[Upcoming novel in my collection: "I Built a Resort in a Survival Game." Please add it to your collection~]
Gu Xi transmigrates into a romance novel where everyone has superpowers.
She becomes a minor character whose name doesn't even appear in the book, and the System assigns her a task: interfere with the plot and stop the villainess from turning evil.
The villainess, Ling Shuang, is an S-rank ice ability user, a genuine heiress and the most dazzling person at the academy. Always presenting herself as cool and aloof, she falls for the sunny, passionate, and pure-hearted protagonist.
According to the prediction, Ling Shuang's love for the protagonist will go unrequited, and she'll interfere in the relationship between the protagonist and the person she loves. Combined with a string of misunderstandings, Ling Shuang will eventually turn evil. After losing control of her powers, she'll destroy the protagonist's group and cause the world's timeline to collapse.
Gu Xi, the random extra chosen by fate, must correct this part of the plot at its source. Ideally, she should make sure Ling Shuang never falls for the protagonist in the first place.
However, at an academy full of S-rank ability users, Gu Xi is merely an inconspicuous C-rank ability user.
Other people can summon the wind with a wave of their hand and command water with the next, or scale walls with superhuman sight and hearing. Her ability, though, is...
Cleaning.
The System is quite worried. Faced with the protagonist, who has A-rank super strength, and Ling Shuang, an S-rank ability user, Gu Xi's ability seems insignificant. She'll have a hard time controlling the situation.
But as it turns out, there's no need to worry.
At the crucial moment when the protagonist punches through the ice wall Ling Shuang has sealed herself behind, the System offers these choices:
A. Hurry and lead the heroine away to stop her from having a heart-to-heart with Ling Shuang.
B. Pretend to faint on the spot to distract them both.
Gu Xi: "Those are both so basic... I choose C."
System: "There is no C."
Gu Xi walks over, spots a drop of water where a piece of ice has melted on Ling Shuang's face, and uses her cleaning ability to remove it and keep Ling Shuang's face spotless. Then she sweeps Ling Shuang into a princess carry, leaving the protagonist behind, scratching her head.
On a five-point scale, the System rates it: "Six."
The students in Class A, Grade 12, notice that, sometime recently, their low-profile class cleaning monitor, whose ability is "cleaning," has become increasingly hard to ignore.
"She looks so cool when she snaps her fingers and cleans all the dust out of the classroom!"
"She even managed to charm that haughty heiress..."
Gu Xi: "Who did I charm? When did that happen?"
Blurb for the upcoming novel "I Built a Resort in a Survival Game":
A full-dive online game suddenly becomes impossible to log out of.
Yu Chuxia is stuck with a newly created alt, playing an archer class she's terrible at. "..."
Her gear is bad, and she can't aim when fighting monsters. It's no wonder other players don't want her on their team.
Fortunately, as a player who's been around since launch, she knows the game's many mechanics inside out. Her main character is one of the top-ranked swordsmen on the server, so she can handle herself just fine.
Can't aim an arrow? Just use enough force and something is bound to hit!
With a monster about to pounce on her, Yu Chuxia swings her bow in one hand to knock it back, while using an arrow in her other hand to pierce its weak spot.
She has no time to deal with the monster suddenly attacking from behind, but luckily, a lone healer she met on the road swings her staff with all her might and knocks it out, dealing plenty of physical damage in the process.
Everyone: "You can play the game like that?"
Bad news: The shabby gear of this unconventional, all-physical, melee duo is only good enough to deal with weak monsters. They're no match for most players when it comes to fighting over resources, so scraping by is the best they can hope for.
Good news: Yu Chuxia's alt is linked to an unfinished management system from the test server that hasn't officially launched yet.
She opens her inventory, taps a button, and a "Resort" appears on the spot.
It starts with nothing but a snack stand, but the prospect of gradually unlocking more areas is still exciting.
Players sick of the awful food exchanged through the System follow the scent of real-world food they happen to catch and arrive at a place with a sign that reads "Resort."
Drawn in by the snack stand at the entrance, they discover a whole new world inside.
Seaside beaches, pastoral mountain landscapes, hot spring retreats... It's all here.
Milk tea shops, cafes, hot pot, barbecue, and regional cuisines from all over... Every kind of food is available.
After fighting and killing in the game world for so long, who could resist seeing the wonderful things they used to enjoy?
The seasonal limited-edition dishes are a little expensive? No problem, we've got plenty of gold!
Access to that newly opened leisure activity costs items dropped in dungeons? Sure thing, we'll go farm the boss right away!
Looking at the resort in all its glory, the owner takes off all her top-tier gear with a single click and happily stretches out on a luxurious rocking chair, leaving room for one more.
The person beside her, whether the resort's business partner or the owner's girlfriend, complains a little, then comes over to the other side of the chair, pretending to resist.
What a delightful life...
Theme: Ordinary people can be extraordinary
There is a vague feeling in my heart that the protagonist of the story has set a flag but will never realize it. Is it an illusion? It's an illusion...
I always feel that it is a little bit anticlimactic. After so many years of reading novels, the current story development progress of this book is only 50 to 70% in terms of short stories. There is a lot of room for the follow-up development of the plot that can be supported by the world view. In particular, S-class annihilation does not have any appearance and is used as a backdrop. Not only is there a lack of follow-up, but it also makes every previous mention of this aspect of the plot seem a bit humorous and like a sigh of relief. The plot between Li Qiu and Li Qiu is also a necessary part of the plot development, and it even makes people care less than the original mother who finished the story in just a few words. The original owner's family, Li Qiu, the follow-up of ability development, the follow-up of derivative changes related to the ability bureau, college life [especially important], apart from other things, it is not easy to find even the famous scenes in the book, which is a pity in every sense.
Qin is an expert in eavesdropping and a bystander. I don't know if it's an accidental coincidence or a deliberate design, but this past and ability fit perfectly.
Help, that's it. Let's write more about the daily lives of two people. As for the Ability Management Bureau, it is indeed impossible to rely on the female protagonist alone to solve the problem, but it still feels a bit rushed. Will you still write about the relationship with the original owner's parents, the daily life with Ling Shuang in college, the slightly thrilling work in society, and the abstract meat?
Okay, it's a knee pillow, it's great 🤩
Finished spreading flowers! This kind of pure and sweet text made me finish reading it even when I couldn't read the novel. The emotional line was very well written, and the writing style was beyond my expectations. The main plot was quite interesting, but it was a pity that I didn't expand on the BOSS of the Management Bureau in the end. However, the main focus was on the emotional line, so it's worth a read!
Is 168 intentional?
Teacher Qin, you want to be happy!
I always felt that the ending was too rushed. I hope the next one will be better.
You guessed it, the final stage of erasure can completely evolve to physically erase people. After all, that is just an enlarged and enhanced version of wipe out.
