Global Oddity: I Summon Deities to Crush All Foes
This is a despair‑stricken doomsday world riddled with betrayal. Mysterious monster‑infested dungeons keep popping up across the globe. Nations are forced to send explorers into these realms to survive. Victory boosts national fortune, while defeat brings devastating natural disasters. Hounded by explorers from powerful nations led by the United States, Dragon Country’s expeditions suffer repeated defeats. Its national fortune plummets to rock bottom. Crop failures and supernatural corruption spread across the land, pushing its people to the brink of collapse. Yi Ping’an, a young man transported into this world, becomes Dragon Country’s last remaining explorer. He steps into the Bloody Prison dungeon prepared for certain death, only to be seen as easy prey by foreign explorers. On the brink of death, Yi Ping’an awakens the Divine Summon Gacha System. Instead of leveling up by slaying monsters, this system runs on emotion points. He gains energy whenever his outrageous acts shock humans or ghosts. Using this mechanic, Yi Ping’an beats demonic prisoners inside the dungeon to earn his first batch of points. He then draws a card and summons Nezha. Even at one‑star power, Nezha wields overwhelming strength capable of crushing the dungeon boss. He effortlessly resolves crises within the instance and strikes down Japanese explorers plotting against him. Using his wits and his summoned deity’s power, Yi Ping’an slays the final boss, restoring 2,000 national fortune points for Dragon Country and averting total national ruin. Yet this is only the beginning. In the subsequent Cursed Land dungeon, he encounters overconfident explorers from White Elephant Nation, who mock Dragon Country for lacking faith. Yi Ping’an summons White Crane Boy and Erlang God, trampling their so‑called gods underfoot. Paul, an explorer from the United States, sees Yi Ping’an’s unstoppable momentum. He assembles elites from seventeen countries, illegally breaking into the dungeon with forbidden relics to lay siege, even striking a bargain with a Cthulhu‑like outer god.

Spirit Spring of Stream‑Gully Village Season 2
Li Fei, a young man from Stream‑Gully Village, was once known as the village “sickly weakling” for his fragile health. Half a year ago, he chanced upon a mysterious jade vase. The spirit spring water inside could supercharge plant growth and restore vitality to barren soil. Transformed by its power, Li Fei grew extraordinary fruits and vegetables. His oranges sold for 20 yuan per jin and still sold out instantly; his tomatoes tasted honey‑sweet, and his cucumbers were incomparably crisp. Peace was shattered by breaking news: Jinsheng Group planned to invest 5 billion yuan to build an eco‑tourism resort in Qingshan Town. Stream‑Gully Village and all its back‑mountain wasteland fell within the land‑acquisition scope. Ma Dali, project manager of Jinsheng Group, showed up with bodyguards to seize Li Fei’s family land, offering a meager compensation of 10,000 yuan per mu, which Li Fei flat‑out rejected. Ma Dali pressured Village Chief Wang to intervene. Li Fei counter‑proposed: contract the village land to him, and he would lift the whole village out of poverty. Skeptical, Village Chief Wang finally leased thirty mu of back‑mountain wasteland to Li Fei. Meanwhile, Shen Qingxue, host of provincial food show A Bite of Journey, and Qian Wenyuan, CEO of Qian’s Group, came to visit out of great curiosity. After tasting Li Fei’s tomatoes, Shen Qingxue was utterly amazed and immediately invited him for a feature episode. Unconvinced, Ma Dali bit into a cucumber, his expression spiraling out of control as he ate ravenously in a thoroughly humiliating scene. Jealous of Li Fei’s rising fame, Ma Dali sent bodyguards to sneak into the vegetable garden at night and pour toxic liquid. They were subdued on the spot by Big Yellow and its three pups. Big Yellow snapped a sickle with its bite, sending the thugs scrambling away in terror. After reviving the seedlings with spirit‑spring water, Li Fei’s gaze turned cold, and he formally declared war on Jinsheng Group. He soaked rice seeds in spirit‑spring water, which sprouted overnight, and cast the minor Rain‑Summoning Spell, turning compacted barren ground into fertile spirit farmland in an instant. In merely one week, golden rice waves rolled across the thirty‑mu paddy field, yielding 1,860 jin per mu — more than double the output of ordinary rice. Qian Wenyuan begged to buy the entire harvest, yet Li Fei first gave every household in the village a free sack of spirit rice. After tasting it, Village Chief Wang’s years‑long lower‑back pain eased. The villagers finally realized this was no ordinary grain, but spirit rice that boosted physical wellness.
Farming My Way to Supremacy in the Cultivation World
Shen Qiushi, a modern‑day agronomy PhD, collapsed from heatstroke and passed away in her experimental field. Her soul transmigrated to Qianyuan Realm, a world where spirit plants had been extinct for a thousand years. Reborn as a spirit‑less girl abandoned by the Shen Clan, she bonded with the farming system 007. Drawing on her professional agricultural expertise and spirit‑plant seeds supplied by the system, she cultivated long‑lost ancient spirit crops including jade‑spirit cabbages, golden‑armor potatoes and jasper spirit rice on desolate discarded land. By constantly consuming these spirit plants, her physical body was tempered, granting her strength and physique far superior to ordinary cultivators. Shen Qiushi’s farming activities repeatedly triggered heavenly phenomena. Powerful cultivators such as Master Xuanqingzi, leader of the Medicine Sect, mistook her for a reclusive supreme expert. The farming sickle she casually picked up as a farm tool was actually a transcendent‑grade spirit weapon, the Spirit‑Slaying Scythe. Her routine weeding was interpreted as profound sword‑dao wisdom, and ordinary seedling‑thinning was regarded as an extravagant act squandering heavenly treasures. Driven by everyone’s wild speculations, the title “Senior Shen” spread across the cultivation world. Three Nascent‑Soul realm powerhouses voluntarily came to work as her laborers, and Xu Qingfeng, the top rogue cultivator, was willing to stand guard over her courtyard. Shen Mingzhu, the fake legitimate daughter of the Shen Clan, feared Shen Qiushi’s existence and repeatedly plotted against her, only to suffer self‑inflicted consequences every time. She stole rotten potatoes and suffered humiliating public diarrhea; she summoned vine demons to harm others but got attacked by the monsters herself; she awoke the ferocious beast Taotie in a secret realm and barely escaped death. Shen Qiushi passively resolved each crisis. She also rescued Xuanchi, an ancient flying serpent gravely injured during its tribulation transcendence, and took the beast as her ally. The pair ventured into the Spirit‑Ruins Secret Realm. Shen Qiushi awakened the slumbering thousand‑year‑old plant spirits, obtained primal chaos tea seeds, subdued the ferocious Taotie with pure physical power alone, and brought back to life all cultivators who had perished within the secret realm.
