My name is Chen Jinyin. In my previous life, I was a sales manager worked to the bone. In this life, I transmigrated to another world and became a “bartender” with clumsy hands. While other people mix cocktails, I specialize in “regret remedies” and “forgetfulness potions,” occasionally throwing in a free glass of “dark humor.”
And so I became an infamous “Dao Thief,” all because the Heavenly Dao here runs like the rules of sales:
· Help someone pass on to the next life, earn a performance bonus, and you can “inherit” their supernatural abilities.
· Make friends far and wide, earn customer rewards, and you can “borrow” their skills.
“The sea of suffering is boundless, but turn back…and it still isn’t the shore!” I straightened my collar in front of my dying fellow cultivator, then gently added, “I’ll mercifully accept your Dao Heart!”
Who says I’m saving all living beings?
No…I’m just a polite bandit, elegantly working a side gig!
My main business is collecting corpses; my side business is helping the dead pass on. I serve the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, as well as any “historical corpses” that refuse to leave the stage.
(A friendly reminder: readers looking for mindless power-trip fun should proceed with caution, lest they get caught in a vortex of logic.)
Cocktail recipes:
1. Dark Humor: Combat power +30%, accuracy -50%;
“Make him want to kill you while he can’t help thinking it’s hilarious. What could be more maddening than that?”
2. Regret Remedy: Rewind the target’s most recently used skill;
“There’s no such thing as a regret remedy? Sorry, I just invented one.”
3. Forgetfulness Potion: Want to know how it tastes? Read on and savor every word;
“This is the most powerful and most dangerous drink I can mix. It can give you the greatest power imaginable, at the cost of no longer being yourself. Dear customer…would you still like to order this glass of ‘Forgetfulness Potion’?”
