[No romance | Comrades-in-arms | Everyone grows | Ensemble cast | High-energy comedy with an apocalyptic twist]
A colossal wall splits the planet Yuan Zhao in two. Humanity scrapes by and builds a civilization in the north, while monsters spend their nights wreaking havoc in the south. Every so often, a lunar eclipse tide rolls in and tears through fortresses as a group. The whole world is constantly on the brink of “almost going under.”
In her previous life, Ling Zhao went by Yuan Xi, a top-tier powerhouse in the Yuan Xi realm. She faced the ultimate boss, Shuo Yuan, alone and burned herself out to win humanity several hundred years of peace.
Reborn, the great master woke up to the reality of life: save the world? Forget it. She had only one goal, to hoard as many Radiant Crystals as possible! Work less, slack off more, refuse every sacrifice-and-service request, and never take a deal that loses money!
But fate wouldn’t let her lie flat. At a D-rank civilian academy, she ended up with a ridiculous five-person squad.
Unlucky squad leader Lu Mingming was the team’s dedicated caretaker. He had to hold the shield and break up fights, and every mess the others made eventually landed on his shoulders;
Brute Su Liao had maxed-out damage and a switched-off brain. He was great at chopping up monsters, but when he gathered seeds, he somehow turned the squad’s food supply into monster plants;
Bookkeeping fanatic Wen Xu was happy to save people, but the Radiant Crystals had to be paid up front. Every drop of medicine went into his little notebook;
Stoic Shen Ji was a skilled scout with illusion eyes. His nose bled every time he used his ability, so he silently watched the whole team court disaster.
This was supposed to be an apocalyptic monster-battling, level-up adventure, but the squad spent every day teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
A greedy girl who only wanted to make money and slack off, with a squad of attention-seeking comrades in tow, mourns every Radiant Crystal while being forced to shoulder one world-ending crisis after another.
