A mysterious website recruits hotel testers and offers extremely high salaries, she only needs to hand in the her accommodation experience and propose a solution at a designated hotel. Her heart moved and submitted a resume, and received an invitation from a hotel that night.

The first hotel was unbelievably popular. There would be elevator full of people going up and down in the middle of the night. There was always a woman who pushed the stroller, walking in the corridors, and sharp-teeth kid would stare at people for candy.

Xiang Ya tried to ignore these unscientific anomalies until she dreamed of a mu*der in her sleep, and three days later, her dream came true. At this moment, she believed that the job she was applying for was somewhat scary.

It was well known that in every novel, there would always be a supporting male character like this:... more>>

They were either crazy about the female lead or willing to work.

Even if they gave themselves a green hat, they were ready to.

The female lead was misunderstood by the male lead, so he came to explain.

In the end, he only got a sentence from the female lead: “I just think of you as a brother.”

He could be used against the male lead. In the end, the male and female leads ruined him as the strong prevailed over the weak.

After Gu Jingyu became one of those miserable supporting male characters in the novel…

The heroine of the domineering novel said: “I just think of you as a brother.”

Gu Jingyu: “Thank you. My mom only gave birth to me.”

The heroine from the modern-day time-travel novel: “This is a vegetarian snack that I have carefully developed for you. I think you’ll like it.”

Looking at the spicy veggie m**t stick in the heroine’s hand, Gu Jingyu fell into silence. Did he look like a fool?

The useless protagonist in the immortal cultivation novel said: “For thirty years, people east of the river prosper, then for another thirty years those on the west prosper: life is full of ups and downs. Don’t bully the poor youth! You wait, I will definitely come back to take revenge.”

Gu Jingyu directly imprisoned the protagonist until he ascended. <<less

One day, Chi Nan entered the body of a blind young master who died accidentally. The young master was the owner of this forbidden painting. However, Chi Nan had stayed in the painting for a long time. He lost the happiness and sadness of human beings. The only emotion he could show on his face was: tears.

Chi Nan made three wishes to the gods: regain his vision, stop crying and get his memories back.

Thus, he was invited into the world of terror, the Nightmare Cycle. Break the nightmares to gain points and grant his wishes.

Ordinary players: Ahhh, it is terrible! I want to wake up!

Meanwhile, Chi Nan moved through the nightmares, grabbing small skeletons at the crane machine in the amus**ent park at midnight, building ice sculptures with corpses in a snowy country’s mass grave and dancing with a fierce ghost in a life-threatening waltz until dawn.

The dreams were really good. There were endless games, ghosts who tried to amuse him and a mysterious boss who sent him good medicine every day.

Chi Nan cried happily but when he cried, the ghosts of the world trembled.

***

The owner of the body was called You Yu and he suspected that he didn’t die accidentally. In order to understand the truth behind his death and be reborn in his body, he sold his soul to the world called the ‘Nightmare Cycle.’ He became the dream maker behind the scenes, conscientiously creating dreams of terror.

He didn’t expect that he would meet his body in the infinite nightmare he created with his own hands. The user of the body was a bigshot who loved to shed tears. This person was diligent in going through the instances to earn points and restore vision for him.

Thus, You Yu secretly added the sweetest honey to medicine and sent it to Chi Nan at midnight every day. So why did the little crybaby cry again after drinking it? <<less

Bai Ze was a person who not only had knowledge of astronomy and geography but he also knew about trivialities. He could see through the past and understand the future. It was said that once he was asked by the Emperor to make the ‘Bai Ze Map of the Spirits and Monsters’, which consisted of 1,520 kinds of spirits and monsters.

The initial Heavenly Master named Zhang Daoling got from heaven the sword of female and male dragons and tigers. Getting rid of the heretical ritual performance, he cut down the assessment of the strange forces and evil spirits.

Until the Ming dynasty, while Prince Zhu Biao inherited the throne, his younger brother Zhu Di served the country faithfully and took the responsibility of guarding the border of the country. He was granted the title: the great general.

With one mind, the two siblings united and lived peacefully.

There was an emperor of the Ming generation who loved the people so much that he resolved to guard the country until he breathed his last. Since the country was well guarded, the throne in that dynasty was able to be maintained by the next generations and could standstill for the next 500 years.

Later, the rapid completion of modernization and evolution changed the name of Ming to China, and the domain was standing in the East.

In 1,900 years of the Gregorian calendar, a meteor fell and covered eighty percent of the land area of the Blue Star.
