Reborn as the Crippled Disciple: A Cultivation LitRPG

Lin Chen worked himself to death in another life.

Three weeks of five-hour nights. Forty-one days of overtime. A cup of cold tea, and a chest that finally stopped.

When he wakes up, he's seventeen years old, in a body whose Spirit Root has been poisoned beyond repair. The sect calls him trash. His monthly stipend has been cut by seventy percent. The disciples who used to share his bunk have moved out.

He doesn't shout. He doesn't cry. He just opens the cultivation manual nobody else wanted, sits down, and starts running the numbers.

Then a System hovers in front of his eyes.

[Cultivation System v???] Initializing...
[Damaged Spirit Root identified. Engaging Numeric Cultivation mode.]
[Warning: core system recovering. Modules locked.]

His attributes are garbage. Except for one. Luck: 99.

Even the System doesn't know why.

A progression-fantasy LitRPG about an exhausted engineer who becomes the worst-rated disciple in his sect, and proceeds to min-max his way through a cultivation world like it's a balance sheet.
