【You have successfully transported multiple times, bringing back the parts for manufacturing machines to your underground laboratory】
【You attempt to install the production machine】
【Your rough handling slightly displeases the machine spirit】
【In the end, you manage to assemble the production machine through trial and error, ensuring your survival in this wasteland】
【You lack energy, but luckily the machine comes with solar panels. You find a secluded hollow where sunlight filters down, perfectly meeting your needs】
【Due to the machine spirit's discontent, you are forced to endure a month of foul-smelling food】
【You do not feel much about it; you deeply understand that surviving in such a world is already a blessing】
【Time moves on, and plans are updated】
【Having resolved the most basic survival issues, your gaze turns to enhancing your strength】
【Unlike previous simulations where you relied on self-cultivation to grow stronger, this time your situation is different. You continuously learn and use various machinery, gaining resonance with mechanisms to understand their principles】
……
【The machine spirit is pleased, and mechanical resonance establishes a connection between you and the robotic arm. You successfully grasp the operating principles of the robotic arm】
【You feel that manipulating the robotic arm has become more intuitive】
【The machine spirit is pleased, and mechanical resonance occurs as you use the production machine for an extended period. You gradually understand the principles of the production machine】
【You notice that the instant food cubes and water produced are now more delicious】
【Due to prolonged use of the Gauss dual pistols, the gun spirit is highly content】
【Your shooting accuracy has become exceptionally high, hitting nine out of ten shots even without consciously aiming】
【You vaguely understand the design principles of the Gauss dual pistols】
……
【Simulation Year Two, you are 21 years old】
【You have successfully survived for a year in the city ruins infested with intelligent machines, mostly thanks to your reclusive lifestyle】
【You are immersed in the world of knowledge】
【Feeling that the laws of the universe are opening up to you】
【Long periods of solitude have not made you feel trapped; the numerous technological items in the underground laboratory provide a fresh experience each time you study one】
【You think, this might be the joy of learning】
【Your talent is terrifyingly strong; in just one year, you have rapidly grown from a naive state to a knowledgeable scientific researcher】
【Besides the growth in knowledge, you discover an unexpected bonus】
【The combined effect of the machine spirit’s pleasure and mechanical resonance causes subtle changes in your body. Your physical capabilities have improved, comparable to the gene warriors mentioned in the laboratory documents】
【You can even enhance the performance of different machinery at will】
【This new and unique ability is what you call Mech Force】
【Some unseen blessing watches over you; your Mech Force is amplified tenfold. A cold breeze passes, and you instinctively shiver, as if someone is staring at you】
……
【Simulation Year Three, you are 22 years old】
【Incredible, you are practically a superman among supermen】
Your knowledge reserve is incredibly vast; you have resonated and understood most of the machinery in the laboratory, with only a few still perplexing you due to their complexity.
【“The power of double golden force is downright terrifying!”】
【You reflect on this simulation with a look of nostalgia】
【Knowledge is power, capable of clearing away ignorance and helping you see the true world】
【Through prolonged research and study, you realize your current location is the Sixth Satellite City in the south of the Federation】
【Neither a major metropolis of the Federation nor an important spaceport】
【You feel fortunate; if you had been transported to a major city, you would have needed to confront starship intelligent machines, fighting space battles with your human body】
【Could you win?】
【You conclude in your heart: it would be a sure death】
【You start utilizing the knowledge you’ve gained to improve the poor environment of the underground laboratory, repairing damaged circuits such as the water and electricity systems, lighting systems, and power armor systems】
【Your progress is smooth, but in the midst of your busy work, you gradually realize an unavoidable truth】
【Human strength is ultimately limited】
……
On the surface, the sun is radiant, and the roaming metal monsters glisten under the sunlight.
Underground, it is dark and dim; calloused hands slowly arrange the new wiring.
Among the gaps of bricks and dust.
Silence pervades.
The collapsed and tilted buildings create a chaotic blockade, preventing sunlight from reaching the depths.
The rare spots with sunlight are occupied by solar panels, absorbing every bit of light, some even reaching the surface, quietly and discreetly harvesting energy.
Green moss slowly covers the crevices of the ruins.
Providing Xu Xi with scarce fresh air.
“I hope this works, otherwise, my research efficiency will be greatly reduced,” Xu Xi stops his work, completing the final adjustment.
Wearing slightly dirty clothing, he slowly retreats.
A massive, smooth mechanical object.
Is now presented before his eyes.
Its surface is silvery white, with numerous protruding and recessed ports, crossed by countless wires that flicker faintly as Xu Xi gazes at them.
“My strength, alone, is ultimately limited.”
“The machine spirit’s pleasure and mechanical resonance, although they make me stronger, mainly enhance my learning speed.”
“I’m still just one person, capable of nothing.”
“I cannot stand up to the numerous intelligent machines, nor can I calculate all laboratory data with a single thought.”
Xu Xi’s expression is complex.
Staring at the silver-white mechanical object.
He flips the switch with utmost caution.
The sacred and majestic tree of technology, the hallmark of a technological civilization, is ultimately not something one person can master.
Xu Xi now desperately needs something to assist him, to take care of trivial matters within the laboratory base, or even to provide combat support.
The items in the laboratory are almost all studied by Xu Xi.
If he wants to advance further.
He must venture to the surface.
To study and analyze those intelligent machines and the mechanical artifacts scattered throughout the city.
Therefore, Xu Xi rummages through the garbage in the underground laboratory, finding a severely damaged robot. He intends to use its core as an auxiliary AI for the laboratory.
“What a pity…”
“Such a level of laboratory would usually be equipped with a high-performance supercomputer.”
“But the best I can find here are just remnants of ordinary machinery.”
Tick.
Tick.
Xu Xi watches as the solar energy conversion slowly energizes the machine core, bringing it to boot-up state.
As a precaution, Xu Xi has already disassembled all the robot’s parts.
Now, he also holds the Gauss dual pistols.
He is on full alert.
Bracing for the possibility that the activated machine might join the intelligent machine rebellion, attacking Xu Xi as a human.
“Click,” Xu Xi silently activates the Gauss pistol.
The machine begins to make sounds, its voice module slightly screechy and sharp due to its age.
“Home service autonomous robot, RTX-9090, booting up self-check in progress…”
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you."

invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
