Every day, I confine myself to Mount Liyun—an almost deserted place, where survival in this world is like walking on a razor's edge. Without spiritual roots, no one cares, and no one helps. I even started to lose hope.
But one night, as I sat lost in thought on the edge of a cliff...
Ding!!! [Congratulations! You have completed all registration tasks. You have earned 999,999,999 Sky Credits.] [The system will use the Sky Credits to upgrade the system and unlock Xuanchuan services.]
I stared in disbelief.
"Whoa?! Could it be... my cheat system has finally appeared?!" I jumped to my feet, my eyes full of hope.
Ding!!! [System upgrade complete. Xuanchuan services are now unlocked. Enjoy the features of Xuanchuan Store.]
I scrolled through the screen that appeared before me—and in that moment, my expression changed.
"WHAT IS THIS?!"
In front of me was just a list of items—a spiritual pot, a healing mattress, a jade back scratcher, even an automatic wardrobe!
No cultivation techniques. No sword arts. No strength upgrades. Just... a store. A shopping system.
That system... That damn system... had prepared everything for three years... only to open... an Online Store?!
"ARGHHHHH!!!"
I screamed to the sky. The night sky remained silent, as if mocking me. And under the moonlight, Li Feng stood—just an ordinary mortal, whose cheat system... was useless.
"Argh! I'm going to die soon!!" I shouted in frustration, hoping lightning would strike and end it all.
But what came... was not lightning, but another notification.
Ding!!! [Would you like to use Sky Credits to purchase "Hell Spicy Instant Noodles"? Additional effect: It will reignite your will to live. Price: 3 Sky Credits.]
"...WHAT'S THE POINT OF INSTANT NOODLES IN A CULTIVATION WORLD?!"
I wanted to throw the system into a ravine. But I was too hungry. With a sour face, I selected "YES."
Without realizing it, I began using Xuanchuan services daily—food, reading books, tending to the fields, managing the pond, taking care of the pavilion, using the tools I bought from Xuanchuan Store.
Days passed by. The system I once hated... slowly became a part of my life.
I built a small hut using the Xuanchuan Store Construction Pack – Beginner's Edition. I planted vegetables with the Automatic Moisture Keeper Hoe. I even created a private fish pond... and named it: "Pavilion of Suffering."
"Ahh, look at that," I sighed with satisfaction, staring at my little field. "Who said you need to be a cultivator to live happily?" "Ah, living like salted fish isn't so bad," I muttered, reading a comic book I bought from Xuanchuan Store for 5 Sky Credits.
Ding!!! [Congratulations! You have earned the reputation "Salted Fish Hermit of Mount Liyun"] [Bonus: Please select one of three robot dolls. This is a rare premium gift for the host.]
"Are you still joking, you bastard?!" Li Feng shouted angrily.
Please choose one from the following three options:
1. Mermaid Demon, a beautiful demon servant, can serve you in any way.
2. Lazy Dog, a dog who only knows how to eat.
3. Stupid Little Bear, a robot toy bear for children.
Without thinking, among all the choices, only the first one seemed somewhat normal. Li Feng picked option number one, but the damn system suddenly malfunctioned, and by accident, Li Feng selected the Stupid Little Bear instead.
"Damn system, you're messing with me! You just want me to suffer!" Li Feng screamed in frustration.
Ding!!!
[Congratulations! You have selected "Stupid Little Bear – Cheerful Kid Version." Activating daily companion protocol...]
Suddenly, a light shone from the sky. A small object shot down and plopped! It landed right on my face.
"Ugh!! What is this?!"
The object rolled onto the ground... and slowly stood up.
A small bear, no taller than my knee, with big round eyes and a permanently foolish grin.
"Chit chit." I froze. The bear jumped into my arms without permission.
"GET OFF ME, YOU STUPID LOLLIPOP!!!"
