Don't Make Me Start a Rebellion!

[Pre-release: The Book Only Lucky Players Can See, asking all you lucky babies to add it to your collection! The blurb is below.]

Question: What is it like to transmigrate to ancient times?

Thanks for asking! Ji Xunshuang, wearing an icy, indifferent expression: A thatched hut from the start, and a debt of two thousand taels of silver. Hulking, muscular men block the door to demand payment, each as fierce as a wolf...

Honestly, he never expected to be this unlucky.

One moment, his head was scalded by lava, and he barely survived. The next, he transmigrated with the System he had designed himself!

Fine, he transmigrated. But his System somehow mutated, and gained a new feature... mind reading?

No, it should be called a mind-reading virus! (gritting his teeth)

According to the System core: To transmigrate back home, he must first uninstall the virus, which is the mind-reading ability. To uninstall the virus, he must build up his reputation and raise the virus, or mind-reading ability, to the max level.

Ji Xunshuang: Huh??

Building reputation to patch a virus? What kind of person would do that?

.

Before long, the virus-infected System issued him a bizarre main quest.

[Main Quest: Host, discover quests on your own and raise your mind-reading level.]

Ji Xunshuang: ...You've really mastered the art of saying nothing, haven't you?

What about the side quests?

[Side Quest: Unlock the Roster of Famous Generals and recruit the renowned generals of the realm into your ranks!]

Ji Xunshuang (on guard): Why do I need to recruit famous generals?

System: Hehe. For exactly what you're thinking.

Ji Xunshuang narrowed his eyes and asked again, unwilling to give up: Form a righteous band at Liangshan Marsh, and then... raise an army in rebellion?

System: Bingo!

The System glanced at Ji Xunshuang's expression and added hesitantly:

Besides becoming a rebel, Host can also unlock other questlines: charlatan, bandit, thief... Any path will do, as long as it raises your mind-reading level!

Ji Xunshuang: ...So not one of these questlines is normal?

Ha. You really are a fine System, one I designed myself.

.

The nation was impoverished and weak, its realm teetering in the storm.

Enemies like tigers and wolves massed at the palace steps, yet the court only wanted to cling to its scraps of land and indulge itself.

Standing on the far shore of this world, Ji Xunshuang saw a society split to the extreme.

On one side, the powerful lived in luxury and debauchery, while parasites endlessly reveled. On the other, taxes and levies were ruthlessly imposed, and the people suffered as if being roasted over a fire.

So in the end, he really did become a charlatan, a bandit, and a rebel.

If there were no soldiers, he would train them. If there were no food, he would stockpile it!

Soldiers crowded together, horses neighed. Cries rose to the clouds.

In this age of chaos, he insisted on taking up his spear and crossing every mountain and river. He would make his way, step by step, into this flourishing world!

Shen Cixia, a perpetually unlucky man, transmigrated!!!

Yes, as he was walking along minding his own business, a forklift fell from the sky and sent him flying.

And that wasn't all. His luck was bad enough to last eight lifetimes: he transmigrated into an infinite-flow world as a book in the System Shop, available for purchase.

A book with little use, one that could probably only be used to hit people, or, well, ghosts, with. A brick of a book.

Title: [Blank]

The inside really was blank. It cost only 250 points to redeem.

Shen Cixia: What a humiliation! What a humiliation!

Fine, make it cheap, but at least price it at 888 points, for goodness' sake!

The System told him that if someone bought him, he could share that person's lucky aura, then...

Turn into a human, form a team to clear instances, earn enough points, and escape the shop!

Shen Cixia: ...

Could someone silly enough to spend 250 points on this silly book survive a horror instance?

.

One day, he was squatting in a dark corner of the shop, growing mushrooms.

Someone poked him. Hey, was there really someone with more points than sense who would buy him?

According to the System, this person had unbelievably good luck and had just won a divine-grade item on the Lucky Wheel!

Shen Cixia: ...

When he sleeps at night, he'd better keep watch with one eye at a time!

But after he started teaming up with these peerless lucky players, more and more people bought him.

Damn it, they entered the instance as a team, so why was he the one targeted by the ghosts, chased by evil spirits, and stuck with every single bad thing that happened?

Meanwhile, the lucky players could casually pull out all kinds of glittering, gleaming items?

Shen, utterly exhausted, Cixia: Eat something good, you guys.

What? He gets a share of these goodies too? (Struggling to perk up!)

.

An unspoken secret circulated among players of infinite-flow games:

As long as your luck is good enough, you can draw a divine book from the System Shop.

They say the book is not only handsome, but can also guarantee players a 100% chance of clearing an instance and surviving!

So players began frantically fighting over and stockpiling lucky items, even throwing the currency system into chaos...

Shen Cixia, innocent and uninvolved: Sucking up all that lucky aura! Ah~ Burp!

Theme: Establishing a moral compass for the world and securing a livelihood for its people.
