I Found a Little Mermaid on the Edge of a Cliff

[Upcoming novel "The System Is Broken. It Needs a Hug to Work Again [Quick Transmigration]". Please add it to your favorites] Ran Xi transmigrated into a mermaid world on the brink of collapse. The world was collapsing because its child of fortune, a battle-hardened, cold and ruthless Imperial general, had tragically fallen. The only way to prevent the world from collapsing was to keep restoring its fortune. How was he supposed to do that? Ran Xi was at a loss. Then he found a little mermaid with silver hair and purple eyes who could hop around on his tail. To Ran Xi's surprise, he discovered that: Telling the little mermaid all about the general's heroic battles against sea demons increased fortune by 10? Hand-drawing a picture book about the general for the little mermaid increased fortune by 20? Ran Xi was overjoyed. But the little mermaid had a strange temper. Whenever he heard the words “General Sir,” he either frowned in disgust or flicked his tail and hopped away. To make the fortune score rise smoothly, Ran Xi specially sewed a chibi doll of the general and gave it to the little mermaid. He also animatedly described how much he admired the general. The little mermaid stared at the doll, very serious. “Do you really like the general that much?” Ran Xi answered with complete sincerity. “Of course! General Sir is the person I admire most!” The little mermaid finally accepted the doll. Just as Ran Xi had hoped, the fortune score shot sky-high! After that, the little mermaid stopped resisting the stories about General Sir. But as he listened, his pointed ears would twitch strangely from time to time. Later… Ran Xi opened the front door and found a handsome young man in a black-and-gold military uniform inside. The stranger transformed his legs into a stunning fish tail, the tips of his ears turning red as he solemnly corrected Ran Xi: “The story you told yesterday was wrong.” “The tip of the general's tail has no scales. It's soft to the touch.” “If you don't believe me… why don't you check?” Ran Xi: ?? Later still… Ran Xi received a notification from the System: [Abnormal changes detected in the world's fortune! It has surged five times in the past 24 hours! Please investigate the cause!] Ran Xi's legs trembled as he clutched his aching waist, his face bright red and his mouth firmly shut. #Don't ask.

It's a collection of sweet little stories about farming and opening shops~ Mo Mo works for the Transmigration Management Bureau. His partner, System 009, is the Bureau's finest System, with exceptional analytical and predictive abilities. Just as Mo Mo was about to leave his post, System 009 malfunctioned and shattered itself into pieces, which fell into countless small worlds. The Main System told Mo Mo: 009's final message said that if all its fragments were found and hugged one by one, it would be restored. A hug? That's easy. And so Mo Mo set off on a journey to repair the System. And so: First world: Mo Mo decided to transmigrate into something adorable that everyone would love, so even a cold, emotionless System would instinctively want to hug him. He got his wish and became a little white rabbit. When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves staring at him with glowing green eyes, especially the huge, pitch-black alpha wolf. Mo Mo's white fur stood on end. “I-I didn't think this through…” Rabbit spirit protagonist x wolf spirit love interest Second world: Mo Mo decided he absolutely had to become a fierce animal, like a wolf spirit System. He got his wish and became a little wolf. When he woke up, his four limbs were tied together and he was hanging upside down. A hunter beside him squeezed the scruff of his neck. “Nice fur. He'll fetch a good price.” Mo Mo's tail went rigid. “T-That's ridiculous…” Wolf spirit protagonist x hunter love interest Third world: Mo Mo decided he absolutely had to become a strong human, like a hunter System. He got his wish and became a monster hunter. When he woke up, he was lying in a glittering pile of treasure. A dragon loomed over him, its sharp claws slowly tearing open his hunter's armor.
