On the seventh day of unemployment, Chen Fan was struck by lightning.
A System appeared in his mind, letting him cultivate by watching ads.
Watch a 30-second fantasy adventure ad, get +1 spiritual energy.
Watch a 60-second laundry detergent ad, gain immunity.
Watch a 120-second online loan ad, receive a double-strength combat card.
While others meditated for ten years, he spent one day scrolling through short videos.
When the entire cultivation world was hunting him down, he was watching ads.
When he ascended through his tribulation, he was still watching ads.
The CEO of the Myriad Realms Network knelt before him:
"Who are you, really?"
Chen Fan put away his phone and looked up with a smile:
"Hang on, let me claim this red envelope first."
