My name is Lin Mo. I'm a night-shift security guard at Sunshine Garden, earning 3,500 yuan a month and living in a basement.
That was until Ghost Festival night, when I came across a swollen, ghastly pale face in the parking lot.
The birthmark on my left hand suddenly grew scorching hot, and a cold, mechanical voice rang in my mind:
“Host meets binding conditions. The ‘Maoshan Orthodox Revival System’ is starting...”
From then on, my world changed completely.
Wandering ghosts drifted through the corridors, vengeful spirits possessed pets, evil spirits occupied old buildings, and ghost generals commanded hordes of ghosts.
And I became the last successor of Maoshan.
[Quantified cultivation, maximum thrills]
Spiritual energy: starts at 30 points, recovers 5 points per hour
Merit System: laying wandering ghosts to rest +8, defeating vengeful spirits +30, suppressing evil spirits +200
Exchange shop: evil-repelling talismans, baleful-energy-breaking copper coins, Five Emperor coins sword, palm-thunder manual... everything you could need
Level system: Mortal → Qi Refining → Foundation Establishment → Golden Core → Nascent Soul → Deification. Ten ranks of demons and ghosts, each crushed in turn.
[Showing off and face-slapping, rising through the ranks]
From a night-shift security guard despised by the residents to “Master Lin,” whom they privately begged for help;
From a poor kid living in a basement to a prominent figure in Jiangcheng's supernatural world;
From a rookie trembling at the sight of ghosts to a true Maoshan heir who could destroy a Ghost King with one sword.
My path to leveling up was one long string of face-slapping:
The property manager tried to suppress the news? I livestreamed a ghost hunt, watched by millions online.
Real estate tycoon Qian Fugui killed my mother? I gathered evidence and sent him to prison.
The Black Fiend Cult set up a blood formation to slaughter the whole community? I unleashed my full array of talismans and formations and killed the Ghost General in a counterattack.
