A Bowl from the Start, and Every Piece of Gear Comes from a Scam

Meng Chunqiu is a renowned weapon forger, alchemist, spirit tamer, treasure hunter, and grandmaster, and he's a little proud of it...

What? You say it's impossible for one person to be that amazing?

Right, it is impossible, because Meng Chunqiu is a con artist.

"Tathagata, I heard your disciple came out of the closet. What? Coming out of the closet means... liking someone who's not quite ordinary..."

"Wukong, listen. Your master was talking in his sleep last night. He was dreaming of the Queen of the Women's Kingdom. Really, I'm not lying!"

The more he scams, the stronger he gets. Meng Chunqiu, a mere mortal, takes on the gods.

He scams the gods above and the common people below.

As a professional con artist, Meng Chunqiu's dream is to swindle everyone in the world!
