Li Ming, a capital manipulator trained by an old fraud, was shot during his trial, and awakened in a world shaped by an extraordinary worldview.

Guided by bloodstained greed and a belief in the brilliance of money, he ruthlessly squeezes profit from every corrupt corner.

The brave ride dragons and tame tigers; the timid settle for cats and rabbits.

For a 10% gain, he stirs.

At 50%, he risks it all.

And when profit surpasses 100%, he dares to trample every law underfoot.

While the world watches in fear and fury, Li Ming sneers:

“Don’t shackle me with your morality or law, when money rises to speak, the truth has no choice but to shut up.”

This is an era of infinite possibilities, steam and steel, gears and clockwork. Steam power and differential engines symbolize the infinite future of human civilization. However, no one noticed that under the haze of steam and in the shadow of steel, the dark, mysterious mystery has never left. And a traveler from a foreign land will unveil the mysterious veil in this turbulent, free and dreamy world, and write his own history and legend

Jiang Yan is just an ordinary high school student, until one day, things around him start getting... strange.

“I don’t know what’s going on. Everyone looks terrified when they see me.

They say I torture my own kind, kill without mercy, that I’m some deranged monster.

But I’ve always been polite and kind. I respect my teachers, I’m good to my grandparents…

I don’t even know the people they’re talking about!

Doctor, can you tell me what’s happening to me?”

Doctor: “Sure, I can try. But… could you maybe put the knife down before we keep talking?”

...

In a world spiraling into chaos, filled with the strange and the supernatural, Jiang Yan finds himself surrounded by fear and suspicion.

He’s desperate to make things clear.

“I swear, I’m not the villain!”

In the cursed wasteland ruled by the lich lord, there is a new slogan that goes against the ancestors - [Replace the thousand-year sleep with the five-year plan, and make the skeleton soldiers the production model! ] When the soul of the traverser awakened in the body of the lich lord, he found that his territory was full of serfs who were so hungry that they gnawed the soil, and the rotten grass roots in the ground were dimmer than the soul fire in his eyes.

As a doctor of agronomy, he converted the skeleton hall into an agricultural laboratory overnight, and annotated the forbidden spells in the necromancy code one by one: [Rotting Plague = Organic Fertilizer Production Increase Technology], [Skeleton Reconstruction = Fully Automatic Seeding Puppet], [Forced Charm = Artificial Intervention in Livestock Breeding]...

When the Church Knights patrolled the cursed wasteland again after five years, the people of the Holy Light were directly shut down collectively - the Stitched Abomination was pruning the vines with six arms, and the skeletons...

The impoverished Chu Hao obtained a life selection system, which provided professional services without asking for anything in return, and he could get rewards upon completion.

I thought my life would turn around from then on.

Unexpectedly, the employer who wanted to have a child was not a human being. He failed to complete one of the high rewards given by the system and almost lost his life.

While escaping, I saw a woman in red standing on the bridge. The system gave me an option and I shouted, "Mom, save me!"

So he recognized the ghost as his mother.

Chu Hao realizes: "The higher the system reward, the higher the mortality rate"

…………

After living with the ghost mother for more than half a year, Chu Hao worked as an extra in a film crew to make a living and met a female ghost who played the role of a dead person.

Female ghost: "Can you do it, my brother?"

Option 1: [Kick the girl away and yell, "Get lost! You are so ugly, how can you deserve this?" to receive a luxurious funeral.]

Option 2: [Ignore the girl and pretend not to hear: get 100 stacks of ghost money. ]

Option 3: [Promise the girl's brother: gain physical strength +1]

He had no choice but to take the little ghost girl home. Fortunately, her mother was also a ghost, so he was safe.

…………

Also known as: (The little ghost girl recognizes me as her brother! It’s safe to say that her mother is also a ghost)

(If you accept a ghost as your mother, you will die if you are not steady!)

"In this life, I actually reincarnated as a mosquito. Alas, mosquito life is boring!"

"In this life, I reincarnated as a vulture. Alas, bird life is boring, better to just kill myself and return to the heavens!"

"..."

"In this life, I finally reincarnated as a human, but unfortunately, my talent is shallow, there's no path to immortality, and I can't reach the peak of martial arts!"

"In this life, I finally have a spirit root, but unfortunately, it's just a杂(miscellaneous) five-element spirit root. Cultivation is difficult, Foundation Establishment is difficult, and achieving the Dao is even harder!"

"This life failed again, let's see about the next one!"

My name is Jiang Yuan. Three lives as a human, a hundred lives to enter the Dao, and ten thousand lives to become an immortal!

Xia Ning traveled through the world of cultivating immortals and became a spiritual farmer disciple of the Shuiyun Sect, starting on a small spiritual island. I didn’t expect that when the spiritual plants mature, I would be able to reap extra rewards. "Harvest one acre of spiritual rice and gain three months of cultivation." "Harvest a jade spiritual fruit and gain the spell "Yi Mu Sword Technique." "Harvest a jade spiritual fruit and gain a golden sword talisman." ... From then on, Xia Ning devoted himself to farming on the Spiritual Island. The variety of spiritual plants increased, and the rewards he harvested were endless. Thousands of years later, when he looked back, he had already entered the realm of immortality.

Xu Qing woke up to find himself turned into a Zombie.

Zombies do not die; their life is endless, yet they suffer from the lack of a method to evolve and ascend!

Facing a chaotic era where ceremonies and music collapse, and demons and strange creatures emerge endlessly, Xu Qing chooses to remain under the radar and becomes the most inconspicuous Corpse Driver in the shadowy profession of corpse craftsman, earning various rewards by performing rites for the dead each day.

Be it folk arts, innumerable professions, or the nation's destiny and heaven's will, gods, ghosts, and the extraordinary, Xu Qing hides within a shop, mastering them all.

Watching clouds rise and fall, witnessing the dynasties change and old acquaintances fade; with eyes opening and closing, witnessing the vicissitudes of life, thousands upon thousands of years, my form remains unchanged, eventually becoming an eternal name among the immortals!
