My Golden Core is a Star, and You Call This Cultivating?!

The Master Contractor • By Lord Screw Loose

LitRPGCultivationSci-FiComedyEngineering

Austin thought he was alpha-testing an unhinged indie sandbox survival game. He transmigrated into the abandoned outer peak of the Clear Sky Sect, opened his developer console, and ignited his dantian into a literal thermonuclear fusion reactor. Armed with a 5-foot titanium pipe wrench and his loyal bulldog Chief Inspector Pug in a high-visibility safety vest, Austin is here to enforce the Universal Building Code across the heavens.
