The blurb for this novel:
[The identity cards derived from this instance are "Clown," "Balloon Distributor," and "Dessert Lover." Would you like to draw one at random?]
As the newly appointed Demon King, Qiexiya was pulled into a space that called itself an "instance." Everything here was utterly unfamiliar, and a strange voice threatened her: if she failed to clear the instance, she would die.
But she didn't care.
Ever since a tiny figure appeared, it had captured all of her attention.
Humans!
Breathing, two-legged, lively humans!
An extinct species from ancient books, the legendary saviors, a top resource for purifying corruption... Yet here they were, running all over the instance and trembling in fear of monsters.
Qiexiya struck down the monsters and hacked them to pieces, then turned to the helpless humans with a kindly smile:
Even if she had to take a thousand steps back, couldn't she just bring these humans home?
In the haunted amusement park, she hid her identity, patiently coaxed people along, and smashed every ghost in the park, until a human girl followed her around calling her "Big Sis."
At the psychiatric hospital, the director told her to sacrifice one person to save everyone else. But she didn't want to choose anyone. Choices are for children. She wanted them all!
So she forced the "god" to become the offering and calmly led every human away.
At the human farm, she humbly learned what she could, discarded what she couldn't, carried out a great reform, and even rose into management.
In the end, she secretly spirited the humans away and emptied the entire farm...
*After several instances, an unwritten rule began circulating among the NPCs: If you see a player with golden hair, red eyes, and a balloon tied to them, be kind to every human in the instance!
The protagonist of the rumors, Qiexiya, was racing through an instance. She casually grabbed a passing NPC and smiled sweetly:
"Excuse me, where can I find some humans around here?"
Instance One: The Blind Amusement Park
"Give up your eyes, and you will enter a world of bliss."
Instance Two: First-Class Psychiatric Hospital
"A new patient has arrived at the psychiatric hospital. He used to be a bestselling novelist, but he refuses to pick up his pen again. It seems he's afraid of 'them.'"
"The rain is flowing blood, and the mud is human flesh and bone. Shh! Don't let them see you."
Instance Three: Abnormal Romance
"Choose a romantic partner from the creatures below, and let them choose a romantic way for you to die."
Instance Four: Hide-and-Seek
"Excuse me, have you seen it?"
"It's the dream that rots at night, the red lantern hanging high, the black shadow beneath the streetlamp whose face you can't make out. It hides behind the smiling mannequins in the mall, crawls into the deflated costumes at the amusement park, and lurks beneath your desk after school..."
"It's right beside you."
Instance Five: Eden
"When entering the instance, players will be deprived of their five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch."
"Please eat the apple in front of you. The sense restored for you this time is: hearing."
Instance Six: Human Farm
"When shopping for humans, be sure to choose a human farm!"
Instance Seven: Ordinary World
"Find the one extraordinary thing in this ordinary world."

After transmigrating into a world of terrifying strange tales, Lin Yuhe bound herself to a simulation management System from the start, and was tasked with running an inn.
The building in front of her was decrepit and filled with a musty stench. The floorboards creaked beneath her feet.
Would anyone really stay at an inn with drafts coming in from every direction and not even a bed?
She was on the verge of tears, as if she could already see her tragic future dying here.
[The strange tale [Nightmare] has been detected near the inn. Host, please invite it inside and recruit it as the five-star furniture [Sweet-Dream Bed].]
[Quest reward: [Sturdy Walls] x4.]
...Wait, she could turn strange tales into furniture?
Lin Yuhe's eyes lit up at once. She looked at the strange tale with no fear, only barely contained excitement.
The Nightmare Game descended, and the sanity levels of people around the world plummeted.
Horror lurked everywhere. Even sleeping could trigger it, and one little mistake could leave you trapped in chaos forever.
Just as people were losing hope, an inn dropped from the sky.
Bright lights that drove away fear, sturdy walls that kept strange tales out, soft beds that brought sweet dreams...
Wasn't this the legendary safe house?
Players went wild, scrambling to get a room at the inn.
The inn became an overnight sensation, with beds in short supply.
To expand the facilities and staff, Lin Yuhe was either sweet-talking strange tales or on her way to sweet-talk more of them.
A fidgety [Siamese Cat] was recruited as an employee. As long as you slept while cuddling the cat, your sanity returned to full, and the chance of being hit by a strange tale dropped significantly;
The Slit-Mouthed Woman became the furniture [Mysterious Painting]. Praise her beauty, and she'll give you the item [Face-Covering Mask]. Once you put it on, strange tales have a chance of mistaking you for one of their own;
The Hungry Ghost was turned into the facility [Delicious Restaurant], which endlessly produced delicious dishes. Eat different foods to gain the corresponding stat bonuses...
As the inn's facilities grew ever more varied, Lin Yuhe's wallet grew ever fatter, and she settled into a happy life of eating, drinking, having fun, and petting cats.
The shabby little building that hadn't even had a bed was expanded into a luxurious, multi-story resort. Countless players competed for a chance to stay at the inn, willing to spend a fortune for just one night.
Seeing a city as bustling as a holiday resort,
A player visiting City A for the first time: Did I transmigrate? Is this really a horror game?!
① One day, Lin Yuhe went out to search for new facilities. She traveled through cities far and wide but couldn't find a single strange tale.
Players were overcome with emotion, calling her their savior. She pointed at herself in confusion: Huh, me?
② When she got home, the entrance to the inn was packed tight. Lin Yuhe had barely stuck her head out when strange tales surrounded her, all eagerly introducing their features in the hope of landing a job at the inn.
Players were overcome with emotion: You still say you're not the savior?
She pointed at herself in confusion: Huh, me?
③ [Congratulations, Host, on completing the full collection achievement. You have received the title [Savior].]
When the System notification sounded, Lin Yuhe was supervising the newly recruited strange tales as they memorized the employee handbook. She looked at the gold-star employees working hard around her, then at herself:
Huh? Wasn't this a simulation management game?

What is the reward? Hehehe (???) Please tell me more. We are not outsiders either.
Finished spreading flowers!!! The baby teddy bear is back!! Perfect ending hehe!! Thea and Veer are together too!! Yay!!
Little Bear is really one of my favorite characters. She is like a flower in a greenhouse that has just faced a storm. She thinks in the best direction for everything and has no defense against anyone. I feel like she and Cecia save each other. Because of Cecia's experience of being betrayed by her "best playmate", Boris, when she was a child, she felt that she was defensive against everyone. She treats everyone with care, but she is always patient with the little bear, and she is the most gentle to the little bear. It felt like Cecia could see that the little bear was wholeheartedly kind to her, and had no bad intentions at all, the clear stupidity of a college student (laughs). I feel that the little bear gave Cecia a sense of security. Cecia's experiences before becoming the Demon King and the obstacles and doubts she faced when she became the Demon King made her become stronger inside again and again, giving her a "I don't care about anything" mentality and turning her into a "fun person". But I feel that she still has a fragile side, a side that is easily injured, but this side has gained a strong shell because of the appearance of the bear. It's that sense of security that no matter what happens, there is someone standing by your side. For the little bear, Cecia is an indispensable companion, friend and thigh (nod). But fortunately the little bear met Cecia, otherwise it would be hard to imagine what would happen to her if she met anyone else. Little Bear is really too innocent. Although simple, she is brave and sincere (just a little bit not very smart (sorry)). When Cesia is in danger, she will risk her life to help Cesia (she is really dead too 😭 😭 😭 why did she knife me 😭 😭 😭) Really, the world owes me a little bear [angry][angry][angry]
I always thought that Boris liked Thea. After all, he had "molested" Thea all kinds of times before, which made me feel that he was a bit yandere, as if he didn't know how to express his love for Thea, so he could only treat Thea through various "likes" that he understood. But after reading the last three chapters, I feel that Boris' feelings for Thea are complicated. Boris himself was very conflicted. Boris was sent to the blood slave camp when he was a child. It can be seen from the dialogue of the guards that 1. Boris used to have a very noble status. 2. His father preferred his younger brother (Veir) so he abandoned him. (Whether it was really because I liked Veer more that I abandoned him is another matter). It can be seen from the conversation between Boris and Thea that Boris enjoyed all the preferential treatment from the nobles before coming to the blood slave camp. And it can be understood from his performance from the beginning that he is a very proud person. This arrogance is reflected in 1. He doesn't even bother to live with the blood slaves, 2. He doesn't even bother to talk to the blood slaves. It is known from his view of the mark that he considers everyone except nobles to be inferior. (He is proud of the mark that shows his noble status, and says Thea's mark is shameful) When Thea fed Boris blood, Boris's first reaction when asked about the taste of blood after he woke up was to blush. I think Boris liked Thea at this time. It's just that because of his "noble" bloodline, he felt that a blood slave like Thea was not worthy of his love. So he later told Thea that Thea was his "true believer." Because he always believed that his status was higher than Thea. Therefore, the lowly Thea can only be a follower of the noble him, not a friend, let alone someone he likes. Thea's previous evaluation of Boris was very pertinent. Boris was a selfish person. In order to return to the aristocracy, he did not hesitate to use Thea's parents as sacrifices in exchange for powerful power. He only lived for his own interests, and until the end he did not regard Thea as a friend, and rescuing Thea was just a "charity". Boris has very conflicting feelings for Thea. I feel that he likes Thea, even if it is a twisted kind of liking. In the previous copy of "Abnormal Love", his murderous intention towards Thea was 100%. I feel that he had strong hatred because Thea, who was once his "most loyal believer", betrayed him. But why can't it be understood that he is angry because the person he likes hates him? In his eyes, Thea is a special blood slave, but a blood slave is a blood slave after all, so he can't understand why Thea hates him because he killed Thea's parents. He believes that everyone should support him, admire him, and fear him. Thea was no exception, and he thought Thea should also be in awe of him. He rescued Thea, I think, to keep Thea by his side as his exclusive blood slave. I think Boris will take Thea to various places. So he felt that Thea should be grateful to him because he fulfilled Thea's previous wish. So he couldn't understand why Thea hated him so much. So he tested Thea over and over again, "Do you remember me?" "Hill, do you like this gift?" "If you don't like it, I won't bother you."
It was so well written, wow, wow, the puppet show used puppets to reflect reality. It reminds me of the saying "Life is like a grass-roots team". Maybe we are all puppets, performing a play for others. The part where the brother and sister were raising a tree was really touching... The metaphor was great!! Mr. White's descriptions of the food are also great! I feel like vomiting through the screen, Cecia is so cool!! Is the person Cecia thought of in the end a foreshadowing? Hehe, I smell the sour smell of love (?
Why are so few people reading this book? I strongly recommend it 😭
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh out out out out there out there out there out there out there but also a story about a beautiful young couple (rolling) (screaming) (starry eyes)
Dragging one copy after another will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
I can't stand it anymore, so I caress the tiger skin and chicken feet. What a greedy boy!
Heartbroken, what should the little bear do?
