38-Year-old Xue Liu is the human resources manager of a programming training institution. He has a mother who lives alone, a wife who is a doctor whom he sees every half a year, and a second-grade son. After working overtime late at night and dying suddenly, his soul traveled to the six-eared macaque 400 years after he obtained the scriptures. The six-eared soul has been wiped out by the Tathagata, leaving only the body. The golden hoop cannot be taken out from the ears. Buddhism will suppress him into the Hunyuan void in three months.
But he was bound to the [Lie Flat and Rotten System]: A rotten person's cultivation level will increase by ten years every day, and a lottery will be drawn once every hundred years. During the lottery, the system will transfer financial compensation to the modern family in the name of Xue Liu. The bigger dilemma is that when he travels back in time, he will face unemployment at the age of 38, no medical insurance, no mortgage, and his mother will sit in the hospital corridor until dawn; if he stays, he will only have three months to count down.
A middle-aged man abandoned by both worlds, the only thing he can do is to lie down. During the 100 days, he visited Bajie, Sha Seng, White Dragon Horse, and Tang Seng, and touched Wukong's remnants left in Wuxing Mountain. He was called "Old Monkey" by the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain. On the day of Nirvana, Xue Liu stood on the Wuxiang Yuan, his thousand-year cultivation was all lit up, and the golden cudgel came out of his ears on its own. Tathagata asked for his name, and he answered "Xue Liu". Turn around and go down the mountain, the system fades away.
He did not become a Buddha, did not reincarnate, and did not die. He drank porridge, planted trees, and lived under the wall of Gaolaozhuang. The system left a final message: "Wish you good luck." - When he woke up, he knew where he was going.
