The Real Young Master, Bound to a Pay-to-Win Game, Becomes a God

Feng Zhengming was born into a wealthy family. When he was fourteen, his parents sponsored a poor student. When he was sixteen, he finally learned the truth: for all those years, his parents had treated him with icy indifference, and his older brother had looked at him with nothing but disdain, because that poor student was their biological son. Feng Zhengming, meanwhile, was merely a tool they used to improve the family’s fortune.

There was no reason to stay with this rotten rich family, so Feng Zhengming promptly packed his things and ran away.

One day, a pixel-art game appeared on his phone: Let’s Save the Cultivation World Together.

The startup screen showed three little pixel people kneeling side by side with broken bowls raised in their hands, begging: Please, give us some spirit stones!

Feng Zhengming opened the System and realized that the so-called spirit stones were actually gold. This was a real pay-to-win game!

Broke and penniless, Feng Zhengming sneered. “There’s no way I’m spending money on a game. I’ll never spend money on one in this lifetime...”

That was until he discovered that this pixel-art game seemed to have some hidden mysteries.

Pixel person number one was the senior disciple of a cultivation sect, skilled in medicine. He could take someone’s pulse from afar and saved Feng Zhengming’s friend, who was suffering from a terminal illness.

Pixel person number two was the sect’s second senior disciple, a master of the occult. He could read feng shui from afar and helped Feng Zhengming avoid three calamities and nine disasters.

Pixel person number three was the sect’s youngest disciple. He seemed to know nothing at all, but had a face of incomparable beauty.

Feng Zhengming chuckled. “The Feng family doesn’t keep idlers.”

That very night, he packed up the youngest disciple and sent him off to debut as a virtual idol.

At some point, a renowned doctor appeared in the capital, Jing City. As long as a patient still had a breath left, he could save them. Even business and political bigwigs had to queue up to see him.

At some point, an occult master appeared in Jing City. Everything he predicted came true. Even the most powerful and influential families had to put on a smile to ask him for a divination.

At some point, a virtual streamer burst onto the scene and took the entertainment industry by storm. His giant posters were everywhere, and online commenters were certain that even the best game models couldn’t create a face that perfect!

The wealthy family that had raised Feng Zhengming finally discovered the truth about the children’s parentage. Feng Zhengming was their real flesh and blood! The so-called biological son they had taken back when he was sixteen was nothing but an impostor who had used occult methods to switch places with him! His wealthy parents regretted everything and gave away their entire fortune just to beg Feng Zhengming to come back. But then they discovered that Feng Zhengming had long since become someone they could only look up to:

The renowned doctor his older brother had gone to great lengths to befriend;

The occult master his parents had desperately tried to get a talisman from;

They all treated Feng Zhengming as an honored guest, showing him the utmost respect!

And one day, the virtual idol who had become more popular than any before him was exposed by paparazzi as a real person!

The paparazzi’s blurry footage could not hide his peerless beauty. On camera, he clung to Feng Zhengming and whined coquettishly, “Honey, I’ll wash the dishes, but I won’t eat. How about you keep me?”

Netizens: We must have gotten up too early. I’m seeing an immortal descend to the mortal world.
