Name: Ascension Begins with Investing in a Good-for-Nothing Disciple
Author: Spring Rain

Synopsis

Xie Fuyao, who doesn't want to go to work, transmigrates to the cultivation world and gets bound to an "Investment System," with countless spirit stones issued by the System.

Every time the cultivation level of someone she invests in rises by one stage, Xie Fuyao's cultivation and spirit stones double.

System: "Successful investments will let you return to Earth! Successful investments will let you ascend!"

Isn't this just one of those ten-thousandfold cashback systems from web novels?

Xie Fuyao doesn't want to go back to being a corporate drone, and she doesn't want to ascend and get beaten up in the upper realm either.

While fobbing off her rookie System, she does the opposite, investing in good-for-nothings with poor aptitude and poor character.

.

Xie Fuyao finds an abandoned girl with a useless spiritual root in the moat around the human city.

"Oh, a useless spiritual root? Great, I'll invest in you."

In less than three days, the girl with the useless spiritual root successfully draws qi into her body, shocking the whole sect!

The abandoned girl: "Fairy Xie is my reborn parent. I owe everything I am today to Fairy Xie!"

This is nothing like she expected.

She hears that half-demons cultivate the slowest, so at a demon auction, Xie Fuyao takes a liking to a young demon girl with a shattered demon core.

Xie Fuyao: "A half-demon with a shattered demon core probably won't even reach Foundation Establishment, right? I'll make a small investment!"

Later, the half-demon not only repairs her demon core, but becomes the ruler of the sea folk.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Xie Fuyao finds a human female cultivator in a secret realm, abandoned by her lover and fallen into a demonic abyss.

The female cultivator: "Master, I want to learn swordsmanship!"

This time, Xie Fuyao decides to up the ante. She deliberately gives her the worst sword and a sword manual she made up herself...

Under Xie Fuyao's tireless "misguidance," the female cultivator actually becomes the greatest sword cultivator under heaven.

"Master gave me a divine sword and taught me the ultimate cultivation method. I'd give you my life!"

Xie Fuyao: shattered.jpg

That drab-looking thing was a divine sword?

You really comprehended sword intent from the cultivation method I made up?

By this point, Xie Fuyao has become the most revered Immortal Venerable, and all her disciples are big shots.

Xie Fuyao can only smile bitterly :)

After picking up a dozen people who seem like good-for-nothings but are actually geniuses, Xie Fuyao decides to try investing another way.

This time, she'll pick up people everyone else calls geniuses!

And then...

Her new investment target obtains an immortal's inheritance in a secret realm and ascends after three years!

Xie Fuyao, carried along for the ride: My plan is truly ruined now. Every person I pick up has great fortune!

A friend's preorder: Double Ancestral Lineage [A money-loving, beauty-obsessed, alluring woman x a dignified, powerful official gradually driven to madness]

Her fiancé dies in battle before their wedding. The Pei family treats Sang Wu generously and lets her break off the engagement.

She can't bear to part with the lavish betrothal gifts, so she grits her teeth and goes through with the marriage.

She thinks she'll spend the rest of her life as a widow, waiting by the gate for a husband who will never return. But after she blindly goes through the wedding ceremony, the one who lifts her veil is her dead fiancé's half-brother.

The Pei family's fourth son, Pei Xu.

Pei Xu is widely read in the classics, refined and accomplished. Still young, he has already risen to the rank of Vice Minister, the pride of his family and the emperor's trusted confidant.

On their wedding night, Sang Wu thinks with satisfaction: So scholars can have this much strength after all.

.

Before he has even married, Pei Xu takes on the ancestral line for his sixth brother's new wife.

At first, Sang Wu is good for nothing in his eyes.

Vulgar, flashy, shallow.

He sternly warns her to behave herself. The two of them are only following their elders' wishes, ensuring the sixth brother has an heir and carrying on the family line.

Later, when word arrives that the sixth brother is returning to the estate, Pei Xu unexpectedly furrows his brow.

Sang Wu merely jokes, "Good things are sure to come," but after night falls, he strokes her slender, pale neck and angrily leaves a bite mark to assert his claim: "The younger brother succeeds the elder. This is done for the sake of propriety..."

"Sang Wu, you can only be the wife of Pei Si."

I'm Really Not a Goddess

Lin Xiya has recently become obsessed with a full-dive management game called QQ Supermarket.

She personally enters the game to run a supermarket, hire staff, stock and display goods, and sell all kinds of fruit and vegetables to earn coins... Every so often, she upgrades her little store and spends money in-game. Watching its daily revenue increase makes her feel very satisfied.

Gradually, Lin Xiya realizes that she seems to have transmigrated.

She works hard to earn a living in another world, living a quiet, ordinary life.

Until she sees the comments.

[Thank you for the Goddess's blessing! This must be an elixir!]

Lin Xiya stares blankly at the antacid tablets she just sold.

Wait, who said I was a goddess?

-

Overnight, legends of her spread throughout the Goldenbloom Dynasty.

After settling in a remote little city in the kingdom, the Goddess uses her divine power to protect the region.
