Su Chen transmigrates and gets bound to a cultivation System that is “useless for anything productive.”
System: “Host, be advised: an unparalleled beauty up ahead needs help. Turn around and leave immediately to obtain Shrinking the Earth to an Inch!”
Su Chen (turning and running): “What’s a beauty compared to a divine ability?”
Beauty (eyes brimming with tears, inner monologue): “He saw through my disguise and knew I was here to test him! This man’s depths are unfathomable!”
System: “Host, be advised: a tremendous opportunity lies ahead, and your sworn enemy Gu Changan is competing for it too. Give it up immediately and find somewhere to take a nap. You’ll receive one ancient divine beast egg!”
Su Chen (finding a pile of hay and falling fast asleep): “What’s an opportunity compared to sleep? Who cares about Gu Changan?”
Gu Changan, who fought for his life to seize the opportunity (seeing Su Chen and the divine beast egg, his Dao heart shattered): “H-He actually thinks such an opportunity is beneath him, and the divine beast willingly acknowledges him as its master! I understand now. The true opportunity is ‘not fighting for anything’! Su Chen, you really are my lifelong enemy (and role model)!”
Years later, now invincible, Su Chen looks at the ever-growing pile of rare treasures in his storage ring and his rapidly rising cultivation, wearing an innocent expression. “I really was just trying to follow the System and lie flat in peace. Can you all, especially Gu Changan, stop imagining things about me?!”
