During the same year, the KID base’s mecha mechanic had his team doctor qualification revoked for violating league rules. The base’s owner had no choice but to release a recruitment announcement, which instantly sparked a heated debate within the league.

“What? Hiring? How much is the salary?”

“As we all know, KID is very poor. Don’t bother applying.”

“There are so few mechanics, yet you offer this salary. Are you taking us as fools?”

Before long, the KID base actually recruited a mechanic. The mechanic wore a hat that obscured his face and loose long sleeves, revealing faint glimmers of cold light from intricate mechanical hand within his sleeve. He appeared frail and delicate, more like a vase than a mecha mechanic.

“Is his right hand a prosthetic? Mechanical hand? Are you kidding me? Can it be accurate?”

“I doubt he can even lift an outer armor plate.”

Two years later, the Mecha Alliance underwent restructuring, requiring the team doctors of the alliance’s base teams to participate in battles. The KID club submitted its roster, and there was a new ID on the list—[sink].

The people in the league then realized that KID not only recruited a mechanic but also one with explosive combat power.

Ying Chenlin was reborn and returned to his genetically mutated 18-year-old self.

During that year, he had just won the first grand slam of the Mecha Alliance, following his heart and pursuing his dreams relentlessly. However, two years later, he suffered from genetic backlash, leaving him disabled in half of his body, leading a life confined to a wheelchair.

In his most difficult years, it was KID’s boss who took him in, giving him a chance, teaching him a new profession, and pulling him out of the abyss. Starting anew, he turned down offers from various bases, resolutely retired before his body deteriorated further, and applied to become a mecha mechanic at the KID base.

Repaying the debt, recovering his health, starting over again—he had experienced the pinnacle, and even if he was full of scars, he was determined to reach the summit once more.

Summary:... more>>

Everyone knows that Ning Sheng and Xu Ling clash every day.

But one day, Ning Sheng found himself reborn at the age of five.

He opened his eyes and found himself in kindergarten, holding a toy puppy, and sitting beside him was a small, furious version of his arch-nemesis.

Xu Ling was clutching his collar, fists clenched, just as fierce as he remembered.

Xu Ling: "You took an extra cookie. Put it down!"

Ning Sheng: ...Who wants it?

At this age, Xu Ling was lively and sunny, far from the later gloomy and scheming version. He was even a bit cute.

Ning Sheng decided to get closer to his nemesis, build a good relationship, and avoid making enemies.

—

Ning Sheng's toy puppy went missing and seeing him upset, his best friend, Xu Ling, volunteered to be his dog.

The reward was an extra cookie every day.

For just one cookie, Xu Ling would do anything for him—stand in for punishments, write his diary, scold annoying classmates.

So, over a decade later, when Ning Sheng was informed about his arranged marriage, Xu Ling stayed up all night, gathered his belongings, then chased his prospective partner away.

Ning Sheng: Wait...

Ning Sheng: I didn't ask you to...

The other party's expression wasn't good. Ning Sheng praised him tremblingly for doing a good job and pulled out a small cookie.

Xu Ling, impassive: "Cookies aren't enough, the price has gone up."

Ning Sheng: ?

Xu Ling planted a kiss on his lips: "You have to use this as payment."

Game Tester Mu Sichen was pitted and transmigrated into a holographic game. The game was an apocalyptic world after a cataclysmic event, where there were unnameable monsters everywhere, and they had divided the world into different towns.... more>>

The monsters had divided the world into different towns, and the survivors were scattered in these towns. Mu Sichen waved his pickaxe and swung it to kill an unidentifiable monster that terrorized the town.

A teary-eyed survivor took the tools and asked expectantly, “Won’t you lead us to build a home?”

Mu Sichen: “I am only a trainee, the ideal home is still to be built by you, I am only responsible for grabbing the site.”

So Mu Sichen carried his pickaxe through the different towns and snatched the territory, and accidentally snatched Qin Zhou, who was called “the last hope of mankind”.

The leader of the survivors chased after him, “You robbed the wrong person, Qin Zhou is the protector of our safe zone!”

Mu Sichen looked at Qin Zhou, who was holding him tightly. He was a bit silly. He seemed willing to be robbed by him-

The Qin family had a secret, they guarded human beings in the last ages with their strength. He was going crazy. Each person with the ability of “field” would eventually become an indescribable monster.

In order to delay the attack, Qin Zhou became weaker and weaker. Until one day, a man with a pickaxe came to the safety zone. Qin Zhou immediately hugged him and whispered, “Take me away quickly. ”

The man pinched Qin Zhou’s hand, “I can take you away, but loosen your grip, I’m a little out of breath.”

“Oh.” Qin Zhou agreed but his grip tightened. <<less

The most important duty of a Taoist priest is getting rid of monsters, exorcising ghosts, and raising his temple’s reputation! Xie Lingya, though, is not a Taoist priest. He just has the Immortal Roots…... more>>

Some people can learn in a day what takes others ten years of hard work. Xie Lingya is like this–other people have to cleanse themselves and meditate to draw talismans, but he can do it as easy as drinking a glass of water. Unfortunately, in this era, graduating from a renowned university is much more valuable than the talent for cultivation. He who has the Immortal Roots finally chose to study finance.

However, the world is unpredictable. His uncle, a Taoist priest, died unexpectedly, leaving his temple to Xie Lingya. His last wish was for his nephew to find the right person to inherit his sect’s teachings.

So Xie Lingya, who had no intentions to become a Taoist, ended up as… the owner of a Taoist temple. He began to earnestly manage the deserted little place, striving to gain believers. He also struggled to recruit priests, in hope of finding a suitable successor for his uncle. After a chance encounter, his target became Shi Changxuan, who came from an influential Taoist family and had outstanding skills. Not scared off by the man’s aloof personality, he struck up a conversation and tried to get his phone number. He didn’t realize this move could be easily misunderstood… <<less

Ten-year boyfriend is marrying a rich family; Fang Xingzhou broke up with him in sadness.

After the breakup, the boyfriend seems to have gone crazy.

He launched a frantic assault on Fang Xingzhou, acting temperamental, expressing jealousy everywhere, crazy, more and more unlike a normal human ……

At a certain family dinner, he opened a medical report in front of the whole family.

“My wife,” he said with deep emotion and a beautiful, eye-catching smile, “I am pregnant, and we are going to be together forever and ever.”

Fang Xingzhou, a doctor: “?”

Who is pregnant? How? Using where?

Although he felt that this matter was incredibly weird, after seeing the DNA report, Fang Xingzhou still took responsibility.

The misunderstanding about the marriage was resolved and they got back together.

Pregnant boyfriend’s possessiveness gets stronger than ever, Fang Xingzhou patiently took care for ten months, fifteen months, twenty months …… finally waited for the birth of the child.

He guarded the night and rushed over when he heard any activity-

The …… beautiful and incomparable lover was left with only a head, and the room was full of writhing tent**les, and in the middle of the tent**les was a bloody egg that was protected.

” Honey,” the head spoke with a face full of happiness, “look at our child.”

.

And then later.

Things got even weirder.

Fang Xingzhou looked at the little monster that hugged him and called him daddy, and saw a hint of cuteness in those pairs of scarlet pupil-less eyes.

His lover hugged him from behind and rubbed his shoulder tenderly, his voice cold and deep, “The child looks so much like you.”

Fang Xingzhou was silent for a long time and pinched his son’s tent**les.

Ya Xiao is a very pitiful little demon who had his bat wings and tail snapped off by his mother right after he was born.... more>>

Once a demon loses their wings and tail, they become the lowest demon in the group.

Fortunately, Ya Xiao grew up with a motivational system.

With the help of his Uncle System, Ya Xiao worshipped evil by nature, but his character was positive, sunny, healthy, and full of ideals and beliefs!

Four hundred years later, Ya Xiao relied on his own efforts with great motivation and regrew his tail, and just when he was about to grow his wings,

——he transmigrated.

Ya Xiao: ......

System: ......cub, don't cry! System Dad will take you back!

＊＊＊＊

In order to let the cub go back, the system learned after looking up and analyzing that this was a novel. In it, there was a villain who had one hand on the sky and was always against the protagonist's group. The system cried tears of joy.

"Cub, you go to approach the villain and absorb the demon value from him."

Ya Xiao nodded, "Okay!"

After some manipulations, Ya Xiao successfully took up his position as the villain's butler.

Just as he was happily on duty and ready to approach the villain, he was in time to see the already-blackened villain strangling the protagonist's neck. His eyes were fierce and cold, and he looked bloodthirsty and cruel.

Ya Xiao: ......!!!

He's so badass! I love it so much!

Ya Xiao's soul that worshipped the powerful awakened. He couldn't restrain his tail from wagging left and right in his pants, and his heart was stirred up.

System: ......???

＊＊＊＊

The new butler is beautiful, soft, well-behaved, and kind.

Whether it's scheduling or dealing with various chores, he always arranges them perfectly.

Qin Qi heard his subordinates say that the butler liked him.

He pulled at the corner of his mouth and put out the cigarette in his hand.

Like him? Might as well like a dog.

An existence as beautiful and soft as a cat like the butler should be pampered with gold and silver.

And he would only bring misfortune and fear to the other party.

In a rare attack of conscience, Qin Qi purposely took him to the battlefield once to make it clear to the other party that they weren't even from the same world.

The severed limbs of the insects were piled up in mountains. The foul-smelling green blood intertwined with the blood of the humans was disgusting, and it made the people go increasingly crazy.

"See?"

Qin Qi drew out his silver blade, signaling the other to look at his compatriots who had already gone crazy from the mental contamination:

"As long as the insect mother isn't dead, the insects will never die, and I'll become a complete and utter madman."

"But the insect mother..." snorted Qin Qi, "No one can fight that kind of thing."

Ya Xiao: ......

He trembled as he pulled something just like a gemstone out from behind him.

"Is... is this it?"

Qin Qi: ......

Ya Xiao: QAQ
I didn't know this shiny thing was the insect mother! <<less

Xu Mu was a hardcore otaku, who one night died suddenly from playing games late into the night, only to open his eyes and find himself alive again.... more>>

A noisy black ball surrounded him, claiming he had entered into some novel as a cannon fodder extra.

Xu Mu firmly believed he was experiencing hallucinations, waving his hand to dismiss the black ball.

With a "sizzle," after a few seconds, the black ball disappeared.

Sure enough, it was just a hallucination, and he went back to sleep satisfied.
-

Once, while out, Xu Mu encountered an injured rabbit on the road.

He intended to bandage the rabbit's wound, but the rabbit kept struggling, refusing to cooperate.

"Be good, I'll take you back to bandage your wound."

The rabbit stopped struggling.

Xu Mu: How fierce, but quite spiritual.

After bandaging the rabbit's wound, it ran off without looking back.

Xu Mu felt regretful, his wish of raising a rabbit shattered.

His life as a shut-in continued, until one day, the doorbell rang.

A fair and gentle man stood at the door, offering cookies and speaking softly, "Hello, I'm your new neighbor who recently moved in..."

Xu Mu didn't catch the rest of the words, his attention entirely on the box of cookies.

So hungry.

The man smiled gently, "Go ahead, eat."

Xu Mu wolfed down the cookies, only realizing he behaved inappropriately afterward. He looked at his neighbor sheepishly.

The man didn't say anything, his gaze still soft and accepting.

Later, Xu Mu discovered that his neighbor, who frequently visited, was an excellent cook. He often received delicious food, juices, and occasionally, dinner invitations.

From initially feeling anxious and guilty, Xu Mu gradually felt at ease, all within a few short months.

Xu Mu pondered that it wasn't right to keep eating without giving back, so he handed his bank card to his neighbor.

The man slowly widened his eyes, "What... do you mean?" His face started to flush slightly, a hint of crimson on his skin.

Xu Mu focused on his game, hastily handing over the card, "Take it."

—My food expenses are all covered in there, thank you for your hard work.

Recently, the man's frequency of sending delicious food had increased, and he even accompanied Xu Mu to play games every day, sometimes even helping him tidy up the house.

Xu Mu felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Yu QingTang transmigrated into a book, becoming a background character from a small sect that basically had no script, never appearing more than 3 times even if you searched the entire text, basically having no difference being in the book or not.... more>>

He originally thought he had nothing to do with the story plot and treated it as getting the opportunity to experience the life of a cultivator. However, when he was 12 years old, because the sect couldn’t gather 4 female cultivators to participate in the Immortal Sects’ Unique (Mah) Skills (Jong) Competition for Women, he was forced into women’s clothing by his DaShijie and taken to the WanXian Pavilion to fill the numbers.

In the back mountains of WanXian Pavilion, he met the still young Long AoTian. The Proud Dragon Son of Heaven said he had fallen in love with “her” at first sight.

Yu QingTang: “……”

He put on a fake smile and said: “Haha, I am still young. Come propose in the future if you’re capable.”

The Proud Dragon Son of Heaven snapped a peach blossom branch and handed it to him. Eyes bright and hopeful with a shimmering light, and the mannerism of an innocent young boy, he said with reddened ears: “It’s a deal!”

Yu QingTang was almost blinded by this harmless and benign face before recalling how in the book, this person had peach blossoms like the flowing water, childhood sweethearts all over the world, and red and white roses fighting to the death over him. Instantly his heart calmed like still water. Rejecting all feelings and relations, he replied insincerely: “Of course of course.”

……

Seven years later, the Proud Dragon Son of Heaven, who grew up to be a humanoid typhoon, came for a visit.

Yu QingTang’s cheap Master: “Oh Tang! He went to the Seven Swords Sect before and beat them until there’s only two swords left! This Master is already old and can no longer handle such a youthful warrior!”

Da-Shijie: “Xiao-Shidi, don’t panic. I have a treasure that can solve this problem!”

She took out the Beauty Pavilion’s newest and most fashionable outfit for female cultivators.

Yu QingTang: “…… Get lost!”

……

To save the declining sect, Yu QingTang decided to debut as a female cultivation idol…… like hell.

Enduring the humiliation in silence, he changed into women’s clothes and decided to tactfully reject Long AoTian according to his Shijie’s instructions.

As soon as he left the sect’s gates, he saw the young man leaning against a long spear, stepping on the head of a ferocious beast that had been harassing the sect for so many months it almost made his Master activate the mountain’s great defense wards.

Eyes shining bright like stars, the young man hastily wiped away the blood on his hands and called to him: “XianZi!”

“The Qing Province’s Golden Core Competition is summoning all of the world’s heroes. I… I want to invite XianZi to travel there together with me. I don’t know if XianZi can, uhh……”

It seemed as if he rarely said such genteel and cultured words. Stumbling several times in one sentence, he glanced up at Yu QingTang with a red flushed face, pure and innocent.

Yu QingTang looked cautiously at the censored corpse of the ferocious beast beneath his foot and suspected this might be his state of death after he opens his mouth: “……”

—Shijie, even though the script you wrote to snap off this peach blossom was very cool, I really don’t have the damn guts QAQ!

Bleakly and weakly the wind blows; cold the Yi river flows. The valiant man, once gone, returns in women’s clothes.

Question: When you return home and find a ghost resting on your bed, you rush to the door, only to hear eerie noises outside. You look out through the peephole and see another ghost preparing to open your front door. What should you do in this situation?... more>>

Among various answers like “hide in the shoe cabinet” or “hide in the kitchen,” Jie Fangcheng chooses to slowly draw his sword: first, kill the one on the bed, and then kill the one in the elevator.

***
After working diligently for 1,500 years in the underworld, Jie Fangcheng finally retired as an outstanding employee.
His kind-hearted boss asked him, “Would you like to return to the mortal world? That way, you can continue your work as a 007 agent in the underworld after a hundred and eighty years.”
Jie Fangcheng nodded in agreement.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an infinite game.
The game, “Do Not Respond,” was renowned for its horror, bloodshed, and cruelty. The survival rate in its dungeons did not exceed thirty percent, and death in the game meant real-life death.
Mysterious mountain villages.
Terrifying fairy tale towns.
Apocalyptic Battle Royales…

As players contemplated how to survive in the dungeons, Jie Fangcheng diligently guided and redeemed each NPC.
Jie Fangcheng: “Hello, I’m a recently retired department manager… and now I’m back on the job!”

***
It is said that a newcomer has entered the game, and the dungeon they entered has never been reset.

***
It is also said that someone witnessed NPCs panicking and running around.
Player: How is that possible…

Jie Fangcheng stabbed the ghost leader with his sword, completing the redemption, and wiped his blade: “Who’s next?!”

#What kind of lousy game is this? ［Do Not Respond］but I’ll respond!

#Trying to steal people from the underworld? Did you ask us, the official personnel of the underworld?

Consumption Notes:
1. Not a leveling-focused story, starting at maximum level.
2. Attack and defense mechanics deviate from the traditional rules. The game allows for forced storyline alterations and NPC manipulation.
3. Features a significant number of supporting character perspectives, god-like viewpoint, but not a large ensemble cast. Main focus is on the protagonist and their romantic interest.

The first time Sheng Renxing met Xing Ye, the other had dragged him into a skirmish.

That fight had been exhilarating.

The second time they met, Xing Ye had just finished a round in the ring. He had stood in the centre, entire body covered in wounds, his downcast gaze bypassing everyone else to land on Sheng Renxing.

Sheng Renxing had taken him home.

The third time, Sheng Renxing had arrived at his new school with a head full of red hair. He was met with the sight of Xing Ye in the classroom, all properly-decked out in his school uniform.

Their grades: Sheng Renxing scored 148 points while Xing Ye scored 18 points.

Later:

Blood continued to drip down Xing Ye’s brow ridge. He pressed Sheng Renxing against the door with one hand, his teeth sunk into the boxing glove of his other hand.

What raised everyone’s hackles, even more, was how he had kidnapped the Immortal Lord Chu Binghuan, before shamelessly forcing him to become his Daoist companion!

Everyone cursed him, calling him shameless and disgusting, but he completely disregarded them. Hua Che only gently and cautiously tried currying favour with his crush, his white moonlight.

However, even until death, the only things he managed to obtain from Chu Binghuan were the words “shameless”, and “we’re irreconcilable enemies”—these kinds of hurtful phrases.

Luckily, after being reborn, Hua Che finally understood: that stolen melons were not sweet. During such an excellent era, wasn’t strolling with a cat or teasing a dog also fun?

First, he had to go to Chu Binghuan’s family to break their arranged marriage.

However, the lofty Chu Binghuan, who was originally devoted to cultivating and always disdained his wooing, suddenly had a huge personality change. No matter where Hua Che went, he would follow, and it was impossible to lose him!

Hua Che borrowed a certain person’s words and said, “Shameless!”

Chu Binghuan: “You and I have long had an engagement, and we’ve even slept in the same bed. This is a matter of course.”

Hua Che continued borrowing someone’s words: “We are irreconcilable enemies who cannot live under the same sky!”
