I Became a Monk at 20 and Saved Myself 40 Years of Detours

Ever since he was tricked into going up the mountain at twenty and became the sole heir to this rundown Taoist temple, Xu Yang knew his life was pretty much over.

Fortunately, his System awakened just in time.

To revive the Taoist faith and, while he was at it, make a tiny bit of money to get by, Xu Yang began livestreaming his laid-back life at the temple, casually showing off.

Before he knew it, he had become an online sensation.

Reporter: “You’re only twenty, the age when you should be working hard, yet you became a Taoist priest. Don’t you feel guilty?”

Xu Yang: “Then let me ask you: what are you working so hard for?”

Reporter: “To enjoy life!”

Xu Yang: “Then what do you think I’m doing now?”

Watching Xu Yang lie in the sunshine, looking utterly content, the reporter fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, comments flooded the livestream.

Viewer One: “Damn, Master Xu makes a good point!”

Viewer Two: “Becoming a Taoist priest at twenty saves you forty years of detours. He understands life way better than we do!”

Viewer Three: “Exactly! As long as I don’t work hard, the capitalists can’t suck my blood. I’m done being a corporate drone! Time to laze around~”
