Written as the Sect Leader, Read as the Group's Punching Bag

[Will enter VIP on Monday, October 18. Thank you for being here~]

Shortly before graduating, Yu Lianqing tested a hundred idle management games for his thesis evaluation and got tricked into a closed beta full-immersion game.

He was forced to farm and build things.

System: You can't go home until you build the number one cultivation sect in the world. ^ ^

Yu Lianqing: Sure, fine.

Just like in every pay-to-win mobile game, all sorts of senior brothers and sisters in every shape and size came dropping from the sky, helping Yu Lianqing build up his sect.

Then a vicious blade wrapped in baleful energy and a banyan tree spirit whose vines moved like tentacles squared off, both fighting for the chance to curl up in the Sect Leader's palm.

A senior brother from the Culinary Sect whose cooking could trigger breakthroughs, and a senior sister from the Beast Taming Sect who casually raised an ancient divine beast, came to blows over who got to sleep in the Sect Leader's room, where no outsider was allowed to sleep...

Yu Lianqing was troubled. "You're all my wonderful helpers. Please stop fighting over me!"

The others came up with an idea and made a shift schedule, so every night, the unoccupied half of his bed had someone to fill it.

The others were satisfied. Yu Lianqing couldn't sleep.

But he'd endure anything to get home!

Later, Yu Lianqing looked at the increasingly crooked direction his sect's enterprise had taken and hesitated.

A hot spring resort that was the best in the world...could that count as being number one in the world?

System: Ding! Your sect has taken shape. Do you have any suggestions or feedback about this game?

Yu Lianqing offered a professional evaluation:

"The game meets players' needs for building and managing a sect, but it falls short when it comes to developing personal skills. As Sect Leader, I seem kind of useless."

System: Ding! Feedback received!

Yu Lianqing thought the System would give him a martial arts manual. Instead, the next morning, a handsome man landed with a thud beneath the gold-faced wooden plaque at his mountain gate. He gave Yu Lianqing a critical look. "Your aptitude is acceptable. You may barely qualify as my disciple."

Yu Lianqing: ?

His senior brothers and sisters came streaming out of the sect in delight. "Senior Brother Sword Venerable, have you come to find refuge here too?"

Senior Brother Sword Venerable casually shattered his sleeve. "Yes."

The senior brothers and sisters: "You've come at a bad time, Sword Venerable! Our current shift just started. You'll have to wait two months before you can share a room with the Sect Leader!"

Senior Brother Sword Venerable furrowed his brows. "Cultivation is meant to temper the mind. How can one crave an easy path?"

Yu Lianqing: ?

Yu Lianqing: "As a new disciple, I should sleep side by side with my master and discuss important matters of cultivation!"

So that night, the Sword Venerable sat with a sour expression against the opposite wall. With no NPCs staring at him with glowing eyes, Yu Lianqing finally got a good night's sleep.

But after a while, the Sword Venerable's bed moved to the middle of the room.

A while later, the Sword Venerable was sleeping in the Sect Leader's bed.

A little later, the distance between them had shrunk to negative one foot.

Yu Lianqing: ?

His senior brothers and sisters: ???

Years later, at the first Three Hundred and Sixty Disciplines, Every Discipline Has a Venerable tournament, the event staff looked at the senior brothers and sisters from all the sects standing behind a certain Sect Leader and asked with a tremble:

"Is your sect entering the swordsmanship competition, the alchemy competition, the formation competition, or...?"

"No, I'm here to sponsor the prizes."

Yu Lianqing smiled and presented a stack of discount coupons.

"Winners can bring these to our sect and get twenty percent off their purchases."

▲ What's So Naturally Crazy About Him?

In the distant future, humans across the universe can no longer reproduce, but consciousness can be transferred freely, making them immortal in a sense.

The population has stagnated. Each faction knows exactly how strong the others are, and the universe has entered a delicate era of peace.

One day, an old cryo-pod was salvaged. Inside was a sleeping human from Earth.

His ancient genes meant that he could die.

And those genes could infect the immortal.
