After transmigrating to the Kunxu Realm, where cultivation has gone cyberpunk, Zhang Yu discovers that the cultivation world has long since been mastered by capital.
Compound interest on magic-power loans leaves low-level cultivators gasping for breath. Foundation Establishment permits are handed out by lottery, spirit-root tests cost money, and even the Heavenly Court has become a publicly traded corporation. Across its 36 celestial layers, the higher-ups on each level fleece those below them.
Just as debt collectors are about to pull out his spiritual bones to settle his debt, the skills he developed as a programmer at a major tech company in his previous life awaken: he can analyze the cultivation code of this world!
“What? You say your top-tier cultivation technique has no flaws? Sorry, I'll add a backdoor that automatically transfers your cultivation to me.”
“What? You say your capitalist empire is unbreakable? Sorry, I've hacked your spiritual-energy servers. Your spirit stones are now flowing straight into my pockets.”
“What? You say the laws of the world, laid down by ancient powers, cannot be defied? Sorry, I'll rewrite the system source code myself. From now on, I make the rules!”
From this day on, Zhang Yu will be the wildest hacker in this cyberpunk cultivation world, fleece the richest big shots, and prove the most outrageous Dao!
A very nice and different novel, hahaha
