Chen Mo woke up one day and nearly lost his mind!
Aunties were flying around on swords to buy groceries, and stalls at the market were selling thousand-year-old ginseng! Billionaires were everywhere, tossing spirit stones around like pocket change. Golden fingers had exploded across the globe, and everyone was an overpowered cheat user!
And me? I was the only one left out, all because I picked up an employee badge near a wormhole!
To make matters worse, a debt collection call from my Earth credit card came through!
“Ding! Your account ending in XXXX has an outstanding balance of exactly 2,000 yuan!”
In an instant, the whole world fell silent! A financial tycoon dropped to his knees: “Debt?! The legendary lost divine art of the Ancient Deficit! Master, please teach a class! Tuition starts at a hundred million!”
An auntie who was a sword immortal and a regular at the park’s group dance stared at the expired spicy strips in my pocket, eyes shining. “Dragon Whisker Root of the Red Sun paired with Netherworld Pepper Essence! Young friend, I’ll trade you a thousand-year flying sword for just one!”
When I went to the pharmacy for a cold, the old immortal doctor took my pulse and burst into tears. “A once-in-a-thousand-years case of ‘Nine-Orifice Blockage with Wind Evil Invading the Marrow’! Quick! Bring out the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill!” (Me: ??? I just have a runny nose!)
At an antiques stall, I picked up a glowing plastic Pixiu made in Yiwu. The living fossil of an appraisal expert fell to his knees and cried out, “A primordial treasure! The Heaven-Swallowing Pixiu! Returning to simplicity! Please accept this junior’s bow!”
And so, everything went completely off the rails
I munched on a cold steamed bun and people called it the “Great Dao Foundation-Building Pill”!
I sneezed, and the recording was posted online as “Heavenly Dao Resonance,” for everyone to study!
I casually complained about high prices, and a financial tsunami broke out because of me!
I broke a bowl, and the shards were auctioned off as “Enlightenment Artifacts”!
Looking at the immortals and tycoons kneeling all around me, I quietly pulled out a spicy strip.
“Um... I can take the seat of the Grandmaster, but could I pay the tuition in installments?”
