   #The system granted me immortality, and living will eventually make me invincible# [Gou Dao Liu + Immortal Farming + Pretending to be weak to eat tiger] On a hillside, a boy basked in the sun, chewing on a blade of grass, while a black ox with a broken horn sat cross-legged beside him. After living for five hundred years, Chen Ping'an realized the truth: living long is true invincibility. While others were seizing treasures in secret realms, he was laying out insulation arrays for his spiritual fields; while the prodigies were competing in the arena, he was hiding in his alchemy room making fasting pills; on the day the demonic cultivators massacred the city, he was leading the old ox to dig a cellar to stock up on supplies. "Moo!" The black ox's claws flicked out black iron nails, silently reinforcing the eighth layer of the mountain-protecting array. The boy rolled over and muttered, "Brother Ox, the Sword Sect next door sent another challenge letter..." "Moo!" (Buried) "Alright!" When the ancient secret realm collapsed, the patriarchs of various sects fled with serious injuries, only to find the vegetable garden at the foot of the mountain intact. The boy poked his head out of the cellar: "Seniors, would you like a bowl of spirit rice porridge to replenish your qi and blood?" #SurvivingUntilTheEndOfTimeBecomesASaint# #MyGuardianOxCanSetUpTheImmortalSlayingArray# #ThoseProdigiesWhoDieFromMyOvertime# 🔥Click to watch: How the immortal old man inscribed the word "steady" into the laws of heaven!

    Reader note

    The first book, *Ten Days to End*: I recommend reading it while slacking off at work. If your boss asks, just say you're treating your mental exhaustion (the only book with a 9.9 rating on Tomato). When the boss is chasing reports, I'm solving a death trap in the book; when colleagues are shifting blame, I'm watching the main characters stab each other in the back. Following the story during my lunch break is more invigorating than drinking an iced Americano—this book has practically made my electronic pickled vegetables flavorful. I've seen people mess up Werewolf, but I've never seen anyone put 12 unlucky guys into a time loop to play Werewolf. Those who died on the first day are alive and kicking on the second day, and on the third day, everyone's exploiting bugs. The most amazing thing is that the rules set by the dealer are more detailed than the garbage sorting in my neighborhood. To survive, you have to memorize the *Ten Days Survival Manual*, which is much more stimulating than memorizing KPIs. White-collar workers are gnawing on tree bark in a primeval forest, programmers are using vines as network cables, and office workers are forced to play a squid game only to discover: the survival skills tamed in cubicles are utterly useless! But you think this is a battle royale? Wrong! When I saw the plot twist on the 7th day, I almost smashed my phone in my face—so the gods went to all this trouble just to cure their Jade Syndrome? Modern people don't need psychologists; this book just gives you electroconvulsive therapy. When the protagonist tore open the truth of the world on the 10th day, I stared at the subway window, lost in thought: Aren't we, squeezing through rush hour every day, just repeatedly playing through some crappy survival game? (Now the pressure is on the Tomato editorial department; I suggest granting all readers a 10-day paid reading leave.) The second book, *Embers of Eternal Night*: I recommend reading it while working overtime all night. When clients are pushing for drafts, say you're looking for inspiration. While others are staying up all night revising plans until they're bald, I'm staying up all night reading magicians and turning the client's spells into arrays. Since I switched my coffee to this book, even the blue light from my computer at 3 AM has an epic feel—the flashing text in the documents isn't gibberish, it's ancient forbidden spells automatically formatting. I've seen paid pooping, but I've never seen paid divine fire ignited. The protagonist can trigger hidden events while delivering takeout in the City of Eternal Night; what's so special about me getting locked in an office building while picking up takeout? When the black-robed sorcerer used a contract spell to force the demon to change its requirements, the boss poking at the PPT with a laser pointer in the meeting room suddenly seemed exceptionally kind. Office workers are grinding through dungeons in a post-apocalyptic tavern, HR uses the undead as KPIs, and the first thing a worker does after awakening superpowers is extend their overtime spell! But you think this is a Western fantasy wish-fulfillment novel? Wrong! Seeing the Black Robe Council's archives made me laugh out loud—that stack of "Dimensional Management Regulations" taller than me was clearly the administrative assistant's hidden expense reports! Modern youth don't need self-help books; this one teaches you how to hedge against layoffs with a demon contract. When the protagonist reignited the entire city with embers, I was burning project documents with a lighter in the break room, and suddenly it dawned on me: every night we write weekly reports, aren't we all adding fuel to the fire of capitalism? (Now the pressure is on the administration department; please add "Eternal Night" eye-protecting candles to the next shopping list.)
