The moment Lu Yan stepped into the marketplace, he felt the long-lost sensation of prosperity. Blinding neon signs lined both sides of the street. The strange and diverse crowd stood in stark contrast to the lifeless and desolate Cavern No. 71. Cavern No. 71 might have been thriving during the pharmaceutical factory's golden days, but now it was just an abandoned, garbage-strewn slum. Among tens of thousands of people, only Quentin had barely brushed the threshold of becoming a Spirit Energy user.…-

Lower City, Cavern No. 33. Among the many underground caverns in the Lower City, Cavern No. 33 was a rather unique existence. Most caverns served one simple purpose: sheltering impoverished civilians who couldn’t afford the Tier-3 air tax or sunlight tax. But Cavern No. 33 was different. This particular cavern had once been a corporate fallout shelter from a major company. After being repurposed, it now stood as one of the most prosperous and chaotic zones in the entire Lower City. Human…-

“Spirit Energy tax?” Lu Yan narrowed his eyes at Quentin, his expression laced with displeasure as an invisible pressure suddenly spread out. “When I rented this factory, I prepaid six months’ worth of Spirit Energy tax at thirty thousand credits per month. I also put you in charge of the whole matter. “It’s only been a month and a half, and you’re telling me the payment is overdue? Are you toying with me?” Thud! Quentin dropped to his knees with a loud crash, his body…-

Ever since settling into the underground factory, Lu Yan had thrown himself entirely into cultivation. In just two days, he broke through to the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining. Five days later, he pushed past the bottleneck and entered the Seventh Layer. In a mere half month, Lu Yan had covered a path that most rogue cultivators couldn’t traverse in their entire lives, reaching the Tenth Layer of Qi Refining—the recognized peak of the realm. Once one reached the Tenth Layer of Qi Refining, the…-

A place where you could improve your cultivation just by standing still—in the Xianxia version, this would be called a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land! Even someone like Ji Xingyao, a Core Disciple of the Azure Phoenix Sect, wouldn’t qualify to enter such a place. Only the patriarchs who ruled their sects could live in such a haven. But here, in the Cyberpunk version, it was just an abandoned underground factory that nobody wanted. If Lu Yan didn’t seize the opportunity now, he’d be a…-

“What is cultivation?” Quentin asked, puzzled. “Just a way to use Spirit Energy,” Lu Yan waved it off casually, giving a half-hearted answer. Back on the surface, Green Ivy had already mentioned that Universal MegaCorp controlled the source of all Spirit Energy and even levied taxes based on how much an individual used it. At the time, Lu Yan had thought that was just an exaggeration. The idea of a single corporation monopolizing all supernatural power in the world seemed absurd. But…-

Something was wrong. Lu Yan’s pupils suddenly contracted as his expression grew serious. After completing the version update, he had gone through a series of events—capturing the Black man, exploring the surface streets, descending into the underground cave—all of which took well over five hours. Under normal circumstances, the version update progress was set on a three-month timeline, meaning that 0.1% progress should represent just over two hours. But now, more than five hours had…-

Lu Yan clearly remembered that, to ensure the success of this version update experiment, he had deliberately purchased four basic cultivation manuals and one Low-Grade magical artifact from the inner market of the Green Wu Sect. The four books included: a Trash Continent Qi Refining technique called Everlasting Spring Manual, Basic Pill Refining, Introduction to Formations, and Basic Talisman Crafting. Altogether, these four cost Lu Yan just thirty spirit stones. That price might seem cheap, but…-

The corner of Lu Yan’s mouth twitched slightly. He couldn’t help but grumble inwardly: “As expected of the Cyberpunk version.” Green Ivy, who was already used to all this, led the way ahead. Along the way, some passersby cast fearful glances at Lu Yan. Before long, they arrived at a peculiar building. The structure resembled a heavily modified cannon tower. Most of its components had been dismantled, leaving only a rusted barrel pointing into the distance. Lu Yan noticed the barrel’s…-

“Omniscient and omnipotent? Isn’t that even more absurd than the Heavenly Dao?” Lu Yan’s heart trembled. He felt as if countless eyes in the void had locked onto him. The instinctive fear made him want to summon his flying artifact and escape this Cyberpunk version entirely—find some quiet corner to hide in until the world reset again. But in the next instant, Lu Yan realized the flaw in his thinking. “Wait, no—” Omniscient and omnipotent meant absolute control over the…-
