Mirror Realm Merchant Farmer: From Genetic Rice to Dimensional Supremacy

In the lab in the dead of night, a gun is pressed to Chen Mo’s temple. An assassin from Black Crystal Group demands the gene sequence for Starburst Rice, the trump card he spent three years developing, a crop that could reshape the global food landscape.

“Steal the first-generation sequence?” Chen Mo sneers, activating the liquid nitrogen system to seal off their escape. “Without my key, all you’ll grow is a heap of dead grass.”

As Green Source Technology’s youngest research director, he’s as cunning as a fox. His emotional intelligence is a sharp blade at the negotiating table, while his shamelessness is his trump card when the odds are against him. But no one knows that his true reason for developing Starburst Rice is to uncover the secret behind his mother’s disappearance. An anonymous email from the mirror world’s “Silver Glass City” claims that her research notes are hidden deep inside a forbidden zone filled with liquid mercury.

Black Crystal Group’s manhunt, multinational agricultural companies’ stranglehold, and the dimensional threat of the Mirror Council all close in. With an AI companion housed in a mechanical raven and a quantum engineer who has defected, Chen Mo builds vertical farms and sets patent traps to take on his rivals in the real world, while crossing dimensional rifts to compete for antimatter energy among Silver Glass City’s virtual structures.

From the laboratory in Xinhai City to cooperatives on the African savanna, from a deadly struggle over polar energy mines to the dimensional showdown in Silver Glass City, he uses a single grain of rice as his game piece, stirring up economic turmoil in two worlds. When the half-virtual council speaker reveals a gene sequence resembling his mother’s, Chen Mo finally understands: this commercial war has never been just about profit. It is an ultimate game that will decide whether two worlds survive!
