I’m a 31st-Century Military Rogue, and the Cultivation World Works for Me

Wildly imaginative xuanhuan + comedy + technology golden finger + scheming mastermind + sly operator + money-making + another world.

Righteous Sect Master: “Su Ming's strategic vision is the finest I've ever seen. He's practically a blessing to the cultivation world, though his cut of the profits is a little low.”

Demonic Sect Master: “Before I met Su Ming, it never occurred to me that I'd have to call the authorities to protect myself.”

Sect Disciples: “He saddled every one of us with predatory loans. I've been out of school for thirty years, and I still haven't paid off my student debt.”

Independent Cultivators: “Su Ming is such a great guy. Look at all the jobs he's created! If I work hard for twenty years, I can pay off the flying sword I bought for delivering takeout.”

Spirit Beast: “I guard the door of his shop. I get room and board, and he even pays into spirit-beast social security. I still don't understand what that is, but he says I can collect a pension once I take human form.”

Demonic Cultivator: “I went there to rob him, but he said it was a waste not to put ‘mobile labor’ like me to work, and asked if I wanted to do fieldwork. Now I get a fixed monthly salary in spirit stones, plus a meal.”

Female Cultivator: “Before Su Ming showed up, the cultivation world's sense of style was absolutely appalling. The funeral-themed Shamate outfits he invented are gorgeous. Wherever you go in them, you automatically become the center of attention.”

In the 31st-century interstellar mercenary scene, Su Ming is an oddball.

While everyone else risks their lives on missions, he opens a matchmaking agency inside the mercenary corps, specializing in finding love for bandits and cutthroats.

After an accident transmigrates him to the world of cultivation, his weapons arsenal and sharp-tongued AI assistant come along for the ride.

While everyone else cultivates and seeks enlightenment, fighting over opportunities and spiritual treasures,

Su Ming uses technological superiority to exploit the cultivation world's information gap and rake in spirit stones.
