After Lilith retreated back into the jade pendant, Ye Chuan lazily stretched out on the bed.
Someone else’s bed sure was comfortable to sleep in.
And he didn’t even have to clean it up.
As usual, he waited until midnight for the refresh, but Ye Chuan noticed he was still in a resurrecting state—the Tianxuan Continent in the adventure world remained grayed out.
After all, revival didn’t happen instantly after death. Unlike his Qi Refining days when he could die and revive almost daily, the higher his cultivation grew, the longer the resurrection time became.
"Still not revived yet." Ye Chuan routinely harvested the sunflowers at home, earning coins, items, and points. He loved this mobile game-like feeling—logging in every day to claim rewards.
Next, he duplicated some crystal cores and allocated a few skill points on the tech tree. Since the new batch of crystal cores hadn’t arrived yet, the progress was minimal.
After scanning the points shop and finding only meager rewards, he returned to the adventure world interface.
The Tianxuan Continent was off-limits for now.
But the buttons for other worlds weren’t grayed out.
Meaning Ye Chuan could choose to enter another world.
"If I can pick another world…"
"Let’s see… Besides [Tianxuan Continent], there’s Lilith’s [Aiser Continent] and Ke Ning’s [New Era]."
As for Lan Xiaoke’s supernatural world, it was randomly refreshed in the shop, and Ye Chuan only occasionally stumbled upon a one-time entry key.
"Well, if Tianxuan’s unavailable, I’ll head to Aiser Continent then." Having made up his mind, Ye Chuan selected Aiser Continent without hesitation.
"Aiser Continent, launch—"
[Landing Point: Aiser Continent]
[You appear in a town within the northeastern territory of the Hill Empire on Aiser Continent]
[The Western fantasy-style architecture around you feels entirely different from Tianxuan Continent. The moon hangs high in the sky, yet for some reason, the energy flowing in the air still feels like spiritual power…]
["Spiritual power? So-called ‘magic’ is just a rebranded name for it, huh?"]
[This mysterious force is called "spiritual power" in Tianxuan Continent and "magic" in Aiser Continent.]
["But why would two different worlds share the same energy?" You find this puzzling.]
[Curious about your surroundings, you decide to…]
[1. Leave the town]
[2. Head to a crowded area]
…
Ye Chuan didn’t use full-dive adventure mode, opting for text-based gameplay instead—simply because he was tired and didn’t feel like diving into a new world headfirst. Text adventure was the most comfortable way to experience it.
Though it lacked fine control, it saved effort, especially since it didn’t consume an entire day.
It made Ye Chuan feel like he was clocking in for work.
"Let’s go where the people are. Can’t have a repeat of Tianxuan’s ‘instant death’ opening, right?" Ye Chuan chose the crowded option without hesitation.
Magic immunity + supernatural immunity + infinite mana + army of clones!
You think you can one-shot me?!
[You choose to head to a busy area. Your furtive glances catch the attention of a passing man, who grins and whispers to you.]
[Man: "Hey buddy, you here for the Big Melons Succubus Parlor, aren’t ya?"]
[You look confused: Succubus?]
[Your choices…]
[1. Elaborate on ‘Big Melons Succubus’]
[2. Ignore him]
[3. Snap back (triggers combat)]
Succubus?
Fitting for a magic continent, but Ye Chuan figured a random guy approaching him couldn’t be trustworthy—and the so-called "succubus parlor" was probably shady too!
Still, to gather intel on this world…
He had no choice but to investigate the succubi thoroughly.
["Succubi? Sounds interesting." You show curiosity, and the man points in a direction.]
["Right over there." He gives you a knowing look before walking off.]
[Following his directions, you enter an alley filled with a faint, perfumed scent.]
[You spot an entrance where partially clad figures linger—small black wings, swaying slender tails.]
An illustration pops up: a monochrome succubus, half-covered yet undeniably cute.
["So these are succubi?" Your muttering draws their attention.]
["Right this way, guest~" A petite succubus skips over, looping her arm around yours. "Special deal today~ Ten silver coins for a full package~"]
[Your choices…]
[1. Enter (grayed out)]
[2. Admit you’re broke]
[3. Freeload]
"Those ‘melons’ aren’t even that big." Ye Chuan eyed the illustration. Pretty, sure, but silver coins…
Probably this world’s currency, right?
Likely copper, silver, and gold coins.
"Hmm…"
But Ye Chuan had no money—neither real-world cash nor spirit stones worked here.
Freeload?
[You confess your lack of funds. The succubus looks shocked: "No money? Then no entry, guest~"]
[She suddenly giggles, nuzzling you playfully. "Come back when you’re loaded~"]
[Kicked back to the streets, you decide to…]
[1. Return and freeload]
[2. Find a way to earn money]
[3. Leave town]
"Gotta make some cash." Sitting on the bed, Ye Chuan pondered the options.
That succubus was kinda cute, though.
"Wait." It hit him—why was he obsessing over succubi?
"No, what’s wrong with that? Places like these are perfect for intel-gathering!"
What’s life for?
Enjoyment.
"Aiser’s more fun than Tianxuan, where I used to die daily." Sighing, Ye Chuan focused on the choices. Either way, money first.
[You seek ways to earn cash and ask around.]
["If you’re strong, try the Adventurer’s Guild for quests," suggests a little girl.]
["Soft and fresh, hehehe… Never touched a succubus? Quit while you’re ahead. Money? What money?" A drugged-up man cackles.]
["Sell fish with me! Twenty silvers a month!" offers a fishmonger.]
["Money? Just ask Father! He showers me in gold!" scoffs a haughty noblewoman.]
[Your choices…]
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
