Programmer Lin Jin, who died suddenly, is reborn as a bottom-rung wage slave in the cultivation world and bound to the "Wage Slave System," which specializes in awful missions (rewards: a baldness-care technique?). Facing this cutthroat sweatshop, he flips the table and declares, "No more so-called blessings! Optimize everything!"
An operations engineer's eye spots flaws in formations, coding logic rebuilds spell models, and automated scripts let him cultivate on autopilot. He digs up an ancient formation disk marked 404 in a mine, and dares to put up a "System maintenance in progress" sign during his tribulation, making the heavenly lightning strike wide! He assembles an "Anti-Overwork Squad": the icy sword cultivator Ling Shuang, the socially anxious artifact fanatic Tang Yu, the Buddhist monk Jing Ci who specializes in curing workplace manipulation, and the information broker Su Miao.
"Shared flying swords" clog up the roads, "open-source fasting pills" threaten the established order, and "lifespan insurance" takes aim at the sects' darkest blood-tax exploitation! The mastermind, Perfected Xuan Gu, regards all living beings as dogs and activates the Spirit-Devouring Engine to consume lifespans. The mountain-protecting formation transforms into a monstrous embodiment of the rules.
At the brink of despair, Lin Jin smashes his keyboard and writes three lines of the New World Code in blood across the heavens and earth:
A cultivator's lifespan cannot be taken away # Abolish blood taxes
The inheritance of the Dao cannot be monopolized # Open Source Decree
Heavenly tribulations must leave a chance to survive # Optimize Tribulations
A programmer's mindset dismantles classical cultivation, while technological innovation battles the exploitation of the Heavenly Dao! Watch as a cultivation-world wage slave deletes the old rules and runs away into a new era, building an ideal nation where "simplifying the complicated and slacking off can lead to the Dao"!
