[Updates daily from launch]
In the second year of the spiritual qi revival, an ordinary person who can't cultivate, Qian Bolang, becomes class monitor of the problem cultivation class.
Qian Bolang stares at the principal who talked him into taking the job.
"This job could put my life in danger. I don't think I..."
"I'll pay you more: one and a half spirit stones a month."
"Ha! Do I look like someone who can be bought with money...?"
"Three."
"Deal."
When a fireball grazes his face and burns off a big patch of hair, Qian Bolang begins to regret his decision.
But...
Thinking of the spirit stone that sold for five hundred million at auction, Qian Bolang rubs his trembling legs and decides he can do this after all.
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. He's going for it!
So, how do you become a "good" class monitor?
Qian Bolang's answer:
They cultivate, and I keep watch. They're late, and I sign them in. They need time off, and I come up with an excuse. They haven't done their homework, so I lend them mine to copy.
When they fight behind closed doors, I clean up the mess and take the blame if necessary. At a classmate's reunion, I drink on behalf of the classmate who can't hold their liquor.
When the class gets seriously injured during training, in battle, or on an expedition, I'm responsible for getting everyone safely back to school...
As for being a coward? Sucking up?
No, that's just following my instincts and showing concern as class monitor!
The principal: ...
Have some shame. You make more money off them than you earn from me.
Qian Bolang: Hehe.
Watching his wallet grow fatter by the day, Qian Bolang is more than satisfied. Just as he's about to retire after a job well done, a group of classmates blocks his way out.
Deputy class monitor: "Monitor, I've contacted the best healing cultivators. They'll improve your constitution and make it possible for you to cultivate!"
Classmate A: "Monitor, my family owns a spirit stone mine, and we have plenty of cultivation resources. Come work for my family after graduation. I'll take care of you!"
Classmate B: "Monitor, you can't abandon me. Don't you remember the IOU you gave me? Don't you want those few million spirit stones back?"
Classmate C: "Monitor, don't worry about being unable to cultivate. I can make you a longevity pill."
Classmates × N: "Monitor..."
Qian Bolang panics and runs away in the middle of the night with his money bag.
I don't want to cultivate! I don't want to take pills either!
Let go of me! Let go!
