A mysterious energy leak unleashed ghosts and monsters, creating small magnetic fields in various places that turned into patches of haunted territory.
The chances of humans who strayed into them surviving were extremely low. The world was plunged into terror, and public safety fell to rock bottom.
To deal with the crisis, the authorities recruited several capable and morally upright people from the public and established a special team.
Xiang Gaoyuan was one of them.
An emergency broke out on the Haishi subway. Hundreds of passengers were trapped aboard a moving train, forced to play an "on and off the train" game with a subway ghost.
At the height of the crisis, a burly passenger boarded at a transfer station, his phone playing a children's song that was completely at odds with the mood.
Someone kindly tried to tell him to run.
Instead, they saw him sternly put his phone away, turn to face the subway ghost, whose body had been split in two, clench his fists in front of his chest, bend his legs halfway, and strike a pose like he was constipated.
"Please do as I do!"
His gruff voice was completely at odds with the cute children's song. The next second, the two halves of the subway ghost's body stuck together against its will and struck the same pose. "I'll do as you do."
The crowd's looks of suspicion instantly turned to admiration, and they surrounded him.
In an instant, Xiang Gaoyuan was reliving the horror of being watched by a group of men after overdoing it at the gym.
At a hostage-taking scene, Xiang Gaoyuan slowly pulled on a pair of black stockings. Forced to show some skin, he successfully restrained the kidnapper's hands and rescued the hostage.
When he encountered a female ghost trying to force a living person into a ghost marriage, Xiang Gaoyuan tearfully licked a stray dog passing by. His Dog-Licking ability activated, and the female ghost instantly became a devoted dog lover, giving up on the living husband she'd been wailing and begging for.
Xiang Gaoyuan, an older homebody, was in his first year of drawing a government salary. After suffering public embarrassment countless times because of his supernatural abilities, he finally reconsidered his hobbies for the first time.
If he'd known his abilities would awaken, he never would have become a hardcore anime fan!

--- Blurb for April release, My God-Tier Tycoon System Lets Me Be a Mom Without the Pain ---
Hu Zhenzhen transmigrated into a book and became the evil stepmother in a story about a male lead's rise to success.
In the original story, the day after she married the male lead's father, she became a widow. Traumatized, she took out all her emotions on her stepson and tormented the male lead with her sharp tongue and cruelty.
Her eventual fate was to be shoved by an excited fan on the day the male lead became famous, causing her to die in a car accident.
When Hu Zhenzhen transmigrated into the story, her unlucky, short-lived husband was already dead. It was just her and the ten-year-old male lead staring at each other.
Her palm tingled. Seeing the red mark on the boy's face, she couldn't help clicking her tongue.
Well, she'd been handed a hellish start right out of the gate.
[System: Protagonist detected. System activated. Host, please gain the favor of the protagonist's group and change their original fate.]
A golden finger! Hu Zhenzhen's eyes lit up.
Thinking of all those Mary Sue novels she'd read where favorability went up at the drop of a hat, she confidently opened the System's task list. The next second, she realized she'd been confident too soon.
[Task 1: Get the male lead to call you Mom.]
[Reward: 1,000,000 yuan]
Hu Zhenzhen: "...May I ask what kind of System you are?"
At the mention of it, the System's mechanical voice sounded even prouder.
[System: My full name is the Super Tycoon Spend-Money-Willy-Nilly System.]
Hu Zhenzhen couldn't help giving a thumbs-up. Her eyes shining, she dashed over to the male lead and then... held up his father's memorial portrait.
"If you don't call me Mom, you'll never see your father again!"
Male Lead: ??? Are you okay? Who wants to see that dead old man?
Hu Zhenzhen failed to threaten him and accidentally smashed the portrait.
[System: Male lead's favorability +1. Your lifespan has increased by one year.]
Hu Zhenzhen looked at the boy differently.
Do a task and get both extra years of life and money? What male lead? He's clearly a living bodhisattva!
Wiping away her moved tears, she said, "I had no idea you hated your dad so much. I'll dig him up right now so you can take out your anger on him!"
Seeing her about to dig up the grave, the boy panicked. "Don't dig him up! I'll call you Mom, okay?"
[System: One million yuan has been deposited into your Alipay account.]
Hu Zhenzhen: !!!
Jiang Chen's womanizing father died, leaving him alone with his newly arrived stepmother.
He'd heard all about stepmothers abusing their stepchildren. On the seventh day after his father's death, he decided to run away from home and live on the streets.
He'd been riding for only half an hour when his bicycle was surrounded by a convoy of ten Ferraris. He stopped nervously and stammered, "What do you want? I don't have any money!"
A car window rolled down, revealing his stepmother's face. "Xiao Chen, it's dangerous to be out riding this late. How about having Master Liu and the others ride along with you?"
That night, passersby saw a spectacular sight on Binhai Road: ten Ferraris driving at twenty kilometers per hour behind a bicycle.
When that didn't work, Jiang Chen came up with a new plan. He would deliberately act rebellious and make Hu Zhenzhen throw him out.
But no matter how much trouble he caused, none of it seemed to faze his stepmother.
With her calling him "baby" one minute and "handsome boy" the next, Jiang Chen actually felt a warmth he'd never gotten from his own father.
Later, when classmates brought up the subject of stepmothers, they asked him as if they were hoping for gossip, "Jiang Chen, has your stepmother been tormenting you lately?"
Holding the little teddy-bear charm his stepmother had given him, Jiang Chen defended Hu Zhenzhen for the first time. "She's a good person. She's nothing like what you said!"
That night, Jiang Chen came home and burrowed into Hu Zhenzhen's arms, refusing to come out. After she questioned him for a while, he finally mumbled, "Mom, find me a dad."
Hu Zhenzhen was startled.
Could he have found out that she was secretly dating a hugely popular heartthrob?
*The mother-son bond is the main storyline. The heroine isn't a perfect mother and has some flaws.
*The heroine has money powers and raises her child in luxury.
Theme: Be your own hero
It makes sense that the hands, feet and brain can't work well, and the brain can't use the hands and feet, right?
I'm not kidding, I'll watch the second part immediately
Xiaoyuan is so charming
Continue to betray your beauty
Gossip is one of human nature and bad qualities
Because the frog croaks and Xiaoyuan is lonely, is that why he is a frog?
It's so fast. I wonder if there will be a second part? I feel like I can't get enough of it. I've been following it since the beginning. Every advance preview is wonderful. It looks like I'm going to move on to the next one. Hahahahahaha. I like this kind of romance-free novel.
So someone became bald again.
It is said that this god's lottery box may also contain potions. . . But I definitely can't get it
Not only is he brainless, he may also be a bit perverted.
Usually people don't do a lot of weird things, right?
