leaping with joy.

Su Chen's gaze then turned to the silver-haired little girl who had been quietly clinging to his leg, like a delicate ornament.

Where is Kanna?

What would Kanna like to eat?

Kanna looked up and blinked her large, pure blue eyes, as clear as the sky. She tilted her head and thought for a long, long time, very seriously.

Finally, she stretched out her chubby little finger and pointed to the black electronic watch on Su Chen's wrist, which he had put on at some unknown time. It looked ordinary, but it faintly emitted a weak energy fluctuation.

"I want to eat shiny...stones."

"..."

"puff--"

This simple and unpretentious answer, full of dragon-like charm, made most of the people present burst into laughter. The previously somewhat reserved atmosphere instantly became incredibly relaxed.

Su Chen was both amused and exasperated as he gently rubbed her fluffy, soft little head.

"You can't eat this."

"But if there's a chance in the future, I can take you to dig up some real crystals to have as an after-dinner snack."

"Ah."

Kanna nodded happily and contentedly.

Looking at this warm and noisy scene filled with the cozy atmosphere of home, Su Chen's smile softened even more.

He enjoyed the feeling of building a kingdom with his own hands on the ruins of the apocalypse.

Then, he straightened up and his expression became serious.

He began, in a formal tone, the investiture of his subjects by the king.

"Listen carefully (bjdc)."

Everyone instinctively held their breath.

"From today."

"I appoint Erina Nakiri as our base's chief agricultural planner. She will be responsible for the planting planning and variety improvement of all divine crops."

“Yes.” Erina Nakiri took a deep breath and then straightened her chest.

"We appoint Alice Nakiri as our Chief Nutrition Consultant. She will be responsible for analyzing the energy data of all ingredients and creating the most scientific and efficient fortified recipes for us."

"Yes, my master." Alice gave a playful, albeit slightly awkward, salute. But beneath that smile lay the scientist's ecstatic joy at finally finding an ideal, inexhaustible research topic.

"Hisako Niito is appointed as the head of the medicinal cuisine development department. She will be responsible for researching how to combine divine ingredients with ancient Eastern medicinal cuisine theories to develop medicinal cuisine dishes that can fundamentally strengthen our bodily functions."

"Yes. I... I will definitely do my best." Hisako's face was filled with flattered excitement. Being able to use her expertise in such an important position made her feel a sense of value like never before.

"at last…"

Su Chen's gaze fell on the blonde twin-tailed dragon maid who had been looking on with anticipation since the investiture ceremony, her tail wagging excitedly behind her.

"Thor."

"Yes, Lord Su Chen."

"You are our only head chef."

"YES."

Thor let out a dragon roar filled with happiness and joy, his voice brimming with energy, as if he could concoct a world-destroying delicacy in the next second.

……

The investiture ceremony is over.

The future has also been planned.

Everyone's face was filled with boundless fantasies about the wonderful future of delicious food, as if the end of the world had ended and they were in a culinary utopia.

However, at this moment.

Su Chen suddenly clapped his hands with a "smack." The crisp sound drew everyone's attention back.

"Alright, ladies."

Before enjoying our blissful afternoon tea…

His gaze slowly turned toward Akihabara, which was brightly lit and resembled a giant treasure chest in the night.

"There is still one most important thing we haven't done."

“We must first take those spoils of war that rightfully belong to the king.”

"We need to move everything home."

Chapter 100 The King's Inspection and the Spoils of War

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced the city ruins and illuminated the top floor of the building like a golden searchlight, the most luxurious moving team in history had already assembled.

The leader was naturally Su Chen. He looked relaxed, as if he wasn't going on a dangerous resource gathering mission, but rather a leisurely weekend outing.

Behind him are team members with diverse styles, yet all subtly revolving around him.

Two gamers, the [Blank] brother and sister, who have completely revered him as a "god among men," that is, a "game god walking among humans."

Two equally brilliant chefs who follow his lead and regard his stomach as their most sacred battlefield – the Food Wars sisters.

And the dragon maid duo, with their contrasting art styles, who surprisingly work together perfectly: a fire-breathing, all-around maid; a top-tier office worker who can program; and an ultimate power bank that will listen to anything as long as there's food.

Of course, there are also two others who were entrusted with important responsibilities and are now dutifully performing their duties: a tyrant and a secretary, both loyal dogs.

Finally, there's also Megumi Kaname, who has no idea why she came along, but since everyone else is here, she figured she might as well go along too. Her presence is faint yet omnipresent.

This group, which could be described as a motley crew of monsters and demons, marched back to Akihabara, the otaku mecca filled with treasures, like a pride of lions patrolling their territory.

This time, however, they were no longer the cautious explorers they were yesterday.

Instead, they were proud and arrogant recipients of property.

……

"Okay, everyone."

On the top floor of the building, in the throne room that belongs to the [Blank] siblings.

Kong stood confidently atop the game's throne, exuding an aura of dominance, holding a megaphone he'd somehow found in an emergency supply box. He resembled a general about to launch a final assault, giving a pre-battle pep talk.

"The Akihabara sweep begins."

"Xiao Bai. Project all the high-value targets (A level and above) that we marked last night into 3D onto everyone's tactical communicators."

"Received." Beneath the throne, Bai Xiaoxiao's figure was enveloped in the light of the screen, her ten fingers flying across the virtual keyboard.

"Miss Kobayashi. Miss Tohru. Mr. Kurokiba."

"The 'Quantum Future' data center on the third basement level of the UDX building will be handed over to your technical team. Remember, Su Chen said our motto is 'Leave no stone unturned.' We cannot allow even a single fiber optic cable to remain for the evil of this world."

"Oh," Kobayashi responded weakly, while Tohru and Kurokiba let out bellowing growls.

"Miss Alice, Miss Hisako, and my esteemed Queen Erina."

"Your targets are the largest Animate anime merchandise flagship store on Central Avenue and the Toranoana flagship store. Pack up all the limited edition figures, rare models, and original art books that we find appealing and take them with you."

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me." Erina haughtily raised her chin.

As for the rest…

A wicked grin spread across Kong's face, brimming with the satisfaction of a successful prank.

"I'll leave logistical support and battlefield reconnaissance to this genius commander and my god-level stealth operator, Kato."

Kato Megumi tilted her head, her calm eyes seemingly pondering what necessary connection logistical support had with her.

Su Chen looked at this overly dramatic person who was too immersed in the role and shook his head helplessly.
