The Grind King's Guide to Failing Ascension

Shen Bujuan, a former programmer who worked himself to death, transmigrates into the cultivation world as a low-level Qi Refining disciple in the laid-back sect known as the Lie Flat Sect. If they finish last in the sect tournament, the sect will be disbanded, and everyone will lose their jobs. With the logistics giant Shuntian Escort Agency monopolizing the Eastern Wilderness and powerful cultivation sects closing in, he looks at the “Overachiever Power” System in his mind, then at his fellow disciples, who have given up trying, and the fat orange cat beside him, who claims to be the founder of a former delivery giant.

“So we used to work in logistics?”

Fine. Once a slacker gets a System, even lying flat means growing fangs. From then on, the Eastern Wilderness undergoes a complete makeover: “Fellow Daoist, your express flying-sword letter has been delivered.” “Heavenly Sword Sect enforcers? How about paying the delivery fee first?” “A price war? Activate the ‘Data-Driven Cost Model’ and crush them with overwork!”

With his “Core of Calculation” in his left hand to deduce the myriad laws, and “Data Sword Intent” in his right to shatter divine arts, Shen Bujuan has the revived “Windborne Express” logistics crew at his back. When the great powers glare at him during the Immortal Alliance Assembly, he sets down his teacup and smiles faintly:

“Everyone, times have changed. This is the age when anything can be delivered.”

“And I’m just an ordinary, Chief Logistics Officer of the cultivation world.”

“Of course, you can also call me the Overachiever.”
