A Hundred Days in Lockdown with Bai Lu, and I Become a Global Sensation

Jiang Chen transmigrates to a parallel world and joins a wildly popular global confinement show as an ordinary contestant. Contestants compete in pairs, and each person can bring one item into the confinement room. The rooms are buried hundreds of meters underground, completely cut off from the outside world. There are no network devices, and contestants can't even tell what time it is. They have only basic necessities. Whoever lasts the longest wins the competition and billions in prize money. The show is livestreamed around the world. To last longer and take the top prize, the other contestants choose to bring Go, Chinese chess, comics, and novels to pass the time. Jiang Chen, however, brings only a thick stack of paper. He also insists that his partner, Bai Lu, can bring nothing but a pen, leaving both the audience and the production crew dumbfounded. But who could have guessed that on the very first day of confinement, he would write The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng in front of hundreds of millions of viewers, stunning Longguo? By the fifth day, he writes The Old Man and the Sea before hundreds of millions of viewers. A month later, he writes One Hundred Years of Solitude. In the second month, he paints the masterpiece Mona Lisa in front of everyone. In the third month, he tackles Goldbach's conjecture. In the fourth, he writes down the formula for controlled nuclear fusion. In the fifth, he draws a conceptual design for a miniature lithography machine. After a hundred days in confinement, he becomes a global sensation and rewrites the history of civilization.
