Just as layoffs and the System arrived, Li Aiden's life was utterly transformed. From struggling to survive at the bottom of Shanghai society to commanding the stars, he relied on more than the System's gifts. He also had a forgotten "summer assignment" from a "god."
Gravitational-wave engines, miniature nuclear fusion, mind uploading, gene editing... With the cutting-edge technology of a Level Three civilization as easy to get as cabbages, wealth and power came within easy reach, but so did the dangers lurking in the depths of space.
The pursuit by the Skynet Group, the scrutiny of the World-Eater's Shadow, the Star Ring Merchant Guild's suppression, the Harvesters' covetous gaze, the arrival of the Gaia Guardians, and the shadow of the Observer Network... Li Aiden realized he seemed to have been drawn into a cosmic game of chess centered on Earth, Gaia's will, a mysterious "Key," and the "Primordial Codex."
An unusual group of companions gathered around him: a simple-minded but Gaia-bound brother, a "false god" AI fused from light and darkness, and two mysterious kittens symbolizing the cosmic origins of "Genesis" and "End."...
On this volatile interstellar stage, how will Li Aiden use his distinctive "workhorse spirit" and "deadbeat debtor" cunning to maneuver among the various factions, unravel layer upon layer of mystery, and uncover the ultimate secrets of Earth and the universe? And how will he balance his power and ambition, avoiding losing sight of his original self as he pursues wealth and authority?
This is not just the epic comeback of an ordinary wage earner. It is also a cosmic journey through technology, mythology, conspiracy, and human nature.
The sad process of a wage earner's efforts to turn himself around. Worth a look. Very nice. Worth a look
It will be more interesting after going to the universe.
