I Use Technology to Revitalize the Underworld

Feng Jingchen, a model youth raised under the red flag, had just stepped out of the college entrance examination room when the Yama Seal fell from the sky and hit him on the forehead, making him the newly appointed King of Hell.

The Yama Seal dragged Feng Jingchen into the underworld, a place filled with tr*sh, a nauseating stench, and desolate ghostly smoke.

Yama Seal: Quick! Pick up the tr*sh and sell it to the dimension system for resources. Let’s work hard to build a better new underworld, young man!

Feng Jingchen looked at the sudden change in his life’s trajectory and fell into deep thought.

Later:

Feng Jingchen: The talisman patterns in the cultivation world seem to be divided into many small modular components. Let me try to industrialize the process.

Yama Seal: Don’t even think about it! This is one of the most mysterious paths of the Dao—machines could never replicate it!

And yet…

The formation factory in the underworld started production, not only boosting underworld employment but also flooding the multiverse markets with countless cheap yet high-quality talismans. The once dilapidated underworld began to show signs of prosperity.

Yama Seal: ???

Feng Jingchen: The awakening potion from the magical world works great, but it tastes awful. If I turned it into a carbonated drink, it should sell like crazy.

Yama Seal: Impossible! It’s made with magical materials. Adding bubbles without energy would make it explode!

And yet…

Fengdu brand energy carbonated drinks took the multiverse by storm.

Evil spirits causing chaos on earth turned themselves in, just to avoid paying scalpers for the delicious drink.

Yama Seal: Who am I? Where am I?

***

Feng Jingchen: I noticed that the sealed objects in the Cthulhu world continue to wreak havoc as long as they aren’t sealed. Do their energies not deplete? Let’s buy some and use them as perpetual motion machines!

Yama Seal (hesitant): Worth a try?

And yet…

All the sealed objects in the Cthulhu dimension were worked to death!

Yama Seal: Congratulations, Your Majesty. The people of the Cthulhu New World now revere you as the Supreme Evil God!!

Feng Jingchen: …
