Is There a More Low-Key Job? [Interstellar]

[Main Story Complete] Synopsis:

Chen Weimo would rather die than become a Federation refugee!

But how can she quietly earn enough to support herself without revealing how strong she is...

The good news: There’s plenty of work, and it pays well. Work hard and you’ll get rich!

The military academy league has always been a major event for the Federation. But an accident during a points match left a large number of passing aircraft affected by a magnetic storm. Students and teachers alike put the competition on hold. Rescue came first.

Chen Weimo was one of the unlucky ones caught in it.

She was calmly thinking things over underwater: Should she swim off and save herself, or wait here? If someone appeared in the ocean without a single piece of equipment, would that scare people...

But when the rescue team found her, she had ripped open a student's mech with her bare hands and was performing CPR on them.

Fortunately, someone came to her aid, and Chen Weimo went back to her quiet little life.

Until one day, a media outlet secretly recovered some damaged footage, repaired it, and posted a few clips from the competition on the Star Network...

-- Impervious to blades and bullets, splitting a mech with her bare hands? Have living beings really evolved this far?

-- I don't understand, and I'm utterly shocked! I thought refugees were useless freeloaders who came to leech off our resources. What's her deal?

-- Wait, she doesn't seem to be a refugee! She seems to be an undocumented person!

Everyone: Face it, there's no way you can keep a low profile.

Chen Weimo was pushed, step by step, into the public eye. Everyone had an agenda, and everyone greeted her with a smile.

But when did Chen Weimo ever say she'd come to the Federation by accident?

[Reader's Guide]

The heroine is strong, but a bit of a goof.

A very slice-of-life story, told from the perspective of the gossip-loving masses.

Also, the whole world is one giant amateur operation.

Synopsis:

Shen Yu has no grand ambitions. She likes making warming soups and earning a little money.

She likes cracking melon seeds and listening to gossip even more.

So she opened an inn in Sanhe Town, and named it Everjoy.

Sanhe Town was bustling with people from every walk of life. It was practically a gossip-lover's paradise, and she took one look and decided to put down roots.

She also took in a few helpers. None of them could do the books or drum up business, but they could fight and kill.

The helpers looked at the sign hanging inside the inn:

If you want to fight, take it outside. Don't smash my pots and pans.

Everyone: ...

Well then, they'd better work hard, or she'd dock their pay.

But Sanhe Town was never destined to be a peaceful place.

A few words out of place, and people would draw their swords in an instant, without even bothering to move the tables out of the way.

That day, tension was running high in the inn, and a fight was about to break out.

Then came a loud thud. A spear flew through the air and buried its tip in the wall, sending dust billowing everywhere.

Only then did everyone realize that the little proprietress, who was always smiling, might be a better fighter than any of them.

Theme: Everyone is born equal
