My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 2 You little rascal, you borrowed money and didn't pay it back, and you even dared to harass my daughter?
With a thought, Li Wei activated his cheat program, Heavenly Dao 1.0, and then began the beginner's tutorial following the prompts.

Just activated.
Then I heard a mechanical, emotionless voice in my ear.

Welcome to the world of cultivation. We are now beginning to test your innate spiritual roots. This process will take some time, so please remain focused.

Li Wei exclaimed in surprise, "This Heavenly Dao is quite intelligent. Come to think of it, this cultivation world has both telephones and computers, so it shouldn't be the kind of ancient cultivation system depicted in novels."

Who wants a cultivation world where powerful beings roam freely and are destined to be fought to the point of exhaustion?
Isn't a world where you can advance your career by dabbling in finance and taking exams appealing?
While thinking,

The mechanical prompt in my ear suddenly changed!
[Warning! Warning! The upper limit of spiritual roots has been locked, and the cultivation coefficient has been reduced to 1.1...]

[Restrictions being lifted...]

【wait……】

[Restriction removal failed! Loading basic techniques...]

[Cultivation foundation has been changed; technique loading failed...]

[Error! Error! Error!]

Holy shit!

This damned, incompetent engineering!

Amid a series of alarms, Li Wei discovered rows of "x" marks on the Heavenly Dao 1.0 system in front of him, indicating that almost all functions were locked for various reasons.

After searching high and low,

Li Wei seemed to only see one word—bad!

Did I crash this system when I traveled through time?
Ok,

But even if the system is broken, shouldn't this thing be created?

Li Wei looked up and saw a dark cloud that had appeared in the room at some point.

Countless crimson lightning bolts roamed within, exuding a dense aura of death, as if they might strike down at any moment and annihilate Li Wei, body and soul.

Mom!
Is this also the curse of those loan sharks?
But this thing looks like it could kill me. Is something wrong with it?

Or……

Li Wei looked at his system, which was now completely red, and his eyes twitched.

This cloud of calamity seems to be heading straight for you—Heavenly Dao 1.0?

Will my account get banned before I even start using this cheat?

Could it be that the local constable discovered my attempt to use cheat codes after time travel and is now going to kill me and my cheat codes together?

Fortunately, the thundercloud did not actually strike. After gathering above Li Wei's head for a while, it slowly disappeared from the spot, as if it had never appeared at all.

Relieved, Li Wei searched through the system with a sense of resentment.
"I refuse to believe it. Is it really impossible to cultivate the Heavenly Dao at all?"

at last!

He saw a hint of green.

"Damn it, system, you've finally done something human!"

Li Wei almost burst into tears of joy.

At least they didn't completely seal it off; at least they left me with some hope.

I decisively clicked the button, and then I heard a new prompt in my mind.

[The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven begins. Please offer your sacrifice to Heaven within 10 seconds.]

[Note: The Heavenly Sacrifice function is a special channel opened specifically for top talents in the cultivation world. It aims to collect cutting-edge knowledge that can help the entire cultivation world ascend collectively, or extraordinary items that can broaden the basic rules of the Heavenly Dao.]

Therefore, please do not use inferior items during the sacrifice process, otherwise the Heavenly Court will randomly impose a curse based on the items you offer!

? ? ? !
Come again?

Your damn system has been assimilated by local loan sharks and started cursing me, hasn't it?

There's no benefit whatsoever, and yet you expect me to give you something in return?

What makes you think that I, who am drowning in debt, have the money to offer as a sacrifice to you?
Li Wei never expected that the only system he had placed such high hopes on would turn out to be such a trap.

What kind of bullshit sacrifice is this?
What cutting-edge knowledge could help the entire cultivation world ascend to immortality, or what strange items could broaden the fundamental rules of the Heavenly Dao?
Do you think I, a hapless transmigrator burdened with the debts of fifteen loan sharks, am a strange object?

Or you might as well sacrifice me!

Li Wei wanted to cry but had no tears.

To see if the countdown is about to end

Having completely collapsed, he casually grabbed a book from the table and tossed it to the system. Sigh.

tired.

Destroy it.

Whatever, you'd better just kill me off sooner rather than later!

The book, with its messy graffiti on the cover and a price tag of only 12.8, was put into the system.

Then, like a nuclear explosion, the entire room was illuminated!

What the heck?!
Li Wei looked up in surprise and saw that the Heavenly Dao System had become incredibly active, as if it had taken a powerful tonic.

[Newdao data entry complete!]

[Comment: Unparalleled! With the power of a mere mortal, he actually allowed the Heavenly Dao to explore a realm never before touched.]

[Rewards: A peerless, perfect Golden Core attribute and 50000 top-grade spirit stones!]

Ok? !

Li Wei was stunned.

What the hell? How can a lousy book be worth so much?

Could it be that the original owner was a hidden master who possessed unparalleled abilities, whose books contained profound secrets of the Dao, and who then, out of boredom, borrowed a mountain of high-interest loans and committed suicide for fun?

That seems impossible.

Wait, wait, wait, the reason isn't important, what matters is the result!

The thing is, I already posted it!!!

Golden Elixir!!
Even those who don't understand cultivation should know that this is one of the realms of cultivation, and it's not a low realm. In some mortal worlds, it could even be called a sect or ancestor, becoming a regional overlord.

Most importantly, this is not an ordinary Golden Core, but a peerless perfect Golden Core.

Something that can be rated as unparalleled by the Heavenly Dao must be something extraordinary, right?

It's just a bit strange that it has a "(entry)" at the end.
Somehow,
Li Wei recalled the fear he had felt when he was dominated by the gem-collecting in the broken shooting game.

"It's supposed to be a legitimate Heavenly Dao, it can't be this outrageous, right?"

It turns out that

It's just that outrageous!
The reward he received was indeed a gift pack containing a peerless, perfect Golden Core attribute, including but not limited to [Dao Body +1], [Spell Critical Hit Rate +10%], [One in a Thousand Chance of Instant Kill], [Spiritual Energy Recovery Efficiency +100%], and [Cultivation Efficiency Bonus +100%].

The text even thoughtfully indicates that if you are not satisfied with the entry, you can spend 50,000 spirit stones to reset it.

I can tell,

The new era's Heavenly Dao is indeed very pay-to-win!

It is filled with the sounds and appearances of capitalists.
One can't help but wonder, what kind of boundless compassion and mercy do the countless gods and Buddhas nurtured under such a heavenly order possess?
What kind of mental state do cultivators in such an environment have?

Anyway,

This cultivation world is quite different from what Li Wei imagined; it's very different!
Forget about getting a golden elixir for free and then ascending to immortality on the spot, becoming a sect leader and ancestor.
Li Wei doesn't have a Golden Core, so the button to extract peerless-level entries is grayed out, making it impossible to equip them; he can only look on with envy.

"I still have 50,000 top-grade spirit stones left, that should be enough for me to pay off my debts, right?"

The voice has not fallen,

The door to the room was suddenly kicked open!

A round-faced girl wearing a lace short-sleeved cheongsam appeared at the door, holding a snow-white cat, her face icy cold.

Even with the fat cat blocking his way, Li Wei could tell at a glance that this girl, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, was an E-class student and was definitely not an ordinary person. Her future achievements were limitless!
And the beauty mark at the corner of her eye perfectly accentuated her lovely face, adding a touch of allure.
Even though her face was as cold as ice, she still looked fierce and adorable, like someone who was easy to bully.

Perhaps noticing Li Wei's gaze,
The girl rolled her eyes, then pouted and looked at the couple behind her with a wronged expression.

"dad!"

"mom!"

"That brat was just leering at my chest!"

The two men, dressed in police uniforms, immediately put on "kind" smiles.

"You're so brave, kid!!"

"Not only did he borrow money from my daughter and refuse to pay it back, but he also dared to harass her in front of us!"

"In my more than 20 years as a police officer, this is the first time I've seen someone as lawless and utterly disrespectful as you!"
