Chapter 2: I Want to Lose Everything!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“So, the question now is which field I should enter.”
After pondering about it, Pei Qian decided that he should first get to know the situation of this world.
Opening his laptop, he ran a search on Qiandu search engine and began looking up recent news, particularly those on technology.
“There’s some differences, albeit small ones.” Pei Qian had a rough idea of things.
…
Similar to his previous world, the trend still revolved around the Internet, technology, games and cultural industries.
Pei Qian could choose to enter any industry – that was something the system had no restrictions on.
However, in order to create value and not violate the system’s rules, Pei Qian had to employ relevant professionals while starting the company.
Towards industries that he wasn’t familiar with, Pei Qian had no confidence in navigating things – what if the professionals he employed were really incredible and ended up making the project a success?
After much contemplation, Pei Qian decided on the games industry.
Even though Pei Qian hadn’t been in the games industry personally, he had played tons of games. With such an influence, he had a rough understanding of the industry.
Compared to the other industries, he felt more confident in his ability to navigate through the games industry.
By changing some of the gameplay slightly, he could create a game that could fail – that was a huge advantage he had!
Besides, it was easy to burn money in the games industry.
For physical industries, he could still sell the fixed assets to recoup and that wouldn’t be a total loss. However, in the games industry, the losses would be thorough and result in worthless codes.
With his memories of the world 10 years later, as long as he intentionally avoided creating profit-making games, wouldn’t he be done?

Step One: Make the game!
Step Two: Lose money and have the System Funds converted to his Personal Wealth entirely!
Step Three: Spend to his heart’s content!
Ah, that’s how perfect things are going to be.
Pei Qian felt that he was an absolute genius!
…
After deciding on his direction, Pei Qian looked up the official site of the Bureau of Commerce and downloaded his company’s management profile by logging in successfully with his ID Card Number and an initial password.
There was a company registered under his name – Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. – and there was 50,000 yuan worth of funds.
This must have been registered for him using the system’s black technology.
In the aspect of entrepreneurship, there’s a huge difference between Pei Qian’s previous life and this parallel world of simplified difficulty.
In order to encourage more citizens to start their own businesses, there was a low barrier of entry to creating companies and most of the procedures were intelligentized and could be completed online and at the client’s end.
This was extremely helpful for entrepreneurs and was even Pei Qian’s previous world that was 10 years ahead could not match up in this aspect.
There were other similar changes.
For example, thanks to the rapid advancement in telecommunications and cloud technology, many industries gathered their networks and resources and that raised the efficiency of working online.
Take the games industry for example, there was a unified official organization – Entertainment Software Ranking Organization. ESRO for short, they are in charge of regulating and auditing across different genres of games.
At the same time, ESRO has an official website for resources that’s open for all entrepreneurs.
One could view ESRO’s official site as a compilation of the domestic games market’s resources. Here, one could pay to purchase universally usable art resources, programming templates, design manuscripts or even hire professionals to customize their own games.

These art resources, programming templates and whatnot were all shared by individuals or companies within the industry and anyone could use them at a cost.
But of course, these were all resources that were more common and on the lower end.
On the website, one could contact certain hotshots such as top tiered designers and negotiate with them to work together.
Other than that, ESRO has even compiled all the common game editors on the market and simplified them to launch an official game editor of their own. As long as one would take the effort to learn, most people would be able to handle it even without actual programming background.

Protagonist: The Whims of Gods
Book one now also on Amazon! After quitting her job as a therapist and grabbing some work at a dog shelter, Tess's life became pretty slow. A tad boring, even. It thus came as no small surprise when she was chosen by a god. Thrust into a new world where magic, monsters, and character levels are suddenly a reality, Tess will quickly find that just surviving can be a challenge. It doesn't help that dark forces are stirring, she's woefully underpowered, and that spiders keep trying to claw her face off. One thing's for certain, though: The possibilities are endless. Will she end up wrestling a dragon? Becoming an arch-mage? Opening a quaint, bookstore, coffee shop, and wine bar for elves? The choice is hers... As long as she can live long enough to make it. Protagonist is a fairly classic LitRPG novel with character levels, classes, stats, settlements, and other LitRPG elements. Unlike a lot of LitRPG stories, while the protagonist has some perks, she doesn't start off overpowered. You can expect to see her struggle as she advances. This novel also takes the opportunity to explore some less frequently seen builds, shying away from any min-maxing. Chapters are about ~2000-3000 words and are released at 8:00am ET every other day.

Supreme Leader of the Frozen Dragon Sect Ye Xiyang opened his eyes 17 years in the past and smiled. "Aren't you going to help me?" Wan Yu raised an eyebrow and continued to chop wood. "Aren't you asking for a bit too much? You're a man older and stronger than me, if you really want my help then help me with these logs first."

8 313Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
