Synopsis

Nan Feng, a food delivery driver with terminal stomach cancer, has only six months to live. In his despair, he unexpectedly activates the [Wild Ideas Technology System]. As long as he completes a cutting-edge technology project, he can exchange it for a life-extending drug! A comeback against terminal illness: He builds a fusion reactor by hand, catching the attention of national security. He hands over the technology, only to be hunted around the world. He develops an anticancer drug but is ambushed by a Japanese assassin, rewriting the history of human technology amid gunfire as he coughs up blood! Family bonds: He drops out of school to support his younger siblings, delivering food and living in a tiny room on instant noodles, yet he leads his whole village out of poverty. He donates his million-yuan prize to his hometown, only to be shot through the chest while receiving an award at the ancestral hall... A romantic battlefield: He rejects his first love, the campus belle, because he fears ruining her life, but she kisses him and vows, "I'll wait three years, and then three more!" They wear matching outfits in the snowy night; she rushes into his arms in the lab to confess her love, but the secret behind his coughing up blood keeps their relationship painfully tangled! Dark currents surge: A Japanese power offers a fortune for fusion data, a crime boss stages a car crash to silence him, and the mastermind laughs over a satellite phone: "A genius? Let him be buried among the mountains and rivers of Linru!" When the countdown to his death is bound to the rise of a great nation... With his left arm in a sling, he roars at the United Nations: "Chinese technology never needs to bow to anyone!"

Tech Novels About Someone Advancing Technology Alone With a Golden Finger

No pretentious face-slapping stories, and nothing involving the state. With technology stories, the moment the state gets involved, everyone suddenly loses their intelligence. So I want stories that don’t involve the state.
