Lin Che transmigrates into the cultivation world as a textbook good-for-nothing. Just as he’s being ground into the dirt, he gets bound to a very unusual System
“Ding! Detected the ‘villain must sneer and ramble’ trope! Host, we recommend breaking his legs. Reward: ‘Shut Up, Show-Off’ Talisman!”
“Ding! Detected the ‘Saintess in Peril Must Wait for a Hero to Save Her’ trope! Host, please steal her provisions and make her get back on her feet by herself. Reward: ‘Anti-Trope Aura’!”
Others cultivate by meditating. He grows stronger by talking back.
Others risk their lives to seize opportunities. He spots the tropes and scoops up the spoils.
Others win over the heroine by saving her. He trades barbs with his proud senior sister until she becomes his “anti-trope ally.”
From then on, a legend spread through the cultivation world:
Never show off in front of Lin Che. Not only can this guy flip your table, he can also get the System to award you the “Dumbest Trope of the Year” prize.
Lin Che (with a blade of grass in his mouth): “Can’t help it. The System forces me to be a contrarian. If I don’t ruin the scene, it deducts my cultivation.”
System: “You’re the one who enjoys talking back!”
Su Muxue (sword in hand): “Keep running your mouth and I’ll dismantle this System of yours!”
Lin Che: “Hey, don’t! It still owes me three meals of braised pork!”
It's inexplicable, why should auntie give you meat?
