Absurd Cultivation × Campus Billionaire × Tabletop RPG × Misunderstandings and Overblown Reputation × Multiple Heroines
[System Alert: Demonic energy fluctuations detected! The Martial Hall Officer is personally inspecting outer disciples’ cultivation. Those who slack off will be punished!]
Song Luo looks up and sees his academic counselor pressed against the glass of the back door, coldly scanning the evening study hall.
…This translation is ridiculous.
The free text-based tabletop RPG "Chronicles of the Mystic Wastes" that he played in college has suddenly invaded reality.
An entire university with strict residential rules has been transformed by the System, with all its faculty and students cast as NPCs in a cultivation sect.
The academic counselor has become a [Martial Hall Officer], the university’s subject-wide exams have become [Sect Grand Examinations], and the upperclasswoman he runs into in the hallway is none other than the game NPC [Senior Sister Qingzhi].
[Ding! Sect Grand Examination complete. Received 5,000 Mystic Wastes spirit coins, convertible into real-world spending money!]
From milk tea and snacks to the latest electronics and a down payment on a motorcycle, Song Luo gradually realizes he’s becoming one of the county town’s elite in real life.
While everyone else scrimps and saves to impress the opposite sex, he can casually pull a Flowing Cloud Jade Hairpin from his storage pouch. These spirit-grade treasures produced by the System are worth a fortune in the real world.
A classmate publicly proposes a bet over an essay exam, challenging him for the chance to discuss the Dao with their master.
Song Luo looks at his stats panel: [Insight: 42] [Alluring Physique: 35] [Mystic Wastes Spirit Coins: 21,700], and falls into deep thought.
Compete on knowledge? His Insight stat crushes everyone.
Compete on wealth? He can produce a one-of-a-kind jade pendant at a moment’s notice.
Compete on charm? The System says he was born with an alluring physique.
Classmate: “…You’re definitely cheating, aren’t you?”
Song Luo: “No. I’m just taking a single-player game seriously.”
