Next up: Island Resort Management Simulator, inspired by Meizhou Island in Fujian.
Blurb for this novel
Chen Xingzhuo transmigrated to the interstellar era and grew up safely. She was ready to keep living as an ordinary office worker, but when her parents vanished overnight, she had no choice but to take over the century-old card-making shop passed down through her family.
After she finished the paperwork to transfer ownership and was getting ready to tidy up and reopen the shop, she heard a weak voice.
"Ding! The Phone Accessories System is at your service! Here's your preliminary task: own a phone accessories shop!"
Chen Xingzhuo: ? Say that again. What kind of System are you?
System: All right, you don't want to bind with me? Hm? Why didn't you answer the same way this time?
Chen Xingzhuo: System, this is the interstellar era. Phones were obsolete ages ago.
The System answered with loud sobs.
Chen Xingzhuo: Stop crying. If we can't make phone accessories, we can make something else.
System: But I can only produce phone cases, screen protectors, charms...
Chen Xingzhuo: It's fine. The world has changed, so our way of thinking can change too. Let's try swapping phones for cards and see how it goes.

A hardcore lover of fluffy animals who is allergic to fur, she was lucky that the country's card industry had developed so well. There were countless cards to meet people's needs, and plenty of options for emotional comfort, too. For years, she had relied on pet cards to satisfy her longing for beloved animals. The only downside was that they didn't feel very real.
Until one day, she got a card sleeve
"Mom! I really touched something fluffy!"
*
When a card collector saw her priceless, out-of-print card being slipped into a transparent sleeve, she nearly fainted. "What are you doing to my precious card?!"
Her friend threw a [Deep Sleep] card at her.
Three days later, the disheveled collector stumbled into the collection room, eyes wide
The card, which should have dissipated, still had all its energy, locked at 1%!

At a military card simulation tournament, a match reached a critical moment, with just one opening needed.
Suddenly, someone on the blue team pulled out a glowing card and flashed it right in the red team's faces!
The red team only saw darkness, then received a notification that they'd lost the battle.
After leaving the arena, someone from the red team stopped the blue team and asked, "What new card did you use?"
Blue team: "Bet you didn't expect that! I just put an anti-peeping screen protector on it!"
Late at night, an alarm blared from a corner of a card military base. On the surveillance screens, more than a dozen shadowy figures were frantically putting screen protectors on cards
"We'll win the next match!"
Before long, people discovered that screen-protected cards had fewer side effects, while cards in sleeves had better defenses...
Chen Xingzhuo scoffed at this: "Fake."
The card soldiers, outwardly: "Fake."
The card soldiers, inwardly: "We can't let this get out any further. This time, I'm definitely going to get one!"
Later, Chen Xingzhuo sat in the position of military card consultant, utterly confused:
Wasn't I supposed to be putting screen protectors on cards? How did this turn into a field test?
Reader's Guide:
1. The focus is on running the business: steadily upgrading the shop, with an ensemble cast and a slice-of-life feel, following the shop's everyday life and its customers' stories.
2. There is a male lead, but little romance.
3. The interstellar setting, card-making system, and everything else in the story are made up. Please don't nitpick the details.
4. The worldbuilding is fairly complex and will be scattered throughout the story. If you're not interested in the setting, you can skip it and just read the daily-life parts. It shouldn't make much difference (?).
5. Different strokes for different folks. Reasonable discussion is welcome, and normal comments won't be deleted.
There are countless stories on Jinjiang, so there's bound to be one that's right for you! If this one isn't your cup of tea, you can try another one. Maybe we'll cross paths another time~

Did it end like this? It was a bit like a prequel? 😂
There is nothing in all these fine articles?
What an unexpected ending. It actually stops at the beginning of the war.
Finished scattering flowers🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
Ah, it's over, but congratulations on the completion [Spread flowers] Thank you for your company these few months.
Finished spreading flowers! Happy Children's Day! [Orange candy][Orange candy][Orange candy]🎆🎆🎆
It's a pity that the friends only have a few scenes in the main text, since they are all designed so richly and completely!
Sister Feng is amazing!!
It's impossible to stop using guanxi. The most annoying thing is the kind of people who have no strength but insist on doing random things [angry], especially in a profession that will affect the lives of other people (`DR´)
It kind of feels like the article was written for the setting [Laughter and Crying] It's a very ideal society.
