Cultivation? No, I’m Grinding My Way to Immortal Emperor in the City

Modern cultivation, workplace immortality, and a refreshing twist on the genre. Wang Mang, a wealthy second-generation heir who has returned from studying abroad, is forced to bind himself to the “996 Blessings of Immortality System.” From then on, his cultivation takes a bizarre turn: to break through to Foundation Establishment, he has to become the top food-delivery rider in his district; to form his Golden Core, he must create the year’s best game; and his chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage comes from leading his team to win the esports world championship! After grinding away in the modern workplace and finally making it into the Golden Core Immortals’ Club, he is astonished to discover that the reclusive old cultivators have been pouring money into his game, tuning in to his team’s matches, and even secretly using flying swords to leave five-star reviews for the food he orders! And so begins the most outrageous crossover in history: he uses KPI evaluations to improve sect efficiency, business models to solve ancient secret realms, and project management to plan a counterattack against the demon realm. Where will this path to the heavens, forged through sheer effort on workplace tasks, ultimately lead?
