Apprenticed to Uncle Jiu: I Grinded My Way to Immortality Through Diligence

[Uncle Jiu] [Hard Work Always Pays Off System] [Scheming with an Adorably Contrasting Side] [Decisive and Ruthless] [Lighthearted Comedy] [Overpowered Protagonist]

After transmigrating to a world overrun by zombies, Luo Su becomes an eleven-year-old orphan and is adopted by Uncle Jiu. Just after recovering from a serious illness, he unexpectedly awakens the Hard Work Always Pays Off System. As long as he practices, he is guaranteed to make progress, with no limits imposed by a lack of talent!

Other people have to hope the patriarch will bless them with talent before they can draw talismans. Luo Su hides in an empty coffin at the funeral home in the middle of the night, grinding his proficiency like crazy. Other people are scared witless when they encounter vengeful ghosts. With his innate Fire Spirit Body, Luo Su treats every ghost as a monster to farm for experience.

On the surface, he is the sweet, well-behaved, exceptionally gifted little apprentice Uncle Jiu adores. Behind the scenes, to monsters and demons, he is the living King of Hell: a man of few words who would rather throw a punch than waste time talking.

Vengeful ghost: "This kid looks so soft and tender. He must be easy to bully... Holy crap! How are you using Samadhi True Fire at max level?!"

Wencai/Qiu Sheng: "Little Junior Brother is so kind. He always pleads for us whenever we're punished... Wait, why are we still the ones copying scriptures and getting beaten?"

Then one day, Uncle Jiu gazes at the courtyard full of purple talismans and the flying corpse burned to ash, sinking into deep thought. "Xiao Su, I'm begging you, stop grinding! The coffin lid of Maoshan's founding patriarch is about to burst open!"

See how this scheming little boy grinds his way through the vast Hong Kong cinematic universe, devours the extraordinary flames of the Myriad Worlds, and fights his way from Renjia Town to the Myriad Worlds!
