Playing a Bandit Cultivator in a Text-Based Cultivation Game

Li Shanliang, a model citizen and secondhand black-market dealer, never expected to be associated with the ruthless world of bandit cultivators. Although he is only playing a text-based cultivation game, all of his in-game gains synchronize directly to reality! Faced with character creation choices ranging from an ordinary rogue cultivator to a mortal martial arts grandmaster, and finally to a Transcendent-tier bandit on the infamous "Rob-Me-Express" platform, Li Shanliang chooses the ultimate powerhouse without hesitation. However, a wildly unbalanced matchmaking system pairs his top-tier character with a lowly Qi-condensation novice, setting the stage for what he assumes will be an easy victory. He soon realizes this game is far more deceptive and dangerous than it appears, throwing him into an impossible predicament where even an almighty powerhouse can find himself utterly cornered.
