[Unlimited flow + infrastructure building and farming. After dealing with the evil spirits, she brings them home to work for her~]
Li Yingchen was forced to transmigrate into a world overrun by corpse spirits, and was bound to a card-drawing System.
While fleeing for her life, she drew her first talent: [Corpse Driver]
Li Yingchen: "..."
From then on, whenever Li Yingchen saw an evil spirit or ghost, her eyes lit up.
==
Evil spirits and curses ran rampant, and human lives were worth less than grass.
People banded together and struggled to survive in the apocalypse, barely clinging to life.
One day, the desperate people looked up and saw a young woman sitting on a soulless ghost, chatting and laughing with the Blood-Needle Woman.
She even persuaded the drowned River God to go fishing, and used ghost fire as a lantern!
"Interested?" Li Yingchen smiled as she flicked her abacus. "Come on, renting a ghost costs three qian of silver a day. Safe and reliable, same price for young and old."
The female ghost in the ancient well had grown so deep that ordinary buckets could no longer reach the water? Perfect, the Hanging Ghost's rope could extend without end!
The head of the family died young, and the widowed mother and orphans couldn't manage the farm work? No problem, the Human-Skin Embroidery will come help!
You broke your leg while fleeing, and it's twisted out of shape? What was it... Is the Bottle Woman here?
She can stuff herself into a bottle, so setting your bones straight will be a piece of cake!
Gradually, everyone gathered around Li Yingchen, delirious with joy.
"Sister Li is here! Everyone... everyone in the village can survive now!"
"There's hope! Needle Woman cured my mother's illness!"
"Wonderful! With the ghost fire keeping watch, we can finally fish in the Darkless Sea! Nannan, Daddy has something for you to eat!"
"B-but aren't evil spirits supposed to kill people? How can they be so useful?!"
Li Yingchen lounged comfortably in her little house, enjoying the merit of having a shrine built in her honor while raking in the money.
She also put the evil spirits to work in her workshops, giving them a healthy schedule with nights off and weekends.
From then on, the market introduced products like [Care for the Living Stake Child], [Needle Woman's Exorcism Embroidery], and [Never-Tear, Always-Damp Wigs].
Plenty to go around, enough to save everyone.
People emerged from the dark compounds and wiped away their streaming tears of blood.
The days of barely surviving from one day to the next became a thing of the past.
Farmland, weaving workshops, city walls, pagodas, sword pavilions... one by one, they reappeared across the land.
People chanted Li Yingchen's name, their faces shining with the joy of being alive.
"As long as I'm here, everyone can focus on earning a living, loving the people you love, and walking boldly through this world."
"Do good deeds, and don't worry about the future."
Li Yingchen blinked.
Oh, right.
That promise applies to every species, no exceptions.
In a forgotten corner, the blood-soaked Ghost Asura leaned against her knees, his shoulders and neck bowed.
His jaw gently touched her knee as he placed the collar and chain in her palm. His voice was hoarse:
"...Don't leave me behind."
...Please.
==
When Li Yingchen first arrived, she walked among the corpses.
Standing in the wilderness after the disaster, she listened to the funeral birds rasp out a bloodstained song.
Evil spirits ravage the land; peace is nowhere to be found.
The skies are dark with storm; the long night won't break.
The bright moon hides; the stars conceal themselves.
Immortals are gone; heaven and earth are merciless.
How can we ring the bell and defy heaven's decree?
How can we raise a torch and walk against the wind?
With blood and body, we stand against the chariot, like a mantis.
With soul and spirit, we fly into the flames, like fireflies.

1. My take on Chinese-style strange tales, featuring evil spirits and curses, not traditional supernatural creatures.
2. Cultivation and apocalypse setting, with a small dash of cosmic horror.
3. A serious story. The female lead seems like a carefree, cheerful goofball, but deep down she's a righteous person.
4. The romance comes later: a goofy, sunny ghost-controller x a possessive, cold, sinister evil spirit. The male lead isn't human, and his entrance might be pretty unusual =3=
Thanks to my wonderful friend Guihua for helping with the blurb!
Upcoming novel: The Safe Farm Management Rules for the Famine Game. Simulation and management plus adventure in the early stages, then infrastructure building and an ensemble cast later. Human will can triumph over fate, and more.
Blurb: One day, Si Zhiyan woke up and found himself transmigrated into the Famine Game run by the Lord God.
He also had a strange-tales farming System bound to him.
[Ding! Congratulations! You've obtained [Absolutely Safe Farm] x1!]
[[Absolutely Safe Farm] appears to outsiders as three wooden cabins, each five meters square, along with a basement and a courtyard twenty meters long and thirty meters wide.]
[Enjoy farming and upgrading your farm!]
Seven years ago, the Famine Game descended upon Earth, and the apocalyptic cycle began.
All the food on the planet was cursed.
Players were forced to struggle through endless hunger, fighting and scheming over even a small bite of potato.
That was until Si Zhiyan's farm appeared out of nowhere.
An ancient ruin cursed for a thousand years, where every food you see carries a nightmare curse?
[Nightmare's Remnant Wing Strange Tale] provides delicious, devilishly spicy grilled wings, fragrant, tasty, and with a good night's sleep thrown in.
A silent, eerie city of strange tales, where eating its food contaminates your mind?
[Divine Shrine's Blessing and Exorcism Set] provides an endless supply of salt and rice. Scatter rice and salt to ward off evil, or eat them in a steaming bowl of porridge, savory and filling.
A frozen tundra buried beneath endless ice and snow, where everything on the ground is frozen solid?
[Crematorium Furnace Strange Tale] provides an endless supply of heat and warmth. It can even melt thousand-year-old ice and roast giant water monsters until they're crisp and fragrant.
Starving and freezing players rushed forward like ravenous tigers!
Golden, crispy nightmare wings, rich and delicious water-monster fish soup, spicy, savory cold rabbit...
The lucky players who found the farm ate until their mouths glistened with oil, then knelt in the ruins and wept.
The bizarre is humanity's tastiest friend.jpg
Si Zhiyan provided the world's only uncontaminated food and made a fortune, while his farm grew bigger and bigger.
At first, some people began to wonder.
"He controls the most precious food and serves countless powerful horrors at the table. Just what kind of powerful being is this farm owner?"
Si Zhiyan nonchalantly offered them a bowl of hot porridge, lowered his lashes, and said nothing.
Gradually, everyone's expressions grew feverish.
"Look at his polite, distant manner and those quiet, incisive words... I understand now. The farm owner must have some grand, mysterious plan!"
Si Zhiyan: ...
No, I'm just a little socially anxious, and I speak quietly.
Don't overthink it. Eat.
"Look at that blasphemous yet mysterious farm full of strange objects, and that eternally detached yet compassionate face... I understand now. The farm owner is actually an Evil God sealed away!"
Si Zhiyan: ...
No, everyone's just being so enthusiastic that I don't know what expression to make.
Instead of spending your energy on this, why not find me some customers?
"I understand now. The respected Evil God wants us to spread His gospel! We won't let you down!"
"The farm owner is humanity's savior!"
"We will follow the farm owner for the rest of our lives!"
"We will obey your will, overthrow the Famine Game, and crown you the new Lord God!"
Si Zhiyan: ?????
Wait, I just took a nap. Who put this divine robe on me?
Years later, Si Zhiyan sat high upon the Lord God's throne, his pale, slender wrist resting on the hilt of his sword as he sighed.
Alas, my dear ministers, you've certainly made things difficult for me.

I came from the farm. I thought my wife's writing was very good, so I secretly climbed into the column to look for food. In the end, I really ate delicacies from the mountains and the sea. It was delicious. It was delicious 😳
I found that the author is very compassionate to the working people and does not deprive them of their conscience and morality. It is not like some books and dramas nowadays. It is really good.
There is nothing wrong with your research, it's just that you are talking about two things hhhhh
We fell into a bottomless pit, but took the opportunity to look up at the stars... "This world isn't perfect, but it's just the way I want it to be." It is the never-ending curiosity that has led mankind to this point. Tell me, why?
Oh, there is another very strange thing, that is, Diao Shuying is missing. This chapter is completely missing. No matter whether it is the description or the dormitory arrangement, there is no trace of Xiao Diao. It is very strange. Has he been assimilated, or has he been excluded? Xiao Li didn't notice anything was wrong at all, nor did he ask Diao Shuying about it, so he felt affected. Could it be that Xiao Li thought he came here alone? This is a classic operation!
It's open to women and children in need. It's so lively and lively.
[Spreading Flowers] Finished Spreading Flowers, I thought it was a very scary story at the beginning, but I didn't expect that there is the warmest core under the slightly scary skin! Come on, madam 🤩
I feel that Lu Xi is not in the right state, otherwise he would be able to recognize Diao Shuying to some extent, unless Comrade Xiao Diao changes his mind and starts acting evil again. The person standing in front of you now is Comrade Xiao Ming... Anyway! If it weren't for this reason, he shouldn't have been unable to recognize Diao Shuying and would have been chatting there as if nothing had happened. To be honest, this place that suddenly appeared seems a bit strange. Just take a guess and maybe this place is a dream, a dream that has lasted for decades. In the dream, everything is in its best form... Finally, this little boy is so cute! It's easy to bully at first glance, if you dare to w next time
Looking at Diao Shuying's reaction, hey, was his hometown being demolished? Some kind of stronghold in Zhaixinglou? Xiaodiao, wake up, your house is on fire!
Finished with scattering flowers [good luck lotus] 🎆. From another book, my wife wrote a really good group portrait [Calico Cat Head], but the structure of the world is a bit shallow, but the flaws are not hidden, it is very beautiful! Xiao Li and Tan Xing will continue to travel around the world to protect this prosperous age, and the story will continue in invisible places. That is, does the wife have a small hole that has not been filled? The story of Yawu is not very developed [covering face and laughing]
