(March 12th, feeling a bit frustrated. Just when this book was about to take off with over 10,000 readers before its debut, it got reported again and thrown into the "penalty box." If you click on the author’s profile, you’ll see there are no works listed anymore.)
(Good news: it can still come back, but the timing is uncertain.)
(Bad news: since hitting 100,000 words triggers the debut, I can only update 1,000 words a day to stall until it’s out of the penalty box. I need to make sure the debut doesn’t happen while it’s still locked up. You can hold off for a couple of days—it should be out by Friday.)
(Good news: apart from today, which requires heavy editing, any missing words from tomorrow onward will be made up later. The author isn’t slacking.)
Generally speaking, nights in the Origin Realm aren’t safe either. The creatures there don’t observe any "ceasefire."
If anything, the cover of darkness makes ambushes even easier.
That’s why someone always needs to keep watch.
Don’t be fooled by those movie scenes where a master wakes up mid-attack, dodges effortlessly, and looks cool doing it.
In reality, no one actually believes that. Your alertness while asleep is nowhere near your waking state—your brain is resting, after all.
Or, to put it bluntly, those who did believe it are now six feet under.
So around 9 p.m., Su Qi glanced at Liu Yuan, who was lounging on a hammock playing with her phone.
Without a word, he did a quick flip off the hammock and stepped out of the tent.
The veteran actor—let’s call him "Old Li"—was smoking a cigarette, keeping his distance from the students.
Su Qi walked up behind him and gave a light cough as a greeting.
Hearing the sound, Old Li turned around. Recognizing Su Qi, he smirked, took a drag, and nodded in acknowledgment.
"What should I call you?" Su Qi asked.
Old Li waved a hand. "Kid, you’ve already graduated. No need for ‘teacher.’ Name’s Li Hu. Call me ‘Tiger’ if you want." His voice was rough but carried a hearty tone.
"Got it, Old Li."
Li Hu: ???
Whatever. "Old Li" it is. It’s not like he hasn’t been called that before.
Exhaling smoke, Old Li teased, "Su Qi, still got energy to wander around at this hour? Youth really is something."
Su Qi: ???
What do you mean, "this hour"?
It’s only 9 p.m.
Not sleeping counts as "energetic" now?
"Isn’t this normal?"
"That’s why being young is great. Wait till you’re my age and have to recalibrate your sensitivity—then you’ll know the headache."
What kind of nonsense is that?
Su Qi was momentarily lost. Their conversation wasn’t even on the same wavelength.
He found a rock to sit on and cut straight to the point: "How’s the night watch arranged?"
Old Li paused. Right, Su Qi had way more experience in the Origin Realm than these rookies.
"You’re sharp. But don’t worry, I can handle the night watch."
"No training for the students?"
Old Li didn’t answer immediately, just kept smoking, the ember flickering.
Finally, he blew a smoke ring. "Training, sure. But these kids are too pampered."
"I’m afraid they’ll doze off on watch and never wake up. Better if I stay hidden and keep an eye on them instead."
Su Qi smirked. Just as he thought—this teacher had been lurking in the shadows all along. A real old fox.
Su Qi gave Old Li a pat on the shoulder and said, "Keep up the good work, Old Li. If you deliver results, I’ll make sure the higher-ups give you a raise."
Old Li: ???
Wait, since when did Su Qi talk like some kind of boss?
Anyone overhearing this would think a supervisor had come to inspect the work.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
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?"
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
