The morning's incident was just another minor episode.
Su Qi hadn't left the house just to grab a meal.
His ultimate destination was the Cardholder Association in Jiangxia City.
First, he needed to register his recent promotion to the sixth rank.
Otherwise, people might suspect he was "harboring ill intentions."
Hah, just kidding—the world wasn’t that dark yet.
The main reason was that starting from the sixth rank, cardholders could claim a free advancement reward from the Association with each promotion.
The rewards varied in value, entirely dependent on individual capability.
But to put it bluntly:
A standard sixth-rank card?
Market reference price: 100K.
For a rare card? You couldn’t get your hands on one for less than 500K.
No wonder people called it a "whale’s profession."
For an average family, the sixth rank was pretty much the ceiling for a cardholder’s journey.
Second, this place had plenty of little loli—
Er, no, short girls.
Finding one under 160cm wouldn’t be hard at all.
He just needed to casually encounter one facing some difficulty, offer guidance, and then ask for her contact info. That should count as completing the mission.
The lobby bustled with cardholders handling various tasks.
Su Qi approached the front desk and said, "Hello, I’m here to register my sixth-rank promotion."
The staff member glanced up, surprise flickering in their eyes at his youthful appearance. "Sixth rank? One moment, please. Provide your cardholder ID, and I’ll check for you."
Su Qi nodded and recited his number.
Soon after, the staff handed him a form. "Please fill in the required details, then proceed to the third floor for your advancement test."
Su Qi took the form, quickly completed it, and headed upstairs via the elevator.
The test itself was straightforward—just a specialized device to measure soul energy.
The real hassle was the "advancement reward."
As the saying went, the free stuff was always the most expensive.
...
He hadn’t taken more than a few steps out of the elevator before the cacophony nearly overwhelmed him.
Most of it had nothing to do with him.
But a small portion...
"Wow, check it out! A hottie just walked in!"
"He’s even more dreamy than that middle-parted guy from yesterday!"
"I wonder if he has a boyfriend. Ugh, my heart’s racing!"
"A boyfriend?"
"Yeah, the harder they are to get, the hotter they are."
Su Qi wasn’t exactly comfortable being the center of attention. He briskly made his way toward the northernmost area.
This was the top floor of the Cardholder Association.
The card ranking system had been mentioned before:
Common, Fine, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, Origin.
An Origin card wasn’t necessarily stronger than a Mythic one.
But it was guaranteed to be unique.
The Jiangxia branch had one such ten-star special Origin card—their treasure.
[The Nameless Preacher]
This card had zero combat power. In fact, it only had one skill:
Creating a unique field that boosted cultivation speed by 10% for anyone below the ninth rank.
Most people on the sixteenth floor were here for this card.
The literal definition of "pay-to-win tutoring."
Of course, while others might consider this 10% boost priceless, to Su Qi, it was whatever.
He wasn’t interested.
He was only here because the Association’s card vault was also on the sixteenth floor.
Blind-draw a card.
Grab it and leave.
Weaving through the crowd, Su Qi stopped before a metallic platform.
Before him hovered an inverted metallic structure—like an upside-down pyramid.
It stood about ten meters wide and tall, its massive size necessitating its placement on the top floor.
But this also meant the high ceiling allowed for multiple smaller platforms, accommodating more cultivators.
Su Qi extended his right hand, holding it a palm’s width away from the floating metal, then closed his eyes to focus.
With just the slightest brush of his mental energy, he sensed a surge of power.
Most people would meticulously analyze the card’s type or energy fluctuations through spiritual perception, carefully selecting their prize.
There was even a somewhat mystical "gacha guide" circulating.
But to Su Qi, it made no difference.
None of these could compare to what he could make himself. He’d just sell whatever he got anyway.
500K? Small profit. 100K? Still no loss.
Before him, tiny golden specks of light began gathering.
...
Yet, on the other side of the pyramid—
A flash of astonishment crossed Yun Huang’s icy gaze.
What kind of technique was this?
The card she had nearly finished materializing had been snatched away in an utterly domineering, unreasonable manner. Even the golden light had dissipated, severing all connection to her.
This could only mean one thing.
On the opposite side—
There was an expert.
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
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)
