Overworked programmer Lu Fan was one moment away from dying on the job when he accidentally clicked a mysterious pop-up ad and became bound to a “Sword Cultivation System.”
Cultivation is fine, but is there something wrong with this System?
The beginner quest is “Break through to the Qi Refining stage within 24 hours. Failure earns you the 007 Blessings Package.”
His life-bound spirit sword is a rusty keyboard, and his attack method is writing sword energy in code.
The status screen is even more outrageous: Charisma -10. System appraisal: “Recommend reincarnation.”
The craziest part is that his in-game cultivation level syncs with reality!
The icy sword immortal Su Qingxue is addicted to online shopping, livestreamer Lin Xiaomeng gets through tribulations with donations, and the villainous Demon Lord spams “Heh heh heh” in the chat...
When cultivation meets cyber absurdity, Lu Fan looks up at the sky and sighs:
“Cultivating in this era is even more bug-ridden than my code!”
