Reincarnated as a Cannon Fodder, I Rage Against Mod 999

Xia Kongwang had thought she was just playing an ordinary single-player VR game.

But after entering the game, she was told by the System that she had arrived in a real cultivation world and become a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a Mary Sue novel, one who wouldn't survive past chapter three.

Now that things had come to this, the only way to find a sliver of hope was to complete her tasks and move the plot forward.

After listening to the little System's long-winded plan for staying alive, Xia Kongwang sneered. "What can I do in this game that a glorious, legitimate player can't?"

She immediately exited the game and angrily downloaded 999 overpowered mods from the official Creative Workshop, arming herself to the teeth.

At the cultivation world's century-old grand competition, the hero and heroine were supposed to shine and utterly crush Xia Kongwang.

Instead, she activated the [All Great Dao Comprehension] mod.

Formation Dao, Alchemy Dao, Artifact Dao; Sword Dao, Body Dao, Five Elements Dao. She won every single event. Elders from every sect hailed her as a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius, then wept over not taking her as a disciple back then, full of regret.

A dazzlingly talented male supporting character was frail and nearing the end of his lifespan. He was supposed to become the heroine's unattainable ideal, a lifelong regret.

Xia Kongwang immediately opened the [Herbs / Materials / Pills / Treasures / Manuals: All Types] mod.

With no side effects from pill poison, she cured the male character's incurable illness using a huge supply of high-level pills, restoring him to his former glory.

In no time, reclusive old monsters emerged from seclusion and gathered outside her cave, begging for a chance to trade for rare pills.

The demonic sect invaded, and wicked cultivators ran rampant. This was supposed to be an unsolvable crisis, with sect leaders dying in a brutal sacrifice and countless lives lost, marking a major turning point in the cultivation journey of the hero and heroine.

Xia Kongwang gave it a quick try and found that, sure enough, it was exactly as described.

She immediately reloaded to before the battle and installed mods like [Max HP 99999], [Max Divine Sense 99999], and [Max Spiritual Energy 99999], earning the [One Slash 99999] achievement. With one sword stroke, she killed the demonic leader. Her sword energy swept across the battlefield, leaving no demons alive.

"I didn't want things to turn out like this." Looking at the corpses strewn across the ground, Xia Kongwang sighed. "This completely throws off the balance. I wanted to experience the atmosphere of ordinary people cultivating immortality, of all beings being so insignificant."

With that, she turned to the System and asked, "By the way, what was that task you just mentioned?"

The System swallowed, dumbfounded, its mind going blank.

Damn it! Why can this woman use cheats in the cultivation world?!

Reader's guide:

1. A silly, brainless power fantasy. The heroine is adored by everyone and crushes the competition.

2. About [mods]: (quoted from Baidu) A game mod is a program that modifies or enhances a game. (Here, think of Steam's Creative Workshop.)

3. This is not a Fourth Calamity story. Only the heroine can truly connect to the cultivation world and travel between the two worlds.

4. Plot-focused, long-form story. The male lead is the sickly male supporting character from the blurb, and the heroine dotes on her husband.

5. That's all for now. I'll add more if I think of anything.
