A Reckless Comeback: My System Runs on Contrarian Arguments

The protagonist, Qin Chuan, is a corporate drone born in the 1970s and an employee at a small company. After more than a decade of grinding away, at the age of 46, his right eyelid starts twitching and a string of terrible news hits him: his company lays him off, his wife cheats on him, his eldest son is not his biological child, his father is seriously ill, and his mother has dementia and is losing her memory. He cannot find a job anywhere, while the household expenses, mortgage payments, and tuition fees for his two sons keep piling up. There is the state of his relationship with his wife, her first love, the truth about his eldest son's parentage, her family pressuring her, and her reluctant compromises. Qin Chuan leaves the marriage with nothing. Torn by his own feelings, he has no choice but to set up a roadside stall selling breakfast snacks. But he has never been any good in the kitchen, so how could he make decent snacks? Business is dismal every day. With no other option, he stays open until six in the evening before packing up. That is what gets him into trouble with someone. After a heated argument, he awakens the Golden Finger Crazy Death-Seeking System. By recklessly courting disaster, constantly arguing back, and pushing people's limits, he can collect the emotions of those around him and exchange them for points. He can then use those points to draw prizes and win all kinds of money and possessions, dual cultivation techniques, cultivation techniques, and upgrades to his physique, talent, and skills. He keeps courting disaster...
