Other people transmigrate into cultivation worlds to defy fate and prove the Dao through hard training. Lin Xiao transmigrates into one to meet the System's “bizarre KPIs.”
Bound to the Emotion-Harvesting System, Lin Xiao is bitterly disappointed to discover that meditating properly is too slow. He can only grow stronger when other people “lose it”! And so the cultivation world gains an exceptionally eccentric troublemaker.
When the aloof Holy Maiden shows up to break off their engagement, he pulls out a “Breakup Fee and Emotional Damages Itemization” and tearfully earns thirty thousand spirit stones.
When the Demonic Sect Leader comes seeking revenge, he performs a stand-up comedy routine on the spot, making the sect leader so angry that he suffers cultivation deviation.
When an ancient secret realm opens and everyone else fights desperately inside, he sets up shop at the entrance selling tickets and chilled bottled water.
The sect elders lament: “This boy is perverse and has no Dao heart. He's the greatest disgrace our sect has suffered in a thousand years!”
Then one day, as tens of thousands of immortals gather and a great enemy bears down on them, all the prodigies despair...
The least serious troublemaker of them all picks his toes and casually releases a heavenly-burning sword energy, punching a hole right through the sky.
Everyone stares in horror. “You call that having no Dao heart?!”
Lin Xiao spreads his hands helplessly. “Can't help it. They gave me way too many emotion points.”
