- Protagonist: Lin Xiao, a modern social animal who stays up late to read time-travel novels and transforms into the cannon fodder villain follower "Lin San" of the same name in the book.
- Goldfinger: "If you mess around, you will become stronger" system. The less hard you work, the more Buddhist you are, and the less you interfere with the affairs of the protagonist and villain, the more you can obtain passive attribute points, life-saving skills, and occasional god-level props. However, you cannot actively cause trouble. If you do, you will trigger the "death penalty" (unlucky, weakened, struck by lightning, etc.)
