I Spam Messages to Trick Players into Spending, and Become a Cultivation Sect Master

In 2035, a solar flare tears the ozone layer apart!

Plants and animals mutate wildly into monsters, all human technology fails, and people are left to fight zombie-level wild rabbits with cold weapons?!

High school senior Lin Mo is guessing his way through an English cloze test when a mechanical voice suddenly rings in his mind:

[Apocalypse Mobile Game System successfully bound! Main quest: Create a cultivation mobile game and recruit 10 players within 48 hours!]

[Reward: Golden Core cultivation + Foundation Establishment Elixir!]

Can't afford to rent a server?

The System helps him mass-message the entire world with a scam: “I am the leader of the Thousand Illusions Sect. Donate 1 million and get a Qi Refining Pill; donate 100 million and you can go straight to Foundation Establishment!”

The wasteland erupts. Some call him a lunatic, while others come looking to “inspect the goods” with machine guns. But then they watch him use exam stationery to kill monsters and are left dumbfounded.

Can this kid really cultivate immortality?!

He brings a mysterious girl on as a partner and uses tower-defense mechanics from the game to build defensive towers in the real world.

Kill monsters to gather spiritual energy and level up; alchemy, artifact forging, and talisman drawing are all unlocked. Even their real-world bodies grow stronger!

When the first player breaks through to Qi Refining in the game and crushes a steel plate with his bare hands, the wasteland tycoons go wild:

“Money is no object! Give me ten Foundation Establishment Pills!”

But just as Lin Mo finally scrapes together enough for a server, a thousand monsters surround the orphanage!

Looking at the Golden Core cultivation the System has just rewarded him with, Lin Mo grips a sword forged from spiritual energy and sneers:

“You think the apocalypse is a dead end? My cultivation empire is only just getting started!”
