Originally titled *I Build My Territory Through Instances* (the cover was changed after the title was revised)
Ye Zhi, a calculating beauty who always put pragmatism first, had finally met his match.
One careless moment was all it took for a crazed admirer to stab him, sending Ye Zhi to an early grave.
But perhaps evil really does outlive a thousand years. The Faith Collection System (Beta) came looking for Ye Zhi.
One defective System, desperate to bind itself to a Host and prove its worth so it could escape being destroyed.
One ruthless beauty with an overwhelming will to survive.
They hit it off at once, became partners in crime, and began causing a stir in another world.
Ye Zhi looked at the barren, desolate land he had inherited and the ragged residents who looked like refugees.
He took a deep breath and consoled himself: at least he was still alive, right?
"The top priority is to transform this land, where hardly a blade of grass grows. What should I do?"
"Any recommendations?"
[Host, you can visit instance worlds to earn all sorts of things you need.]
[It's a better deal than spending Faith Points on items from the System Shop. It's just a little dangerous.]
Ye Zhi's red lips curled into a faint smile. "Dangerous? No. Life is better with a little excitement and peril. A life without a ripple is just too dull."
When he discovered that the instances the System had mentioned were crawling with ghosts and monsters, Ye Zhi's face darkened. His inviting red lips gently uttered a single word: "Damn!"
The male and female leads meet more or less like this:
Ye Zhi arrives in an instance world and sees the abundant supplies. Thinking of his own territory, which is so poor it echoes, his eyes turn green.
As the saying goes, take every last scrap and dig three feet into the ground. Of course, that would be impossible. How could the elegant and beautiful Ye Zhi be so vicious?
Everyone else has just one response: "Yeah, right!"
After weathering countless pitfalls, from backstabbing teammates to pets stabbing him in the back, the tenacious Ye Zhi holds the hard-won fragments of a Godhead and smiles with satisfaction.
Then a lunatic of a Lord God says, "That's mine."
Ye Zhi swallows the fragment of the Godhead in one gulp. "What's yours? Call it over and see if it listens to you."
The new Lord God, who had just killed the previous one, stares blankly. This guy is shameless! But he likes it.
About updates: Updates are irregular, but I won't abandon the story!
Coming soon:
*Opening an Inn in a Horror Game*:
Yu Chengfeng's identity is a mystery. His past is unknown, and even his species is listed as **.
The System bound to him is dumbfounded. Could it be... infected with a virus?
The brand-new little System bursts into tears. It firmly believes the Lord God is the greatest, so it refuses to believe its own scan could fail to retrieve such basic information. Someone must have maliciously infected it with a virus!
Tsk! Yu Chengfeng clicks his tongue and stops himself from crushing the unknown object.
He patiently learns about the sobbing little System. It turns out the little guy is a newly manufactured inn-management System. Yu Chengfeng thinks it over. He's been a little bored lately, and he's never run an inn before. Why not give it a try?
The somewhat lazy Yu Chengfeng hasn't made up his mind yet when, the next morning, he wakes up and finds himself dragged into a horror-game instance called [Escape Livestream].
Tsk! He's been letting his guard down lately.
The little System's timid, babyish voice sounds beside him. "W-where are we?"
Yu Chengfeng curls his lips into a smile. "Our inn?"
Later, an inn called Ning'an Inn opens across the worlds of the game instances.
At first, the players complain that the inn charges too much, practically robbing them in broad daylight. Later, getting a room becomes a mad scramble.
The instance bosses are initially disdainful. "You think you can make me move? Keep dreaming! I'll eat you!" But later, as soon as they hear that someone surnamed Yu has arrived, they grab their luggage and run. Forget the house!
This is the story of an unlucky man who is first pestered by a crybaby System and then unexpectedly pulled into a horror game, where he casually fights monsters and runs an inn.
Add it to your collection if you're interested!
