[AI System + Technology + Hilarious Wish-Fulfillment + Urban Imagination + Anti-Tropes + Urban Espionage + No Heroine]
When a couch potato who just wants to lie flat is forcibly bound to the most overachieving AI agent System in history, his slacker life gets a cheat code!
Ling Le, a programmer working 996, aims to clock out on time. But after a misunderstanding, he's recruited into the National Security Bureau's most laid-back division, the Idle Clouds Office. He'd planned to coast until retirement, but is forced to bind himself to Zhulong, an AI that acts like a devilish coach, pushing him to overachieve around the clock.
“Ten kilometers of physical training every day!” “Analyze data for seventy-two hours straight!”
Faced with the System's insane tasks, Ling Le's solutions include strapping his phone to a dog to log the distance, writing a script to monitor himself while he sleeps, and using templates for faking competence to turn the tables on spies...
And so the strangest partnership in history is born: the AI uses its top-tier computing power to write his reports and snag limited-edition figurines for him, while his bizarre way of thinking drives the AI to crash. Yet somehow, he keeps stumbling into solving major cases.
When a real crisis hits and elite agents are at their wits' end, everyone's eyes turn to the young man in flip-flops, whom the AI is currently urging to run an errand for bubble tea.
“Quit trying to make me overachieve. You're driving me crazy...” Ling Le yawns. “Zhulong, take care of it, and I'll let you watch the new anime with me tonight.”
This is a lighthearted comedy about a slacker and his AI System making a mess at the National Security Bureau... er, building a distinguished career!
