I'm a Big Short Seller in the World of Immortality

Four hundred years later, the world of immortality has long since deteriorated - spiritual roots have been securitized, cultivation can be leveraged, and even the success or failure of overcoming tribulations has become a red and green pillar on the K-line chart. Han Yan, a financial migrant worker, traveled through time and became a freelance cultivator with negative assets, and was bound to the "leek harvesting system". His first task was to short-sell the genius Jiang Zhuo of the Fire Spirit Root. When he witnessed her spiritual root being dismantled by a mechanical puppet in Zero Sum Square, he realized that the so-called exchange was just a breeding ground for the fused old monsters to raise soul-eating fetuses. In order to resist this capital game that puts a price tag on human life, he teamed up with bankrupt quantifier Lu Heng, bottom-level mining slave Zhao Sui, and awakened puppet Tie Jiuzhang to launch a "spiritual root flash war." But the real enemy is not the K-line, but the human heart - when his former mentor Shang Wujiu whispered, "I wanted to give you a world where you don't have to be priced", Han Yan finally understood: In this world, the most luxurious freedom is to refuse to be valued.
