Urban: Playing a Mountain-Moving Taoist, Shocking the World

[Urban Superpowers] [Role-Playing System] [Forbidden Zone Exploration] [Mountain-Moving Daoist]

Qin Lan transmigrates, and a "God-Tier Role-Playing System" appears in his mind. To activate it, he must take part in the global livestream show Exploring the Forbidden Zones and enter, alive, a deadly zone no human has ever set foot in.

A ten-billion-dollar prize? Irrelevant. He only wants to activate the System.

The draw results are announced: the contestant representing the Dragon Kingdom is Qin Lan, a first-year student at Yanyun University.

The internet erupts: "A college student is going off to die?"

The next moment, the System activates. [Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a character card: Republican-era Daoist, Chief of the Mountain-Moving Sect!]

He changes into a deep-blue Daoist robe, ties up his hair, and drapes a dark-red scarf over his shoulders. The person in the mirror has shed all traces of youth, leaving only the calm of an ancient well. His compatibility soars, and he obtains a Vajra Umbrella: closed, it can serve as a staff; open, it can withstand a force of ten thousand jun.

In the show's equipment hall, everyone else grabs bulletproof vests and thermal imaging devices. Qin Lan takes only a spade, a box of matches, and a length of rope.

A staff member registers his weapon: a shabby gray umbrella. The staff member tries to lift it, but it won't budge. He braces himself with both hands and strains until his face reddens, yet the umbrella only rises two centimeters off the table.

Qin Lan picks it up with one hand and taps it against the table. Thunk. A dent caves into the tabletop.

The entire hall falls silent. Zhao Jiayi, the strongest contestant, walks straight up to him. "Team up with me."
