Her livestream goes disastrously wrong and gets her labeled a “hacker”? Lin Xia looks at the official account-ban notice and laughs until she cries. Her gameplay is so terrible it’s practically painful to watch, yet it was actually ruled
On the surface, she’s the hilarious streamer of the “A Slacker’s Comeback Is a Bit Bumpy” channel, hopelessly bad at games but hopelessly addicted, constantly pulling stunts and bouncing between “on top of the world” and “rock bottom.” In truth, she’s the ghost hacker feared even by top professional players: Ghost.
When the game company’s president, Mr. Zhang, solemnly announces that “cheater” Lin Xia will be banned, then turns around and offers Ghost a huge consulting fee, Lin Xia laughs hysterically in her empty room. “You ban my alt account, then ask me to be your security consultant? Mr. Zhang, your script is even more entertaining than my gameplay!”
To expose the shocking conspiracy behind the frame-up, Lin Xia assembles the “Phantom” team: tech geek A Zhe sees through the data lies, cool beauty Su Lan skillfully controls the battle for public opinion, and passionate fanboy Zhao Yang becomes their rallying cry. Going undercover as a consultant, she faces off against Mr. Zhang in a heart-pounding double game, hiding behind a shifting array of goofy, composed, brooding, and unhinged masks.
The president’s public apology comes out of nowhere, and it’s perfect? Her teammates’ trust is suddenly threatened by a wedge driven between them? Every apparent dead end is another precise move Lin Xia makes from the shadows.
Then one night, Lin Xia relaunches her livestream. Facing hundreds of millions of viewers, she laughs with biting scorn and unshakable resolve: “Your company’s security, your company’s security flaws are worse than my acting!” A crimson countdown begins on the black screen...
When the homepage of Apex Tech’s official website is forcibly switched, what pops up is no longer a game announcement, but a confession from its president, Zhang XX.
How to say it? A very novel setting, and each character is also very three-dimensional. Like, like.
