Water makes him choke, and manhole covers drop out from under him as he walks. Lin Xiaofan’s life is living proof of what it means to have “karma-level” bad luck. Only after he dies of poisoning from half a can of beer licked by a rat does he learn that he survived this long only because eighteen generations of his ancestors working in the Underworld pulled strings for him like mad.
In the Hall of Judgment, the King of Hell slams his gavel. “Lin Xiaofan, your allotted years in the mortal realm have run out. But in recognition of your Lin family’s generations of loyal service, you are hereby granted a return to life and a position in the Underworld’s ‘Special Talent Program for the Mortal Realm’!”
And so Lin Xiaofan’s reborn life becomes a mad dash to hit the Underworld’s KPIs:
helping Ox-Head and Horse-Face capture vengeful spirits, developing new soups for Meng Po, and optimizing the Book of Life and Death System for the Judge...
The rewards are generous: X-ray appraisal, Golden Eyes, Soul-Calming Bells, each one a powerful cheat skill.
But the conditions for using them... are more embarrassing than the last!
Dropping to one knee and shouting, “Onii-chan, come with me!” Farting at an incense burner to change your luck. Training with the monkey reaching for the sea and the electric seaweed dance...
Just as Lin Xiaofan uses his bizarre skills to rise to the top and become a god in the mortal realm, he discovers that the Underworld “job security” hides a shocking conspiracy spanning both yin and yang...
Watch the unluckiest examinee in history “test” his way to an invincible life within the Underworld’s bureaucracy!
Very interesting book
