Cultivation Dynasty Simulator

My new novel, The Real Estate Tycoon of the Apocalypse, is now available. Go to my author page to read it. Chi Yixuan's soul transmigrated into the world of cultivation, where he discovered that everyone could summon a life-bound artifact to cultivate. The life-bound artifact he summoned was the game he'd made before transmigrating: Cultivation Dynasty Simulator. [Ding! Loading world map... Your Majesty, conquer the four seas, rule the eight corners of the world, hold the realm in your grasp, and ascend the throne!] Chi Yixuan: ... [You have gained a subject. Your cultivation has increased by 1.] [Your subject's cultivation has increased. Your cultivation has increased by 100.] [You sent troops to attack the XX Sect. Your territory has expanded. Your cultivation has increased by 1,000.] The Immortal Longevity Realm was dotted with immortal sects, but it was a cruel world where the strong preyed on the weak. One day, a small nation was founded. At first, everyone thought it was just another lackey helping a sect train ordinary mortals. Then they discovered that everyone in the country was equal, and even cultivators had to pay with their lives for killing mortals. The country had a market supervision bureau, and the law protected business dealings, so there was no need to worry about being cheated out of one's fortune. The country cared for the old and the poor, providing for the elderly and sheltering the young, and every citizen could live with dignity. Even cultivators from Immortal Continent grew curious and longed to see it. Towering buildings, entertainment networks, public transportation... These were things they'd never seen before! Every citizen held their ruler in the highest regard, and tales of Chi Yixuan spread throughout the Immortal Longevity Realm. The sect prodigies who had always held themselves above others were won over by him and willingly pledged their service; The famous beauties in red fell for him and exchanged their red dresses for battle robes; The unruly saber wielders joined his ranks and fought on his behalf... When people spoke of Chi Yixuan, they called him noble, magnanimous, and a once-in-ten-thousand-years sage. The thousand-year-old immortal sects believed Chi Yixuan must have some ulterior motive for keeping so many mortals around. They waited and waited, but instead of seeing him sacrifice the mortals, they saw their own sects destroyed and their descendants defecting in droves. So they decided Chi Yixuan was an otherworldly demon who bewitched people's hearts. Chi Yixuan, cringing so hard he could dig a hole through the soles of his shoes: ... Honestly, he just wanted a modern life in the cultivation world, with food delivery at home and a subway when he went out. But people kept getting in his way, so he might as well go crazy. His mental state was absolutely wonderful every single day! In short: It's a story about someone constantly building infrastructure so he can enjoy a modern lifestyle in the cultivation world. It has lots of original worldbuilding and differs from mainstream cultivation novels. Upcoming novel: The Real Estate Tycoon of the Apocalypse Real Estate Tycoon is a house-building game. New components are released every week to fulfill players' wildest construction ideas. Chi Yu was a socially anxious recluse who didn't like interacting with people. To focus on his game, he stockpiled several months' worth of food and happily settled into life at home. Three months later, the community he'd built to resemble the neighborhood nearby was finished, and he'd run out of food. Chi Yu went to the supermarket downstairs to restock and found the neighborhood deserted. He could barely see anyone. The supermarket employees smiled brightly and looked a little like the NPCs he'd created in his game. A few dusty people who looked like migrant construction workers were squatting by the shelves and shouting in bewilderment. Chi Yu didn't pay them much attention. He paid quickly and hurried home, breathing a sigh of relief before going inside: That was close! I nearly had to say hello to someone! Back at home, he saw that the game had updated and unlocked the property sales feature. He cheered: Yay! Now I can sell houses to the little people and earn coins! The apocalypse arrived, and monsters ran rampant. Like everywhere else, Happy Neighborhood was reduced to ruins. Three months later, survivors returned to the area around Happy Neighborhood to look for supplies, and were shocked to find it still standing, completely intact. Not only that, but the neighborhood was well-equipped, the supermarket was fully stocked, and the shop assistants were warmly welcoming. It was almost like returning to life before the apocalypse. The survivors didn't want to leave. Just then, a property manager came over and asked with a smile: “Would you be interested in buying a home here? The first ten buyers get an employee discount!” Top Secret File, Zone One: “The Dreamer” This is a special entity that is benevolent toward humanity. No one has ever seen its true form. After exhaustive research, we know only that it favors orderly architecture and sunny weather. Since Zone One exists as a result of its imaginings, we call it the Dreamer. Remember: Keep your distance. Remain silent. Do not shatter its fantasies. Theme: Create a legend with an ordinary heart.
