[Base building + leveling up + a hint of ensemble cast] [Currently trying to climb the rankings, please bookmark! 🙏🙏]
Li Fei is a joker. During meetings, he wants to burst out laughing. When coworkers try to pass the buck, he wants to whistle. When his boss makes empty promises, he wants to get in his face and ask what he'll do if the pie burns.
But he tries hard to suppress his nature. The humdrum life of an office drone makes his skin crawl.
Then the uncanny invaded, and he unexpectedly bound himself to the Paradise System.
[You've been granted the world's only purification ability. Build a Paradise Base and save the world!]
At last, he could say goodbye to his boring life. He was going to play the game called Uncanny Invasion!
As for saving the world, he wasn't a kid going through a chuunibyou phase anymore. He wouldn't do unpaid work!

Pollution had swallowed several major bases.
Eating lowered your Sanity. Touching buildings lowered your Sanity. Using uncanny objects to escape lowered it even faster.
Even the strongest ability users couldn't eliminate the pollution.
Just as everyone was losing hope, Paradise Base appeared out of nowhere!
They said the base leader was the only purification-type ability user. The base was immune to uncanny pollution, so even the most vulnerable elderly people and children didn't need to worry about going mad.
At first, people scoffed.
But then they fled together, supporting one another. Mosquitoes swarmed before their eyes, ears rang deafeningly, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to breathe. In despair, they trudged toward the last glimmer of hope...
There, they found a peach blossom grove, completely out of place.
"For purification services, turn left at the entrance. Pay first. Perform a talent and get 20% off. If you're good-looking, it's free."
A young man leaned lazily against the door. Behind him, the terrifying uncanny creatures that could have drained anyone's Sanity to zero had all turned into fluffy little balls, obediently letting him rub their heads one by one. The strongest ability user stood firmly at his side, gazing at him with trust and devotion.
The survivors picked up the service menu and fell into thought.
What? You're telling me I can buy life-saving purification services with money?! Who cares if it's expensive? Buy it! Even if it costs seven figures, I'll empty my wallet!
The service is incredible! Aftercare included! And most importantly, you get to meet a big shot up close!
There was no need to hesitate. Purification services became an instant hit!
Paradise Base grew famous. Everyone learned of this utopia and its mysterious, unfathomable leader.

"The master of Paradise Base is neither wholly good nor evil. He treats life like a game, and his danger level is extremely high. But Paradise Base is undeniably humanity's ray of hope, bringing the rotting world its last chance at survival."
