Synopsis: [Pre-release synopsis for “Tycoon System, But Selling Spicy Hot Pot” is below, welcome to bookmark]
This novel’s synopsis:
When the game “Contend for the World” entered beta testing, Xu Mao enthusiastically signed up, only to lose ten matches in a row after joining. Crushed by this heavy blow, she chose to quit, but accidentally clicked and started another match.
Once this game begins, you cannot exit. Left with no choice, Xu Mao could only continue playing.
Xu Mao firmly believed that with her rich experience of failure, she would quickly be able to log out of the game world.
Natural disasters were rampant, yet the court increased taxes. With starving corpses littering the land, Xu Mao broke into the government granary to open granaries and distribute grain, for which she was sentenced to immediate execution.
On the day of the execution, the wind whistled mournfully. Facing the supervising magistrate’s question, Xu Mao gave a firm answer: “Xu Mao has no regrets!”
And then… the common people came to storm the execution grounds!
When one plan failed, she devised another. Xu Mao gathered the common people and gave a public speech proclaiming “Are kings, lords, generals, and ministers born with a special seed?”, waiting for the bailiffs to come arrest her.
Unexpectedly, her call found a massive response. The people of Huaining County charged into the government office and delivered the county magistrate’s head to Xu Mao.
Shocked, Xu Mao racked her brains and immediately wrote a letter to the emperor, demanding a noble title and rewards, threatening to storm the imperial capital otherwise.
As a result, uprisings across various regions spiraled out of control, the army mutinied, chaos erupted in Chang’an, and the emperor, fleeing south and scared out of his wits, adopted a policy of appeasement. With a stroke of his imperial brush, he enfeoffed Xu Mao as a prince.
Xu Mao: “…” I was just saying that offhand.
As time passed, the more Xu Mao slacked off, the more people flocked to her side. Even famous ministers she had previously tried hard to recruit but failed to win over now came to her. Xu Mao, suppressing her heartache, rejected them all and pointed them toward their original factions.
Xu Mao: “You should go find Sun Baoan. There, your talents will never be buried.”
The strategist who should have been Sun Baoan’s: “Understood!”
Not long after, infighting broke out in Sun Baoan’s camp, resulting in numerous casualties. The strategist, having successfully sowed discord, returned to Xu Mao’s side with troops and horses.
Xu Mao screamed in collapse: “When will this miserable life finally end?”!”
Her attendants witnessed this and recorded it: Once the deed was accomplished, the Emperor was displeased, yet pitied the people’s lamentable cries, wondering when this age of chaos would cease.
[Reading Tips]
1. Check-in + System, the Golden Finger is wide open. A pure, brainless wish-fulfillment story. Set in a fictional dynasty with many personal settings. All place names and country names are chosen arbitrarily. No depth or allusions to reality, just for fun. Please do not elevate it to a discussion of values.
2. Game background, high fictional content. Initially, the female protagonist treats those around her merely as NPCs. Readers with strong moral sensibilities are not advised to read.
[Highlighted Content Warning: There are many female characters in the story. The presence of male characters in the protagonist’s faction is downplayed, and most antagonists are male. Readers who do not prefer this are advised to cut their losses in time!!]
“Tycoon System, But Selling Spicy Hot Pot” Synopsis:
Xu Jian is about to graduate with no job prospects in sight when she unexpectedly binds with a Tycoon System. However, before she could rejoice, a slip of the finger led her to accidentally select “Spicy Hot Pot” when choosing a business domain.
She looked at the mission and fell silent. How could a small spicy hot pot shop possibly need that much money? Failure to spend it all would leave her saddled with a mountain of debt!
Xu Jian worked tirelessly and finally managed to spend all the money.
Renting out apartments where consumption points at the spicy hot pot shop could offset rent led to the apartments becoming wildly popular, with everyone scrambling to live there.
Shooting advertisements to promote the spicy hot pot brand unexpectedly caused all the female leads and music producers featured in the ads to rapidly become famous. Fans tearfully begged Xu Jian to venture into the entertainment business and enter the entertainment industry.
Xu Jian’s spicy hot pot stall wasn’t doing particularly well, yet he shone brightly in other fields and was recognized as an outstanding entrepreneur (excluding the food and beverage industry).
Staring at a pile of medals from outside the food service industry, Xu Jian felt somewhat bewildered: “I thought I was just selling spicy hot pot…”
