2 异EN The Record of Unusual Creatures 异常生物见闻录 Yuantong远瞳Sci-Fi5.2M WordsCompleted Hao Ren is a good man, just as his name suggests. His ideal life is to get by in peace, renting out a modest home and making enough to live on without ever getting rich. At least, that was the plan before a bunch of lunatic creatures moved into his house. A remote, dilapidated mansion, a bunch of abnormal nonhuman creatures, and an employment contract from “the gods.” Put those three things together, and Hao Ren becomes the busiest landlord and most capable babysitter in the world. And so begins 101Votes6.1MRecs2.6MFans

Hao Ren, true to his name, is a good person whose ideal is to live a peaceful life as a landlord who is neither poor nor rich—at least that's how it was before a bunch of crazy creatures moved into his house. A secluded, dilapidated house, a bunch of somewhat abnormal non-human creatures, and a labor contract from a "god"—these three elements combined make Hao Ren the busiest landlord and most capable nanny in the world. Thus begins the most chaotic, strangest, and most abnormal landlord-tenant story. "From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a sinking ship..."

"Daddy!" Having just transmigrated to a parallel world, Yang Yi was bewildered to see a delicate and adorable little girl calling him "Dad." Okay, Xixi is definitely the biological daughter, and the child's mother is actually a cold and beautiful former pop diva. This has blown up big time! And problems are starting to arise. How to soothe a child? Yang Yi, a former lone assassin, was at his wits' end. How about telling some stories? Yang Yi never expected that the stories he copied would become a global sensation! How can I win back the mother of my child who left because I angered her? With experience, Yang Yi said that there is no problem that a love song cannot solve; if there is, then two songs will do! Many years later, Yang Yi sighed: Actually, I just wanted to open a coffee shop that sells sentimentality and quietly be an artistic and handsome man. Fans were shocked: Father-in-law, stop it! We're still waiting for our wife to star in "Léon: The Professional"! What?! How dare you lay a finger on our Xixi?! Yang Yi angrily drew his dragon blade: "I'll devour the sword of the dragon god!"

Yan Zhaoge's first time traveling through time, he arrived in a strange world where martial arts civilization was extremely prosperous. He stumbled into the Divine Palace Library, which contained everything and collected all the classics of the world. But what followed was a great calamity that destroyed even the Divine Palace. Then, surprisingly, he time-traveled a second time, his soul arriving in the same world, in an era many years later. People unearthed the remnants left after the destruction of the site, and the martial arts civilization here started anew, still in the development stage of a new generation. Yan Zhaoge, whose mind was filled with secret manuals and treasures of the Divine Palace, was transported to the present era for the second time. It was like someone who had gotten used to playing the hell mode was suddenly thrown into the easy mode. This is absolutely amazing! But before that, he needs to solve a problem. "I'm not the protagonist? I'm the rich, handsome, and villainous senior who's competing with the protagonist for a girl?" "This script is wrong!" PS: I already have a completed, high-quality novel, "The First Patriarch in History," with 4.6 million words. You are welcome to add it to your collection and read it while it's still getting to the point of being fully read.

It's not about imperial conquest, otherworldly conflicts, or leveling up and cultivating skills. In fact, this is a very serious and earnest hard science fiction novel about saving the world—just take it as a serious read. Okay, actually, this is just a group of unreliable leaders and a terrible head of state having a hilarious and unrestrained daily life of saving the world. A lazy, good-for-nothing otaku suddenly becomes the head of an empire, and a middle-aged man with a "dad" aura adopts countless little girls. This is the hilarious story of what happens to a certain otaku after he gains a free-meal army that falls from the sky. A serious reminder: this is a very serious and earnest science fiction book…
