I Use Technology to Revitalize the Underworld

[My new novel, The Unlucky Guy Reborn and Determined to Grind, is now underway. Please add it to your favorites!]

Blurb: Feng Jingchen was a model young man who grew up under the red flag. He had just stepped out of the college entrance exam hall when the King of Hell's seal fell from the sky and smacked him on the forehead, making him the newly appointed King of Hell.

The seal brought Feng Jingchen to the underworld, where garbage littered the ground, the stench was overwhelming, and the place was desolate and devoid of ghosts.

King of Hell's Seal: Quick! Pick up the garbage and sell it through the plane System for resources. Work hard and build a wonderful new underworld, young man!

Looking at the sudden change in the course of his life, Feng Jingchen fell into deep thought.

Later.

Feng Jingchen: The talisman patterns of the cultivation world seem to be made up of lots of small modules arranged in different combinations. I'll try adapting them for industrial production.

King of Hell's Seal: Don't even think about it! This is one of the most profound aspects of the Great Dao. There's no way a machine could reproduce it!

And yet...

The underworld's talisman factory opened. It not only boosted employment in the underworld, but also sent countless high-quality, affordable talismans to the markets of the myriad worlds, bringing back endless supplies. The dilapidated underworld began to show signs of prosperity.

King of Hell's Seal: ???

Feng Jingchen: The wakefulness potion from the magic world works well, but it tastes awful. If we turned it into a carbonated drink, it should sell really well.

King of Hell's Seal: Impossible! They use magical materials to make it. If you add bubbles without any energy, it'll definitely explode!

And yet...

Fengdu-brand energy soda took the myriad worlds by storm.

Vengeful ghosts causing trouble in the human world lined up to turn themselves in, just so they wouldn't have to pay scalpers exorbitant prices for the delicious drink.

King of Hell's Seal: Who am I? Where am I?

Feng Jingchen: I noticed that the sealed objects in the Cthulhu world keep causing trouble unless they're sealed. Doesn't their energy ever run out? Let's buy some and use them to make perpetual-motion machines!

King of Hell's Seal (dubiously): Want to give it a try?

And yet...

All the sealed objects in the entire Cthulhu plane were worked to death!

King of Hell's Seal: Congratulations, Your Majesty! The people of the new Cthulhu world now call you the strongest evil god!!

Feng Jingchen: ...

Blurb: Yan Shuling's constitution and luck were both rock bottom, and he died on the third day after the apocalypse began.

Fortunately, he was reborn three years earlier, on the launch day of the world's first full-dive virtual reality game, Ask the Immortals.

The only hope of surviving the apocalypse lies in this revolutionary game.

This time, Yan Shuling won't miss a single chance to change his fate!

Starting stat allocation?

Yan Shuling gives up all his luck points and puts them into constitution!

In the face of absolute strength, every unlucky guy is just a paper tiger.

And so...

*

A divine-grade material with a one percent chance of dropping from a dungeon boss?

Yan Shuling: If it doesn't drop after one run, I'll do a hundred runs, a thousand runs!

Later.

PVE raid leader: Damn it! Why are the materials from this dungeon so cheap? They lose money on electricity every time they run it!

Wearing gear made from divine-grade materials, Yan Shuling: Time to start the next dungeon.

*

A limited-edition title that's easier to get by giving an NPC more precious gifts?

Yan Shuling: Got it.

Later.

Players: 〒▽〒 Help!! Which great player gave the goddess the Heart of the Ocean? Now she thinks my seashell is pathetic and won't accept my gift!

Putting on his new title, Yan Shuling: I think the next NPC will give me a hidden manual.

*

A hidden quest that has a chance to drop from the world boss. But the boss only appears once a week?

Yan Shuling heads straight to the boss's lair: Is the boss here? Come out and fight!

The boss, having just been beaten into despair: Are you insane?!

*

Later, the whole game and its players were pushed by Yan Shuling to run themselves ragged.

When the apocalypse's invading army from his previous life crossed over,

They were met by a group of players decked out in god-tier gear and absurdly powerful, yet all calling themselves noobs and slackers.

Invaders (dropping to their knees): Dad, we're sorry!!

Upcoming novel two: What Kind of Immortal Cultivation Can You Do Without Paying?

Blurb: Dao Gu, a notorious research madman in the interstellar world, transmigrated to Earth during its spiritual qi revival after an accident.

An unprecedented new energy source, spiritual qi, drove the little madman completely mad!

First! He'd make a data-collection app and turn the entire world into his experimental subjects!

One day later.

The mobile game Cultivation Compendium burst onto the scene. Cultivate with technology, and everyone can attain the Dao and ascend.

Certain secret organizations quietly researching cultivation: It's just a trash mobile game. Nothing to worry about.

Not long after

APP: Tap to claim a free introductory cultivation guide. Join us on the path to immortality~

Players: What the hell! It's real! I can see spiritual qi, and it's gorgeous!

Secret organizations: Hah, paid shills. Let's keep researching cultivation.

*

APP: Ding! A rare treasure has appeared within one kilometer of you! Go check it out~

Players: Wow~~ This is awesome, love you~

Secret organizations: This game company has some pretty convincing shills.

An hour later, a player livestreams finding a rare treasure.

Secret organizations: ???

Investigate! Who developed this game? Find out for me!

The research genius every faction is searching for is currently so hungry he's dizzy, clutching his research data: "Huo Yin, help me up... I can keep grinding!"

His boyfriend, Huo Yin, who had just transmigrated with him: ...

The interstellar general, who only knows how to fight, looks at their empty wallets and silently opens his phone to search the Blue Star internet: What's the fastest way to make money?

A week later, the app gets an update

APP: New gacha system now live! Pay 1,000 and get 1,000 more. Your exclusive SSS-grade divine weapon is waiting for you~~

Players: ??? You little rascal, you've changed!

The secret organizations, ready to get everything for free: ...

A shout-out to my friend’s upcoming no-CP novel, Earthling Cubs Must Level Up on Their Own, by Yi Chi Shu.

Blurb:

In the Apocalypse Era, the universe explodes. Earth, carrying the will of all living things, transmigrates to another time and space. There it finds a chaotic continent, surrounded by gods who all want to monopolize its energy.

Earth: If I eat it, I can come back to life??(﹃??)

Earth sneaks onto the continent under the gods' watchful eyes and secretly summons its children, the souls of Earth's living creatures, to use as players.

From then on, a sect called Earth appears on the continent.

They come from the dark forbidden zone, fearless, unafraid, and shameless!!!

They can't be killed, they're greedy as locusts, and they strip the land bare wherever they go!

-

Earth: Cubs, new mission: move into the northwest region~

Players: Time to explore! Dig three feet down, don't leave a single blade of grass behind~ Bring it all back to Earth!

-

They conquer one region after another and claim one secret realm after another. The locals can only join Earth with tears in their eyes.

Later...

Every living creature on the whole continent joins Earth!

From then on, the continent gets a new name.

Earth takes a bite of the continent's energy: I'm so damn amazing, smug.jpg

The gods: Who touched our cake!!!

Theme: Learn from everyone's strengths and build a harmonious, prosperous society through science.
