Interstellar Appraiser

After waking up, Ji Yunting finds himself an orphan on a mining planet.

His parents are dead, and his grandfather has just passed away. The mining planet is desolate, its industries all but abandoned.

Ji Yunting can't even make sense of the local language, and nearly fails to survive.

With no useful survival skills, all he can do is mine for a living.

Then one day, a group of men in military uniforms arrives on the planet, offering him a high salary to mine at the border.

Ji Yunting: ???

Dangerous, but it pays well...

Ji Yunting: If protecting my home means risking my life, so be it! I'm in!

The interstellar frontier is constantly engulfed in war, with star beasts running rampant. Besides the soldiers fighting them and clearing them out, the front lines have another special profession: miners who clean up star-beast corpses and nests.

And Ji Yunting joins up as a miner.

His first day on the job.

While everyone else is still getting used to their mining mechs, he accidentally uses his mech to stab into an ant-beast nest, then spears one of the stragglers. With an expectant look on his face, he asks, "Can we roast this bug?"

Mu Jingyu, who has rushed over to rescue him: "..."

Everyone else: "..."

Is this normal?

Mu Jingyu, a general in the Western Border Army, is a legendary figure. He went from being unknown to becoming an Alliance general in only three years.

They say he's a brave and accomplished warrior who enters a stampede of beasts as if it were empty ground.

They say he's composed and authoritative, and gives barely any unnecessary orders in battle.

They say he's decisive and has never been outmatched in clashes with the chaotic political powers of the Alliance...

A man like that truly deserves to be called the Interstellar Falcon.

Ji Yunting believes it all.

Less than two days after joining the army, though, he witnesses the big shot's true nature and becomes a disappointed fan.

Mu Jingyu: =.=

Mu Jingyu: I can still turn this around!!

Inept at Work, So I'll Marry an Alien

Shu Yunzhang wakes up after a nap to find that two thousand years have passed and the world has completely changed.

Before he's even gotten used to his new body, he has to adapt to his new job: a clerk at the Office for Alien Affairs.

Yes, aliens.

In a daze, Shu Yunzhang takes his post and puts on an interstellar translator. He hesitates, then presses the red button in front of him, welcoming the first alien client of his life.

A huge black creature resembling an octopus, its head bigger than the door, with nine amber eyes ringed with vertical slits and two rows of razor-sharp crimson teeth.

Then a black tentacle drifts in and coils around him from head to toe.

Shu Yunzhang: ?!

Is this some kind of alien greeting?

The alien: "%￥%@#&￥T@#%."

The translator in his earpiece automatically translates: You appeal to me, and you smell good too. I want to marry you.

Shu Yunzhang: ?

The handbook doesn't say how to handle this, but...

Shu Yunzhang smiles and turns it down. "I'm flattered, but no, I... Hey!"

The black "octopus" simply wraps around him and starts moving toward the exit. "@#￥#@%%."

Translator: I'm glad we've reached an agreement.

Shu Yunzhang: ...We haven't agreed to anything!!!

Help!!!
