Programmer Lin Tianyu pulled an all-nighter and died suddenly. When he transmigrated, he was sure he would unlock the classic cultivation script: soaring on a sword through the wind, slaying demons and vanquishing monsters.
But the moment he opened his eyes, his entire worldview collapsed.
He hadn't become a gifted cultivator or an unparalleled powerhouse. Instead, he had become a rusty, cracked scrap of a sword, the sort anyone could reject and toss aside without a second thought!
And his sword wielder was the cultivation world's greatest oddball in ten thousand years: Wang Fugui, a seventy-eight-year-old man who had only just reached the first layer of Qi Refining.
The old man's two life principles carried him through every step of his cultivation journey:
As long as I play it safe enough, my teammates will be the ones to die! As long as I'm shameless enough, the heavenly tribulation will never strike me!
From then on, Lin Tianyu began a desperate life of getting exploited around the clock.
Other people's divine swords were carefully tended by their wielders, nurtured and tempered until they could be drawn to turn the skies and earth upside down.
But Wang Fugui came up with all kinds of absurd new uses for him every day:
When they ran into a black bear in the mountains, he simply raised the sword to block its paw, making its blade take the full force of the beast's attack.
When he couldn't afford the sect's insurance premium, he took apart the sword's scabbard and sold it, demonstrating the ultimate in financial savvy: getting something for nothing.
When a powerful enemy pursued them, he said nothing and hurled the sword at them like a brick, then used the momentum to run for the hills in a tactical retreat!
Every time the old man took advantage of him, the cracks on Lin Tianyu deepened, bringing him one step closer to shattering into oblivion.
He thought this unlucky sword wielder would eventually exploit him until he was reduced to ashes. But, against all expectations, his exclusive [Eighty-One Exploitations Unlock System] suddenly activated!
[Ding! Host detected being used to settle a debt. Passive skill [Full Damage Reflection] unlocked!]
