◎ Next up: "Everyone Loves Him, but He Always Thinks He's Cannon Fodder." Please add it to your reading list. Blurb below. ◎ The story is complete! A business simulation about opening a shop and getting rich. ▼ Story Blurb ▼ [1] Yan Tang is a background character in a no-romance novel with a male protagonist. He's awakened to his own self-awareness, and he even has a golden finger in the form of a System called "Taking Words Literally." But none of that can overcome the character setting randomly assigned to him by the world: maximum poverty. [2] Yan Tang, who wants nothing more than to get rich, accidentally discovers that whenever the original protagonist says "a drunkard and a glutton," a wine gourd and a food sack actually appear in his hands! Yan Tang: Goods acquired. Check. When the protagonist next says, "There is gold beneath a man's knees," Yan Tang immediately drops to his knees and faces a wall in a secluded corner. A few seconds later, he reaches beneath his knees and pulls out a piece of gold, his face twisted with effort. Yan Tang: Startup funds acquired. Check. Yan Tang, now a shopkeeper with a successful store and a varied inventory: This isn't a protagonist. He's Yiwu Wholesale Market brought to life! [3] Ever since he discovered the protagonist's dialogue was a secret to wealth, Yan Tang has opened shops, bought land, expanded his staff, and gotten rich. He pays the most taxes, wins the most awards, and eventually becomes the richest man in the country. Then he gets interviewed. Now he's a little curious. Is there anything rich people are afraid of? Yan Tang: I took a laxative. I'm on the Forbes Top 10 list, and what I fear most is my boyfriend suddenly getting tongue-tied and trying to pour his heart and guts out to me... ● Coming soon: "Everyone Loves Him, but He Always Thinks He's Cannon Fodder" Blurb: [1] Shen Xinglan is about to transmigrate into a novel as a cannon-fodder character. After learning about it in advance, he not only memorizes the entire book, but also studies the original text with the System. They draw up plot outlines, timelines, character profiles, and analyses, doing their utmost to turn the tables, get revenge, and change his fate after he transmigrates into the book, so he can live a wealthy and peaceful life. However, after transmigrating into the book, Shen Xinglan can't help feeling that something is off. [2] Before facing his first target for a face-slapping, Shen Xinglan carefully plans out the whole process in his head. But Target One: "Squee." Before facing his second target for a face-slapping, Shen Xinglan weighs every word carefully. Target Two: "Slurp." Shen Xinglan regards Target Three warily. This one at least seems normal. Target Three: "Cuddle?" Shen Xinglan: ...System, let's just focus on our careers. ● Coming soon: "The Pretty Good-for-Nothing Slept on the Altar [Nonhuman]" Yun Qing is a beautiful good-for-nothing known to everyone in high society. His looks are peerless, and he's especially easy to deceive. Countless rich playboys are waiting for him to come of age, hoping to make him lose everything, leave him destitute, and finally have him beg to become their lover. At last, on his eighteenth birthday, Yun Qing is swindled out of all his money and has nowhere to go. Just as he's feeling dejected, he comes across a group of people in black robes. They say, "Would you be willing to sleep on an altar for one night? We'll pay you a million for the night, and no one will touch you." Yun Qing looks at their outfits. Awesome! A cosplay group outing! He agrees without hesitation. Yun Qing arrives at the legendary altar. It's just run-down, nothing scary. He takes out his comfy little pillow and sleeping bag, and sleeps peacefully through the night. The next day, just as promised, he receives a million. But from that day on, things around him start to feel strange. He keeps feeling something invisible wrap around his waist and knead his ears. Sometimes it even pries open his teeth and sucks on his mouth... Yun Qing is terrified. He kneels and cries for mercy, his pale neck like snow, the corners of his eyes flushed red, both voluptuous and pure. Where he can't see, something invisible throbs wildly and silently, its eyes fixed on him without a blink... Theme: Running a small business isn't easy. It takes hard work and honesty.
