Echoes of Kindness

Lin Chuan, 26 years old, is a community grid worker earning a monthly salary of 3,200. He rents a basement room and is despised by his ex-girlfriend. He thought his life would remain this way until, after an accident, he saw a translucent panel floating before his eyes: The Kindness Echo System has been activated. When you sincerely help others, your kindness will echo back to you in unexpected ways. From then on, Lin Chuan discovered that every time he sincerely helped someone, he would receive “Echo Points,” which could be exchanged for various skills, knowledge, and opportunities. More importantly, the people he had once helped would repay him in unexpected ways at crucial moments. He helped an auntie find her missing child, and the child’s father later became his greatest benefactor. He helped an elderly man repair a leaking pipe, and the old man’s son was the deputy director of the Municipal Planning Bureau. He sheltered a food delivery rider from the rain, and the rider’s boss introduced him to a crucial business partnership. Lin Chuan gradually realized that kindness was not a loss, but the most powerful form of compound interest in the world. From a lowly grid worker whom no one respected, he gradually became the warmest light in the city. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
