Survival-first cultivation + decisive in killing + play the pig to eat the tiger + lighthearted and witty
Overworked office drone Chu Ge transmigrates to a fantastical world and awakens a golden finger called the Survival Ledger. As long as he acts weak, backs down, and keeps his abilities hidden, he can accumulate survival points like crazy and exchange them for powerful techniques, pills, and combat simulations. The longer he stays under the radar, the more invincible he becomes.
And so, Luoxia Sect gains an oddball: he comes last in the outer disciple tournament, picks up scraps during secret-realm treasure hunts, and cries out in pain during duels with prodigies. Everyone mocks the “useless servant,” but no one knows that the pills he refines in the middle of the night are piled up like mountains, or that his ledger contains three immortal-grade cultivation techniques.
But survival-first cultivation doesn’t mean being a coward. When someone harms one of his brothers, the steward’s entire household dies in a series of “accidents.” When someone tries to set him up, a demonic genius meets a mysterious end. Chu Ge’s principles are simple: In public, I kneel and call you big brother. In private, the grass on your grave will grow three feet tall.
When a million-strong army from Blood Fiend Sect bears down on them, when his loved ones fall one after another, and when the ledger reveals that this entire world is a sham, Chu Ge slowly unveils the trump card he has kept hidden for a hundred years.
“Everyone, the truth is, I’ve been invincible all along.”
