[Steady-Paced] [Master of Keeping a Low Profile] [Decisive and Ruthless] [Intelligent Protagonist] [No Saintly or Foolish Behavior]
Chen Fan, a graduate of a vocational college, has hit a dead end in his job search when he unexpectedly awakens the [Fortune-Choosing System].
Taking a job at an electronics factory earns him an average fortune: an ordinary life to the end, with enough food and clothing.
Working as a waiter earns him a bad fortune: he gets caught up in a brawl and is left permanently disabled.
But choosing to go up the mountain and become a Daoist temple handyman earns him the best fortune of all: he enters the mystic arts and learns to draw qi into his body!
From then on, the world gains a master of keeping a low profile, one who only chooses the best fortune and proceeds with extreme caution.
His fellow disciples grow jealous and set a deadly trap? He picks the best fortune, turns the tables, and makes the villain suffer the consequences, leaving him with his cultivation crippled.
Evil cultivators hunt him down and lay a seemingly inescapable trap? He picks the best fortune, sets up an array in advance, turns their own weapons against them, and takes all the spoils.
A secret realm is packed with deadly traps? He picks the best fortune, strolls through at his leisure, claims the greatest opportunity hidden within, then leaves without taking on the slightest karmic burden.
Years later, while others are risking their lives in a series of harrowing ordeals, Chen Fan already stands at the peak of the mortal world. Looking back at all the chosen ones and villains filling the world, he sighs:
“I just wanted to quietly draw a fortune slip. How come every single one turns out to be the best?”
It's still as fast-paced as ever, but it's much more detailed than the previous one.
I think writing about cultivating immortals is not as good as writing about martial arts.
