Synopsis
Lin Zhou is a game company's balance designer. After pulling an all-nighter to revise a skill coefficient chart, he closed his eyes and found himself inside Shrouding the Heavens.
No Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, no System panel, no old man in a ring. There was an unopened Sea of Bitterness in his lower abdomen, and before his eyes were countless invisible, untouchable threads of karma. One red thread, thick as a cable, led to the Forbidden Land of the Ancients. A single glance made his nose bleed. A gray thread, fine as a spider's web, led to an orphan with a chipped tooth who grew blood lingzhi.
Ye Fan had yet to reach the Big Dipper. The Lingxu Cave Heaven was recruiting menial disciples. A shortage of twelve blood lingzhi was Lin Zhou's ticket in.
His plan was simple: help Chen Shitou sell his herbs to the cave heaven, get himself a menial disciple's position, and explore every foothold at the edges of the rules before Ye Fan set foot on the Big Dipper. As for that red thread leading to the Forbidden Land of the Ancients, the best way to deal with it was to walk away with his back turned.
Don't steal the protagonist's opportunities. Just profit from the time he has to spare.
