Big shots have their concerns, and nobodies have their own troubles just the same.
Outside Sixiang City.
Liu Bo's strategy was different. He hid here and there along the way, trying to delay his encounter with anomalies as much as possible.
Just as he finally found a spacious little cave and prepared to lay low for a few more hours.
A voice rang out from the uneven ground of the cave, Hey, you stepped on me.
Liu Bo jumped three feet high in the air.
Who? Who is talking?
It is me. No need to be so loud, I can hear you. A human face emerged on the ground.
Are you an anomaly?
According to human classification, I suppose I am.
Are you a rock monster?
How rude. I am clearly a zombie. It is just that I am a bit laid-back and do not really like moving around. I have been lying here for so long that I have gathered a bit too much dust on my body, that is all.
Liu Bo's face looked awful.
Just how long have you been lying here? This is not just a bit of dust, you are practically buried! Give it another two years and you will probably turn directly into a fossil.
Then please continue lying here. I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell.
Liu Bo ran toward the outside of the cave.
Come back.
At the zombie's call, Liu Bo's legs immediately obeyed, carrying him back in front of the zombie.
Bro, no, Uncle, I beg you to spare my life, please? The moment I first laid eyes on you, it was as if I saw my late great-grandfather. It felt incredibly endearing. Thinking of my great-grandpa, back when I was only three years old...
Stop.
Liu Bo's mouth was instantly sealed.
This is the first time I have met a human who talks more than I do. I will not make things difficult for you. Let us chat about life, explore the meaning of existence and the truth of the world, and then I will let you go.
Release.
Liu Bo could speak again.
Great-grandpa, how would you like to explore these topics?
Let us casually start with the first topic: Who am I?
Ha, speaking of this, I am wide awake now! Let me tell you, Great-grandpa, to figure out this question, we have to start from the three perspectives of the ego, the id, and the superego. Let us first...
The zombie only started the conversation, and after that, Liu Bo's lips never stopped moving.
Two hours later.
Alright, alright, stop!
Liu Bo's mouth was sealed once again.
Kid, you do not need to be in such a rush. You are overacting a bit. Since you called me Great-grandpa, I do not want to see you die either. How about this: let go of your worldly attachments and join the eternal tranquility. What do you say?
Mmph, mmph. Liu Bo pointed at his mouth to gesture.
Release.
Great-grandpa, what is the eternal tranquility?
In layman's terms, it means lying here with me and chatting every day.
Liu Bo shook his head vigorously.
Forget it. At your age, you probably do not appreciate the beauty of tranquility. How about this: you find a substitute to stay here in your place. How does that sound?
A substitute? Are there any requirements?
Of course, it must be someone of a similar age and physique to you.
Great-grandpa, are you telling me to find a classmate to be my scapegoat?!
Yourself, or your classmate, you choose. Or perhaps you would rather leave the choice to your classmate?
Even though he was no longer muted, Liu Bo fell silent.
On the top of a small hill.
Class Monitor Yue Junyang stepped onto the highest point.
Reaching the summit, I am the peak. Haha... Whoa!
Yue Junyang did not look cool for more than three seconds before he was so scared that he fell flat on his butt.
It was a crab larger than a human.
He had no doubt that those two massive pincers could easily snap him in two.
Your brief phrase just now was quite imposing. Daring to come alone to the most conspicuous place, you have good courage.
Yue Junyang climbed up from the ground and adjusted his hair and clothes.
Of course. I am the top student of our year.
Boy, I am the Gift-giving Crab. Do you dare accept my trial?
Bring... bring it on. Who is afraid of who?
Good. The content of my trial is very simple. Within three weeks, you need to receive over 100 sincere gifts of gratitude.
Three weeks? What about today?
Today, in your human terms, you can successfully rank up.
You mean you are giving me the trial's prize in advance?
Yes, but do not celebrate too early. The penalty for failure is very heavy.
What penalty?
First, when others give you gifts, you cannot refuse them. Even if you reject them, it still counts as one gift.
If you do not receive a single sincere gift, you die.
If you receive more than one but less than 100, you will be fine, but the people who sincerely gave you gifts will die.
Huh? Alright, it is a deal. Yue Junyang was overjoyed.
With this trial, it would be hard to die even if he wanted to.
Shi Lei, Mian Ruyan, Yi Shuangzi...
One by one, the students participating in the graduation exam met their own unique examiners.
Finally, for this batch of prospective graduates, the longest [Day Without Tomorrow] had ended.
A new week, 0:00.
The Eternal Moon reappeared.
The fog dispersed, and the crowd slowly hurried back toward the city gates.
A group of instructors stood at the city gate with complex expressions, waiting for the students from their classes.
By convention, they would stand here for a full 12 hours.
In reality, after three hours, the chances of anyone returning were very slim. The remaining nine hours were merely spent praying for a miracle.
And every year, the ones who stood waiting here even longer than these instructors were the families of many students.
A small hill outside the city.
The Eternal Moon had come out, and Chen Miemie was once again omnipotent.
Good things come in pairs. The Painter lasted until midnight, so Chen Miemie happily acquired a massive fortune of 3,000 years.
The Painter naturally could not be kept alive. After all, he knew too much.
Because of his 3,000 years, Chen Miemie was decent enough to pick a spot with nice scenery and bury him properly.
Having dealt with this, Chen Miemie's body turned into specks of light, and he turned toward Stitch Nurse with utmost majesty.
Now then, Loop, allow me to formally introduce myself.
My name is Chen Miemie, the leader of [Eternal as the Moon], Huangyi.
On behalf of the Eternal Moon, I extend an invitation to you. Are you willing to join my command and forge this brand new era together?
In this wilderness far from the city.
The Eternal Moon sprinkled down billions of rays of moonlight, seeming to lay down flights of stairs leading to the moon behind Chen Miemie.
The Eternal Moon flowed in Chen Miemie's eyes, his divine might like an inescapable prison.
Loop was completely mesmerized for a moment.
I... I am willing.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
