Extreme Cold Disaster: Hot Spring Town Management Simulator

[Next up: The Billionaire Investor Who Makes Ten Million a Day [Showbiz], a feel-good power fantasy. Blurb below]

Shu Mo was transported to a frozen apocalypse and bound to a business simulation System.

At the start, the System asked her to choose a type of shop to run.

Shu Mo, who was freezing her tail off: ...Do I really have to choose?

Shivering, she typed in “Hot Spring Town.”

The entire world was dragged into a bizarre survival game.

Temperatures plummeted, monsters invaded from all sides, and resources ran scarce. Every warm thing vanished from the world, plunging it into a never-ending winter.

Ten years after the game began, despairing players made an unexpected discovery...

At the foot of a snowy mountain, a steaming hot spring inn had appeared.

A warm, orange-yellow light glowed through the endless snow and fog. Steam swirled in the air, the scent of sulfur filled their noses, and as they drew near, calm, peaceful background music played in their ears.

The players quickly grasped what they were seeing, and promptly went wild.

Shu Mo’s hot spring inn soon became a sensation, and its business gradually expanded.

From a variety of hot springs, foot baths, and saunas,

to steaming oden, hot pot, and ramen,

and then to specialty shops, a water park...

Reluctantly leaving Shu Mo’s inn, players were shocked to discover that they’d gained all kinds of buff effects!

[Roasted Sweet Potato] Restores stamina 4 points faster per hour after eating (effect lasts 24 hours)

[Sulfur Foot Bath] Agility +3, movement speed +3 (effect lasts 24 hours)

[Local Specialty: Red Bean Bun] Instantly restores 20 stamina (carry limit: 6)

Players who had already stepped outside promptly turned around and went back in.

How is this a resort? It’s a giant health pack!

One day, Shu Mo, who’d accidentally turned a survival game into an idle mobile game, suddenly came to her senses and realized that the game had been beaten.

The players had proved themselves valiant, bristling with buffs and carrying backpacks full of specialty items that restored health and mana, as they swept the monsters’ lair clean.

Looking at the “Savior” title that had appeared above her head, Shu Mo: ???

The Billionaire Investor Who Makes Ten Million a Day [Showbiz]

Hard-working wage slave Xia Qin bound herself to a reverse investment System. As long as she invested wisely, she could cash out every yuan she lost, one for one.

Just then, a big-budget movie with an investment of six hundred million bombed spectacularly. Xia Qin was green with envy, so she dove headfirst into showbiz.

Waving around a mountain of cash, she began putting on a show

She signed a member who’d been kicked out of a popular group for dragging it down;

took over a production team whose funding had run dry, then rewrote the script herself;

signed a pretty face from a C-list who acted like a robot, then brought in a renowned director to tailor a role just for her;

and took charge of a variety show, gathering a bunch of washed-up celebrities to gossip and chat for four hours with no edits whatsoever...

Before long, everyone in the industry had heard the rumors: A rich woman with more money than sense had arrived, and she loved meddling!

Rival teams waited for the show to flop, while rival fans raised their glasses to celebrate their idols escaping Xia Qin’s clutches.

But when the projects aired,

the forty-episode romance that should have been full of tender longing opened with the heroine stabbing her enemy, the hero, to death. Then she roamed the martial world alone with a sword, free and unrestrained!

The C-list pretty face played the mastermind. With blood on the cheek of her shy, boyish face, she smiled innocently at the camera, and her “unhinged robot” vibe terrified viewers.

Nobody knew how to dish the dirt better than a washed-up top-tier star. The variety show’s ratings soared throughout its four-hour run, and the director’s team was inundated with calls. Viewers leaned in, eyes shining: “Keep talking! Don’t stop! We want more!!”

Meanwhile, the ironback everyone hated had quietly risen to the top, her natural star power impossible to conceal.

[Anything produced by President Xia is guaranteed to be top quality!!]

Xia Qin was bewildered. She’d only wanted to lose money, so why had every project she invested in become a smash hit?!

Years later, when reporters interviewed the artists at Peeklight Entertainment, who had become hugely successful across a range of industries, they all said they had President Xia to thank for discovering so many great scripts and talents that would otherwise have been buried:

“She had an eye for talent. Thanks to her, we caught a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel during the darkest, most desperate days of our lives.”
