Edward Sinclair, the 7th Marquess of Ashton, arrives in New York from London burdened with his family's enormous debts and an empty title. His bargaining chip is his lineage of Old World nobility; his target is the vast wealth of the New World's bandit aristocracy.

When financial tycoon Jay Cook collapsed, Wall Street closed, and everyone was gripped by panic, Edward, with his timeless memory, saw an opportunity to rebuild the empire.

He moved among Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, and J.P. Morgan; this gilded beggar would use the gold of the New World to recast the crown of the Old World.

"My name is Zhang Yan. My parents passed away when I was very young. I live with my grandfather. We are very poor and can only live in a basement..."

"After I grew up, I could only make a living by collecting rent. My days were very mundane and lonely..."

"Landlord, this is this month's rent, one hundred mid-grade spirit stones. Please accept it."

...

"That's enough! Can you please stop bothering me during my interviews?!"

I came to Shuchiin Academy to do only three things: break up high school couples! Scam people into becoming Vtubers! Go find fun in other worlds! As for the "insider story of the First Emperor of the V-world's death," "a single glance can turn someone into a workaholic," and "the mastermind behind the most evil delinquents," they're all lies. So said a certain weirdo from Shuchiin. No pairings, just a pure harem. Main world is a crossover anime slice-of-life story, currently including *Kaguya-sama: Love Is War*, *The Perverted Prince Who Doesn't Smile*, and *Queen Gash*. Other worlds include *The Burial of Frillien*, *Uncle in Another World*, and *Konosuba*.

He was transported to a parallel world and discovered that his employee, Suzuki Satoru, was the future Ainz Ooal Gown.

In a daze, Su Ruojin was reborn as the eldest daughter of a doctor at the Imperial Academy, an eighth-rank official, in Bianjing, the capital of the Great Yin Dynasty. She watched as her mother gave birth to her younger brother and then her younger brother, and the family of a small civil servant went from struggling to make ends meet to having to borrow money to survive.

A six-year-old boy stands on a small stool to reach the stove, but he worries about where his next meal will come from. How is he going to survive?

Don't be afraid... Don't be afraid...

Living in the mega-city of Bianjing, a prosperous and thriving commercial city, and bringing with me delicacies from a thousand years in the future, how could I possibly starve to death?

Impossible... Absolutely impossible...

The Imperial College, the Three Provinces, the Five Academyes, and the Nine Temples—places where civil servants gather—everyone needs breakfast, so let's start with breakfast stalls. Fried dough sticks and sesame cakes with soy milk, sesame dumplings, eight-treasure porridge—still think we don't have enough variety? Pancakes, scallion pancakes, steamed buns, pan-fried tofu pudding, pocket bread, mutton soup with assortment—let's get started… Searching for cotton quilts and Songjiang cloth… oil mills, taverns, general stores… suppressing rebellions and capturing bandits…

You can't earn enough... you simply can't earn enough...

With a pot in my left hand and a spatula in my right, I've captured the essence of everyday life in the bustling metropolis of Kyoto. Here I come!

Xia An'an is an autistic child. When she was four and a half years old, she moved to a new place with her mother. Suddenly, an app called "Cat Hotel" appeared in her world.

One day, a white cat passed by Xia An'an's house.

A potential customer has appeared at your hotel. Please set up a room and wait for the customer to check in.

Xia An'an moved a discarded cardboard box to the backyard, and a little orange cat sneaked into the box and rolled around inside.

[Congratulations! Your Stray Cat Inn has its first guest. Stay duration: 5 minutes. Reward: 5 coins. Would you like to withdraw them?]

Xia An'an gradually discovered that she really did own a cat hotel.

...

Every winter, many stray cats around Xingfu Community die from the cold and hunger. This year, since Xia An'an and her mother moved in, they have had food and shelter. Next spring, not only did all the cats survive, but they also gained several litters of kittens.

The cats decided to make Xia An'an a priority for protection and accompany her as she grows up.

Xia An'an started kindergarten, and the cats took turns taking her to school, guarding her outside the window, rain or shine.

The golden-shaded baby boy, Yuanbao, exclaimed excitedly, "Today it was my turn to take that child to kindergarten! She touched my head before she went in! She touched me!"

The lion cat Rhine gave a haughty "Oh," and then said, "She hugged me on the slide yesterday, and it felt pretty good."

The orange tabby cat rolled its eyes: "What's so great about that? She has a sketchbook, and it's full of pictures of me. Oh, there's one of her holding me."

The cats: "..."

An'an's mother discovered that with the companionship of the cats, her daughter's autism gradually improved, and she even learned to actively communicate with people and made many good friends.

Su Mu stumbled upon the war center of a god-level civilization, but he had no ambition and only wanted to lie low.

Handing it over to the state? Too much trouble. Ruling the world? Too exhausting.

Looking at the hundreds of millions of unexplored otherworldly coordinates in the central hub, Su Mu had a sudden inspiration:

"Why not turn it into a game and let those hardcore gamers on Earth work for me?"

Thus, a "hardcore VR game" called "Virtual World" was born.

Player A: "Holy crap, the physics engine in this game is so realistic! You can build muscles just by carrying bricks?"

Player B: "For the Horde! Slaughter these otherworldly goblins!"

Until one day, Earth was invaded by an alien fleet.

A max-level player impatiently removed his helmet and cleaved the alien warship in two with a backhand sword strike: "Shut up, I haven't finished the dungeon yet!"

The whole world has gone mad: You call this a game?!

Guo Yi travels back in time to the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, and joins Cao Cao's camp.

The awakened god-level passive skill [Heaven rewards diligence] means that as long as you work hard, you can get multiple rewards, and if you continue to work hard, the rewards will become more and more generous (outrageous).

From then on, Guo Yi devoted himself to reading day and night. As he gradually rose to become the chief strategist in Cao Cao's camp, he had already mastered culinary arts, tea ceremony, martial arts, blacksmithing, horsemanship, and the Mohist mechanical arts.

And he is still studying!

Ganmei: "Husband! You really love learning!"

Cao Cao said, "Throughout history, I have never seen anyone more diligent in his studies than Meng Yu."

Years later, Guo Yi, who was the prime minister, often spent his days lying motionless in a reclining chair, ignoring state affairs.

Cao Cao: "Meng Yu! What are you up to?!"

Guo Yi: "Life lies in stillness, and I've been diligently taking care of my health lately."

Yet the country still enjoys favorable weather and abundant harvests year after year.

Cao Cao: "Huh?! Why is that?"

Guo Yi: "Recently, I've been trying to pray to heaven."

Cao Cao: "..."
