Because being a genius is only the first step toward meeting her.
Reading guide and content warnings:
1. This is a prequel to I Really Am Just a Good-for-Nothing, I Swear, starring the protagonist Qin Nianwan.
2. A power-progression story with a lone-wolf focus. Compared to the main novel, this heroine is more inclined to act decisively and speak little, completing missions on her own while steadily increasing her combat strength. (But her power is already top-tier when she starts taking missions; she's simply always pushing past her own limits.)
3. As before, this is an ensemble story centered on the heroine's missions.
4. The heroine's life as a heaven-blessed genius is immensely satisfying, but the supporting characters have mixed fortunes, with more sorrow than joy.
Blurb:
The day Qin Nianwan was born, she didn't cry. She simply opened her eyes and curiously looked at the people around her, at the world.
Later, countless experts scrambled to become her teacher. The supreme divine arts and cultivation techniques other people could only dream of were hers to pick and choose from, as though she were granting them a favor by selecting a few.
Yet Qin Nianwan still felt lost, because she didn't know what to do with all this power.
Rule the world? No interest. Rather than become one of those so-called superior people, Qin Nianwan would rather have a steaming bowl of pork noodle soup.
Later, everyone told her to follow Bai Guang. She was a good person.
When Qin Nianwan met her at fifteen, the other woman was middle-aged, with a few strands of silver in her hair.
"Xiao Wan, I need you. The bureau needs you, and this world needs you too."
Qin Nianwan felt no particular emotion. She seemed to understand that the woman wanted her to become her sharpest sword.
She simply thought, Fine. Since you need me, and you're a good person, I'll help you.
After all, good has always triumphed over evil, hasn't it?
And she had always carried out missions alone.
A naturally gifted psychic who can take on a hundred people by herself? Down in a second.
An evil overseas organization with hundreds of members studying and dissecting psychics? Down in a second.
An elf who has lived for hundreds, even thousands of years? Down in a second.
An awakened ancient beast? Down in a second.
Whether the target was human or not, one person or hundreds or thousands,
Qin Nianwan treated them all the same: one opponent, one takedown; a whole group, and she sent them all flying with a slap.
Qin: Hello? Here I come! (Smiling, hand raised to slap)
