Cultivation Game: I Became a Tycoon by Forging Artifacts

[No Romance + Strong Female Lead + Ensemble Cast Elements + System + Lighthearted + Power Fantasy + Progression]

I'm Zhu Qingzhi, a gloomy seventeen-year-old high school girl, just about to enter her senior year and spending her summer vacation at home!

All because I stayed up all night one day during summer break, then had an awesome cultivation fantasy dream while sleeping in, I was chosen by some cultivation game and dragged into its game world, under the grand titles of “beta tester” and “lucky audience member” (?)

After an incredibly embarrassing half-day, at the ten-thousandth time I sighed that I was “the world's most gloomy person”!

“Ding, ding-ding, ain't got nobody to call me baby anymore, no one since my baby walked out the door...”

My game assistant slowly descended onto my head, carrying a speaker.

An owl (?)

“To ease employment pressure on graduates in modern society, our company has developed a next-generation, open-world, fully immersive cultivation game, and is offering it to lucky new graduates...” Wait, that's not right!

The owl flew in front of me, and we stared at each other.

“You're only seventeen?!”

I watched the owl's shocked expression and listened to her piercing shriek, then looked up to welcome the rain, as if the heavens weren't already making enough trouble and had to pile on more.

I closed my eyes and smiled faintly. I, Zhu Qingzhi, really am the most gloomy person of all.

A growing female lead + an expansive game-world setting + episodic ensemble casts and a consistently solitary protagonist

The female lead has a bit of dry humor. She takes things calmly, lets them fall into place, and opens her arms to let everything flow away.
