Blurb: Other people open pet shops selling cats, dogs, rabbits, and alpacas, all soft and adorable, and wildly popular.

Zhou Hei opens a pet shop: One draw, a crayfish. Another draw, an oyster.

Zhou Hei: ...

Zhou Hei: I don't want a crayfish. I want a cat! These aren't pets, they're food, aren't they?

System: Every third draw is guaranteed to be a cute pet.

Later, when he finally draws a cute pet, Zhou Hei: ... System, can you stop screwing me over? System, come save me!

White-robed cultivator: Shopkeeper Zhou, I've suffered for years from the malignant tumors of the demon race.

Zhou Hei: That's a parasitic infection. How about trying an external parasite removal treatment with crayfish?

Demon Race's Right Protector: The Mark of the Blood Moon has been a great affliction to me.

Zhou Hei: That's just cracked skin caused by dryness. How about an oyster beauty treatment?

Beautiful female cultivator: My spiritual energy was out of balance today, and I lost the sect competition.

Zhou Hei: Quick, one set of kitty acupuncture will fix that right away. Fair prices, no cheating.

Spiritual energy stagnating?

Don't worry, try a set of kitty acupuncture.

Meridians blocked?

Don't panic, try a set of doggy boxing.

Born with an incomplete constitution?

Our shop's latest alpaca package: one spit and you're good as new.

What? People who can't find a cultivation partner are coming too?

Don't worry. The Mosquito Sutra will give you a little boost. You'll be surrounded by romantic luck, and countless mosquitoes will fall for you, following you to the ends of the earth and never leaving your side.

Immortals: Waaaaah, this is a scam shop! We want to file a complaint!

Upcoming novel: I Brought Earth Players to the Stars to Make Games

[Fourth Calamity, No CP, Two-Way Full-Dive Game]

In the interstellar age, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and humanity no longer needs ancient games.

It was an ancient game program abandoned by various planets and their rulers.

Before it was completely destroyed, it summoned an ancient Earth human on the verge of death, letting him take over its body and help it fulfill its wish of restoring the glory of the ancient game program.

You Hei, who would die if he failed to fulfill the wish: ...

Scamming one person is a scam. Scamming a whole crowd is a scam too.

So he turned his body into a full-dive game combining multiple genres.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he lured players from all over Earth into it, making them complete quests and do manual labor while he sat back and reaped the rewards.

Recently, an ancient full-dive game has become popular across the star sectors.

Its archaic setting, long history, strange and unusual shops, inexplicable mini-games, and a crowd of NPCs modeled on ancient Earth humans...

Have made the people of the stars unable to tear themselves away.

Interstellar Player 1: "The NPCs in there even swear at you, and they swear so filthily I can't even swear back properly."

Interstellar Player 2: "Tell me about it. All I did was accidentally knock down his house. What was so great about that rundown shack anyway? It was full of holes and bound to collapse sooner or later. The moment I said that, the NPC grabbed a club and tried to take me down with him."

Meanwhile, on Earth...

"At last, a full-dive game in my lifetime!"

A business simulation full-dive game launched on Earth. One by one, the Earth players who secured beta access entered the game, claimed plots of land, and built their own shops.

An Earth player angrily commented on the game's official account: "The NPCs in this game are too much! I worked my butt off building a haunted house. I was just one step away from opening it, and that NPC tore it down right in front of me!"

Another Earth player's hands were trembling: "The NPCs in there can't handle losing! They just can't!"

"He lost a game and wouldn't admit it, so I argued with him."

"When he couldn't win the argument, he hit me and trashed my shop!"

Interstellar players: "We're the players. They're NPCs."

Earth players: "Funny, that's what we think too."

#I brought Earth players to the stars to play a game, while the interstellar players think I'm taking them to play a game set on ancient Earth.#

#I opened an old-fashioned entertainment district in an interstellar full-dive game.#

#I made a business simulation full-dive game on Earth.#

#Making a game with all my heart, and scamming both sides with equal dedication.#
