If you love this book, feel free to check out another book by the author! I felt I hadn't written this one well, so I started a new one. The new book is even better than the old one. Thank you!
[Synopsis]
Yun Shu is a famous good-for-nothing in the cultivation world. Her five-element spiritual root has stayed rock-steady for five years without the slightest improvement, earning her the sect's “Best Air Purifier Award”: she takes in as much spiritual energy as she leaks, naturally and without pollution.
With her cultivation path leading straight to the sect's pig farm, a thing calling itself the “Comeback System” showed up at her door. “Hey, want to turn your life around? Send me 50 points and see what you can do!”
Yun Shu: “Do I look like I have 50 points? Why don't you just take me instead?”
System: “...Forced mission: gather medicinal herbs. Reward: Marrow-Cleansing Pill (effects unverified). Punishment: get struck by lightning and suffer three days of bad luck.”
Yun Shu: “???”
From then on, the cultivation world gained a bizarre force of nature.
Others relied on their strength. She relied on “drawing talismans in thin air” (to save money) and “knocking people out with pinpoint accuracy” (to save effort), while somehow conning the System into becoming the director of a poverty relief office.
It wasn't until she discovered that this lousy System was actually a tool used by “interstellar spiritual-energy thieves” that she realized her leaky five-element spiritual root made her the perfect accomplice!
Yun Shu looked at the Sword Dao prodigy, the alchemy master, and all the other companions she'd conned into joining her, along with the amnesiac System she'd fleeced until it was bald, and smiled kindly:
“Friends, it's time to team up and go next door to ‘demand an explanation’ from that other planet. We might as well rob them while we're at it!”
