After the Apocalypse, Mushrooms Grew a Hotel [Management]

(Upcoming novel: My Home Is Connected to a Supernatural Theme Park) Ye Lin transmigrated to the apocalypse and became a mushroom. To make matters worse, the zombies in this apocalypse loved eating fungi. Chased by zombies into an abandoned basement, Ye Lin wondered if he was a poisonous mushroom and whether he could give the zombies a hallucinogenic surprise by making them eat fungi raw. A notification suddenly appeared before him: [You have completed the “Hotel Site Selection” mission. Reward: “Rapid Mycelium Growth” ability.] [Improve the hotel’s operations, attract more guests, earn high satisfaction ratings, and become the number one hotel in the apocalypse.] … Using mycelium to cobble together a shabby little shack, Ye Lin struggled to improve the hotel’s service. He met the most basic needs for food and shelter: Food: Fresh-picked wild mushrooms Lodging: Soft, fluffy, springy mycelium beds He also offered top-tier security: Outside: Hallucinogenic mushrooms knock out wandering zombies. Inside: Spores infect guests who try to skip out on their bills. Ye Lin crossed out “indoor security service” and wrote instead: Mycelium spa: Mycelium gives you a full-body massage from every angle. … When the main hotel hit a growth bottleneck, Ye Lin had no choice but to open multiple branches. Spores fell on the soil of distant lands, and mycelium spread into the most remote corners. Every living thing wondered who owned these rapidly built city-states. Guest: “May I ask how much it costs to enter the Mushroom Empire each day?” Ye Lin, bewildered: “I’m just running a hotel.” Reader’s guide: 1. Neither lead is human, but both can take human form. 2. An unconventional apocalypse setting. Zombies eat mushrooms, and mushrooms fight zombies. That’s perfectly normal. Upcoming novel: My Home Is Connected to a Supernatural Theme Park “Welcome to the supernatural theme park. Please purchase a ticket before entering.” “Certified theme park employees, please use the staff entrance.” Gazing at the long line at the entrance to the supernatural theme park, Li Yu fell silent. Were people in this wasteland world really so eager to put their lives at risk? … Later, Li Yu understood. Rule-based supernatural tales were the wasteland world’s number-one source of productivity. With human development, rule-based supernatural tales could be made to produce a steady output. As long as they wore the right “human skin,” ordinary people could safely enter the developed “supernatural theme parks.” To make money, Li Yu set her sights on the rule-based supernatural tales. Just as she was worrying about not having enough money for a ticket, Li Yu suddenly discovered that the back door of her own home was a randomly appearing entrance to a rule-based supernatural tale. When Li Yu smuggled herself into different supernatural theme parks through her back door, other people complained: “The ticket prices have gone up. We’ll never make our money back at this rate.” “There are fewer new parks being developed. Now I can’t even switch jobs to another park.” When Li Yu sold goods outside the supernatural theme parks, the shopkeepers inside frowned. “The park’s goods are about to overflow the warehouse.” “What lunatic is dumping stock outside?” … At first, Li Yu only wanted to make money from supernatural tales. Later, she discovered: Some supernatural tales had been developed into theme parks. Others had swallowed entire cities. and the back door of her home didn’t seem to lead only to supernatural tales. Reader’s guide: 1. The heroine has a love interest. 2. The setting is a post-wasteland civilization entering the industrial age of supernatural tales. Theme: Desperate situations are the beginning of a turning point
