Myriad Worlds: A Hacker Defies Heaven, and from the Start Meets Zhu Zhe!

Shen Lei binds himself to a System that spans the myriad worlds and drops into Ode to Joy 3, where he unlocks the ultimate hacking skills. After pocketing a $50,000 Microsoft bug bounty, he quits on the spot and moves into Ode to Joy, Apartment 2302. Zhu Zhe, Yu Chuhui, and He Minhong live downstairs.

Zhu Zhe asks him to fix her computer. Shen Lei restores in ten minutes the data someone else couldn't recover in a whole day, then insists on treating her to dinner. Yu Chuhui pesters him to teach her tech, so he guides her through finding bugs and claiming bounties. When Ye Zhenzhen's colleague forgets the password to a USB drive, he cracks it in two minutes and saves the research institute hundreds of thousands in the process.

He sells bugs on the dark web and gets paid 75 bitcoins, then legally funnels 20 million yuan back into China. Microsoft officially hires him at an annual salary of 1.8 million yuan, with remote work. Shen Lei takes Zhu Zhe for a drive in his brand-new BMW, while Yu Chuhui gazes at him from the passenger seat and asks, "Brother Lei, when are you taking me along for the ride?"

While the women on the 22nd floor are still fretting over rent and workplace worries, Shen Lei has already used his keyboard to open the gates to another world. Next stop: the System's prompt sounds again. It's time to save Rose.
