    This is a hilarious fantasy cultivation and food novel, with everyone being a bit of a goofball. Although the author only earns a few cents a day, he promises to update until completion, exceeding a million words, and he's serious and responsible. The author updates daily and reads his own work from beginning to end, correcting any mistakes. Have you ever seen a cultivator using Doraemon's bamboo copter? This book has it. Have you ever seen a cultivator playing a dance machine? This book has it. Everyone's a bit of a goofball, everyone's hilarious. The author gets more and more unrestrained as the story progresses, so read with confidence. Especially chapters 78, 87, and 88—the author laughed for two hours while writing them before he could stop himself from continuing. Imagine, even the author himself was amused; this book must be incredibly funny and a cure for all unhappiness. [Laugh][Full][Add to bookshelf]
