"Oh? A cultivation livestream?"
Jiang Che finally noticed Lin Fan!
After all, this guy was ridiculously popular. After using the 'Super Livestream' feature, his channel appeared on every major platform across the internet.
Even on certain adult sites and fruit-themed chat rooms, his presence was unavoidable.
[Feeling empty? Full of regret? Does the world seem dull? Follow Brother Fan and start cultivating!]
"Heh, another Chosen One, huh?"
[Ding! Detected Chosen One ‘Lin Fan’]
[This is a Preacher, bound to a Preacher System. As long as others practice his techniques, the host gains Preacher Points and strength boosts... But who’s to say he isn’t just another pawn in a larger scheme?]
Oh ho?
Jiang Che’s interest was piqued!
From the system’s description, this Chosen One seemed different from the usual type—he grew stronger simply by spreading his teachings.
At first glance, it sounded overpowered. Combined with the spiritual energy resurgence... showing off in front of mortals might even let him ascend as an immortal ancestor!
But the system’s last line was the most intriguing.
Was Lin Fan, this Chosen One... also just another preacher in a chain?
The problem had to lie in his techniques—or his system.
In short, Lin Fan was most likely a puppet, with a mastermind pulling the strings behind him.
Just like how Jiang Che manipulated Chen Hao, Zhou Fan, and others using sub-systems.
"Lin Fan’s system and his preaching techniques must both be flawed."
Jiang Che stroked his chin, frowning slightly.
There was definitely someone behind this—someone like him, capable of manipulating systems!
Though confident in his own strength, Jiang Che wasn’t arrogant enough to believe he was invincible.
After all, the Association of the Chosen was a formidable force across the Nine Heavens, filled with all kinds of destiny-blessed individuals. Especially within the Celestial Pavilion... there were bound to be high-tier entities for whom controlling systems was child’s play.
"Heh, a Preacher System? Let’s see what kind of garbage techniques you’re peddling!"
Jiang Che let out a sinister chuckle before entering Lin Fan’s cultivation livestream.
"My technique is simple. Just follow my instructions... Sink your qi into the dantian, guide spiritual energy into the Purple Mansion... and the technique will cycle automatically."
In the livestream, Lin Fan was diligently teaching his viewers how to cultivate.
The viewer count was massive—after all, people had realized... this guy actually had something to offer.
"Heh, simple and straightforward. A preaching-type Chosen One like this will probably start showing off once his strength grows..."
Jiang Che watched Lin Fan on screen, his lips curling into a smirk. With his 'Divine-Grade Special Effects' skill, he could not only intimidate others but also mess with them in amusing ways.
...
"Found the catch!"
After practicing the technique from Lin Fan’s livestream for a while, Jiang Che discovered a major flaw.
This so-called "Preaching Scripture" was anything but normal!
Practitioners underwent a strange mutation, as if being parasitized—some of their spiritual energy was inexplicably siphoned away.
Jiang Che stopped immediately, narrowing his eyes.
"Interesting. I’d love to see who’s hiding behind this."
He rubbed his hands together, curiosity gleaming in his gaze.
Of course, he didn’t use the 'Book of Mathematical Principles' to investigate. There was no point—at this stage, the book wouldn’t reveal anything about such an entity.
"But I won’t let you show off so easily!"
Jiang Che licked his lips, preparing for a long-distance battle of wits with the unknown mastermind behind Lin Fan.
"Let’s see if the system has any similar techniques."
He dove into the system store, searching intently.
Soon, he found a decent alternative.
[Blissful Zen Technique: A dual cultivation method requiring both partners to master it. Moderate spiritual energy conversion efficiency...]
Heh heh heh—
Lin Fan, your technique only requires chanting to practice, right?
Well, mine may be more complicated, but it’s way more efficient—and appeals to a broader audience!
An 18+ technique is no joke.
While modern society might not be ready for universal dual cultivation, universal dual practice sounds fun, doesn’t it? Who’s in favor? Who objects?
What? No partner? Better start looking—time’s running out!
"With this move... I might single-handedly boost the nation’s birth rate."
Jiang Che scratched his nose sheepishly.
"Ahem, never mind. Unleashing humanity’s desires like this... most people can’t handle it. Better keep it for myself!"
Of course, he wouldn’t actually release it. If the entire population drowned in the pleasures of yin-yang harmony, the consequences would be terrifying!
Not everyone had the self-control of Young Master Jiang, after all.
"Maybe I’ll toss this Blissful Zen Technique to the Sakura Nation for testing later. Nerf the efficiency... reduce the absorption rate to 1%..."
Jiang Che’s scheming side was downright inhuman!
"This technique isn’t bad either."
[Sovereign Scripture: No cultivation prerequisites. Just recite it once, and spiritual energy automatically circulates within the body. Comes in 'Parent Scripture' and 'Child Scripture' versions. Host practices the Parent Scripture while spreading the Child Scripture widely—every practitioner nets you a tiny cut.]
[Price: 10 million points.]
A gem, but outrageously expensive!
Still, he bought it.
After all, it was a sustainable resource for milking benefits.
[Ding! Host has spent 10 million points to purchase the Divine-Grade 'Sovereign Scripture'.]
In an instant, an unfathomably profound scripture materialized in Jiang Che’s mind.
[Sovereign Scripture – Parent Version]
"Heh, little Lin Fan... my Sovereign Scripture’s efficiency crushes your crappy 'Preaching Scripture', doesn’t it?"
Jiang Che’s smirk grew wider.
I’ll out-grind you to death!
As for who would do the preaching?
Jiang Che was used to being the shadowy manipulator—he couldn’t be bothered to step into the spotlight.
But he also didn’t want outsiders claiming the title of 'Preacher'.
"Ah~ What a loving elder brother I am."
Jiang Che sighed dramatically.
The ultimate workhorse, Jiang Ruoxu, was back in action!
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"
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)
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!
