The Intern's Cultivation Chronicles

Who gets it?! Being an office drone in the cultivation world is even worse than working 996 in my previous life. Every day, I grind pills until my hands cramp. Miss my KPI targets and I face a dimensional reduction punishment. My workaholic colleagues push themselves so hard they don’t sleep, while management only cares about performance and couldn’t care less whether we live or die.

Lin Mo only wants to slack off, save up some money, and escape this pointless rat race. Instead, he gets dragged into a conspiracy to control cultivators. Zhang, an alchemist, is forced to alter pills to save his daughter. Sister Li is forced to cooperate with the plot to protect her family. Zhao Juan is controlled by the Rat Race Gu and turned into a puppet. And the mastermind behind it all is the Efficiency Department director who created the rules of the rat race.

A group of low-level office drones, swept along by life and squeezed dry by KPIs, join forces because they share the same plight. They go from slacking off on their own to becoming comrades who rely on one another. They aren’t born heroes. They just don’t want to be controlled or lose the people they love. They only want a peaceful, carefree life cultivating immortality, free from the rat race.

This is not just a battle against the rat race in the cultivation world, but a journey of self-redemption for a group of office drones. May everyone swept up in the rat race find the courage to fight back and live the way they want.
