The Server's Number One Artifact Crafter [Full-Dive]

New novel now available: The Hardcore Gamer Can Do Anything [Full-Dive]. Please add it to your collection! Arrogant, pampered beauty x seemingly proper, secretly scheming gentleman Imperial General Shao Yan retired due to injury and returned home to inherit a fortune that included more than a dozen mining planets. He shot to the top of the Empire's Most Eligible Bachelors list, with countless admirers pursuing him. But according to rumors, Shao Yan was already living with someone: an utterly ordinary student from the Imperial Capital, with no parents, a timid personality, and a useless F-rank constitution. The student seemed like an easy target. Before long, a group of the general's fanatical admirers cornered him outside the academy. “How did you meet the general?” Si Xingchen blinked his big, doe-like eyes and replied in a soft voice, “We met online playing a full-dive game. I sold him equipment.” One of the fans rolled her eyes. “Sold him equipment? How much could that be worth? Name your price. I'll buy every piece of equipment you've made, and you can break up with the general. Otherwise, huh!” Si Xingchen blinked again. “Really?” The fan sneered with disdain and logged in to make the trade. One piece of equipment after another appeared in the trade window, and the amount due climbed to a terrifying sum. “...” The hand preparing to pay trembled slightly. The players: What an idiot! Every piece of Han's equipment costs a fortune, and you still offered to buy them all! No worries! It's only a game. I can still use the fact that Si Xingchen is a pharmacy student. Surely he won't pass up such a good chance to get an advanced apothecary to tutor him! A classmate from the same department: Um, friend, are you sure you want an advanced apothecary to tutor a master apothecary with several patents to his name? Fan: ??? Don't panic. Si Xingchen still has a useless constitution. We can find a couple of people to deal with him. But the hired thugs watched with their own eyes as Si Xingchen's flesh and blood reformed beneath the lightning, leaving him completely unharmed. The thugs angrily tore up the contract. “How the hell is that an F-rank constitution?” Si Xingchen smiled innocently. “You said you'd pay me if I broke up with him, remember?” A pair of big hands wrapped around him from behind, and Shao Yan bit Si Xingchen's ear as if venting his frustration. “Break up over what? Sign the transfer agreement for the mining planets.” Fan: Damn it, my heart hurts! PS: 1. One-on-one, happy ending, an absurdly powerful golden finger, totally overpowered, pure wish fulfillment. 2. Updates daily at six in the morning. 3. Read with a clear head, be civil, and let's all get along. -- Coming soon: Hardcore Gamer [Full-Dive] Blurb: Every game has a kind of player whose avatar is always lit up, no matter when you log in. No matter how strict the anti-addiction system is, it can't stop them. Whales grit their teeth in frustration, while free-to-play players look up at them in awe and sigh. They are hardcore gamers. The hottest full-dive game in the interstellar world, Cataclysm, has just begun its open beta. While ordinary players are still exploring the map, the big shots are already rubbing their hands together and preparing to climb the rankings. The rankings are usually at their liveliest on the first day. The ID at the top after the first hour is Qian Ziqiu. After twenty-four hours, Qian Ziqiu is still in first place. Other players: Huh, this Qian Ziqiu is pretty impressive. It doesn't take long for them to realize how wrong they were: this guy isn't just impressive! While ordinary players are struggling to survive in the first beginner dungeon, Qian Ziqiu has already achieved the first S-rank clear; while ordinary players are asking everywhere for guides to the main quests, Qian Ziqiu has already completed a hidden quest and obtained the key to unlocking a new world; while ordinary players have finally managed to survive for the duration of a mission, Qian Ziqiu has already become the lord of a city in the new world. As Qian Ziqiu's lead over second place grows and he dominates the top spot across the entire server, other hardcore gamers cry out: We can't keep up! We really can't keep up! Whales and top players rage in frustration: If you're so good, log off and go to sleep!!! - Qian Ziqiu took a barely living person in a vegetative state to a garbage planet. After getting settled, he had only twenty star coins left to his name. With twenty star coins, he had to choose between two ordinary nutrition drinks and spending the night at an internet cafe. Qian Ziqiu decisively chose the latter. He had no other talents. He didn't want to starve to death or be unable to afford medicine, so he might as well get to work! Cataclysm has a special two-player mode, with one human player and one support System. If a player has no teammate, the game assigns an AI System. The AI is quite intelligent and can communicate normally with players. But Qian Ziqiu feels he's had a bit of bad luck: he's been assigned a malfunctioning AI. There's no helping it. Time is short, so he'll have to make do. What else can he do? - Shao Yunsong became a person in a vegetative state just before graduating at the age of twenty-two. By an accident, his consciousness remained inside the game. Shao Yunsong didn't have much to tie him down, but there was one person he couldn't stop worrying about. He thought that if he could see him again, that would be wonderful. After an unknown length of time, the game began its open beta. The game automatically matched Shao Yunsong with a teammate. He read the name aloud: “Qian Xiaoqiu.” He said, “You made me laugh. Even your AI System can mistake one character for another?” “Let me teach you. Repeat after me: Qian Ziqiu.” “...” Xiaoqiu, his Xiaoqiu. Theme: Rise again in adversity, surpass yourself, achieve your potential, and face life with courage and optimism.
