A Laid-Back Programmer Saves the World's Vegetable Markets with Code

Chen Mo is an ordinary programmer at an internet company. He coasts through the day watching short videos, earns a monthly salary of 5,200 yuan, and rents a quaint old house for 6,000 yuan a month.

When the company rolls out a 996 work schedule, he complains to everyone's face while privately studying A Guide to Avoiding Sudden Death. After an elevator malfunction reveals his emergency escape skills, everyone mistakes him for a tech genius.

After helping an intern fix a bug, he sees his supervisor take credit for his code. Then his side project, an order-snatching plugin for the wet market, is exposed, and he unexpectedly gains a golden finger.

The System can precisely forecast market trends, optimize logistics, control prices, and even link to Taobao data to stabilize the cost of essentials.

With his golden finger, he goes from a nobody to a key member of the project team, cracks a Republican-era cipher box, and uncovers millions of property deeds along with a historical mystery.

When faced with infighting, data leaks, and power struggles among executives, he uses code to turn the tables, rising from the fringes to the heart of the company's leadership.

He sees the company through its IPO crisis, cross-border business battles, and data fraud scandals, using a shadow network built through the wet market to save the group.

In the end, he uncovers the truth of history and uses technology to protect the city's memory, becoming the leader of a coalition of digital-age problem-solvers.

From a slacker to a CEO, he changes his fate with code, and changes the entire world along the way. And his legend is far from over.
