Bai Jian is a little white fox who has only just taken human form. He hasn't even gotten the fur on his tail smoothed out yet.
After cultivating in seclusion for hundreds of years, the first thing he gets when he comes out is a lightning strike that leaves him scorched inside and out.
When he wakes, he's buried himself in his fluffy tail, and a transparent orb is floating in front of him.
[Host, I saved you. But you owe me points. If you don't pay them back... you'll get struck by lightning again.]
Bai Jian pokes the orb. “So what's the mission?”
[Transmigrate through different worlds and collect “emotional value” from key characters. Love, hate, joy, and sorrow can all be exchanged for your cultivation and my points.]
Bai Jian looks at his fluffy tail and gets it: all he has to do is hang around his targets to get stronger?
He's in!
In the beast world, he rescues the tiger clan's chief and is revered as a divine envoy. The tiger king submits to him, and the white foxes, snake clan, and egrets all become his followers.
In the entertainment industry, he sings quietly, yet brings a reclusive merfolk producer out of hiding after many years, solely because the producer sees him as his one and only muse.
In a full-dive game, he's an NPC who has just quietly awakened, yet he haunts the dreams of the player ranked first on the wealth leaderboard, who spends lavishly for even a single piece of data.
Bai Jian has always been unhurried: he passes through each world and moves on, leaving no trace behind.
After all, what harm could a little fox possibly have in mind?
He just wants to travel quietly through all these worlds and pick up a little cultivation along the way.
