I Opened an Inn on Earth During the Spiritual Qi Revival

Story blurb:

Ever since she was little, Hang Qinghuan could see spirits and demons, but most people around her thought she was a little liar.

Then, after the people around her began dying one by one in strange accidents, they decided she was cursed and pushed her into a pond, nearly drowning her.

After she was rescued, some of her memories became hazy. The only thing she remembered clearly was a warm voice telling her:

If you want to know the truth behind these strange events, and free your parents from their miserable deaths, you have to keep living. One day, the answers will come.

From then on, Hang Qinghuan became determined to stay alive.

Who knew that a disaster would strike a city with no history of earthquakes, making her one of its first victims?

When she opened her eyes again, she was bound to someone calling itself "Support System 049," which told her she had to complete her missions if she wanted to come back to life.

And so, a mysterious inn appeared in China.

The guests staying there had horns growing from their heads or shells on their backs. Some had split personalities and could stand in one spot arguing all night about whether to step forward with their left foot or their right.

The guests who came to eat were always trying to swallow the owner whole, often sparking a chase scene.

Most of the inn's employees weren't human, and they were always trying to cuddle up to their boss.

Hang Qinghuan: I'm just a ruthless spirit-stone-making machine.

After Earth had been battered by every kind of natural disaster, the world suddenly realized that China, where the disasters had begun, had not only avoided sinking into despair, but had also produced a host of legendary figures.

And the source of it all led back to that mysterious inn.

Gu Zhu woke up from a long sleep to find the world utterly changed. He was now a relic from another age, completely out of place.

The person he had chosen all those years ago had gone through countless cycles of reincarnation. Apart from that mouth of hers, she was no longer anything like she had been.

Gu Zhu: ??? I was the one who gave you the chance to come back to life, and now you're demanding rent from me?

Hang Qinghuan: This inn does not offer free lodging or free meals. Please renew your stay on time. Otherwise, we cannot accommodate you. Thank you. "smiles"

Opening a Claw Machine Shop in a Survival Game

Su Lingdang became famous after emptying the claw machines at ten arcades in a row. Then she was ambushed and forced into a survival game.

In the tutorial round where players received their skills, everyone else awakened attack or defense abilities. A claw machine appeared in front of her.

Everyone: This newbie is dead for sure.

Su Lingdang: What's a claw machine without prizes?

She casually scavenged all kinds of things and stuffed them inside.

A handmade doll whose hair grows longer? Yes, please!

A wooden ornament that attracts resentment? Yes, please!

A music box that makes people want to kill themselves? Yes, please!

If one claw machine wasn't enough, she'd upgrade her skill and get another.

If one person couldn't clear them all, she'd just open a claw-machine arcade.

The veterans from the Boss group left behind a hard-earned warning:

If you see Su Lingdang, run!

From then on, the name Su Lingdang struck fear into the hearts of everyone in the Boss group.

Silver Mirror, who had been guarding the final stage without ever seeing a challenger, decided to slack off and go meet Su Lingdang.

The first players to survive the game and clear it by the skin of their teeth told the newcomers:

The final stage is a free pass. There's no Boss guarding it, so charge in without fear.

Silver Mirror: Thanks for asking. I'm here, catching dolls with my wife. Don't bother me.

Theme: The descendants of Yan and Huang will never surrender
