I only wanted to lie flat and take it easy, but I was forced to register the mythical beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
When the entire world is engulfed by the rules-based strange tales of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the official Night Watchers are run ragged, newly graduated Lu Chen is worrying over the beautiful neighbor who has come knocking.
“The rules say you can’t open the door for someone outside who has only one shadow.”
“But you… have nine shadows!”
Bearing the [Eye of the Rules], he can see through every loophole.
While everyone else risks death at every turn in the strange tales, he haggles with a nine-tailed fox: “Work for me and you’ll get benefits and social insurance, plus household registration!”
When the Night Watchers’ prodigies mock him at every turn, he turns around and signs a “Day-Night Cycle Outsourcing Contract” with Zhulong.
While the other geniuses are still struggling to survive, his Dust Nine Pavilion is already fully assembled: an internet-addicted Jingwei, a gluttonous Taotie… every one of them a big shot.
But when the truth behind the world’s destruction is revealed, Lu Chen finally realizes that as the “Director of Household Registration,” he is responsible for restoring order to this crumbling world!
