What was the name of that one where the NEET, his dog, and his entire house got sucked into an alternate world, but he still had utilities and Internet access so he documented his journey on 2ch? I kinda liked that one, but forgot entirely about it until just now.

That'd be When I was going out from my house to stop being a Hiki-NEET for 10 years, I was transported to another world. which is kind of fun. Mostly because of the 2chan mock posts.

Replace SA with 2chan and that would probably unironically become popular.

To be fair, he comes from a long line of con-men and was raised by the conning patriarch of conland. Always best to go with your strengths.

Ehhh, but "Fang Mu goes to weed wizard college" was pretty great

In retrospect, though he didn't outright steal anyone's poo poo there and the change of pace made it one of my personal favorite segments, he's still conning the literal entire sect just by chilling there under an assumed name while they're all out for blood looking for him

He also stole the innate alchemy ability from a poisonous plant that he was inflicted with when conning people to deal with his angry conturtle. It all comes down to cons!

Although given that the series ran for a bit over 1600 chapters, it's also a lot of prose.

I wonder if Meng Hao is ever going to actually ask about why Demon Hearts are so valuable, or if he's just going to convert them to spirit stones without a second thought.

The mirror can use them as spirit stones, but it is unclear if it can reproduce them with spirit stones.

Obviously you don't cheat poor mortals; they have nothing to steal. You cheat rich ones instead.

He's so loving rich. loving richy rich of richy rich and the immoral bunch. Meng Hao could afford to poo poo-post on SA for all eternity. But he'd probably just scam Lowtax out of all his money.

Meng Hao is SO rich, the sun orbits around his pile of spirit stones.

:20bux::10bux:

What I'm saying is, he has a lot of money.
