Building Infrastructure in a Magical World

Column preorders: "After Leaving the Entertainment Industry, I Became the Top-Tier Star of the Esports World" and "After the Mary Sue Transmigrates into an Infinite-Flow World." Please add them to your reading list~

Jiang Ruxi transmigrated into a book, landing in a Mary Sue novel.

It was a fantasy world filled with magic everywhere.

Other people transmigrate to follow the plot. He just wanted to build infrastructure, and maybe date the mage he had liked for ages in the novel.

From malatang and milk tea to barbecue and fried chicken, from shopping malls to amusement parks, Jiang Ruxi started companies, held competitions, organized talent shows, and made blind boxes in the magical world. He built his business into an empire, succeeded as an entrepreneur, and spread the 996 work ethic throughout the entire magical world, becoming its biggest capitalist.

Customer A: I hate this! Why do I have to collect blind boxes just to get milk tea? When will I ever pull the secret edition?

Customer B: Thanks, Boss Jiang! At last, I can fulfill my dream of lying at home and waiting for takeout!

Customer C: Boss Jiang, will you reprint the merchandise for the serialized novel in your company's newspaper? I want to buy everything, okay?

Customer D: Boss Jiang, why did the little sister I picked get benched? Sob! Did I not spend enough money?

Of course, starting a business wasn't easy. While Jiang Ruxi was still selling malatang from a street stall and getting depressed over how broke he was, he saw his mage wife.

Jiang Ruxi: Honey!

Chu Li: ?

Jiang Ruxi: Honey...cake. Want a piece?

"After Leaving the Entertainment Industry, I Became the Top-Tier Star of the Esports World"

Top-tier star Cen Qi and award-winning actor Fu Cang starred together in an esports danmei drama. As expected, it became an instant hit, and they were constantly trending.

But Fu Cang found love, while Cen Qi found his dream.

On the day the drama ended, Cen Qi announced on Weibo that he was leaving the entertainment industry because he wanted to play esports.

The CP fans who had just gotten into the show and Fu Cang, who had been preparing to confess: ???

Big news recently rocked the gaming world: a minor celebrity who had left the entertainment industry said he was going to play esports. Countless esports fans cursed him out, telling Cen Qi to take his brainless fans and get lost, and not to come ruin their gaming scene.

Amid the torrent of abuse, Cen Qi, whom nobody had any faith in, bought a shabby team and rose from the lower leagues all the way to the world championship, winning so many trophies he could barely keep track.

The esports crowd: So he's one of those players who just has natural talent.

Once dismissed by the media as a stubborn fool doomed to flop, Cen Qi recreated the glory of his entertainment-industry debut in esports. He won match after match, became even more popular than before, and kept trending, just for a different reason.

The entertainment-industry crowd: Hello, are you sure you actually left the industry???

His old fans admired his looks while learning gaming skills; his new fans admired his skills while swooning over his looks. Both groups got along wonderfully.

Fans: The drama had no real-life inspiration. Cen Qi worked hard and became the inspiration himself.

Fu Cang had been secretly in love with Cen Qi all along. He thought their danmei drama would be a great chance to confess, but who could have guessed that he wouldn't win Cen Qi over and Cen Qi would leave the entertainment industry instead?

Fu Cang: So what if I have to chase you from the entertainment world to the esports world? I can do that : )

Fu Cang: So, how do you play this game?

A clueless, bad-at-games gong x a shou who's great at gaming

"After the Mary Sue Transmigrates into an Infinite-Flow World"

An Chi was a rich young master from a Mary Sue world, with an impeccable life story and a beautiful head of hair that changed color with his mood.

Though he thought the world he lived in was a little strange, life was still meant to be enjoyed. Even having to take a helicopter to the bathroom every day wasn't something he couldn't put up with.

Then, without warning, he transmigrated, going from a Mary Sue young master to a rookie streamer in an escape game.

An Chi, whose first mission was to get out of bed: Where's the bed? Aren't all beds supposed to be at least 400 square meters?

[Livestream viewers: Kind of cute.]

This was a world where you had to keep making choices, for yourself and for others. But the Mary Sue young master's understanding of this world seemed a little different.

He had just escaped from a terrifying dormitory when the System issued a new mission, and a multiple-choice question appeared in front of An Chi.

[You're going to investigate the bathroom by taking a shower. What should you change into?]

A. Sunny beach shorts

B. Gentle maid outfit

C. Restrained business suit

[Your livestream viewers have chosen the gentle maid outfit for you. Good luck exploring!]

An Chi: Isn't this what the servants in my house wear?

[The ghosts are hot on your heels. What should you do?]

A. Turn around and fight back

B. Keep running

C. Make fun of him for being bald

[Your livestream viewers have chosen "Make fun of him for being bald." Do your best to survive!]

An Chi: So bald people really exist in this world!?

The livestream viewers' choices were out of control. At least An Chi could still control his own skill.

It was just a bit of a hassle, since every time he needed to find someone to take a stab at him...

For the sake of his life, An Chi had to find a regular partner. But why did this man look so much like his long-missing fiance, the man who controlled the world's economic lifeline?

[Ding! Someone close to you has been detected. We've successfully taken 1.44447 cuts for you. You're one step closer to success!]

An Chi: Bro... how are you doing in this world?

Fiance: ...I've got my hands on the economic lifeline of the infinite-flow world?
