Ling Chen, an ordinary programmer who was crushed by 996, laid off, and beaten by reality, accidentally awakened a mysterious system called [Vientiane Editor] at the darkest moment of his life.
He was shocked to find that the entire world turned into lines of scrolling code in his eyes. Wild cats on the roadside have parameters of [health value] and [emotional value], companies about to go bankrupt have complex [luck function] and [asset variables], and even people's hearts and fate are [logic scripts] that can be read and modified.
What will a programmer do when he has the authority to modify the world's source code?
Fixing a flickering street light is just a small step in the making.
Modify the [attractiveness weight] of a resume to easily get top offers.
Locking in the "up and down logic" of a stock can turn the financial market upside down.
However, Ling Chen soon discovered that he was not the only "player". Other "programmers" hidden in the shadow of the world are engaged in a silent "business war" - they modify reality, manipulate destiny, and use the world as a chessboard. And a mysterious existence called a "system administrator" is just like hunting viruses, eliminating these "illegal" code modifiers.
This is a programmer's ultimate fantasy, and it's also a dangerous game that bets on reality.
Welcome to the real world of code building. Every "submission" you make is reshaping the future.
