Please Keep a Firm Grip on Your Wrench

My new novel, After the Demolition, My Whole Family Made the Pig-Butchering Scam List, is now open for advance collection. Also accepting advance follows for Can Infinite Failures Only Deduct Love? Please add them to your collection, thanks!~ Blurb: Jian Ruo, an auto mechanic with a terminal illness and crushing debts, crawled out from under a car. The bespectacled man in a sharp suit standing before her told her that her wealthy biological father had finally found her. But there was a catch: she had to donate a kidney to her stepmother and give up any ideas of claiming an inheritance alongside her older brother and sisters. Jian Ruo looked at him, tightened her grip on her wrench, and told him to get lost. But a mechanical voice suddenly rang in her mind. "At midnight tonight, you will wake up in his bed and take his place in a horrifying murder." "Failure penalty: death." "Success reward: attribute points that can be spent on the golden trio of intelligence, strength, and constitution." "You can refuse, but you will die suddenly." Jian Ruo sized up the bespectacled man, who was 185 centimeters tall and solidly built, thought it over, and finally agreed. At midnight, she woke up in a pink, lace-covered bed, only to find herself surrounded by darkness. She had possessed a blind girl who was only 150 centimeters tall. Jian Ruo: "???" Click. The door lock suddenly turned. A ghost-possession-style modern-day story with alternate-space dungeons. If you were about to encounter a serial killer tonight, would you be afraid? If you are, then grip the wrench in your hand and fight for your right to survive. There are too many romantic options, so the heroine focuses on survival and shines on her own. Our gloomy heroine will regain her confidence and rise from the mire to the peak of life. My new novel, After the Spiritual Qi Revival, is now open. Synopsis: Notice: This novel will go premium on March 22. There will be three updates that day. Starting a new novel is hard, so please add it to your collection and subscribe. Thank you. After the spiritual qi revival, students across the country who were obsessed with exam prep began acting in all sorts of strange ways. One sat in an SSS-class mecha and drew a forty-eight-meter spirit blade. One spoke, and reality obeyed: "XXX, turn into a pig!" One stood on one leg as divine thunder descended, striking scumbag men with 100% accuracy. One was a noble gentleman, aloof from the world, who casually unleashed the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin. And another produced a spotless, snow-white, perfectly rounded toilet (which could change forms later), made a quick calculation, and declared, "XXX, absorb!" In an instant, heaven and earth were plunged into darkness, and the soil was stripped from the land for thousands of miles. That person was A Diao. A Diao was so powerful entirely thanks to the painstaking support of her family and friends. The more blood they coughed up, the stronger their support. After the spiritual qi revival, A Diao obtained a supreme treasure: a toilet. It was very strange. To gain energy, she had to win other people's affection or hatred. So... A Diao went to see her official father. He had grand plans for her: she was to be virtuous and proper, marry into a prestigious family, and bring honor to the clan. A Diao was thrilled. "Father, I think that prince is promising. He's got the makings of a successful rebel, and I clearly have the potential to become empress!" Her father's resentment: +999! Her mother was a stunning concubine, peerless in beauty, overflowing with a green-tea temperament, and skilled at scheming and sucking up. She fully supported her daughter in seducing a prince to pave the way for her younger son. Even becoming a concubine would be a respectable path forward. A Diao was excited. "Mother, I think my younger brother is useless at both literature and martial arts, but his looks are even better than yours. I've already contacted the lustful eldest princess. Now we just have to wait for him to grow up." Her mother's resentment: +999! Her older brother was a top student and at first disliked his illegitimate younger sister, who was always flirting with people. A Diao said aggrievedly, "Brother, we may have different mothers, but actually, we're the most alike in the family." Her brother: "We're both smart?" A Diao: "No, we're both ugly, so we can only get by on talent." Her brother's resentment: +999! Her younger brother was a... A Diao: "Get lost. Go do your practice questions." Her younger brother's resentment: +1+1+1+1... Later, A Diao's wicked ways were finally exposed: flirting around and juggling so many partners that she could split into a centipede spirit. But by then, she was one of the big shots at the empire's top university. The empire's elites couldn't beat her, so they could only grit their teeth and keep feeding her++++ mental energy. Only her equally peerless deskmate, a monstrous genius who was also the strongest fighter at the university, calmly told her, "I saw a coat I like recently. I want to give it to you." A Diao: "What kind of coat?" Deskmate: "A Diao-skin coat." A Diao: "..." Worldbuilding synopsis: Everyday technology is on an interstellar level, while the empire has a feudal civilization with powerful martial arts. There is an empire, Taobao, and the gaokao. In this bizarre world, Chen A Diao is an illegitimate daughter nobody likes, born into the family of a minor official near the bottom of the social ladder. Sent to a remote mountain monastery to fend for herself, she figures her only way out is to save up for plastic surgery or seduce a rich husband and force him to marry her by getting pregnant. Then her family's outhouse explodes... and she buys a toilet. The toilet becomes a spirit, and the world changes. She wins over all her rich suitors (yes, all of them). About the heroine: To escape poverty, she is determined to marry into a rich family, though she has no idea how strong she is or how much of a bottomless pit her own luck is. She loves goji berry and chrysanthemum tea, is a professional sweet-potato digger, and was trained in a complete funeral-service trade. Her everyday artistic skills include paper folding and flower folding, as well as summoning generals by dotting their eyes. Psychic abilities at a glance: control, telepathy, and the abnormal type (like the heroine). That's the plan for now. It may be revised later. Jin Ge's next novel, Loser Comeback Livestream, is now open for advance collection. Here's the synopsis: You're cooking when your drunken husband comes home, shouting. You hastily wipe your hands on your apron and rush out. He flings his foul-smelling socks at your face. You smell perfume on him. He tugs at his tie, calls you a clumsy old hag, shoves you aside, ignores your crying daughter, then goes into the bathroom and takes a shit for an hour and a half. And through those long years, day after day, your flesh and soul will wither away. So you go into the kitchen and pick up the bloodstained cleaver. The above is a preview of the first beginner-level story, "The Desperate Housewife," from the hyper-temporal black-tech Loser Comeback Livestream. To learn more, wait for the gods to descend. "Would you like to become a god?" When Xiao Mingwei heard the voice, she was trapped in dire straits. After selecting "Confirm," she found herself in a small kitchen, a stinky sock in her left hand and a bloodstained cleaver in her right. Story One: The Desperate Housewife (ongoing) Story Two: Pig's Trotters Under the Desk (not started) Story Three: A Corpse at the Banquet (not started) Story Four: The War for the House (not started) Story Five: After Being PUA'd by a Scumbag (not started) Story Six: The Severed Finger Sent by the Kidnapper (not started) Story N: ... The order of these stories is not fixed and is just a tentative guide. P.S. Points donated by livestream viewers can be exchanged for hyper-temporal black technology. Black tech can create anything, bringing wealth and glory in abundance. It can break through the prisons of power and crime, let nobodies turn their lives around, and take them to the peak of life. The so-called losers are those whom society considers failures, because society is just society. My next novel, Mutants (Future Mutation War), is now open. World setting: The year is 2500. Resources are depleted, and technology has developed along a single path: firearms, biological mutation, and energy. The world is on the brink of a wasteland-era transformation. Living resources are at an all-time low, the mainstream political system is collapsing, and corporate conglomerates control everything. The wealth gap is enormous, identity cards now bear class markers, and society has reached the extreme of entertainment. Synopsis: Global climate change and a radiation disaster have exposed mysterious regions in the seas and on land. With resources equaling wealth, the Tianxi Consortium, one of the world's biggest capital groups, has concluded that developing Ruins B05 in the Deep Red Zone, a sea region it had heavily invested in, has failed. It therefore sends the Ninth Exploration Team to investigate the ruins. Sui Xin, a frail historical and environmental studies consultant on the exploration team, is one of the consortium's highly intelligent middle-class employees. She is very different from the team's burly members, who carry lethal weapons. But on their very first day, the entire convoy is swallowed by fog, and the tires corrode and burst. With a deafening crash, their vehicle plunges into a deep ravine. When Sui Xin wakes from the pain, she sees that her arm hurts. She feels it with her fingers and finds a two-centimeter-long worm crawling beneath her skin. In a pool where the wrecked car lies, countless wriggling blood-red worms are swimming toward her. At that moment, she knows it's over. Then she suddenly realizes that everyone chosen for this mission seems to belong to the lowest classes, E and D, according to their identity cards. And she is E, the very bottom. What Sui Xin doesn't know is that the moment she touches her arm, a global livestream begins. Livestream rooms around the world, including those run by the Tianxi Consortium in various ruins, display this advertisement: They are trapped in desperate ruins and will face certain death, but they will also carry the hope of humanity and undergo genetic mutation! The promotional gimmick is loud and flashy, and people are dropping like flies in the ruins. The immense wealth brought in by the livestream makes the capitalists beam with delight. But they never expected that three days later, some of these people would actually mutate. The mutants go on a killing spree during the livestream, savage and powerful, on the verge of breaking out of their prison in the ruins and returning to the human world. They are about to take revenge. Humanity panics and votes worldwide to execute the mutants trapped in the ruins. The capitalists and human society then send hunting troops and mercenaries into the ruins to exterminate the mutants and rescue the poor souls who haven't changed. Later, Sui Xin is brought back as an unmutated survivor. The young heir of the consortium smiles and asks whether she'd rather be locked in a laboratory and studied like a rat, or lower her head and become his plaything. Five minutes later, in the bathroom, Sui Xin washes the scorching blood from her hands. In the mirror, her eyes are a pure, blood-red. First mutation ability: Skin-contact mimicry and disguise. After returning to the consortium, she soon learns a secret: mutants have very short lifespans. The stronger the mutation, the worse the cellular decay and backlash. Only the major consortiums have the means to develop an antidote. Mutation types include flight, telepathy, lie detection, limb duplication and imitation, invisibility, control, and bodily transformation into animals (radiation and viral mutations that can turn a person into a cockroach, rat, lionfish, shrimp, bird, and so on, though the creature's instincts may take over). Mutant abilities are usually limited to a single type. Only a tiny number of monstrous geniuses can transform in multiple ways. Most are still flesh and blood, and can be killed by physical or energy-based attacks. P.S. This is a future mutation war in a highly unstable, class-stratified society. At its core, it is a future apocalypse brought about by excessive corporatization, environmental and energy crises, the wealth gap, and an entertainment culture driven by extreme hedonism. It is not meant to reflect today's society, but is purely a work of future speculation. The battle scenes are limited to low-level supernatural abilities, not deified or immortalized: low-level magic, occult energy, and martial arts. Theme: Persevere through adversity and reach for the light.
