The timer beeped once when the time hit 2AM.Zhao Fao ignored the sound and kept his eyes glued to the screen. Meanwhile, his hands continued moving rapidly across the keyboard as he typed lines upon lines of code into the system.The company he worked for, Balswick Tech, was launching a new product the next week. As one of the lead programmers, the volume of work allocated to Zhao Fao over the past week had been nothing but a source of sleepless nights and constant migraines."This much work, but the extra pay bonus is not even up to twenty-five percent!" He grumbled to himself. "After this project, I'm better off looking for employment elsewhere."Zhao Fao was exhausted. Seven straight years of working under these conditions had left a toll and he couldn't imagine living the rest of his life like this. At this rate, it wouldn't be surprising if he had a heart attack and dropped dead in two minutes.[Ding! The host has met the hidden conditions required for integration. Binding to th

The next day.Auntie Wang went to work as usual.Meanwhile, Zhao Fao did not prepare for school but downloaded some applications on his phone instead.His foster brother, Wei Jun peered over his shoulders and frowned."Why are you borrowing money from loan apps, brother?"Zhao Fao hid the screen and scowled at the nosy kid.Wasn't he late for school? Surely there were better things to do on a fine morning like this?"You're yet to prepare for school yourself," Wei Jun pointed out. "A final year student like yourself should take classes more seriously, no?"Zhao Fao frowned and simply left for his room.His foster brother had always been like this; nosy and all in his business.Today, he wasn't interested in engaging in unnecessary quarrels except one.[Mission Duration Countdown: 2 days and 8 hours]The notification spurred Zhao Fao to act faster. He quickly registered his details on several loan apps and soon had a small fortune in his bank account.300,000 teals!Little Zhao Fao's a

Zhao Fao hung up the call immediately with a dark face.What a joke!He didn't have a father....The scam caller could find another person to fool.But the phone started buzzing again less than three seconds after he ended the call.Irritated, Zhao Fao directly disconnected the phone from its stand.On the other end of the line, the handsome, middle-aged man looked at the phone in his hand which was beeping a dial error sound.In front of him, there were several pictures scattered on the desk.They were snapshots of a baby with bright eyes and long, wavy hair.It had been many years since the child was missing.His child.It was a coincidence that a video was sent to him this afternoon. It was a live recording of a young master teaching a rude manager a lesson.Ordinarily, the video would have never caught Jiang Peng's attention, but it was his close friend, Han Fei, who forwarded it to him and congratulated him on finally finding his long lost son.Jiang Peng had been confused.His s

Zhao Fao recovered his bearing and smoothly deflected the question, "It's nothing. So, what happened in class yesterday?""........"The duo arrived in school before the bell rang. While they separated to get ready for the roll call, Zhao Fao quickly engaged his system in a questioning session.If Su Jie had a Goldfinger, did that mean there were multiple Goldfingers around the world like himself?Was the original Su Jie dead and had a new transmigator possessed his body and taken his place?Were all Goldfinger owners transmigators?Was there a clause against disclosing one's Goldfinger owner identity? Were all Goldfingers from the same source and in a peace treaty to not have disagreement with each other?To his disappointment, the system did not answer any of his questions under the guise of his level being insufficient to get answers.It also added that the top priority now was for Zhao Fao to pass his entrance examinations and become a cultivator.[Only this way can the core funct

Zhao Fao's reaction was neutral on the surface but his heart rapidly skipped several beats at Su Jie's words."What are you talking about?" He feigned ignorance.Su Jie only gave a mischievous smile and didn't reply. The next second, he turned to his right to chat with some other classmate, answering her questions on how the talent assessment went.Zhao Fao thoughtfully gazed at Su Jie's side profile and frowned worriedly. He articulated his thoughts and communicated with his goldfinger in his mind."System, what are the chances that....."*****Three days later, when Zhao Fao gathered in the school yard with the rest of the class, the worry in his heart was only slightly reduced.Although the system had assured him otherwise, he was still paranoid about the possibility of his goldfinger being exposed and snatched away. Who knew if Su Jie's event reset or whatever he called it was capable of affecting him, a goldfinger user too?"Other goldfingers would initiate a rapid growth functio
