Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

"It's safe, it's safe!"

In a fairly luxurious and spacious office, Luo Qianqiu jumped up from the boss's chair, his expression excited, gesturing wildly as if he had won a 50 billion lottery.

"Clang!"

The table shook violently, the glass on it tipped over, and the milky white liquid inside splashed everywhere, leaving a noticeable stain on the crotch of the black suit trousers, creating a complete mess.

But Luo Qianqiu paid no attention to any of this; his attention was focused on a semi-transparent panel in front of him.

The semi-transparent panel was very simple, with about a hundred words written on it.

"In 2040, at the age of 54, you will be the leader of a Fortune 500 company, with wealth, status, and fame. But a hundred years later, you will turn into a handful of dust."

"Beyond the mortal realm, in the East, there are holy lands like Penglai and the Lingbao Sect, where cultivators reside in celestial realms, living for countless years, overlooking the rise and fall of dynasties in the mortal world. In the starry sky, there are geniuses from the Big Dipper Star Region, the Ziwei Star Region, and the Eternal Star Region ascending the path to heaven, singing as they go, their fingers capable of covering the sky!"

"Such a magnificent world, don't you want to witness it, explore it, and conquer it?"

"Mission: Step into the world of cultivation."

"Reward: Willpower increased tenfold."

"Failure: The next task trigger will be postponed."

Please select whether to accept?

The message, though only a few hundred words long, is incredibly impactful, leaving one deeply moved and unable to calm down.

……

Luo Qianqiu, a transmigrator born from a womb, lost his parents when he was five and grew up in an orphanage. Relying on his past life's experience, he started his own business during college and built a considerable fortune at a young age, making him a typical young talent.

If things had gone according to plan, his future would have been bright, and he might have even made it onto the wealth list. But now, another path to success lay before him.

Beyond the mortal realm exist cultivators who can fly and traverse the earth, possess long lifespans, overlook the rise and fall of dynasties, and wield immense power…

At this moment, the yearning for immortality within the soul of the Chinese people was triggered, and Luo Qianqiu accepted without the slightest hesitation.

"Ding!"

"The host has accepted the mission. Please enter the world of cultivation within one year, that is, before you turn fifty-five. Otherwise, the mission will be considered a failure and the next mission will be postponed."

The panel changed the moment Luo Qianqiu chose to accept; the previous text disappeared, and new text appeared like ripples on the surface of water.

However, when Luo Qianqiu saw the words on the panel, he was completely stunned.

Fifty-five years old...

Hmm! He seems to have discovered a huge loophole: he is currently twenty-three years old, and there are still thirty-two years until he turns fifty-five.

The original mission requirement of one year was extended to thirty-two years.

Would you consider this an extra layer of cheat code added to the easy mode, turning it into a super easy mode?

According to the information provided on the panel, this world has keywords such as the Big Dipper Star Region, the Purple Star Region, the Eternal Star Region, the Road to Heaven, the Song of Walking, and the Flick of a Finger to Cover the Sky. How could Luo Qianqiu not know the world he is in now?

"Isn't this just like covering the sky?"

Luo Qianqiu was full of confidence. The tasks on the panel might be extremely difficult for the fifty-four-year-old Luo Qianqiu, but for him now, they were a piece of cake.

Coincidentally, not long after, he had the opportunity to enter the world of cultivation.

Luo Qianqiu reached for a few sheets of paper next to the computer and quickly wiped the milk on the table. Just as he was about to deal with the stains on his pants, a soft "click" sounded, and the office door was pushed open, with Lin Jia walking in from outside.

This is a beautiful and refined woman, wearing a black women's suit with a white shirt underneath and a pencil skirt that accentuates her slender and graceful figure, making her look even more curvaceous and charming.

Around her slender neck was a Cartier three-tone gold necklace with diamonds, which is very popular recently. It is high-end, understated, and exquisite, perfectly matching Lin Jia's temperament.

"Hmm? Didn't you just... get a sore throat again yesterday?" Lin Jia pursed her lips and quickly turned around to close the office door.

Luo Qianqiu's eye twitched. He pointed to the overturned glass on the table, milky white milk dripping from the rim. He said meaningfully, "Do you think I have such a large capacity?"

"Okay, I misunderstood. I thought you wanted to open up a new battlefield." Lin Jia reached out and smoothed her dark hair. Her phoenix eyes, partially hidden by her long eyelashes, slanted slightly upwards, revealing a special charm that was both alluring and captivating.

"If you're interested, it's not impossible." Luo Qianqiu's eyes turned dangerous, and he exuded a new kind of oppressive aura.

To be honest, when he first met Lin Jia, he didn't make many connections. After all, China has a huge population, and there are countless people with the same name. A simple online search will yield thousands to tens of thousands of results.

There are people named Ye Fan and Shi Hao in their previous lives.

No matter how rich Luo Qianqiu's imagination is, it's impossible for him to make a baseless guess that he's in the world of Shrouding the Heavens based on just a name.

Based on the information on the panel, he confirmed that this was the world of "Covering the Sky," and that's how he contacted Lin Jia, who must be the woman who rejected Ye Fan's advances during their middle school days in the original story.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Seeing that Luo Qianqiu really had that intention, Lin Jia quickly picked up the documents in her hand and said, "These are several venture capital firms that are interested in investing in our Series C round. Take a look and see if there are any that are your targets."

Luo Qianqiu took the document, didn't even look at it, and threw it on the table, then casually brought up another matter.

"I seem to remember you telling me a few days ago that you had a class reunion."

"What, you're interested? But you said you weren't going." Lin Jia pouted her pretty lips, showing a little bit of stubbornness when this was mentioned.

After leaving school, everything became more realistic.

Class reunions are wonderful; friends who have known each other for years gather together to reminisce about the fun times we shared—it's a shared part of our youth.

But among adults, aside from fond memories, comparing their post-graduation development is an unavoidable process.

Lin Jia is a normal person with a little vanity. She naturally wanted to show off her excellent boyfriend, Luo Qianqiu, at the class reunion.

However, during this period, the company was in a period of rapid development and was about to face its Series C financing. As the person in charge, Luo Qianqiu naturally had a lot of social engagements, so he did not go with them.

After all, business was obviously more important than the gathering, so Lin Jia was just a little upset, but she could understand perfectly well.

Now, when this matter is brought up, it's just a girl's petty temper flaring up; she's not really angry. It would be strange if couples were to be so rigid and serious with each other.

Having started from scratch and now achieving some success, Luo Qianqiu was certainly no fool. He stood up, walked to Lin Jia's side, put his arm around her slender waist, and said gently, "I was too busy earlier and neglected Jiajia. Would you be so kind as to let me meet Jiajia's classmates?"

"It's late, the class reunion ended a long time ago, but two classmates suggested going to visit Mount Tai. That's quite strenuous, Mr. Luo, can you handle it?" Lin Jia chuckled, her beautiful face bright and charming, but her eyes glanced at a certain place.

"You don't know how strong I am," Luo Qianqiu said, his eyes turning dangerous.

This office is very soundproof; even if you set off firecrackers inside, you won't hear much noise outside.

Luo Qianqiu has really let loose and isn't planning to attend the evening's social gatherings.

Everyone knows this is the world of "Covering the Sky," so who would be interested in scheming against a bunch of old men in the mortal realm?

At this moment, all Luo Qianqiu could say was, "Everyone's been reborn, who the hell would still start a business?"

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Luo Qianqiu and Lin Jia got off the plane, someone came to pick them up. It was Zhou Yi, who had organized the trip to Mount Tai. He had a very refined appearance and gave off the feeling of a scholarly family.

Lin Jia introduced them briefly, and then they were taken to the hotel where they would rest for the night before officially climbing Mount Tai the next morning.

……

At the bonfire party that night, Luo Qianqiu, though attending as a family member, stole the show and became the focus of attention.

His company's products have great potential and are now quite well-known in China. They are about to undergo Series C financing and are on the verge of going public. He is a true success story.

Most of the people present were working-class people, and they would naturally not miss the opportunity to get to know someone like Luo Qianqiu.

Luo Qianqiu remained calm and composed in the face of the situation. After elegantly toasting everyone, he took Lin Jia's hand and led her to a handsome young man.

"Qianqiu, this is Ye Fan, a prominent figure from our university days. He's also developing his career in Shanghai now," Lin Jia introduced.

"Hello, this is Lin Jia's boyfriend, Luo Qianqiu." Luo Qianqiu raised his glass and introduced himself.

"Ye Fan, Lin Jia's classmate." Ye Fan also raised his glass, his expression calm and without the slightest hint of flattery.
