Lin Zhou, an ordinary social worker on the verge of unemployment, unexpectedly awakened the [All Things Echo System] when he accidentally touched the dusty old belongings of the company. This world is not as simple as it appears. Every object and every inch of land may contain "echoes" of the past - forgotten secrets, unspoken truths, fleeting business opportunities, or even... Whispers that touch taboos. The [All Things Echo System] allows Lin Zhou to listen to these sounds buried by time.
"Ding! The echo of the 'lucky coin' is detected: the holder picked up an important contract at the corner coffee shop ten minutes later."
"Ding! The echo of the 'abandoned factory foundation' was detected: Buried deep beneath it is a priceless rare mineral node."
"Ding! The echo of the 'Antique Vase' was detected: it had witnessed an unknown wealthy transaction, and... A clue pointing to the world of shadows."
With the ability to listen to all things, Lin Zhou began to counterattack in the city. Trash in the eyes of others may be treasure in his hand; in deadlocks at the negotiation table, he can hear his opponent's hidden cards; in unsolved mysteries, he can capture key clues that have been overlooked.
From a counterattack in the workplace, to a business empire, to gradually uncovering the mystery hidden under the bustling city... Lin Zhou discovered that this system not only allowed him to hear the past, but also seemed to be able to... Touch the ripples of the future, and even link to existences that ordinary people could not understand.
When everything whispers to you, the whole world will become your chessboard.
