"Eternal Night" tells the story of landscape designer Lin Shen who accidentally awakens the power of "turning paper into gold", but maintains the humblest appearance of a social animal amidst the fireworks of the city. During the day, he squatted in an urban village to measure the inclination angle of old water pipes, and drew dry landscape drawings for community renovation projects; late at night, Song Dynasty Jiaozi grew wildly on the mezzanine of "Creation Method", the ginkgo root system turned into a biological money printing machine, and liquid gold shook in his mother's anti-cancer medicine bottle.
He used ancient building restoration projects to weave a dark web - blockchain chips were embedded in the cracks of blue bricks, cold wallets were hidden in paper ingots in funeral shops, and transnational gold flows surged under flood control sandbags. When the hand-planted cherry blossom trees spewed polonium-210, and trainee police officer Xiao Nan's radiometer pierced the perfect mask, Lin Shen discovered that the most dangerous vulnerability was the one who was still raising money for his mother to replace his joints.
In the resonance of Jinding in Bronze Town, a financial plague that spanned seven hundred years awakens: the spices from the shipwreck in Quanzhou swallow up modern radiation, the mother's cancer cells mutate into biological keys, and the cherry blossom rain in the community park sets off a tsunami of digital currency. When the torrent of money is about to overwhelm the dam of humanity, Lin Shen must choose to burn all the golden patterns or become a sacrifice in the collision of old and new civilizations.
This book uses the writing style of Eastern cyberpunk to dissect the wealth lesions of modern society. The dry landscape courtyard resonates with the blockchain mining pool, and the market breakfast stalls evaporate the mist of capital. Finally, in the bronze rust of the Zhenjin tripod, we can see the appearance of all living beings who are trapped in the eyes of money in every era - we are all prisoners of money, and it is also the golden light that breaks the eternal night.
