Jiang He, an archaeology student at Yanda University, attends classes by day and livestreams paranormal investigations at night.
The city is crawling with ghosts. Evil spirits run rampant in subway stations, office buildings, and old residential neighborhoods.
He’s bound to a mysterious System and takes on jobs from the underworld, suppressing evil and laying resentful spirits to rest.
An unexpected golden finger lets him earn higher scores for more outrageous missions.
He mouths off at ghosts and exorcises them by force, only to be rated “full marks for creativity.”
While everyone else is too scared to go near ghosts, he gains millions of followers by radiating ghostly energy.
The whole internet laughs, calling him a special-effects fanatic, never realizing that everything in the comments is real.
The police department’s paranormal division is at its wit’s end over the trouble he causes, while the underworld judge hates him for constantly sabotaging his plans.
His livestream merit points skyrocket, his cultivation improves by leaps and bounds, and he quietly levels up into a max-level cultivator.
From the bottom of a campus lake to the underworld bazaar, wherever he goes, he’s trending.
The Ghost King takes a detour to avoid him, and even the System complains that he’s too good at courting death.
In this world, people believe in science and the supernatural, in traffic and in their fists.
He doesn’t bother maintaining an image. He just follows the rules: if a ghost acts up, one punch sends it on its way.
One day, he’ll turn the underworld black market upside down and rewrite the laws governing yin and yang.
