The Savior Is Just Farming for Materials

[Slow Burn] Jiu Xiyang, a top-tier gamer, transmigrates into the hit single-player game *The Eight-Star Continent*. The good news: He knows the game inside out. He’s an expert on its historical background, combat system, boss mechanics, character relationships, and more. The bad news: The game’s main story begins a thousand years in the future. His experience will help, but only so much. The even worse news: The main story once mentioned that a cataclysm struck the continent a thousand years ago, killing 80% of its population. Jiu Xiyang: ... Jiu Xiyang: Well, there’s nothing for it. I’ll have to farm materials and level up to protect myself first. I just need to survive that cataclysm. A thousand years ago, the Eight-Star Continent was in turmoil. A sword mound lay buried beneath the golden sands, a firebird plunged into the sea of the Abyss, the world’s Mother Goddess slumbered at the end of the wind and smoke, and a meteor from beyond the world tore through the sky of dreams. At that moment, a mysterious organization of psychics suddenly appeared on the continent: the Divine Revelation Society. Its members used numbers as codenames. They could see the future and possessed great power. Appearing at the forefront of conflicts like saviors, they brought divine revelations to the people. Lost travelers, heed the divine revelation! Turn away from conflict and suffering, and become devout followers of the gods in a blissful ending! Jiu Xiyang, who gradually made friends all over the world by hitching rides to farm all kinds of materials: Wait, is this mysterious organization talking about our material-farming squad? Hitchhiked-on teammate No. 1: What do you think? (speechless.jpg) Hitchhiked-on teammate No. 2: Do you really have to ask? (shocked.jpg) Hitchhiked-on teammate No. 3: You know what excuses you’ve made up just to farm materials, right? (disdainful.jpg) Confused Jiu Xiyang: But I didn’t! I haven’t! I may have talked big, but I really haven’t done anything! Jiu Xiyang, who later became the strongest person on the continent after farming too many materials: Yes, you’re right. I really am the prophesied savior. (Gives up explaining) (Checks out) The continent’s eight great cities: Shattered Gold, Jade Leaf, Sourcewater, Crimson Flame, Shifting Sand, Flowing Cloud, Aurora, Abyss The eight psychic attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness Level cap: 120. Every ten levels, you need to farm breakthrough materials. The skills and traits gained from a breakthrough depend on the materials used. ● My take on a male-lead level-up power fantasy ● An overabundance of chuunibyou ● Not a misunderstanding-based story. No. 9 really is the savior. ● Lots of angst, and possibly a cast of beautiful, strong, tragic characters ● The main cast is entirely platonic ● The cover uses a template ● There will be lots of alternate illustrations, so you can save your pulls for the ones you like ( ● The chapter comments include watch-along reactions that may mention future plot points.
