Xie Yan was an NPC in a game, and his specialty was repairing things. He had been conscious since the game was created, and by observing the players who came and went, he had learned a great deal.
Even the most glorious game eventually declines, and the game Xie Yan lived in finally reached its end. The last player left, the whole world went dark, and he lost consciousness too.
When his consciousness awakened again, he had transmigrated, bringing his skills with him to a cultivation world with a setting much like the game.
Xie Yan, who had once been a game NPC, was curious about this real world. He wanted to touch and look at everything, and because of his occupational habit, whenever he saw something broken, he couldn't help picking it up to fix it.
He picked up a broken sword, repaired it, and got a brand-new spiritual weapon.
He picked up an abandoned formation disk, repaired it, and got a perfectly intact formation disk.
He picked up a fluffy little creature that was disabled, repaired it, and got an adorable pet.
Cultivators: Master, please repair me!
Xie Yan loved this real world, and he loved mending anything that was broken.
But the more people there were, the more complicated things got. Some wanted to control Xie Yan to profit from him. Others were jealous and wanted to kill him.
Xie Yan: Actually, I don't just know how to repair things. I'm good at taking them apart, too. Repairing takes time and care, but dismantling something takes only an instant. I'm sure none of you would like to see what that looks like.
The cultivators who had been lucky enough to see Master Xie dismantle things: Don't provoke Master Xie. Whatever you do, don't provoke him.
Master Xie quietly repairing things is the most wonderful sight. For your sake, mine, and everyone's, please don't ruin it!
