[The Fourth Calamity] [Cthulhu] [Sci-Fi] [Smart Protagonist]
Lin Qing is a high school senior.
One ordinary afternoon, a strange old man lured him into an unfamiliar game world with a strange lie.
The game was remarkable. It required no download or installation package, and could be played with nothing but a headset.
At first, Lin Qing put on the headset just to give it a try, and entered the game world.
After solving a puzzle that wasn't too difficult, Lin Qing finally stepped out of the shelter.
This game world seemed just like the real world.
To test his suspicions, Lin Qing promptly took off his pants.
With that settled, Lin Qing finally began exploring this unfamiliar game world.
As he explored further, he became more and more convinced that this world was unnervingly real.
An asteroid had nearly wiped out human civilization at the height of its prosperity.
Mutated creatures, black technology, brain-computer interfaces, human evolution, and other supernatural forces gradually emerged.
People lost all morality and trust in one another. The survivors built one city after another amid the ruins.
Inside the cities lay a world of technology and order. Outside them was a breeding ground for chaos and crime.
But is a crime committed for the sake of survival still a crime?
Perhaps extraterrestrial civilizations really exist. Perhaps the future can truly be foreseen. Is the future of Earth 2401 really the future that awaits Earth?
All the answers lie hidden in this game called Earth 2401.
So who, exactly, is Lin Qing?
