I Have Two Systems

I've started a new novel, The Hardworking Top Student Finally Gets His Golden Finger. Please add it to your favorites! Blurb at the end.

Chen Zhuo has two Systems: one for studying and one for romance.

The problem is that he's already a top student, and he doesn't want to fall in love.

Overly Self-Assured Top X Cold, Irritable Bottom

Fu Qi X Chen Zhuo

New novel, The Hardworking Top Student Finally Gets His Golden Finger:

Shen Qingfei is a problem-solver, a striver, a workaholic. Call him whatever you like.

He came from a small town, got into the best university, joined the most ruthless big tech company, worked the longest hours, and outlasted more of his peers than anyone else.

He won the rat race in this life: an annual salary of a million and a residence permit in Shanghai.

He also lost the race, because at this very moment he's lying in the ICU, a "ripe old age" of twenty-eight.

In the depths of his mind, he seems to hear someone ask him:

"If you had another life, would you still push yourself so hard?"

Shen Qingfei manages to curl his lips into a smile.

"Of course I would..."

And he did just that.

In his next life, he was born into a world of cultivation. But he had no spiritual root, and without one, he couldn't even get in the door to compete.

So he spent ten years in business, became the richest man in the mortal world, then gave away his entire fortune in one stroke, all for a false spiritual root.

But a false spiritual root was still false. Even with one, he could barely get by in the cultivation world. He could only serve as an outer sect disciple at a small sect, doing odd jobs every day while making little progress in his cultivation.

The outer sect elder had seen countless young people like him, whose ambition outstripped their talent. He knew that no matter how hard Shen Qingfei tried, he would never break through to Foundation Establishment. He was destined to live no longer than an ordinary mortal, and then die.

Shen Qingfei didn't believe in fate. He had fought for this false spiritual root, so of course he could keep climbing.

He spent another five years saving enough money to buy a spirit herb that could cleanse his spiritual root.

He thought that if he just kept working hard, one step at a time, he could beat everyone else again.

Unfortunately, in the cultivation world, might makes right. After concealing his aura and buying the herb, he fled at top speed, but still couldn't escape a single sword strike.

The man who robbed him was the protagonist's father. Desperate to help his beloved son, the father wanted to turn his son's dual spiritual roots into a heavenly spiritual root. The herb Shen Qingfei wanted was the most cost-effective way to do it, so naturally the father wouldn't let it slip by.

Besides, the protagonist's father was a good man. He only took Shen Qingfei's herb; he didn't kill him.

Yes, this was a world with a protagonist, where fate favored the chosen one. Shen Qingfei was simply convinced he could beat fate.

He lay in an alley like a stray dog, his consciousness fading.

Then he heard a voice ring out.

"Congratulations, you have been bound to the Problem-Solver System."

Problem-Solver System: Take the hardest exams, get the best rewards.

"Detected that Host is from a low-tech world. The following disclaimer will now be read."

"This System connects to myriad worlds. Whether you come from a primitive age or a spacefaring age, everyone competes on the same track, and those who rank lower must face punishment. So far, the death rate for Hosts from low-tech worlds is 87.52%. Please consider carefully before accepting the binding."

Shen Qingfei laughed. He remembered his previous life.

He came from a small town. Only after entering university did he learn that not everyone started learning English in junior high, and that some people had started studying things much earlier than he had, things he wouldn't learn until high school or even university. And that...

He laughed, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said, "I accept."
