Slay the Gods: A Fake System and a Bootleg Cheat Skill Ruined My Life

[Second son of the Lin family + legally an adult, looks like a child + one heroine + adored by everyone + soul-bound old man + System + Eight Gods reduced to Seven] [Half sweet, half angst + healing the original story’s regrets + dark political intrigue (a crossover between In the Name of the People and The Knockout)] … The old man is going to teach me an immortal cultivation technique today. I’m so excited. The Seven Chapters of the Profound Lord’s Secret Scripture? Wait, what kind of immortal cultivation is this?! Is this The Strange Tales of Daoist Cultivation?! Forget it.

Cowering miserably in a corner as he watched the little brat who’d been tormenting him, Xiaotian Dog realized that someone really could be more of a dog than an actual dog. … From then on, Lin Zhaojin, this Babar, never looked back from the path of shocking depravity. “Little black mongrel, you’ve been getting pretty cocky lately. Want me to castrate you so you can focus on keeping your mind pure?” “Look what I found: a wild human trafficker. You say he hasn’t made a move yet? What a joke. I’ll just go up and introduce myself!” “Lao Mo (An Qingyu), we’ve worked together in the sewers for years, but for the sake of completing my merit, you won’t mind if I turn you over to the authorities, will you?” “What, you say I’m the mastermind and you’re just an accomplice? Heh heh heh… To be honest, I’m actually an informant for the provincial department. Gao Qiqiang of Jinghai is my direct superior!”
