The medical bills for his mother's late-stage uremia made Lin Chen breathless. He was cheated while carrying bricks and kicked in by debt collectors. He stood in the corridor of the hospital holding the payment slip, even crying for fear of delaying his dialysis.
Until the "daily body strengthening system" awakened: he worked hard to collect life-saving money, relied on his strength to scare off bullying, and relied on his intelligence to break the situation and counterattack. He started by opening a small home appliance repair shop and entered the business district. In just a few years, he built a business territory spanning industry and technology, and became an "urban business boss" respected by outsiders.
I thought I could protect my mother and live a stable life, but suddenly I was visited by a mysterious "immortal cultivator" - the man's fingertips were burning with green fire, and he said disdainfully: "Either hand over half of your wealth in exchange for the lives of your employees, or watch the nurses in your branches, factories, and even hospitals become targets for my training."
The system urgently unlocked telekinesis, teleportation, and spiritual energy absorption, and Lin Chen was shocked to realize: Under the bustling city, there are hidden alleys of monsters, entrances to secret realms, and extraordinary forces that treat mortals as "ants."
In order to protect everyone around him, he was forced to embark on the road of cultivating immortals: during the Qi refining period, he burned away the monsters that attacked the factory, during the foundation building period, he broke into the secret realm to seize life-saving resources, and during the golden elixir period, he defeated the cultivating sect's killing moves on the rooftop of the CBD... But the deeper he went into the extraordinary world, the more he discovered: the other party seemed to be staring at more than just his business empire.
From a low-level ant to a business tycoon, from a mortal to a cultivator, he never became strong for power or promotion, but just to keep one sentence: "No one can hurt the person I want to protect."
