Synopsis:
This is a desolate land, a land abandoned by the gods.
This is the "Heavenly Ladder."
Wealth, power, strength... even the secrets of the world. Whatever bizarre wish you have, the Heavenly Ladder can make it come true.
The higher you climb, the more you gain, but the price you pay may be greater too.
The chosen lucky ones fight tooth and nail, scrambling toward the top of the Heavenly Ladder.
Only Jiang Chengjin is absorbed in farming, swinging his little hoe as he works to build his 1,700-square-meter pond. His goal is to enjoy a peaceful old age with five generations under one roof.
One day, a one-legged cripple shows up at his cozy home.
The cripple sobs as he recounts the miseries he suffered in the beginner's village, and declares that he's finally found someone to rely on.
At the repeated cries of "Daddy," Jiang Chengjin loses himself.
Watching his bargain-bin son shovel down three bowls of rice, he clearly has no idea how serious things are.
A month later, out of food, Jiang Chengjin is forced to set off on an expedition, hoe in hand.
Chu Shangqian, who clings to him shamelessly, raises both hands and his broken leg in agreement. "Wherever the boss goes, I'll go. Clinging to a strong ally is the first rule of survival in another world."
The cripple speaks with such confidence that his beginner's badge seems to shine even brighter.
Once they form a team, Chu Shangqian, the wolf in sheep's clothing pretending to be a hero in a bear costume, immediately gives himself away.
He's a powerhouse in battle, with an outrageous style and slippery footwork.
He beats the stages until they can't fight back.
Jiang Chengjin sneers. "Why don't they get you to play the impostor? Tell me, how is this a beginner?"
This is what you call a beginner???
