Why Are We Still Playing the Traditional Barbarian Invasion in the Modern Age?

Seriously? It's the twenty-first century! While everyone else is competing over milk tea and fighting for short-video traffic, the Northern Di Alliance is still playing out that tired old “barbarian invasion” plot?

Poor student Ran Chen has it absurdly rough: his part-time job cheats him out of his deposit, and his girlfriend dumps him for a rich second-generation heir because he can't afford taro milk tea. Just as he grumbles that life can't get any worse, his ancestral jade pendant starts squawking, awakening Ran Min's bloodline and the Barbarian-Slaying Order. So the family heirloom left by his ancestors isn't a treasure, it's a barbarian-slaying KPI?

The grumpy dorm supervisor, who spends his days slacking off and drinking tea, is actually a grandmaster of the Profound Mystery Sect. The history professor hides deadly moves behind his ancient books. There are more undercover agents on campus than food-delivery drivers, and the powerful foreign tribes chasing him don't even know how to use navigation?

He pushes his bone-tempering and breath-condensing cultivation to the limit, while his supernatural abilities awaken and give him a cheat-level boost. One punch at an underground fight club sends an old relic flying, and the suppression of his bloodline leaves the foreign tribal bigwigs questioning their entire existence! The Barbarian-Slaying Order is back in the world: it's a new era, so even killing barbarians should be done efficiently! The poor kid: First I'll deal with the barbarians, then I'll complain about whether this lousy plot can get some new tricks!
