Office drone Lin Chen binds himself to the Myriad Trades Apotheosis System. His only KPI: unlock and master 999 professions. Complete a task for any profession and get max-level skills; fail, and he'll die of embarrassment on the spot!
Thus begins a hellish, laugh-out-loud work life:
In the morning, he's an emergency-room master saving lives with a scalpel. The next second, the System hands him a feng shui compass, turning him into a feng shui expert inspecting a tycoon's home. Then he's off with a magnifying glass, transforming into an appraisal guru who can spot a fake at a glance and amaze the crowd.
At night, he's a top-tier star whose voice stuns the music world. The moment he leaves the stage, he changes into combat gear and becomes a mercenary, taking down an overseas hideout. By the early hours, he's tying on an apron and stepping in as a Michelin-starred chef to help out at a late-night food stall.
Even more absurdly, he also has to moonlight as an intangible cultural heritage porcelain mender, an esports strategy coach, a pet funeral director, a deep-sea salvage operator, and even a face reader and a street candy sculptor. No folk profession is off-limits!
Other people specialize in one profession; Lin Chen gets them wholesale. Others work to make a living. He works or dies of embarrassment, grumbling as he goes: “System, have you lost your mind? I just finished sculpting candy, and now you want me to fly a plane?”
He saves patients in the ER and is revered like a god. He makes a mistake appraising an antique and leaves the experts speechless. His singing takes the internet by storm and makes him a top-tier star. He even sculpts candy so well that he becomes an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage!
Baffled passerby: “Just how many identities does this big shot have?”
Fellow professionals, bowing in admiration: “Stop raising the bar! You've single-handedly taken every industry to its highest level!”
Lin Chen spreads his hands. “Can't help it. The System is making me do this. There are 999 professions, and I'm still 800 short. Who'll cover my shift?”
This is the story of an unwilling, all-professions path to apotheosis, from office drone to the pinnacle of every trade across the three realms. The thrills come thick and fast, and the laughs never stop. Watch Lin Chen make all 999 professions his own!
