I Run a Little Spirit Stone Shop

This story will end and enter reverse V status on October 14. The reverse V chapters will start with Chapter 20. Thank you for your support.

Shen Lu arrived in a cultivation world and bound himself to a [Spirit Stone Convenience Store] System.

He could get a steady supply of the spirit stones essential to cultivation from the System.

But why were his spirit stones so different?

"Other people's spirit stones look like stones. Will mine really attract customers?"

Shen Lu pulled out a pile of soda, potato chips, and little cookies.

"Don't worry, Host. These snacks have all been infused with the power of spirit stones! They're delicious and help you cultivate, so you get double the fun!"

"As long as you keep running the store, upgrade the System, expand your renown, and complete missions, you'll be able to go home."

Shen Lu felt like he'd fallen into the System's trap.

*

To return to his own world, Shen Lu opened an unusual spirit stone convenience store in another world.

One troublesome situation after another cropped up:

A customer who couldn't afford spirit stones had a master who was about to die.

An information broker who had gotten into serious trouble wanted to hide in his shop.

A cat demon raised by a rival wanted him dead...

And then there was the landlord, who came by every day to mooch food and drinks.

"Aren't you already the strongest person in the cultivation world? These trash spirit stones have no effect on you."

The landlord took a sip of orange soda. His dragon horns appeared and disappeared above his head as he calmly replied, "I have a craving."

1. Set in modern society, where cultivation is mainstream.

2. At heart, this is a short, satisfying story that you can read without having to think too hard.

3. There will be cultivation and romance. The couple is Shen Lu x the landlord.

4. Unless something unexpected happens, updates will be at 6:00 p.m. Any other updates will be revisions.

[Let me recommend the two stories I'm currently updating]

"My Whole Family Are World-Saving Big Shots, and I'm the Future Boss"

Luo Tianxing had been an orphan five times.

On the sixth time, he got a family.

It was a warm, happy family.

His mother personally took him to and from school and bought him new clothes for the season.

His father took him on spring outings and taught him to read.

His big brother saved the best food for him and played with him.

Everything seemed perfectly normal, until strange changes swept across the world.

His mother shot an octopus head clean off.

His father formed a fireball and wiped out a patch of mutated weeds.

His big brother cut down one minion after another with his sword.

And his deskmate took out a Class D contaminant with a single gesture.

Luo Tianxing: ???

*

Later, he realized two things:

1. His family members were all transmigrators. His mother was the strongest bounty hunter in the interstellar world, his father was a grand archmage from the magical world, and his big brother was the number one swordsman in the cultivation world.

As for his deskmate, in the future he would become the captain of the Third Squad in the Special Operations Department and the ultimate nemesis of contaminants.

2. Their wish was to eradicate contamination and return to a peaceful, ordinary life.

Now, he had to figure out one thing:

How could he tell this group of big shots that he was the future boss and had already destroyed the world five times?

"Since We're Reborn, We Might as Well Date Ourselves"

[Warning: A self-couple story with both partners taking turns on top!]

Song Yunjian had dominated the business world for years. He never expected to be sabotaged and die in a car accident.

When he woke up again, he had returned eighteen years into the past, inhabiting Yang Zixiao, the former deskmate of a younger Song Yunjian.

The younger Song Yunjian was only sixteen, all alone. No one was willing to love him, and even fewer were willing to give him a hug.

Song Yunjian hadn't planned to interfere with his younger self's future. After all, that kid grew up to be incredible.

But when he thought about his own severe anxiety and weariness of life, those sleepless nights, and his inability to truly love anyone...

He wondered if maybe he'd taken the wrong path.

Looking at the younger Song Yunjian, he suddenly felt that this kid should grow into a healthy adult, unlike him.

He should eat well, sleep well, and love well.

He couldn't help reaching out, giving the younger Song Yunjian the warmest hug he could feel through all those gloomy, rainy days.

*

He never expected that a few years later, his younger self would pin him against the wall and kiss him wildly, those once-gloomy eyes now clear and bright.

The younger Song Yunjian bared his fangs. "Bro, you really won't date me?"

Theme: Companionship is the longest love letter.
