Xu Chen's high school grades were not ideal.

After stumbling into the third year of high school, the system for the out-of-date idol’s counterattack was suddenly loaded.

[At 20, while still in college, you participated in a trainee audition and debuted with a huge gap thanks to your incredible looks and... looks.]

.....

At 32, at the peak of his career, he was framed by rivals and those close to him, exposing a "concubine selection" scandal that catapulted him to infamy and online outrage. Although the accusations were later dismissed as malicious, the exorbitant penalty for breach of contract had already drained him dry, leaving him penniless.

At 35, you were alone in a rented apartment of less than ten square meters, swallowing your resentment and regret with a glass of cheap liquor, and roaring angrily at your decadent self in the mirror.

You said this is me? This is not me! Xu Chen felt confused.

...

Three months before the spiritual energy eruption, Lin Qian's study was kicked open by his granddaughter: "Grandpa, three years from now, Anqing City will be razed to the ground by the beast tide, and our entire clan will be wiped out!"

Lin Qian remained calm and immediately opened the system: [Today's check-in location: Lin Family Manor, Reward: 1 Hundred-Year Blood Qi Pill]

From then on, Lin Qian began a frenzied hoarding spree—of rare medicinal herbs?

Three hundred billion yuan poured in, and the Southwest market was emptied! Strategic land?

Thirty square kilometers of barren mountains west of the city were transferred to the Lin family overnight!

Martial arts resources? Sign in to get the "Azure Wood Technique" and "Draw Sword Slash"—you can increase your cultivation even while lying down!

On the day the spiritual energy erupted, while others were still in a daze, Lin Qian had already broken through to the second rank; when the beast tide came, while others couldn't even pierce the hides of the strange beasts with their guns, Lin Qian cleaved a third-rank blue wolf in two with a single stroke, and even complained: "This wolf meat isn't as fragrant as the medicinal herbs from the spiritual veins."

Looking at the warehouse full of resources and her grandfather's fourth-grade cultivation level, Lin Yunshi cried, "If I had known my grandfather was this powerful, why did I self-destruct in my past life!"

Lin Qian patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, you'll be in charge of Anqingcheng Martial Arts University from now on, and Grandpa will continue to sign in and stock up on supplies. I guarantee you'll be able to walk sideways!"
