Why Is the Cultivation World So Sick?

[The print edition is titled Stars Come on a Cold Night. Weibo: @Jinjiang Jiying] * Players have poked this cultivation world full of holes. Romance, cooking, combat, management: somehow, every game skill works here. Xie Xingyao became a doomed supporting heroine destined to suffer both physically and emotionally. Betrayed by the one she loved, she was abandoned in the perilous Dark Abyss, where death was all but certain. As a surging tide of demons rushed toward her, she remained expressionless, pulled a few grenades and a brand-new AK-47 from the weapons locker. The villains: How are we supposed to play this game? * After nightfall, several figures sat beside a towering mound of ashes and listened as everyone reminisced about the past. Xie Xingyao: “Come on, what systems did you all get bound to?” The senior disciple swallowed a spoonful of matcha ice cream. “Crazy Kitchen.” The Demon Lord wore a bespoke suit. “Miracle Nikki.” The holy maiden of the immortal sect raced off on a Ferghana horse. “Everyone, watch me pull off a drifting stunt in Kart Rider!” “I only picked an option in the Fish-Raising Guide to the Hehuan Sect for my little sister. Why did everything turn out like this?” The foremost Buddhist, as serene as the bright moon and gentle breeze, asked with tears in his eyes, “What about you?” Xie Xingyao: … Xie Xingyao: “Let’s Fight the Japanese Together.” * Being a transmigrator isn’t easy. You have to keep the plot from going off the rails at all times. According to the original story, the bloodthirsty, brutal villainous Demon Lord would conceal his true nature and protect Xie Xingyao in the Dark Abyss. He would then travel alongside the protagonist’s group, intending to win their trust and claim the supreme divine treasure. The young man in black arrived right on schedule. Playing the delicate, innocent heroine, Xie Xingyao raised a hand to block the surging demon tide. Her figure trembled, and she looked utterly frail. “Save me, young master!” At the same time, a System chime rang in her ear: [Danger detected! Skill activated immediately:] [Rip the Japanese soldiers apart with your bare hands!] Nearby, the lawless tide of demons shattered with a thunderous crash. Far away, the young man was drenched in blood, his wild rage still undiminished. His darkening eyes settled on her face as he gave a mocking, low laugh. “…Ha.” Xie Xingyao: I really was utterly frail. [Reader’s guide] 1. This is a goofy comedy with an ensemble cast and episodic stories, similar to the Chinese Paladin series. I wanted to write about the chivalry of ordinary people. 2. The games in this story don’t exist in real life. They’re mostly jokes and references, so please don’t search for Let’s Fight the Japanese Together, haha. 3. Content note: This isn’t a pure comedy power fantasy. It has a plot and twists. [Coming soon] The House of Gods and Ghosts (Infinite Survival) * [Welcome to the White Night. The challenge is about to begin. Retrieving character information…] [Name: Fu Shuangxing] [Skill: House of Gods and Ghosts] [Skill description: Build a manor in your subconscious. After signing a blood pact with a ghost, god, or otherworldly being, you can summon them into the manor as a “family member.” Once a family member reaches a certain level of intimacy, you can share their abilities.] Fu Shuangxing: Got it. When one person’s in trouble, the whole family pitches in. * The world has changed. The White Night descends at regular intervals. Ghosts roam in hordes, gods and demons feast, and humanity is as insignificant as ants. In a graveyard governed by taboo rules, challengers tremble and dare not cross a single forbidden line. Fu Shuangxing: Find the bugs, play with the bugs, use the bugs to overturn the rules. In a cinema where vengeful ghosts are about to appear, challengers struggle to survive, with nowhere to hide. Fu Shuangxing: If you’re acting, I’ll act too. How about a thrilling game of role-play? After countless wild stunts and utterly unrestrained performances, Fu Shuangxing not only survives every time, but even faces a descending Demon God alone when the day comes. In her left hand, she grips a demon blade of the Asura. On her right, the domain of the God of Light stretches across the sky. * Meanwhile, inside the House of Gods and Ghosts. The Asura demon grinned and snorted. “Carry my demon blade, and you can cut down Yama himself.” The Goddess of Light looked pleased. “The divine forbidden domain can rival the punishment of Heaven.” The Asura: “What ‘punishment of Heaven’? It’s just a flashy light effect.” The Goddess: “What ‘demon blade’? It’s just a piece of scrap metal.” The planchette spirit: “My dear Grandma and Grandpa, that’s the two hundred and fiftieth time you’ve argued.” The planchette spirit: “Big Brother Chainsaw Maniac, please stop chasing Uncle Evil Spirit around with your saw.” The planchette spirit: “And my dear Aunt Hydra… Wait, why is a snake my aunt?!!!” Theme: Strive for self-improvement and promote peace and friendship.
