Han Xiaoxing, an overworked programmer, is staying up late fixing bugs when a mysterious pop-up transports him to the year 3174, a future world ruled by the Mechanist Church. Entertainment is forbidden here, and happiness is the enemy of productivity. And his mission is... to run an underground internet café?
System KPIs:
✔️ Recruit 1,000 players in the first month
✔️ Average player online time of at least one hour
✔️ Evade surprise inspections by the Mechanist Church
❌ Failure penalty: get rebuilt into a half-mechanical janitor
Business strategy:
✓ Use Tetris to lure slum kids into becoming the first users
✓ Create homemade “daily login rewards”: all-you-can-eat mechanical candy
✓ Disguise neural interface headsets as “industrial training equipment”
✓ When faced with a raid, rush out a game called High Priest Simulator to fool the bosses
From a hidden underground internet café to an interstellar gaming empire, an overworked wage slave uses Earth’s playbook to crush the future with a technological generation gap!
The wage slave’s ultimate nightmare: even after transmigrating, you still have to meet your KPIs!
Cyberpunk internet café management: trade instant noodles for players and use bugs to dodge inspections
The future world’s adorable contrast: high tech, low living standards. The Mechanist Church banning entertainment is just like a homeroom teacher banning phones.
