【Your cumulative spending has reached 12 Spirit Stones, granting you Level 2 Membership】
【Current Weekly Membership Benefits: 3 Skin Trial Cards, 3 Double EXP Cards (1-hour duration), 3 Double Gold Cards (1-hour duration), 5 Rune Gift Packs】
【Remaining Spirit Stones to Level 3 Membership: 38】
"Level 2 gives this much? How insane must Level 3 be…"
Zhong Yi had just finished purchasing the 6-Spirit-Stone skins for Yasuo and Master Yi and was about to exit when the membership prompt popped up, making his eyes widen in shock.
38 Spirit Stones? For a core disciple like him, that was practically pocket change!
He glanced again at the remaining selection of high-quality 6-Spirit-Stone skins and felt his fingers itch.
"Senior Brother Zhong, if you want to play support for me, just say so. No need to beat around the bush," Zhou Qiaoling teased from the side.
"???"
Zhou Yue panicked and waved his hands frantically.
"Old Zhong, don’t mess with my mental state. If you want any skins, I’ll gift them to you…"
"See? It’s not that I don’t want to play support—it’s that Old Zhou won’t let me…"
Zhong Yi consoled himself, then eagerly browsed the shop again.
"Whoa! The Infernal Hound skin for Nasus? Sold!"
"Hmm, the Dawnbringer Riven looks pretty sick too…"
……
After buying seven more 6-Spirit-Stone skins, Zhong Yi finally reached Level 3 Membership.
Seeing that Level 4 required another 146 Spirit Stones, he steeled his resolve and prepared to leave the shop.
"Alright, that’s Level 3 secured. From now on, I absolutely won’t—"
【You have received a Premium Skin Discount Coupon (20 Spirit Stones off for purchases over 99 Spirit Stones). Valid for 3 days.】
Zhong Yi: "???"
Lu Ze’s intentions were written all over this!!
Yet, he couldn’t resist clicking back into the shop.
Aside from the 6-Spirit-Stone skins, only three premium skins were available in the first batch.
The Three Kingdoms series—featuring Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Guan Yu, all iconic figures from the classic tale.
Each was priced at a steep 199 Spirit Stones.
In his past life, these skins would’ve been classified as "pseudo-Legendary"—high-quality models and voice lines but lacking special effects.
To capitalize on the cultivators’ nostalgia for the Three Kingdoms, Lu Ze had gone all out, adding dazzling effects to each.
After all, the money-making potential of this IP had long been proven by games like Three Kingdoms Tactics.
"If I buy the Zhao Yun skin now, I save 20 Spirit Stones and also get to Level 4 Membership…"
"The Level 4 rewards are worth about 50 Spirit Stones, so effectively, I’m paying 100 for the Zhao Yun skin…"
"Fine. After this, no more spending. No matter how cool Lu Bu and Guan Yu look, I won’t fall for Lu Ze’s tricks again…"
【You have purchased the skin: Zhao Yun, the Dragon of Changshan】
【Your Membership Level has increased to 4! You’ve received 5 free Treasure Draw Tickets!】
"Five Treasure Draw Tickets?"
Curious, Zhong Yi followed the prompt to the Treasure Draw interface.
In short—another gacha system.
The grand prize was an insanely prestigious skin:
The Three Kingdoms series skin for the Talisman Master—Zhuge Liang, the Sleeping Dragon.
"These five tickets are free anyway. Might as well try my luck."
Zhong Yi swallowed hard as he stared at the skin’s preview.
"No matter what, I’m not spending another Spirit Stone…"
……
……
Whether it was the 6-Spirit-Stone skins, the membership tiers, daily login rewards, or the gacha mechanics—
These were all tactics Lu Ze had seen exploited to death by mobile games in his past life.
But there was no denying it:
This monetization scheme worked like a charm.
Strategically converting free players into low spenders, then grooming them into mid or even heavy spenders…
Even Li Moran, who had never cared for skins, broke her usual habits and bought Irelia’s Frostblade.
As for Zhong Yi? Well, he was beyond redemption.
Whether it was his lack of self-control or his inability to resist temptation…
Zhuge Liang, the most revered strategist of the Three Kingdoms, didn’t exist in League of Legends in Lu Ze’s past life—but here, he had to create him.
With his current abilities, designing an original skin was no challenge.
He simply modeled it after the Talisman Master (Twisted Fate in League), a hero from Immortal Demons’ Clash.
For the effects, Lu Ze went all out—summoning storm clouds, coiling azure dragons, and earth-shaking ultimates that made the battlefield tremble.
……
By the next morning,
Lu Ze’s 6-Spirit-Stone skin strategy had already netted him a staggering million Spirit Stones in revenue.
Moreover, thanks to the Zhuge Liang skin’s prestige, even sect elders were starting to join the game…
……
……
The growth of Immortal Demons’ Clash surpassed Lu Ze’s expectations.
Cultivators took to MOBA gameplay even more enthusiastically than players from his past life.
The most obvious example was role specialization.
Within just half a month, the "jungler" position had been fully established.
In high-level matches, it was now standard for each team to have one.
This was largely thanks to Zhong Yi’s theoretical research—though he himself often died to jungle camps…
Player skill progressed rapidly.
The once-unbeatable "super-AI" bots now seemed far less intimidating.
Zhong Yi even devised a foolproof strategy to cheese the AI, allowing players to win through macro play even if their mechanics were lacking.
……
Meanwhile,
Lu Ze’s workload never let up.
Running an online game was a long-term commitment.
Future updates, new heroes, new skins, and special modes like ARAM or Ultra Rapid Fire—
All required meticulous planning.
But it was worth it.
As expected, Immortal Demons’ Clash generated an enormous influx of Demonic Path Points.
Its player base was simply too vast.
In just half a month, the game’s contributions propelled Lu Ze past the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, straight into late-stage.
"One more step, and I’ll reach the Nascent Soul stage…"
Lu Ze murmured, eyeing the endless zeros on his cultivation progress bar.
At Nascent Soul, the scale of his illusions could expand even further.
The potential player count? Limitless.
Just then, the system’s voice echoed in his mind:
【An alternate dimension has emerged. Countless Righteous Path Cultivators are mobilizing for war, disrupting the balance between righteousness and demonic forces… As the Demonic Path’s Holy Son, you must aid the demonic cultivators of this world and ensure the Righteous Path’s crushing defeat!】
【Mission: Empower demonic cultivators. Slay 100,000 Righteous Path Cultivators within one week (Current: 0/100,000)】
【Reward: 5x Demonic Path Points (Duration: 10 days)】
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!
ver to a world of cultivation and returned invincible. Modern medicine is child's play compared to elixirs; technological might crumbles before true cultivation. My name is Qin Ning, Earth's sole cultivator!
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?"
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
