Lu Shu and the Power of Negative Emotions in a Cultivation World

In a world where esoteric cultivation ceases to be a myth and manifests openly, the life of Lu Shu, a parentless teenager, changes forever. His ordinary existence is upended when he discovers he possesses a unique ability: absorb and convert others' discomfort into personal power currency. This gift places him at the center of a new reality, full of dangers and opportunities. 🌀

The Point System Mechanism

Lu Shu's ability operates automatically. He doesn't need to activate it; he simply perceives and accumulates. When individuals nearby feel frustration, anger, fear, or any adverse emotion, he receives a quantity of points. The intensity of the feeling determines the gain. These points function as currency within his internal system, allowing him to purchase upgrades.

What he can do with the points:
  • Increase his physical capabilities such as strength, speed, or endurance.
  • Unlock new techniques and skills linked to the art of cultivation.
  • Acquire objects and tools that assist him in his challenges.
To grow stronger, Lu Shu relies entirely on others feeling miserable, angry, or scared.

A Narrative that Combines Humor and Risk

The plot alternates between moments of absurd comedy and scenarios of genuine danger. Lu Shu, sometimes intentionally, provokes situations to generate negative emotions and thus collect more points. He attends an educational institution that now incorporates cultivation subjects, leading him to get involved in conflicts between different factions vying for power. His journey is not just about gaining strength, but also understanding the responsibility that comes with his power. 😅⚡

Key Elements of the World He Explores:
  • The coexistence of modern society with cultivators who possess superhuman abilities.
  • The presence of supernatural creatures and entities that threaten the balance.
  • Organizations and secret groups operating behind the scenes, each with their own objectives.

The Journey of Growth and Survival

Lu Shu's progress is gradual, both in power and maturity. He learns that his system, though useful, is not free from ethical dilemmas. The story delves into how an ordinary young man uses such a peculiar tool to protect his loved ones and navigate an environment that becomes more competitive and hostile. His main resource is paradoxical: transforming others' bad moods and suffering into his ace for success and securing his place in this new paradigm. 🛡️
