Lu Chen transmigrates to a bizarre world and obtains the “Attribute Pickup System.” Before long, things start going off the rails.
While everyone else painstakingly cultivates to control the uncanny, he makes a living plucking the uncanny for all it's worth:
[Embroidered Shoes of the Red-Clad Bride]+ [Basic Fist Technique]= [Crimson Square-Dance Fist] (comes with the BGM “The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style”)
[Tears of the Grave-Weeping Crone]+ [Breath-Concealment Technique]= [Presence: -100%] (even the uncanny can't be bothered to look at you as they pass)
While cultivators push themselves to the limit, Lu Chen opens a “Martial Arts Crash Course” in the slums: “Three days to condition your body, guaranteed! If you can't learn it, get your money back!”
When powerful clans oppress the common people, he publishes The Guide to Fighting Fake Accident Scams and The Manual for Fleecing the Uncanny.
When the Lord of the Uncanny arrives, Lu Chen pulls out Five Years of Uncanny Exams, Three Years of Practice Tests: “Hey, student, want to do some practice problems? Get them wrong and you die.”
Then he grinds the god-tier attribute [Heaven Rewards Diligence] to max level.
That day, he bashfully asks the immortals and gods filling the sky: “Do you know what it means to ‘get stronger through hard work’?”
Then he throws a punch. The Heavenly Dao collapses, the uncanny weep, and the cultivators go bald.
From then on, the world has a new ironclad rule:
You can mess with cultivators. You can mess with the uncanny. But whatever you do, don't mess with that try-hard still practicing his punches at four in the morning.
He'll drag you into the grind with him, until you question your whole life and start belting out “Labor Is the Most Glorious.”
