Song Chen was a low-level streamer at a war-game experience company. Just as she'd finally saved enough points to retire... A system malfunction at the company suddenly turned her back into the Alpha pretty-boy celebrity whom the entire Alliance had ridiculed. Not only were her points frozen, but she was also saddled with the company's enormous debt [System debt]: 1,000,000,000,000 [Current assets]: 1,000 [Helpful reminder]: Wage slaves don't get to say no. Work, or die. Song Chen nearly slammed her fist down on the spot. Her personal device thoughtfully displayed an ad [Alliance First, Second, Third, and Fourth Military Academies, Special Operations College: the Alliance's premier talent incubator! Enroll and receive a 300,000 scholarship!] [The military academies host numerous competitions with generous prizes! The top prize in a single competition can reach 100 million!] So Song Chen went. And then, by accident, she enrolled as the top-ranked student. * After Song Chen overcame every obstacle, shed her pretty-boy image, and made something of herself at the military academy, she discovered that everything around her was becoming strange. It all began when Song Chen stumbled upon the fact that the aberrant creatures that had terrified humanity for two hundred years were actually dishes on her menu. They were crunchy with every bite and utterly addictive. And what she thought was transmigration for a second time was actually a character reset. Somewhere in the endless void, an indescribable horror seemed to be coveting her life. Then an obscure cult suddenly showed up at her door, held a knife to her throat, and "hired" her as a double agent. Her mission was to fall in love with the Omega general who ranked first in the Alliance in combat strength. Song Chen: "...If you want me dead, you can just say so. Seriously." Song Chen accepted the mission, but there was no way she was going through with it. She simply stayed at the general's military academy, lying low and looking for a way out. Then one day, the cool, beautiful man hailed as the Alliance's top general came to Song Chen of his own accord. His rose-purple eyes, usually as still as ancient waters, shimmered with fragments that had crossed through time. He said to her, "Welcome home." Guide: [Blurb screenshotted on 2021/7/23 and 2023/12/8] *The world combines ABO, Cyborg (human-machine fusion/cybernetic organisms) stages 1.0–3.0 [not the same as Cyberpunk], and Cthulhu elements. The Lovecraftian and occult elements make up a substantial portion of the story. You can still read it without knowing the genre, but there are lots of original settings that form a self-contained chain of logic. Don't try to apply the settings from other works with similar elements; they won't fit. *Slow-burn progression story. The opponents aren't as powerful as the heroine from the start; their strength increases along with hers. This isn't a pure face-slapping wish-fulfillment story. The main plot includes logical deduction, timeline convergence, quantum mechanics [not really], and military academy competitions, which account for less than 20% of the story and aren't particularly action-packed. Please proceed with caution if that's not your thing. *Things that look like bugs in the story are foreshadowing. Feel free to keep reading if you're interested. Comments are welcome, but the author won't respond to spoilers. *Written purely for love, a self-indulgent long-form practice project started out of turn. The content is highly personal. If it's not your cup of tea, please drop it right away. Don't force yourself. *The author has limited writing experience, but kindly declines unsolicited advice. *Don't mention other works or related topics in the comments. Anything of the sort will be reported and deleted. If you suspect plagiarism, take your evidence to the reporting center. Baseless accusations of plagiarism will also be reported and deleted without a response. That's all. A Temple's Master, Getting Rich Through the Supernatural [Question: What does it feel like to inherit a Taoist temple?] Wu Bai: Thanks for asking. Turns out that even the most advanced cultivation can't keep you from needing food, and the temple is so poor we're scraping the bottom of the barrel. That would be bad enough, but inheriting the temple also came with a few little ones who are clamoring to be fed... Wu Bai: Anyway, I have to head down the mountain to get a Taoist certification so I can register at a temple and earn a living. On her way down the mountain to take the exam, carrying the ancestral broken sword, Wu Bai ran into a runaway ghost. While exorcising it she lost control of her strength and kicked in the ceiling of a wealthy family's house. Homeowner: You look dirt poor, so I'll give you a discount. Pay me 300 million. Wu Bai: ??? Wu Bai: !!! Wu Bai's legs trembled, and she nearly dropped to her knees. Then she thought of the poor little ones back at the temple. She'd fight for it!! To repay the debt, Wu Bai took on a job at a haunted house that had supposedly stumped countless powerful Taoists. Fellow Taoists: Wu Bai? Who? What backwater chicken is this? In full view of the crowd, Wu Bai brought her sword down once, and the vengeful ghost vanished into ashes. She became famous overnight, and money came pouring in. Wu Bai: Huh? Is it that easy to make money?! Fellow Taoists: ...How annoying! * The rice jar at Lingyun Temple had run completely dry, and the sect leader who'd gone out to earn money still hadn't come back. The disciples, who'd spent years in seclusion, all went down the mountain to find their sect leader. As a result, the Songhai City Daily was full of excitement [No way! A long-haired man in Songhai City brought a sudden-death patient back to life in one go!] [Holy crap! Someone jumped from the top of the 101 Building and landed without a scratch!] [Unbelievable! The animals at Songhai Zoo went on a rampage because of one sentence from a mysterious woman!] Reporter: What brings you to Songhai City? Unusual people: The rice jar at home is empty. We're here to find Senior Brother/Master/Uncle/Younger Brother/Sect Leader Wu Bai. * After a hundred years in seclusion, the legendary Lingyun Temple, where every member was said to be a Celestial Master, suddenly opened its doors to the public. The many visitors who came to pay their respects were stunned to discover that the sect leader was none other than Wu Bai, the person who had thrown the entire Taoist community into chaos! Just look at the temple's gold-plated founder's statue, the lost talismans, and the pile of magical artifacts that had been left in a corner like junk. Fellow Taoists: Weren't you supposed to be poor?! This place is absolutely rolling in it! After Becoming an F-Rank Card In the year 2300, the Earth was surrounded by aurora towers. For ten years, the towers had randomly seized hundreds of millions of people and taken them inside. They had vanished without a trace, their fates unknown. * The game streamer Cong Jingxian, pale and skinny on the outside but famous for her foul mouth, was captured by an aurora tower and became one of billions of unlucky people. "Ding-dong!" "Congratulations! You've become an F-rank character card. Please do your best to level up under your owner's command and become an SSR soon!" Cong Jingxian rolled up her sleeves, revealing slender, pale arms. "Owner, my ass. Call me Daddy." Everyone thought Cong Jingxian was no different from the people who'd been dragged into the towers before her, and that she'd soon die in some instance. Later, they discovered that she was the aurora towers' true catastrophe. * Welcome to the aurora towers.
