A Journey to Open a Shop in Another World [Business]

Thanks to all the lovely readers supporting the official release! Please add my upcoming stories to your reading lists: Spiritual Qi Revival, Starting with a Wooden Cabin and Don't Panic, Eat First [Infinite].

"Hi! Would you like to stay at our inn?"

In the year 2XXX, meteorites fall and a zombie virus runs rampant. The soil and water are polluted, the climate is thrown into chaos, and humanity's home is slowly consumed. Where is there any hope?

While numerous bases are barely holding on and research has ground to a halt, the Four Directions Inn rises out of nowhere and blazes a path through the apocalypse. More and more people hear about it.

An endless supply of food, a community with complete facilities, places to unwind, and even land for growing crops?

After transmigrating, Shi Jiu faces a zombie attack from the start. To get home as soon as possible, she has no choice but to sign a contract of indentured service. Who could have guessed that before the inn even opens, the new-user tutorial would suddenly go offline?

Shi Jiu can only cling tearfully to the System's remains (001: What are you talking about?) and work her hardest, with the distant stars and sea as her goal! All the crystals in the story!

"Have you heard? This inn has cheap room rates and fresh meals!"

"That's nothing. The real selling point is that even zombies can't get in!"

"Hehe, and there's a phone inside you can play with."

"Hey! Where are you going?"

"I'm packing up and hurrying over! Who knows if we'll still be able to get in later!"

"Then count me in!"

More and more people gather around the inn, until it eventually grows into a vast Four Directions City.

By then, Shi Jiu has been promoted to city lord, but she isn't as pleased as she thought she'd be. She can't make sense of it.

"Qin, why does this feel so strange?" Shi Jiu gazes at the prosperous city, wondering how her relationship with Qin Lou progressed so quickly, while opening her mouth to eat the fruit he offers her.

"What's strange about it, Boss?" Qin Lou smiles gently, handsome and warm, no trace remaining of his former aloofness and coldness.

001, munching on its colorful snacks, records the scene in its central processor. It runs the footage through its mechanical memory, and just as it's about to say something, Qin Lou glances at it. Its branches droop sadly.

Waaah, the System is being bullied!

Before I met you, my whole world was gray. My only hope was that bright, sunny voice from back then, which gave me endless vitality.

[Must Read: A Chatty Reading Guide!]

1. This story focuses on the plot. I'm bad at blurbs, and I'm working on the romance.

2. Female-lead focused! The golden finger is powerful, and the worldbuilding is entirely original. The various data in the story doesn't match reality, so please don't treat it as realistic.

3. Please be considerate when reading. Don't overanalyze. Thank you for your support, lovely readers!

[Spiritual Qi Revival | Natural Disasters | System | Management]

At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary typhoon.

Until the relentless downpour brought the Federation a countdown to the apocalypse.

*

Natural disasters continue, communications go down, white fog descends, and fragments of another world's continents appear.

While fleeing, Su Ying unexpectedly gets a wooden cabin golden finger and is told that her path to cultivation is about to begin.

For the sake of her life and future, Su Ying can only work hard and practice day and night.

Need to survive, but have no supplies?

The wooden cabin has your back. It opens up a forest-resource exploration zone, where a tap of your finger lets you harvest a huge amount of resources.

Want to cultivate, but have no spirit stones?

Take advantage of the spiritual qi revival and produce and sell all kinds of goods. Spirit stones will pour into your pockets.

By the time spiritual qi has fully revived and cultivation descends upon the world, while everyone else is cultivating with spirit artifacts in their bodies and fighting for resources,

Su Ying, carrying a full inventory of supplies, turns around and discovers that she's become one of the Federation's most powerful people.

"Planet 9999 has been included in the Main God's System assessment."

"Welcome to the Afterlife Game. This round's instance has begun."

Game instances appear at random, shattering the peaceful retirement life Su Lingling expected after she transmigrated here.

Suddenly thrown into a mysterious world, she's greeted by a "surprise" that makes her reflexively swing her arm, slapping the head right off the NPC in front of her...

NPC: ...

Su Lingling: ...

After a long moment, she watches the NPC run away screaming and clutching its head, then looks down at her own palm.

Wasn't this body supposed to have starved to death? This strength feels more like a dream...

*

One moment, she discovers she's traveled back to a world from over a thousand years ago. The next, she's inside one of these so-called game instances.

Unlike the full-dive games in the interstellar world, these game instances are dangerous enough to get you killed at any moment. More importantly, you're dragged into the game and they don't even feed you!

She's already died once, so of course she values her life even more now. Besides...

Hiding in a corner, Su Lingling pulls out a warm, meaty bun. Getting revived this time was a huge win. It even came with a golden finger.

She eyes the colorful products still locked in the System. Level up! She'll fight to the death to level up!

As for the game instances, of course she'll just keep her head down and survive!

*Keep your head down to the end, and you'll have everything!

*Fighting isn't as satisfying as eating!

*Come be my friend. Friendship comes with food!
