Qiao Xi has a dream: to travel by spaceship to Eden and gaze at the stars.
To make it happen, she spends her days reselling machines and her nights working as a sparring partner. After five hundred days of grueling effort, she finally gets to lie down in the most expensive super-intelligent medical pod on Abandoned Star, only to drain her savings and rack up a debt of three hundred thousand star coins.
On the day she gets out of the hospital, the sky is dark and the universe has gone dim.
Qiao Xi drags her legs along through the bleak, cold wind, when a three-year-old newspaper blows right into her face.
"Breaking news! To celebrate the successful launch of the game Cultivating Immortality: The Human Way, we are holding a Neighborly Immortal Cultivation Encouragement Award contest. Any fellow cultivator who reaches the Insight Realm before the launch-day cultivation competition ends will receive a Body Tempering Pill formula, a gold-farming hammer, a basic swordsmanship manual, and a reward of five hundred thousand star coins.
Prizes are limited, so act fast.
We wish all fellow cultivators a sword that settles all under heaven, and success wherever you go."
Qiao Xi: Five hundred thousand star coins! I can do this after all!
