On the eve of his company's new product launch, product manager Shen Ning died suddenly after working 36 hours straight. When he opened his eyes, he found himself transmigrated to an immortal sect's disciple selection ceremony.
System: [The original host was a lazy layabout, the sect's number-one candidate for a makeover. Please embody the spirit of a modern office worker and turn him into a diligent, hardworking, ambitious person who loves his job.]
Shen Ning: Politely declining. Why sleep so long while alive? I'll sleep forever once I'm dead. I need a long sleep.
System: [Complete the missions and you can be reborn in the modern world!]
Shen Ning: (This product launches, and I'll definitely get a promotion and a raise at the end of the year.) Okay, what do I have to do?
[First Mission: Snatch the Prodigy Disciple]
[The immortal sect's prodigy disciple, Ling Yuan, is actually a seed of world destruction. In five years, the Demon King will control him and destroy the world. Snatch him away from Fifth Elder.]
At the same time, Shen Ning saw the original host's past life: he had failed to stop Ling Yuan and been pierced through the heart by his sword.
System! System! I want to quit!
[Mission countdown: five, four, three, two, one.]
[Mission started.]
Theme: Strive tirelessly to improve yourself.
