Urban Tales of a Strange Hero: I'm Your Dad

When "So freaking awesome" can summon heavenly lightning, and "giving up" becomes the ultimate defense technique, who even remembers that he's just a college student with a thesis to write? An ancient prophecy circulates beneath the streets of Modu: the only one who can change the world is a well-rounded warrior who can cultivate while playing battle royale and casually publish an SCI paper. Lu Fan of Tsinghua Sword Sect was just an ordinary wage slave, until one day he bound himself to a hot-meme exchange System connected to myriad worlds, and the gears of fate began turning absurdly.

Trouble follows him everywhere. Cultivation, exams, monster invasions, dormitory raids... Lu Fan is run ragged between campus and otherworlds. One "Thanks, Q" can silence an enemy for only three seconds, and it can't stop the black-market alliance from hunting him down. Then came an unexpected turning point: during a livestream of a paranormal event, he blurted out "Absolutely iconic," accidentally activating the System and sending his attack power soaring. He even killed a demon king and made a name for himself. But the cost soon emerged: his cultivation was reduced, and while the ability was on cooldown, he was defenseless. With no choice, he had to venture deep into the demon market's night bazaar and risk his life collecting hot memes just to survive.

Spiritual energy surges atop skyscrapers, ghosts roam subway stations, an AI assistant takes a lightning tribulation in someone's place, and romance can even grant experience through dual cultivation.
