It was a scorching summer day, and cicadas were chirping impatiently outside the window.
Shu Lan was enjoying an ice pop in her air-conditioned room, flipping through her newly bought magazine, feeling quite content.
"Cousin, cousin!" a voice called from afar, "I'm so angry I could die!" The bedroom door was flung open with a bang. A figure in a red dress burst in.
"What's wrong? Nan Nan, what happened?"
"It's from a novel I just read! They killed off my favorite villain!" my cousin Bai Nannan said angrily.
"That's it? You can't be serious, can you?" Shu Lan looked at his cousin with amusement.
"You don't understand! You have no idea how pathetic the villains are!"
"Let me tell you, the protagonist in this novel, 'The Carefree Immortal Ascension,' is practically cheating his way through the entire story. His cheat abilities are ridiculously powerful, and he has everything go smoothly. The characters in the novel are completely brainless, as if they've lost their intelligence. They all rush to give the protagonist equipment and experience points."
"The main character needs to be written in a fun way for people to read it."
"But I don't like him." Bai Nannan stomped her foot angrily.
"Let's look at the villain. The villain is such a pitiful little thing! He was sold into slavery from a young age and suffered all the hardships of the world. He finally climbed to the position of Demon Lord step by step, but he still had to be suppressed by the protagonist and was killed by the protagonist with a sword through his heart." Bai Nannan wandered around the room and picked up a cushion.
"Give me back my Demon Lord! Give me back my Demon Lord!" Bai Nannan waved the pillow around, then kept hitting Shu Lan with it.
"Hey! It's not like I wrote your villain to die. Why are you hitting me?" Shu Lan was a little annoyed.
"Ugh! I'm so angry! That author is a jerk! I'm so mad!" With that, Bai Nannan threw down her pillow and stormed out.
Shu Lan picked up the cushion from the ground, patted off the dust, and gently shook her head.
September 1st, the start of the new school year, arrived quickly. Shu Lan stepped off the train with her suitcase, ready to register at Nanjing University.
Shu Lan just turned 18 this year and achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination, gaining admission to the prestigious Nanjing University.
In the morning, after my parents gave me countless instructions, I boarded the train and arrived at my destination in the afternoon.
Shu Lan, pulling her suitcase, waited for the traffic light across the street.
Suddenly, the crowd became agitated. Shu Lan looked up and saw a huge crack appear in the sky. People quickly made way, pointing and gesturing at the sky.
Suddenly, Shu Lan felt an immense force pulling him towards something. With a "whoosh," Shu Lan was sucked into the crack in the air!
"Oh no! I think I sucked someone in!" A faint voice came from the air. Then, the crack closed automatically, leaving no trace.
"Tell me what's going on here?" Shu Lan's semi-transparent figure floated in a void. Standing opposite Shu Lan was an old man with white hair, dressed in a gray robe. At this moment, he was grinning and joking with Shu Lan.
"Well, young friend, it was an accident. While I was organizing the world, I accidentally opened a spacetime rift. And that's how I sucked you in~"
"Oh? So my body is now..."
“That…” the Book God rubbed his fingers together, “your body fell into a spacetime rift and turned into nothingness.”
"I don't care, all I need to do now is go back." Shu Lan said coldly.
"Well, there's no way to go back for the time being. Besides, you've already entered the world of the God of Books."
"You're the God of Books? Then which book am I in right now?"
"The Immortal's Carefree Journey"
A subtle glint appeared in Shu Lan's eyes. What a twisted fate! Her cousin had just complained about this book to her not long ago, and now she found herself transmigrated into it.
"As far as I know, this book is set in a fantasy world. I'm a model citizen, and you want me to stay in this world of fighting and killing? Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me? I want to go back!"
"No! No!" The Book God's hand moved in a blur. "I'll make it up to you, okay?"
The Book God flicked his wrist and summoned ten orbs of light. "I bestow upon you the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator and top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Roots, namely, a top-grade Ice Spiritual Root, a top-grade Water Spiritual Root, and a top-grade Wood Spiritual Root."
"I'll also give you three sacred artifacts corresponding to your spiritual roots: Ice Spirit Burning Flame, Wood Spirit Birth Flame, and Taiyin Water Flame. Isn't that generous enough?"
"I also bestow upon you the Myriad Spirits Body. This is an extraordinary constitution. It is in harmony with heaven and earth, in accord with all things, and will even make heavenly tribulations give way when you are undergoing tribulation."
"There is also a book called the Ancestral Spirit Scripture, which is a top-tier cultivation technique that surpasses the entire continent. It can transform the spiritual energy in the body into Primordial Spiritual Energy, which is a hundred times the quality of ordinary spiritual energy. Moreover, it can work with the three great spiritual flames to circulate autonomously within the body, endlessly."
"I'll also give you a personal space. It's bound to your soul. Is that alright now?"
"Not enough." Shu Lan held up one finger and shook it.
"Young friend, don't push your luck!" The scholar's beard bristled with pride.
"Then let me go back."
The God of Books immediately deflated. "So be it. It's all my fault after all."
The Book God then produced three more orbs of light. "These are the Cloud Jade Sword, the Purple Cloud Flute, and a storage ring. There are some treasures inside the storage ring."
"These compensations are all bound to your soul and will take effect immediately upon your arrival on the continent. Is that alright now?"
"I have a question." Shu Lan smiled, her eyes narrowed.
"Please speak, young friend." The Book God suddenly had a bad feeling.
