[The upcoming novel "Starting as Cannon Fodder, I Draw Cards to Survive and Become a Lord" is in the author's catalog.]
Shuang Ling has a useless spiritual root, but by chance, she becomes the Immortal Venerable's personal disciple.
The sect is full of talented people, and every senior brother and sister is famous throughout the land.
Her powerful fellow disciples often tell her with great enthusiasm:
"Friend, would you like to learn about our great founding ancestor, the Goddess of Salvation?"
"Three thousand years ago, the demonic clans were crushing the immortal path, which teetered on the brink of collapse. Then the Goddess descended from the heavens and drove them back..."
Shuang Ling: "Stop right there. That's the seventy-eighth time I've heard this since joining the sect."
"Before the Goddess left, she gave our master dozens of her unique manuals, but no one has ever managed to understand them."
Her fellow disciples shake their heads regretfully, then smile brightly. "But you don't have to worry, Junior Sister. If you learn the sect's basic techniques before you're buried, you'll have done very well."
Shuang Ling: =_=#
-
Because Shuang Ling is frail and her spiritual root is rarer in its uselessness than any other, everyone in the sect, from the Immortal Venerable sect leader to the disciples who do odd jobs, feels sorry for her.
But one day, Shuang Ling wakes up and somehow finds that she has mastered the Goddess's manuals.
Her fellow disciples' expressions change. "Junior Sister Shuang Ling must have received the Goddess's guidance in secret. She is destined to shoulder the great responsibility of restoring the immortal path!"
Shuang Ling: "..." But my spiritual root is still useless!
The news reaches the demon realm and puts all the demons on alert. The Demon Venerable even sets out in person, determined to kill Shuang Ling before she can spread her wings.
But the moment he sees Shuang Ling, his pupils contract and he blurts out, "Master."
Shuang Ling: "???"
-
From then on, Shuang Ling's life becomes a living nightmare.
The people of the immortal path suspect her of pretending to be the Goddess's successor for publicity.
And whenever the Immortal Venerable is in a daze, he clutches her tightly in his room, calling her by the Goddess's name and trembling as he confesses his longing for her over the past three thousand years.
The demonic elders fear she'll grow into a second Goddess and urge the Demon Venerable to send troops to suppress her.
But in private, the Demon Venerable keeps calling her the first Demon Lord. He comes to meet her every few days, his murderous aura hidden, and obediently begs to be petted.
Shuang Ling, forced to play the stand-in for two divided identities: I'm tired. Just destroy the world already.
[Notes for readers]
1. Goofy everyday antics, monster battles, friendship, and romance, with plenty of plot.
2. The heroine joins the sect in Chapter 4, but Chapters 1-3 are important to the early plot, so read at your discretion.
3. The heroine has amnesia. The Goddess and Demon Lord are her old secret identities, and she also has another true form.
4. The true love interest is the Demon Venerable, an intensely devoted loyal dog. His true form is the heroine's old saber.
5. My take on a fantasy world, with no cultivation levels.
6. Please, please add the author to your favorites! Please! QwQ

[Upcoming novel] "Starting as Cannon Fodder, I Draw Cards to Survive and Become a Lord"
[Welcome to the Great Wilderness game world! Players, work hard to earn survival points and compete for the game rankings.]
[When your survival points hit zero, the System will erase you!]
Among one hundred thousand players, Qiang Baiyu is probably the most cannon-fodder-like of them all.
Constitution: F. Strength: F. Spiritual power: F. Growth: F. She starts out wandering the wilderness, without even salt to roast demon beasts with.
Luckily, her luck is S, and she manages to get herself an SSS-rank skill: "Card Master."
The game world is short on resources, disasters never stop, and strange creatures lurk everywhere.
The "Secret Keepers" roam the land, ready to challenge players to deadly wagers at any moment.
With her stats at the bottom of the server and death always around the corner, Qiang Baiyu has no choice but to follow a survival-at-all-costs path.
While players kill monsters to collect points, she throws capture cards at the monsters and sells them in one click to cultivators.
While players take part in life-or-death challenges, she runs between markets selling large quantities of supplies, pills, and spirit weapons.
As her capital grows, Qiang Baiyu unlocks access to higher-level card pools, and the things she draws become increasingly outrageous.
- Physical AI with a variety of functions: "Contract Dolls"!
- A divine spirit beast that evolves when fed: "Young Taotie"!
- A private base with customizable layouts: "Spirit Vein Manor"!
Qiang Baiyu changes her mind. Running around selling goods is way too much hassle. It would be much easier if customers came to her instead!
So she directs the dolls to build a manor and recruit companions, gradually expanding the base into a city.
The exhausted players, who have fought tooth and nail to survive, pass by the city and stare wide-eyed.
"No way! Hot springs, a food street, an equipment shop!"
"No way! Defensive mechanisms, a spirit herb garden, a spirit beast farm!"
"Isn't this supposed to be a resource-starved wasteland? Which big shot built all this?!"
The players approach the city lord with reverence, begging to stay and work so they can leave behind a life of gambling with their lives to earn money and being hunted by strange creatures.
But when they see Qiang Baiyu sitting on the throne, they're stunned.
...Isn't this the cannon fodder with terrible stats whom they drove away?!
Theme: Justice will ultimately triumph over evil
Recommended meals that have been prepared, you can view them in the column~ "How could the Taoist couple I picked up be the villain?" Two white-cut and black villains acted as undercover agents in Xianmen, falling in love and killing each other (*°▽°)?
To be honest, I quite like Ah Yan's woo woo
No, this is the first time I noticed this?? The main character and supporting characters are all moving cats.
Ahhhh, I still want to watch the extras
Don't be confused by the truth - the second clan - Mouth Escape!!!
The secret book of the Goddess - the mantra of not being confused - the strange yin and yang energy!!!
I'm curious, why doesn't the author turn his avatar into an animated picture? I have already taken the trouble to turn the character bar into an animated picture[666]
