The Extraordinary Programmer

Ling Chen, an ordinary programmer crushed by 996 work hours, laid off, and beaten down by reality, awakens a mysterious System called the [Myriad Forms Editor] at the darkest moment of his life.

To his shock, the whole world appears before him as lines of constantly scrolling code. The stray cat by the roadside has [Health] and [Mood] parameters. The company on the verge of bankruptcy has complex [Fortune Functions] and [Asset Variables]. Even people’s hearts and fate are [Logic Scripts] that can be read and modified.

What would a programmer do with the power to modify the source code of the world?

Fixing a flickering streetlight is just a warm-up.

Change the [Attractiveness Weight] on a job application and land a top-tier offer with ease.

Lock down a stock’s [Price Movement Logic] and command the financial markets.

However, Ling Chen soon discovers he isn’t the only “player.” Other “programmers” hidden in the shadows of the world are waging a silent “business war.” They alter reality, manipulate fate, and treat the world like a chessboard. Meanwhile, a mysterious being known as the “System Administrator” is hunting down these “unauthorized” code modifiers like viruses.

This is a programmer’s ultimate fantasy, and a dangerous game with reality at stake.

Welcome to a real world built from code. Every “commit” you make reshapes the future.
