Rehired After Retirement: Turning the Paranormal World Upside Down

[Gentle, calculating powerhouse heroine & cool, flirtatious, tea-loving male lead] One day, a supernatural question app swept across the globe with overwhelming, deranged force. Every month, people have to complete three life-threatening tasks and escape from perilous domains. At the end of the month, they must also stay on guard against questions from unfamiliar visitors. Questions can take many forms, but the penalty for a wrong answer never changes: death. A warning stained with blood and lives hangs over everyone's hearts: Protect your privacy at all costs! * Ying Yan is an ordinary college student whose current goal is to develop a game app before she graduates. Aside from occasionally sleepwalking as a child, she's no different from anyone else. At least, that's what she thinks. She expects life to continue as usual, but the supernatural question app appears out of nowhere, shattering the peace and order of the world... Ying Yan: ? Wait, she finally retired from rule-based horror stories, so why is she being brought back to work?!!! * A strange story circulates at the Interdimensional Exchange Center: If Ying Yan is awake, stay far away. Don't let her find you. If Ying Yan is sleepwalking, lie still where you are. Follow the basic rules for the dead, and don't let her discover you can move. [Reader's guide] 1. The heroine's abilities awaken gradually. She won't be overpowered from the start; early on, she mainly relies on calm reasoning and deduction. 2. Plot-focused, with a male lead, though the romance is a minor element. Here's another upcoming story that accidentally turned into an ongoing serial: Saving the World by Gossiping in a Survival Game. Give it a star if you like it. [Optimistic, tough-as-nails gossip lover & calm, rational, exam-question-predicting top student] [Ding-dong! Welcome to The Ark of Fate. Selected players, please clear the challenges and fight for the survival of civilization and its honor!] Meng Xiang loves gossip and a good laugh. From childhood onward, she's climbed trees, crawled under beds, and been chased down eight streets by dogs, all for the sake of getting the latest gossip... Even during dull, grueling training, she diligently surfed the internet for gossip. Then a game that would decide the fate of civilization appeared out of nowhere, issuing a red warning: “Fail to clear the game and you'll be socially ruined.” Meng Xiang: Huh? Is there gossip? As it turns out, there is. Plenty of it. So while everyone else carefully gathers clues and racks their brains for a way to clear the game, Meng Xiang crouches in a dark corner, quietly watching the feuds and rivalries of a wealthy family. While others fail to form an alliance and end up fighting, scheming to sell out their teammates, Meng Xiang slips into an abandoned shopping street, collecting flyers to piece together how prosperous it once was. While others flee in panic from pursuing monsters, escaping however they can, Meng Xiang squats in an inconspicuous cabinet in the corner, ears pricked as she listens to the ups and downs of life in the mansion. At first, everyone thinks Meng Xiang is messing around. But after she clears every stage perfectly, their gazes start to change... Top student and master of predicting exam questions: It's definitely not gossip. Meng Xiang just gathers clues differently from everyone else! Proud, well-read young lady: Is this what a genius is? Meng Xiang's intuition is terrifying! Social butterfly and lucky girl: Goddess Meng, please take me with you! After hearing all the ridiculous rumors, Meng Xiang laughs helplessly. “Come on, repeat after me: Don't assume everything is a transmigration fantasy, don't assume everything is a transmigration fantasy... I'm really just gossiping!” Theme: The light that once illuminated the darkness will shine brilliantly in another sky
