The Golden Finger Goes Online

"Parallel world, Earth."

In the pitch-black room, where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face, a figure lay on the bed, fast asleep.

"Ding..."

A crisp, clear sound echoed in the figure's mind.

After the sound faded, a faint golden light appeared on the sleeping figure lying on the bed.

The faint golden light was very brief, disappearing in less than a second.

As the faint golden light vanished, the figure sleeping soundly on the bed also disappeared into thin air.

The room was completely dark and empty. If not for the lingering warmth in the blankets, no one would have guessed someone had been sleeping there.

"Who pulled open my curtains?"

Lin Li slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and mumbled to himself before yawning.

"Huh???" Lin Li, who was yawning, suddenly froze, his eyes filled with confusion.

What was going on? What was this vast expanse of white fog in front of him?

"Sigh! This dream I'm having today is so weird! What's with this dream of a huge, white fog? Hurry up and give me a dream with some color!" Lin Li muttered inwardly, then lay back down and closed his eyes again.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, one minute, two minutes...

After lying back down and closing his eyes to continue sleeping, Lin Li opened them again three minutes later.

He sat up abruptly, looked around, and a look of astonishment gradually spread across his face.

"No way! This dream is too realistic." Lin Li raised his right hand and pinched his delicate and somewhat handsome face hard.

"Ouch... that hurt..."

Pinching his cheek forcefully, the intense pain made Lin Li realize he wasn't dreaming.

He scrambled to his feet from the grass, took a deep breath to calm himself, and then walked in a circle around the land beneath his feet.

A few minutes later, Lin Li returned to where he had gotten up. His expression changed repeatedly, and then he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... I've been reborn into this world for twenty-two years, and my golden finger has finally activated."

The land beneath his feet was about 100 square meters, surrounded by water and a vast expanse of white fog... This was an island, an incredibly small island.

Apart from a two-meter-tall ordinary tree in the center of the island, there was nothing else.

After laughing heartily for a while, Lin Li felt a bit thirsty. Looking at the crystal-clear water before him, he felt a sudden urge.

He then went to the edge of the small island, squatted down, dipped his finger into the water in front of him, smelled it first, detected no unusual odor, and then tasted it.

"It's fresh water, with a hint of sweetness, almost like the mineral water I usually buy."

"Gulp..." Confirming that the clear water before him was drinkable, Lin Li, who was parched, leaned forward, brought his mouth to the water, and drank heartily.

"Ah~" After a satisfying drink, his thirst disappeared. Lin Li then used the water before him to wash his face with great pleasure.

"This small island, apart from the two-meter-tall ordinary tree in the center, has nothing else. It's too barren!"

After the initial excitement subsided, Lin Li felt that the small island before him didn't seem like it could bring about much change to his current life.

"Sigh, if only I could awaken an ability that I can use for combat!"

As soon as Lin Li finished speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy, his vision went black, and then he fell backward.

In the pitch-black room, a faint golden light flashed over the empty bed, and then a figure appeared out of nowhere on the bed.

"It hurts so much!" Lin Li, who had returned to his home, patted his head with his hand. His head felt like it had been hit by something, causing a slight headache and dizziness.

This discomfort lasted for a while before Lin Li recovered.

He got out of bed, walked to the window, and pulled open the curtains.

Bright sunlight streamed into the bedroom, instantly dispelling the darkness within.

The golden sunlight shone on Lin Li's face, making him a little uncomfortable. He squinted slightly and looked into the residential area.

Early in the morning, quite a few people in the neighborhood were already up exercising. Faint golden light occasionally appeared on their bodies.

Why would a person's body emit a faint golden light?

Yes, unlike Earth in his previous life, this parallel world called Earth was a world with psionic energy and abilities.

After a person is born, if they have cultivation talent, they would automatically awaken spirituality when they reach the age of fifteen.

After awakening spirituality and consistently exercising and absorbing the free-floating psionic energy in the air, one might become a cultivator in the future.

Lin Li, reborn into this world, was considered quite fortunate. He awakened spirituality at the age of fifteen, gaining the qualification to become a cultivator.

Lin Li, who had awakened spirituality at the time, was overjoyed. He thought about how he had always fantasized about becoming a superhero with supernatural abilities back on Earth. He never expected that after waking up and being reborn in this world, he would have such an opportunity.

After awakening spirituality, Lin Li decided that he would train diligently from then on, become a cultivator as soon as possible, and then continuously grow stronger, becoming someone who would marry a beautiful and wealthy woman and reach the pinnacle of life.

Unfortunately, ideals are always beautiful, but reality is often cruel.

After awakening spirituality, people's cultivation aptitudes vary.

Those with good aptitudes progress rapidly. These individuals can become first-order initial stage cultivators after a year of consistent physical training, while slower ones might take three years.

Then there are those with extremely poor aptitudes, for whom it's unknown when they might become cultivators, or perhaps they may never have the chance.

Unfortunately, Lin Li falls into the category of those with extremely poor aptitudes. Although he has diligently trained his body every day since awakening his spirituality, his efficiency in absorbing the psionic energy wandering in the air is very low.

He started cultivating at fifteen, and seven years have passed since then. He's still stuck in the same place, a long way from breaking through to the first-order initial stage and officially becoming a cultivator.

Such terrible cultivation aptitude has completely turned Lin Li into a homebody, a couch potato.

His past dreams of becoming a powerful cultivator, marrying a beautiful rich woman, and reaching the pinnacle of life have all been tossed into the trash.

Now, Lin Li just wants to live a leisurely life playing games and watching anime, relying on his rental income and bank interest.
