Ye Meng is a third-year computer science student at S University, obsessed with the full-dive online game Heaven's Journey as a way to escape the pressure of his thesis.
The game's world is technologically advanced, and the boundary between reality and virtuality is blurred. Anyone can connect through a wristband.
From the start, he runs around naked and gets mocked as a "bald freak." He can't even beat the weakest monsters in the starter village, leaving him in an awkward predicament.
A lucky draw unexpectedly grants him a special talent: I Went Bald, and Got Stronger.
Talent effects: You cannot wear or equip any items. You can devour one piece of "equipment" or an "item," permanently converting 10% to 100% of its stats into your own, depending on the item's level and how well it suits you. This also comes with a hidden effect.
While everyone else relies on equipment, he devours. His stats skyrocket, his combat power becomes absurd, and he gradually makes a name for himself.
Even more astonishingly, his power can be reflected in reality.
From a nobody to an outlier, he leaves players stunned: "How does this bald guy get stronger the balder he gets?"
While others are still desperately searching for legendary gear, he uses his world-devouring power to shatter dungeon records.
One day, he will devour the ultimate divine artifact and uncover the astonishing secret behind the game and reality.
The plot is ridiculous and worth looking forward to
