4 我 My Life as a Daoist 我的修道生涯 Xiao Xiaosheng小小圣Xianxia1.1M WordsCompleted Time is the most superfluous thing to me as a cultivator. I've been terribly bored lately, so I was browsing the internet and came across an article called “We Post-80s, Our Generation!” I was quite surprised after reading it. I'm actually part of the post-80s generation too, but: I'm a genuine cultivator. When I was in elementary school, I had no idea what money was. By the time I was in college, I had already made some progress in cultivation. Money was just an external possession to me, and w 0Votes357.4kRecs391.5kFans

Time is the most superfluous thing for someone like me who's cultivating the Tao. Lately, I've been incredibly bored, browsing aimlessly online, when I came across an article titled "The Post-80s Generation: Us!" After reading it, I was quite surprised. Actually, I'm also a member of the post-80s generation, but: I am a true Taoist practitioner. When I was in elementary school, I didn't know what money was; When I was in college, I had already achieved some success in my spiritual practice. Money was something external to me, and I would donate any money I earned to the primary school in my hometown. When I graduated from university, while my classmates were struggling to find jobs that wouldn't let them starve, I was traveling and having a great time. While housing prices in the city are soaring, I live in the sky. While everyone around me struggles to find a wife because they don't own a car or a house, I'm slinking around in shame, hiding from the world. And yet, so many close female friends want to marry me… Why…! It's amazing how people from the same era can lead such different lives. Thinking about it, cultivating Taoism is still the best option!

7 异EN The Record of Unusual Creatures 异常生物见闻录 Yuantong远瞳Sci-Fi5.2M WordsCompleted Hao Ren is a good man, just as his name suggests. His ideal life is to get by in peace, renting out a modest home and making enough to live on without ever getting rich. At least, that was the plan before a bunch of lunatic creatures moved into his house. A remote, dilapidated mansion, a bunch of abnormal nonhuman creatures, and an employment contract from “the gods.” Put those three things together, and Hao Ren becomes the busiest landlord and most capable babysitter in the world. And so begins 101Votes6.1MRecs2.6MFans

Hao Ren, true to his name, is a good person whose ideal is to live a peaceful life as a landlord who is neither poor nor rich—at least that's how it was before a bunch of crazy creatures moved into his house. A secluded, dilapidated house, a bunch of somewhat abnormal non-human creatures, and a labor contract from a "god"—these three elements combined make Hao Ren the busiest landlord and most capable nanny in the world. Thus begins the most chaotic, strangest, and most abnormal landlord-tenant story. "From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a sinking ship..."

Its NPCs are every bit as clever as real people, if not more so. Aside from the extra menus and the ability to level up, is this really a game world? An outsider who shut his eyes, opened them, and suddenly found himself on a new map wants to escape the game. The road ahead is long and arduous.

In the eyes of players, the game world is indistinguishable from real people, or even more intelligent than NPCs. Apart from having multiple panels that can be upgraded incidentally, is this really a game world? The map suddenly changed when I opened and closed my eyes; I was an outsider trying to escape the game. The road ahead is long and arduous, in this world where familiar elements intertwine. Excuse me, how do I get out of here? Should the introduction be a bit more serious? Actually, I was planning to call it "The Journey of a Time Traveler"... A casual chat group: 257333096
