Cultivation + System + technology + comedy + invincible protagonist
He comes out of seclusion only to lose his job and land in a doghouse?
Xu Xing, Nascent Soul Patriarch of the Xuantian Sect, spent thirty years in seclusion. When he finally emerged, he discovered that the world had changed!
Spiritual energy had dried up, and the Age of Declining Dharma had arrived.
To make matters worse, the national power grid had forcibly shut down the sect’s protective formation over unpaid bills!
“Patriarch, we can’t afford the electricity bill! All several hundred of us in the sect are going to become ordinary people and deliver food!”
Looking at the overdue bill in his hand for one million yuan, Xu Xing fell into deep thought.
Would a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of his realm really have to rob a bank?
No, that’s against the law. He’d get struck by lightning.
Just then, a mechanical voice rang in his mind:
[Ding! The “Electronic Merit System” has been successfully bound!]
[Newbie mission: Deliver an order to earn a living!]
[Mission reward: 100 merit points and five minutes of restored off-grid spiritual power.]
And so, the modern city’s way of life gradually went off the rails...
Other delivery riders rely on their legs. Xu Xing relies on flying on his sword, though he can only fly five meters off-grid.
Others fix computers by restarting them. Xu Xing uses his spiritual sense to find and eliminate viruses, then refines them into talismans for good measure.
Others rely on their talents to livestream. Xu Xing makes lightning with his bare hands, a literal display of thunder magic.
From setting up a fortune-telling stall to forming an esports team, from developing a “Spirit-Gathering Array Router” to leading the sect in ringing the opening bell at Nasdaq.
Xu Xing says through his tears, “I really just wanted to earn enough to pay the electricity bill and maybe revive the immortal path. How did I end up becoming the richest man in the world?”
The disciples cheer, “Patriarch, you’re mighty! Our sect’s stock has hit the daily limit again!”
Xu Xing: “...Enough. Hurry up and renew the 5G plan for the protective formation, or we’ll get disconnected!”
