My Code Can Save the World, but My Boss Keeps Trying to Protect...

I'm Bai Youran, a top-tier programmer.

My dream in life is to get perfect-attendance bonuses and year-end bonuses.

Then the core encryption device I designed, "Pangu," was stolen in Paris,

and my peaceful life as a wage slave was completely over.

Forced to team up with Lin Wei, a glamorous state security agent who poses as a project manager but is actually ferocious,

my world turned into this:

International spies are hunting me across the globe,

while a mysterious organization has laid a vast trap behind me.

I can't use a gun or fight,

so whenever I'm in danger, all I can do is cry, "Lin Wei, help!"

It's always incredibly awkward.

But they all underestimate the imagination of a tech geek.

I've used chewing gum to jam a router,

blinded top assassins with instant noodle seasoning packets,

and turned the tables in desperate situations with a privacy screen and selfie stick.

My battlefield isn't a hail of bullets,

but an invisible maze built from data and logic.

Now they tell me

that "Pangu" is connected to an ancient protocol capable of changing the world,

and that I'm the key to activating it.

From urban espionage to secret realms in the snowy mountains, I'm such a fool, truly.

I thought working in tech would get me a year-end bonus,

I didn't know I'd also have to save the world along the way!
