My Dog Ascended Before I Did

Bai Lian transmigrated to the cultivation world hundreds of years ago. She diligently trained the dog that came with her, but the dog never became a spirit, and she never ascended. They settled into a happy life of cultivation, working nine to five, taking weekends off, and enjoying a balanced diet of meat and vegetables. She thought she would live like this forever. After all, nobody in this cultivation world had ascended in a thousand years, and she wasn't particularly interested in ascending either. Then the dog got promoted first... No, ascended first. * Bai Lian: ??? The entire cultivation world: ??? * At last, the people of a cultivation world where no one had ascended in a thousand years welcomed the long-awaited heavenly thunder. When it stopped, there was no ethereal immortal in the crater, only a husky gazing sternly at the sky and howling... * A few days later, they discovered that although this immortal husky had strangely stayed on the ground, its combat strength was not at all lacking. Even its previously nonexistent intelligence had grown. It wreaked havoc on the cultivation world's cram school, leaving the place in utter turmoil and acting nothing like an immortal... or an immortal dog. Shaken, the cultivators grew alarmed: "This dog acts a lot like the last person who ascended... Could this be the way to ascend?" * * * Next book: Becoming a Capitalist in an Infinite-Flow World [Hello, I am the Capitalist System. I can help you rise to the highest social class and become an excellent capitalist.] Socialist successor, wage slave, Chi Qiujiu: Get lost! And so, she entered an infinite-flow world :) Stupid System, stupid capitalists. When evil ghosts are eating people and she's in mortal danger, Chi Qiujiu shouts: System, get out here! I'll sign! Later She goes where other people don't dare go, and faces the evil ghosts no one else dares to confront. Chi Qiujiu: Hey, work from 1 a.m. to midnight, all year round, no limit on performance targets, meals and lodging included. Interested? At first Evil ghost: She's crazy. Eat her! Later The ghosts' eyes turn red with fury, and they finally snap: How come I don't get weekends off, overtime pay, or a 996 schedule! Chi Qiujiu: Want that? Sure. First, let's start by learning the core socialist values. Anyone with even a kindergarten education should know that in this situation, you call the labor bureau. Capitalist System: ??? #Sorry, our socialist successors really do have values# #It's not that we want to exploit these evil ghosts, we mostly want to give them a home# #Interested? Meals, lodging, and tutoring included# [Bonus Scene] A meeting of the horror world's Bosses. The Big Boss is absent. Little Boss A: Where's the boss? Little Boss B: Seems like they've been gone for ages. Little Boss: Forget it, we can't do anything about that. Any idea why there are fewer and fewer evil ghosts in the dungeons? Other Little Bosses: N-no. That night, the Little Bosses stare at each other at a job fair where the Big Boss is the chief recruiter. #We have nothing to eat or drink in the infinite-flow world, while you've already become the chief recruiter.# #As expected of the Big Boss# Theme: Don't blindly follow the crowd. Stay true to your own choices. The journey toward your dreams matters just as much as the dreams themselves. Enjoy the scenery along the way and live a wonderful life.
