The Emperor System (Worldbuilding)

Shu Wang has a pretty useless Literary Master System. Its store is full of all sorts of things: rice for 100 points a jin, salt for 200 points a jin, a book on blast furnace steelmaking for 10,000 points, and a guide to hydraulic engineering for 100,000 points...

Her response?

Isn't a supermarket better? I have money.

Isn't CNKI better? I have an annual subscription.

Chang Ling has a strange Emperor System. It claims it can summon famous historical figures to serve him: the sage Duke of Zhou, Fan Li, the merchant sage; legendary generals Zhou Yafu, Huo Guang, and Zhou Yu; peerless strategists Guo Jia, Xie An, and Wang Yangming...

His response?

Who are these people supposed to be?

Did they even exist in history?

Then one day, Shu Wang transmigrates into Chang Ling's time and is kidnapped by bandits. Chang Ling is reborn as a prisoner of war and sent to work in a black coal mine.

Shu Wang takes out her useless Literary Master System and cooks a bowl of white rice porridge.

Chang Ling takes out his strange Emperor System and summons a strongman.

They look at each other and weep with joy.

Upcoming nation-building novel: Transmigrating as a Tang-Era Taoist Nun to Build a Nation

When Tan Lingsu wakes up, she finds she's transmigrated to the second year of Li Shimin's reign. She seems to have been born into this world, and spent seventeen years doing nothing but lazing about. Her one achievement was becoming Yuan Tiangang's disciple, ensuring she wouldn't be pressured into marriage.

Being lazy is wonderful. She loves being lazy.

Later, she discovers that being lazy won't save the people of the Tang Dynasty.

But alchemy can.
