It's normal for them to publish a lot of Nature articles to market their movies, right?

In order to earn some initial capital, it's quite normal to persuade the Koreans to continue investing in room-temperature superconductivity, right?

It's perfectly normal for them to mine asteroids so they can get to Mars before Musk, right?

Outsiders: What exactly is normal?

Chen Yuanguang: If you could go to the future, you would also find this to be normal.

But why is this future starting to look so strange?

A college graduate, unable to find a job for three years, had to take the postgraduate entrance exam. After another three years of unemployment following his master's degree, he was forced to pursue a doctorate. Under the relentless pressure of classmates who jumped to their deaths every year because they couldn't graduate with their doctorates, this unfortunate, PhD-level nerdy guy finally endured the final stage of his academic life. Just as he was about to land his first lucrative job, he was abducted by aliens for human experimentation. But that wasn't the worst of it. Even worse, after being ruined by the aliens, he was abandoned on a planet with an unknown environment… Prologue – The Birth of a Nerdy Guy "Ten thousand miles of wind and smoke rise, gathering into banners to slay the black dragon." Luo Yanqi is my name, but its meaning is definitely not as elegant as this poem my father wrote. My father was a heavy smoker, always puffing away. The first half of the poem, "Ten thousand miles of wind and smoke," is purely a figment of his imagination. The second half of the sentence refers to a dog older than me. My father liked to take a deep drag of smoke and then blow it into the dog's nose, amusing himself by watching the dog struggle. The dog died when I was five. Despite my mother's strict prohibition, I ended up being the one blown into the dog's nose, which is why I absolutely hate smoking, especially secondhand smoke. In middle school, I gradually developed a dislike for men who smoke, and by high school, I hated men altogether. Unfortunately, as a human whose gender symbol is upward-pointing, I'm not very attractive to women, which means I have practically no friends. Besides finding solace in novels, comics, and games, I'm seen as a very eccentric person by others. People like me have an unflattering nickname from the Land of the Rising Sun—a shut-in!

"What is the most crucial secret to your success today?"

Various lights shone on Chu Junhui's face, deeply imprinting his calm expression on the monument of history.

"Go for it! How can you play a martial arts game without going for it!"

...

Two word games, projecting extraordinary power into reality, turn the world upside down.

It's a cultivation game where players focus on survival and maintain a lighthearted, detached attitude towards friendship.

A martial arts game where players are all about recklessness, daring to be the first and not caring about being immortal.

Li Xiao returned to his hometown, inherited a zoo, obtained a system, and started a live stream of his pleasant daily life at the zoo. He would pet tigers, tease eagles, and rescue some wild animals. Unbeknownst to him, he became known as the last cultivator on Earth.

Audience member: "This guy can communicate with animals!"

Li Xiao: "I don't understand animal language."

After saying that, he started to educate the giant panda about rare animals, letting the giant panda do whatever it wanted, regardless of what level of protection the animals were, since it was already at the maximum level!

Audience member: "The zoo director is so poor, the zoo is almost bankrupt."

Li Xiao: "I'm not poor, I'm just not interested in money."

After saying that, Li Xiao caught a bluefin tuna worth 21 million, the most expensive in the world!

Audience member: "Is the headmaster actually a cultivator?"

Li Xiao: "Young people, you must believe in science!"

After saying that, Li Xiao, holding the golden eagle cub that had fallen off the cliff, leaped down...

My name is Asakura Kaede, I'm 17 years old, and I live in Shinjuku, Tokyo. I attend Toyonosaki Gakuen, a second-year high school student, and I also work part-time as a light novel author. I don't smoke or drink, I go to bed at 11 pm, and I need to get a full 8 hours of sleep every night... "Kaede, where are the snacks?"

"..." "Once I get into bed, I fall into a deep sleep and sleep soundly until dawn, absolutely no fatigue or stress..." "Asakura Kaede!!! Hurry up and help me!

Chen Zhen traveled through time and became a teacher named Yoshizakikawa in a Japanese school.

At first, he thought it was normal.

Until he found out that the girl who was bullied by his original self and came to collect rent every month was named Kayako.

Moreover, there was a classmate named Tomie who was flirting with him in a university class.

There is also a neighbor named Shirai, an autistic girl who doesn't like people calling her name.

There was also a transfer student named Sadako Yamamura who came to him one day to apply for a scholarship.

He was lost in thought;

Anyway, it's like this, why not have some fun?

"Kayako, Tomie, Sadako, let's play with the Pen Fairy!"

No system

“You’re failing math, physics, and chemistry. You won’t get into college like that. Look at that kid next door, Gu Lu. He’s been smart since he was little. He’s also bad at those subjects, yet he still got into Peking University. They say he got a guaranteed spot through something called the 'North Cultivation Cup.' Why don’t you give it a try?”

“Mom, Gu Lu is a famous author! He wrote bestsellers like Flatland, The Convenience Store of Solace, The Human Chair… I’m just a regular rich, handsome guy. How can I possibly compare to him?!”

With its turquoise land, lush woods and blue sea, this is Lu Yuan's new home in Australia. Grow vegetables, plant fruit trees, and gather grain. Chickens and ducks, sheep and cattle, abalone and lobsters in the sea. Koalas are asleep in front of the door, kangaroos are playing in the garden, and parrots are nagging on the roof. Doghead gold, glass meteorites, and pirate treasures are easy to find. Fishing, horseback riding, and cooking some food in his spare time are the life of a farmer in Australia.
