In the modern metropolis of the 21xxs, spiritual qi revival begins after the world enters the Age of Declining Dharma, and cultivators, people with supernatural abilities, and demonic beasts emerge everywhere. Cao Wu and Gao Tian are ordinary people at the bottom of society, suffering workplace exploitation and romantic betrayal. By chance, Cao Wu obtains a mysterious purple crystal necklace and activates the System. The System issues missions such as earning money within a time limit and securing business deals, driving them to turn their lives around. However, antagonists grow jealous of the protagonists' System resources and obstruct them at every turn in business and at work. Under pressure from the System's missions, the protagonists are often caught between profit and principle, such as when a task demands they violate business ethics. Their abilities are also weak at first, limiting their competitiveness, while workplace exploitation and romantic betrayal deal them a double blow. Meanwhile, the countdown to an invasion by an advanced extraterrestrial civilization begins. The protagonists must overcome their personal struggles and build wealth and status, while also growing strong enough to protect Earth before time runs out. Along the way, rivals maliciously spread rumors about them, misunderstandings arise with business partners, and even when they achieve commercial success, their focus on work causes them to neglect their families and strain their relationships. But with the System's golden finger, including business foresight and mastery of skills, they continually break through and grow amid fierce clashes with their enemies. In the end, can they protect Earth, rise to a higher social class, and change their fate?
