I Can Attack from a Distance, So Why Would I Fight Up Close?

(No female lead, no formulaic tropes, not invincible, no System, not a wish-fulfillment story, slow-paced. Read at your own risk if you mind these things.)

(The blurb doesn't do it justice. Please read the novel itself.)

I've spent my whole life walking on thin ice. Can I make it to the other side?

Zu Chengbi had just killed Chen Qi. Looking at Chen Bihuo before him, he feigned confusion and asked, “Brother Xia, why aren't you running?”

Hearing this, Chen Bihuo twisted his mouth into a sneer and said, “If you're going to kill me, then do it. Eighteen years from now, I'll be a hero all over again.”

Zu Chengbi looked disdainfully at Chen Bihuo's violently trembling legs!

“Brother Bihuo, the rewards for this mission are substantial. Want to join me?”

Chen Bihuo gave him a sidelong glance and replied coolly, “Missions are like fleeting clouds to me. I'll just sit here in meditation until I reach the heavens.”

Then he turned around and copied a pile of resources, causing his cultivation to rise by leaps and bounds.

“Why? Why! Could sitting in meditation really be the ultimate secret to cultivation?”

Watching Chen Bihuo's cultivation soar, a diligent man who risked his life day after day to gather resources and speed up his own cultivation finally broke down!
