   The protagonist, Zhou Yan, starts by being bound to a bugged game panel, using game mechanics like "invisible walls to trap monsters" and "health bar displays" to disguise himself as an unparalleled genius (for example, pretending to have an "innate holy body" to tank attacks, when in reality he's too busy to care about his health). He completely fools the cultivation world. The most ingenious part is that while he's freeloading, he's genuinely developing the system's abilities, eventually transforming from a "pretending genius" into a "truly invincible" being.

    Transmigrated into a useless disciple? Xu Fei, a 996 workaholic bound to the Heavenly Reward System, slumped on his hard wooden bed, silently giving the middle finger to the drafty ceiling. One second he was meticulously calculating his bank account balance and the "study materials" on his hard drive, the next he went from a respectable modern man with a house and a car to a transmigrator struggling to even fill his stomach—what pained him most were the money he hadn't had time to spend and the materials he hadn't finished reading! "Gurgle..." The protesting sound of his stomach pierced his despair. He rubbed his cramping stomach, wincing, and lifted his shirt. The shocking bruise instantly awakened his memory: this was the "masterpiece" of his senior brother in charge yesterday, the culprit that caused the original owner's death. Forcing himself to sit cross-legged despite hunger and pain, Xu Fei decided to try anything, attempting to circulate the "Azure Cloud Technique" according to the original owner's memories. Visualization, breathing, guiding the qi—when the technique painstakingly completed one cycle, a crisp sound suddenly exploded in his mind.
