The Treasure-Hunting General Store

[My real-life job keeps me working from nine in the morning to nine at night. I'm exhausted every day. I said I'd finish this story over summer break, but I didn't manage it. I'll do my best to keep updating from here on. For each update, half will go in the story, and the other half will be posted in the author's notes for everyone to enjoy for free.] An ancient treasure-seeking mouse awakens in the modern world, bringing along his little spatial spirit. Now he has to start cultivating all over again. How tragic! The little spirit has even been reincarnated as a human, yooo~~ Oh dear, that rascal, the Heavenly Dao's consciousness, has disappeared. Are the laws of the world going to collapse? Where has all the spiritual energy gone? The spirit plants? The spirit beasts? Why has everything vanished? Well, even if the circumstances are tough, there's still delicious food! The eight great cuisines, fried, braised, stewed, and roasted... Humans are amazing! If I want to enjoy these tasty dishes forever, come on, let's give it everything we've got! This story was originally titled Treasure Mouse Chronicles 2, but I've changed it to The Treasure-Hunting General Store. You don't need to read Treasure Mouse Chronicles to understand this story. Let me recommend my writing-buddy's danmei story, The Interstellar Cat-Loving Association, as well as her concurrent baihe story, The Entertainment Industry's Pretty Vase. She's incredibly prolific, updates like clockwork, and writes really well!
