[System] [Intelligence] [Steam]

The Old Gods' tentacles spread across the continent, strangling every potential rise of power. That is until a traveler from a foreign land arrived, becoming the humblest being of the Industrial Age: the Gray Mouse.

"Don't see me, don't see me."

From building infrastructure in the sewers, he developed into the unseen Sherlock Holmes, establishing the Mouse's underground intelligence network.

Steam and steel, Old Gods and potions, technology, relics, faith, miracles, magic, dragons... A new era, the wheel of time rolled in. Unexpectedly, the Old Gods were met head-on by a Gray Mouse wielding a staff.

"Look at me, I tell you to look at me, you cub!"

The whispers of the old gods enveloped the entire continent, potions flowed quietly in dark alleys, and the shadow of a dragon passed over the steam-filled city dome. A stranger was reborn as the most humble being in this world—a gray mouse. However, he started from the dark sewers, step by step farming, infrastructure construction, alliances with foreign races, and deciphering lost runes. The roar of steam resonated with the whispers of magic, the gears turned, and the dragon flapped its wings. He transformed into the "Sherlock Holmes" detective who had never appeared before, weaving an underground network that spanned races and classes, vowing to break the oppression of theocracy and use the power of machinery, magic, and faith to create a new era of civilization for all intelligent creatures, sharing, and co-governance. ——When he first stepped into this world, Lu Ran had only one self-deprecating sentence: "I, Mouse, am going to die this time..."

[Talent][Survival at Sea][Special Ships][Sequence][Cthulhu] On this treacherous and terrifying boundless sea, a lucky few possess special ships. For example, there's the Devourer, capable of absorbing the abilities of other ships. Then there's the Adventurer, with its keen sense of treasure, its giant compass exploring the secrets of the ocean. And there's the Alliance of research ships that firmly believe in the fragility of flesh and the ascension of machinery. But Shen Bai, arriving on this ocean, is almost in despair. The good news is, he's lucky; his ship is special. The bad news is, the ship is broken! Fortunately, Shen Bai finds his second talent in a treasure chest—a talent that allows him to extract tags from his body and resynthesize them based on different characteristics! Shen Bai's imagination runs wild with different characteristics and talents! [Characteristics...]

Gods, dragons, Titans, demons... Ron knew that even the most gifted humans were mere ants before the gods. He simply wanted to use his cheat code, which allowed him to see and cultivate talent attributes, to create a utopia where he could live comfortably. Osteoporosis → Strong Body → Diamond Body → Massive Strength → Divine Power → Ghostly Rare → Legendary → Mythical. Simply complete the trials and your talent attributes will be upgraded! ———One day. "Where's Sebas? Where's my butler Sebas!" "Report to the Lord, Butler Sebas has led a hundred cavalrymen to attack the imperial capital." "Wait! Who told him to attack the imperial capital!" "It was you... When you were drunk last night, you cursed the corruption of the empire, and said... and said..." "What did I say?" "You said it was time for the Golden King to abdicate..." "So he led people to attack the imperial capital!? What a joke! He's 70 years old! He even needs a cane to walk! Go and call him back! A hundred people attacking the imperial capital, isn't that nonsense!" "Report! Urgent news! Butler Sebas has broken through the imperial capital! He invites you to go to the imperial capital to be crowned!" "Ah?!"

As an ordinary urban worker, pressured by my family to get married, I chose blind dates over working like a slave in the big city. I spent 1998 yuan to hire a matchmaking agency, who claimed to be matching me with the best possible match. But my first blind date was a fox demon persecuted by her half-sister, whose tail I accidentally caught… My second blind date was a female cultivator ostracized by her fellow disciples, who insisted on taking me flying on a sword over the sea… This is outrageous! This matchmaking agency is definitely suspicious; they hired two mentally ill people to arrange blind dates! One is a cross-dresser, the other has delusions! Damn it! Refund! Just then, the matchmaking agency arranged a third blind date—[Author of "My Beautiful Teacher," "My Fox Fairy Wife," "My Wife is a Martial Arts Master"...]

After waking up, Su Ran finds himself dragged into a bizarre “Dormitory Survival Game.”

Strange rules, ghosts roaming, a countdown to death… to survive, he must defend his “dormitory” for five days, or else—death!

Fortunately, his outrageous luck kicks in, and he awakens a heaven-defying Talent System, allowing him to draw a different rule-based talent every round.

At the start, he draws [100% Barehanded Blade Catch]!

Ghost attack? Kneel!

Player ambush? Kneel!

A limbless monstrosity? Heh—unworthy of existence, instant kill!

However, as the game deepens, Su Ran suddenly realizes that behind this game lurks a far greater secret, and even the existence of the heaven-defying Talent System itself seems to hold a hidden mystery…

Qin Xuan traveled through a fantasy world and became a demonic disciple of the Sword Sect. Luckily, he possessed a golden finger that protected him from danger and brought him peace. He had imagined he could roam freely within the Demon Sect, but reality was far different. Cultivating immortality was no longer a matter of purifying one's mind and understanding the Way of Heaven, but a naked game of capital. Gou Ri's Chusheng Demon Sect had taken this financial system to its extremes. Spiritual blood, physical body, and soul... everything was hard currency that could be used to finance immortal cultivation. Blood loan imprints, physical transformations, soul mortgages... everything fell under the control of capital. [Spiritual Roots] = [Original Shares] = [Reincarnation Techniques] [Gongfa] = [Means of Production] [Patents] [Exploration of Secret Realms] = [High-Risk Investment] [Project Venture Capital] [Killing and Seizing Treasures] = [Malicious Mergers and Acquisitions] [Non-Performing Asset Recovery] [Heavenly Tribulations] = [Systemic Financial Risk] [Forced Liquidation] [Daoist...]

This is a brilliant and prosperous extraordinary city. Some people are in high spirits, while others are living on the streets. With the majestic revival of spiritual energy, there are endless possibilities... But in the remote corners, the national martial arts are gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

Unfortunately, Gu Qing, who traveled through time, happened to be the last martial arts master of the Xuanxia Empire...and faced with the surging wave of anti-martial arts.

He sighed.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the life simulator... Click... Negotiating with the cloud raising system... Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the simulated cloud raising system! ]

Gu Qing: ? ? ? I know the simulator, and I also know the cloud raising system, but what the hell is simulated cloud raising?

[In order to comply with the call for cost reduction and efficiency improvement! This system integrates the shuttle between the heavens and the world, the rebate of cloud raising characters, and the settlement of the simulation system! ]

Gu Qing: Speak human language.

[Two-world Gate + Possession Flow + System Flow]

Gu Qing: 6.

...

Melting the laws of the heavens, and opening the door to the modern martial arts!

From the last master who was regarded as a mascot to the land immortal who shocked the world! From the revival of spiritual energy and supernatural powers to the rise of martial arts!

Holding the sun and the moon in my hands and picking the stars, there is no one like me in the world!

Turning my hand to make clouds, turning my hand to make rain, maneuvering and turning the world upside down!

Countless years later.

Gu Qing sat on the vast fairy court, looking at the masters of the other world who broke through the barriers of the world. They all looked resentful. These were the girls he had possessed.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled and said, "You were so well-behaved back then, but now you are more troublesome than the other. Come on together."
