In this era where spiritual energy is quantified into data streams and practicing exercises is like compiling code, everyone can practice by accessing "Skynet", and the soul can even be uploaded to the cloud to achieve an alternative "eternal life".
Su Qi, a "data garbage guy" in the "Settlement Zone" of Jiuxiao City, makes a living by recycling discarded psychic magic weapons and cracking expired encryption techniques. His biggest dream is to save enough money to buy himself the cheapest soul insurance.
Until that day, a fight between gods took place in the "Data Cemetery", and he accidentally obtained a "garbled soul crystal" that could not be parsed or deleted.
From then on, the world changed in his eyes.
Logical loopholes in the operation of the exercises, fatal flaws in the psychic matrix, redundant codes in other people's moves... The whole world seemed to have become a huge program with an open backend to him.
While the world is still struggling to understand a hint of "Tao", Su Qi is thinking about whether he should implant a Trojan horse into his opponent's natal magic weapon, or directly modify the core code in his golden elixir and let him "system crash" on the spot?
"Um... Fellow Taoist, your code for the 'Qinglian Sword Code' is well written, but there are too many cyclic redundancies. I suggest you optimize it."
"Senior, the firewall version of your mountain guard formation is too low. I can hack in easily..."
A "bug" in the world, a "plug-in" of heaven, a guy who gives all "programmers" a headache, was forced to start his journey of "deleting the library and running away". However, he gradually discovered that he was involved in a huge conspiracy involving the complete formatting of the world's underlying code.
