On the Spring Equinox of 2025, the world was suddenly enveloped by a translucent "doomsday loading interface", and a blood-red countdown appeared on the retinas of 10 billion people: "The doomsday copy is about to open - in 72 hours, the real world will be fully digitized."
At the same time, 28-year-old network security engineer Chen Mo received the only "error loading prompt" in the entire server:
[Warning: Abnormal player data detected——
You gain the passive skill "Code Gaze": it can analyze the data structure of all things and tamper with rule loopholes (cooling time: permanently locked);
Your "survival system" initial level is 0, health value is 1/1, hunger value, pollution value, and sanity value will be synchronized with the real state in real time;
Note: Your account will be deleted upon death and there is no chance of resurrection.
When the countdown reaches zero, the giant BOSS "Deformed Symbiote" appears on the city streets, and humans begin to randomly mutate into "infected people" or "awakened people", and the air is filled with "data dust" that can tamper with DNA. Chen Mo discovered that he, who was judged as "wrong" by the system, could actually see the "underlying code" of all objects - the broken steel bars were "+5 blunt material" that could be picked up, the infected person's weakness was a memory address that was overflowing, and even the "trust value" above the survivors' heads quietly revealed the possibility of betrayal.
In order to survive in this cruel world that divides humans into "players", "NPCs" and "wild monsters", Chen Mo had to team up with a seemingly harmless "healing support" girl, a "former special player" who knows the secrets of the army, and a mysterious programmer who seems to know the truth about the system.
