All My Fluffy Companions Are Big Shots

Seeking advance readers: "Mianmian's Little Eatery" - Build infrastructure through food and become a city lord "Turning the Tables and Becoming the Male Lead in Melodramatic Stories [Quick Transmigration]" - Face-slapping and taking down scum is so satisfying "The Metaphysics Master's Road to a Stronger Nation Through Science" - Roll up your sleeves and do research, strengthen the motherland, and offer a little feng shui advice along the way Ji Ci, who carries the ancient Shennong bloodline of Huaxia, transmigrates to the interstellar era. Vegetation is scarce here, food is in short supply, and everyone gets by on nutrient fluids. After one taste, Ji Ci nearly dies in the kitchen. Once he manages to save himself, he wipes away his tears and decides to carry on the fine tradition of ancient Huaxia: wherever there's land, someone should be growing vegetables. One day, an adorable little hamster comes over and deliberately flops down beside him, gazing at him with big, watery eyes. Ji Ci's heart softens, and he adopts it. Then he wakes up the next morning to find all his food gone. Ji Ci: ...My heart hurts! Which idiot stole my food?! The little hamster looks innocent, not forgetting to wipe the crumbs from the corners of its mouth. Tasty! A few days later, a nestling appears in the backyard, lying still, starving and on the verge of death. Ji Ci takes pity on it, brings it home, and feeds it rice. When Ji Ci goes to check on it again, the rice jar is empty. Ji Ci: ??? The nestling pecks at its feathers and nuzzles Ji Ci's face, trying to get away with it by being cute. Later, another creature joins Ji Ci's household: a turtle with wings, a three-headed dog, a two-tailed snake, and a male golden pheasant that can lay eggs. But the harvest at Ji Ci's home is never good. Tears. Later still, the fluffy little creatures start squabbling among themselves. Little hamster: I'm the Crown Prince of the Empire. You, bird, get lost. All the food here belongs to me, including Ji Ci. Nestling: Get outta here! So what if you're the Crown Prince? I'm a legendary phoenix chick. Two-tailed snake: What are you all squawking about? I'll eat you one by one! Turtle: Stop... arguing. Listen... to your... Grandpa Turtle... say... something... fair. Ji Ci: No, please don't say anything, sir. Just listening to you makes me want to take a huge breath for you!!! Little hamster: This human looks nice! This human can grow things! How can this human have me and still want more! This human is only lusting after my fur! This human doesn't even like me! And somehow, I fell for this human! A few notes: 1. The protagonist's biggest golden finger is that whatever he plants grows. You have no idea what the people of Huaxia are capable of!!! 2. The adorable pets are very cute, so please take good care of them. 3. The interstellar setting includes lots of original worldbuilding. The protagonist will work hard to build his own Huaxia planet. Going VIP tomorrow, with a big new chapter~ Advance blurb: "Mianmian's Little Eatery" - A food-and-infrastructure-building progression story [Come on, build your very own eatery! Here, you are king. Enjoy boundless power, the admiration of the people, and the reverence of all creation.] On a different world, Yun Mianmian arrives with a food business System. She looks at the run-down eatery deep in the forest and falls into thought. That's it? This is it? Is the System trying to get her to eat peaches?! Later, the aroma of grilled food sprinkled with cumin brings in a knight. Aristocratic and refined, he looks down on the eatery at first sight. But the inevitable change of heart arrives, no matter how late. Yun Mianmian watches him eat grilled skewers in one hand and oden in the other, his lips shining with oil, and gives him a subtle smile. The elves are mysterious and elegant, living on flowers and fruit. But when they arrive at the eatery, they order like seasoned pros. "Boss, one serving each of dry-pot pork intestines, secret-recipe stinky tofu, and the house specialty, river-snail rice noodles." Yun Mianmian: She knew it. There's no world Chinese cuisine can't rule. After that, her little eatery gradually helps a town prosper, and then she becomes the lord of a city. Looking at the people below, Yun Mianmian smiles with satisfaction. It seems the System wasn't really asking her to eat dirt after all. P.S. A food-and-infrastructure-building progression story~ Golden finger + adorable pets + a male lead who's basically a useful sidekick Theme: Always look on the bright side of life, and the world will not let your efforts go unrewarded
