A heart for Skadi! Two sandwiches filled with cheese!

Do you know what 325 is?

There really are cockroaches in my rented room, but I don't know many cockroaches.

Battlefield Operations: There are no weak operators, only doctors who don't know how to play.

Kingslayer Miner, Siren Rhythm Game, Terra Fire and Ice...

Player: "So Frostnova is joining Rhodes Island as promised? Okay, okay, is that how she's going to join?"

"2-1 The Journey to Dragon Gate, 15-11 The Wasteland Where Gods Witnessed Death."

"Brother Chuan, I beg you, please have some decency! Stop throwing knives!"

"Sound Corner Network is a murderer!"

Gu Chuan: "Interesting, this is exactly the scene I wanted to see!"

[Foundation] — [System] — [Refreshing Story] — [Containment Team] — [No Female Lead]

Human beings have been living for 250,000 years, but only the last 4,000 years are meaningful.

So what have we been doing for nearly 250,000 years? We've been hiding in caves, sitting around small campfires, fearing things we don't understand—explanations of how the sun rises, monsters with human heads and bird bodies, living stones. So we call them "gods" and "demons," and ask them for forgiveness and pray for salvation.

Then, their numbers decreased, and our numbers increased. As we feared fewer things, we began to view the world more rationally. However, the inexplicable things did not disappear, as if the universe deliberately chose to appear absurd and inexplicable.

Humanity can no longer live in fear. Nothing can protect us; we must protect ourselves.

While others live in the sunlight, we must fight them in the shadows and prevent them from being exposed to the public eye, so that others can live in a rational, ordinary world.

We control, we contain, we protect.

[An anomaly detected; system activated]

[Identification code: 001]

[The current top leader of the foundation has been confirmed as Wu Feng]

[Please take on the important task of the Foundation for the Reconstruction of the Universe]

[Our Last Hope]

Level 1: Automatically earns 1 yuan per second. Level 2: Automatically earns 2 yuan per second. Level 3: Automatically earns 4 yuan per second. ... Level 10: Automatically earns 512 yuan per second, a daily income of 40 million. My house is only slightly bigger than others'; I come from an ordinary family. I have face blindness, I really do. I don't love money, really!

One day, many doors suddenly appeared in the world.

At the same time, a power called "Truth" resonates throughout the world.

Someone awakens to the truth of Newton, the father of mechanics, and learns the magic of manipulating gravity to make things fall from the sky.

Someone awakens to the truth of Oppenheimer, the nuclear demon: with a wave of his hand, a city falls into desolation.

Some have awakened to the truth of the banished immortal Li Bai, singing and drinking to admire the snow-covered sword, soaring straight to the heavens to grasp the moon.

Some have awakened to the truth of Azathoth, the god of blindness and folly, and wish to shroud the world in a fog of delusion.

Science, literature, theology... When all the familiar written words become incredible and extraordinary mysteries, where should we, in our ignorance and folly, go?

[Bang/GBC] [Male Protagonist Harem] Imaizumi transmigrated with a money-losing system. As a transmigrator, he knew the system's tricks all too well. No matter how outrageous his investments were, he would always end up making money in unexpected ways, only to lose money and be ridiculed by the system. So, what if he did the opposite, only investing in popular projects, turning the tide and making money proactively? "Girls' band era should be all-in on LiveHose. Invest in the area surrounding this SPCE LiveHose!" "Toyokawa Real Estate announced the development of a villa area around the port area? As expected of the confidence of the old generation of zaibatsu, bands can't make as much money as real estate, go all-in on Toyokawa Real Estate stock!" "veMjic is a truly genius band plan, and the lineup is top-notch. National tour? Go all-in with loans! Contract all Mjic band concerts in the Kansai region!" In the end, Imaizumi watched himself closely follow the Toyokawa Group, accumulating debt, then becoming rich overnight, then accumulating debt again, then becoming rich overnight once more... He and the money-losing system fell into deep thought. Losing Money System: "No, you really lost money?" Imaizumi: "Never mind that. The key thing now is that I suspect the Toyokawa family also has a losing money system."

Eighteen years after transmigrating to the world of cultivation, the belated system suddenly arrives!

The excited Long Tao was not greeted with the treatment of a protagonist, but rather...

"Binding error. The host is not the chosen one. Since the binding cannot be removed, please complete the system task in place of the chosen one. Please also transfer any opportunities and rewards obtained during the task to the chosen one. Task failed: death."

Faced with this ridiculous situation, he could only be forced by the system to do tasks that were not his responsibility.

However, those missions that are just the right level of difficulty for the chosen ones and fit the plot of a wish-fulfillment novel are a matter of life and death for him, a minor character who is only at the Qi Refining stage! Just figuring out how to safely sneak into the mission site is enough to make him worry until his hair turns white.

What's even more breathtaking is that the true chosen one's cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds! While Long Tao is still struggling to break through the Qi Refining bottleneck, the other party has already made great strides to the late Foundation Establishment stage and is about to form the Core! The difficulty of the missions has also skyrocketed, becoming more and more outrageous with each one.

Thus, an ordinary disciple with only Qi Refining cultivation often appeared mysteriously at top-level events where powerful figures gathered!

......

"Please go to the 'Demon Burial Abyss' immediately, sign in at the core area of ​​the battle between the Demon Lord and True Lord Luo Hong, and stop the two from fighting on behalf of the Chosen One."

"I'm supposed to reach Foundation Establishment tomorrow! System, I'm begging you, please let me off this time?!"

Renci, a renowned online novelist known as "Renci," the legendary author of classic novels such as *Phoenix Clan* and *Eight Continents*, was hailed as one of the most commercially successful writers of Generation Z, the youngest billionaire writer of the 21st century, and the writer with the greatest IP adaptation potential. In July 2024, Renci died. However, instead of receiving blessings from netizens, he was met with vicious curses. "I would feel sorry for other authors who die, but for this one, I can only wish him well." "Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. He sold over ten books after only a few years on BYD, and then acted arrogantly upon release." "Not long ago he was arguing with readers on Bilibili, and now he's dead. Karma is something else." "Sigh, the only pity is that *Phoenix Clan* may never have a fourth volume." "Don't worry, even if he were alive, he wouldn't have published a fourth volume, and given his skill level in life..."
