Negative-plus-partial. The term "golden finger" (金手指) does not occur in any of the six fetched texts (search over decoded text: 0 hits for 金手指, "golden finger", "cheat" in all six). A web search surfaced only fan/community pages and a Chinese wiki entry that ties the term to game cheat codes; none were fetched. What the readable Wuxiaworld page does document are the same kind of advantage under other names: attribute-panel systems, simulators with save-and-retry, a magical artifact (Han Li's green bottle) and farming systems. Use these as documented device types and treat "golden finger" as an unverified label.
