Players Never Listen [The Fourth Calamity]

The Xuanwu Continent has been ravaged by war for ages. One day, a ghost cultivator suddenly appeared, leading an army of skeletons on a series of conquests and bathing the continent in blood. One day, the ghost cultivator led the skeleton army into an ordinary village. Chaos erupted in the village. A pitch-black skeleton approached an old farmer, who fell to his knees with tears streaming down his face and closed his eyes, waiting for death. Skeleton: "Grandpa, what are you kneeling here for?" Old farmer: ... Several skeletons approached. The old farmer closed his eyes again. He had handed all his spirit wheat over to the sect. Whether he starved to death or was killed, it was all the same. But then... Skeleton 1: "I saved this man! Here, Grandpa, have a bun!" Skeleton 2: "Hey, save a head for me, will you? Grandpa, have some water!" Old farmer: ... Looking at the bun and water in his hands, the old farmer wept uncontrollably. This isn't a ghost cultivator! This isn't a ghost cultivator! This is a deity! Shi Jiu has been feeling a little troubled lately. She studied advertising, but was forced to become a game designer. She disguised herself as a player and blended into the crowd, only for the players she summoned to be more troublemaking than the last. She's almost lost control of them! * On an utterly ordinary day, a full-dive game called "Conquer Another World" appeared out of nowhere. The game designer made a bold claim: "This game has a vast setting and a wide variety of gameplay. Its immersive experience will let you feel the magic of full-dive gaming. The closed beta is limited to fifty people. If you don't join, you'll miss out!" Netizen 1: "Another trashy pay-to-win game?" Netizen 2: "Anything calling itself a full-dive game is trash!" Netizen 3: "I'll test it out. Wait for me, guys!"

Since she transmigrated in her own body, she becomes a nameless passerby in the book, is forced to take a nameless master, lives on an unnamed mountain, and gets bound to a card-drawing System called Sect Building. Si Jiang looks at her dilapidated sect, the treacherous world of cultivation, her unreliable master, and herself, utterly incapable of fighting. She decides to go down the mountain and farm. System: ... Wait! You can draw cards! Li Bai, the Poetry Immortal, has a graceful and dazzling sword style. Wang Wei, the Poetry Buddha, has a tranquil, meditative sword style. Du Fu, the Poetry Sage, has a somber, measured sword style. Li He, the Poetry Demon, has an ethereal, uncanny sword style. Just draw a card, and the card pool has everything! With the System's encouragement, Si Jiang diligently travels through the cultivation world. She listens to the romance between the male and female leads while struggling to make a name for her sect. She wants to recruit a new generation of disciples, but she's turned down again and again. Eventually, the System accepts its fate and starts discussing farming techniques with Si Jiang. For some reason, the female lead, male lead, and all the secondary characters begin flocking to her tiny, run-down sect. It makes its debut in the cultivation world, and countless people rush to join. The System is overjoyed. Si Jiang is overwhelmed. Ever since she got mixed up with the male and female leads, she hasn't had a moment's peace. Countless supporting characters mad with love keep causing trouble for her. To find some peace and farm in peace, she decides to master her swordsmanship, then... She stabs the dimwitted female lead. She cuts down the male lead, who's always showing off. She slashes the self-pitying second female lead. She chops down the long-winded second male lead. As she practices, the tangled-up male and female leads break up, the second male lead, mad with love, becomes a monk, and the scheming second female lead returns to inherit her family business... Everyone gets a bright and beautiful future! Si Jiang: This has nothing to do with me. I really wasn't trying to break up any couples! Why is it so hard to farm in the cultivation world?
