The Top Prodigies' Fishing-for-Trouble Group: A Record

Before transmigrating, Yu Ning was a top student and a champion crammer. After transmigrating, she decided to be a happy slacker.

Anyone who's done group projects in college knows that rank too high and the teacher will rope you into extra work; rank too low and you won't get any resources.

After getting into Lingxiao Sect, the highest academy in the cultivation world, she made a habit of slacking off while holding on to eleventh place on the Prodigy Rankings.

With powerful people covering her in front and someone to catch her if she fell behind, life was great.

Then the new rankings came out, and she was in first place.

Yu Ning: !!!

The medical cultivator who used to rank fifteenth spent every day trying to blow up her furnace. She never expected the secret realm to have cameras. She casually pulled out a pill to save a teammate, and suddenly she was in the top ten.

The talisman cultivator, who had been stuck at thirteenth for years, saw the medical cultivator at fifteenth bring someone back from the brink of death with one pill. To hold on to thirteenth place, she casually pulled out a talisman to attack a monster. The monster died too quickly, and she shot up to seventh.

The formation cultivator, steady at twelfth, gave it some thought. If the talisman cultivator at thirteenth could take out a second-tier monster with one talisman, she ought to show what she could do too. Maybe use seventy percent of her strength? Why were you all pretending to be ordinary people too?!

Later, the group was forced to team up and sent down the mountain to do hard labor. Everyone fell silent.

How was everyone trying to hold on to their rank, only to end up competing with each other after all?

#They thought the people above and below them were ordinary, so they gave it their all to hold their places and got dragged into the rat race#

#She only wanted to play the pig to catch the tiger, so why was even pretending to be a pig so hard?#
