[Persuasive manipulation + hypocrisy + corrupt official in ancient times + chaotic era + golden finger]
[Lots of supplementary details, tight logic, and a moderate amount of analysis. If you prefer mindless power trips, this may not be for you. Inspired by Ace Attorney and Danganronpa.]
There is a System! There is a golden finger! The System merely patches up the auxiliary logic behind the protagonist's cold-weapon technology reforms, and its drawbacks outweigh its benefits. He won't steamroll everyone without thinking; he's only relatively powerful. Still, if you dislike System stories, this may not be for you!
When Gu Qingchen opened his eyes, he was already seated in the prefect of Yuezhou's seat of power.
Looking at the silver pouch on his desk, he tapped the tabletop and sneered inwardly. I'm a sigma male. I refuse to be a corrupt official.
In an instant, a mechanical voice rang out: “Ding! The Chaotic-Era Hypocritical Corrupt Official System has activated. The more you embezzle without getting caught, the greater your rewards!”
Gu Qingchen jerked his head up. “Um, is it too late for me to change my mind?”
No NTR! All characters will be treated with respect. No cuckoldry. Romance fans, please pull over to the side.
