Synopsis

My name is Lin Fan. I failed the college entrance exam and became a freshman at a vocational college.

All summer, to numb myself, I immersed myself in a hardcore single-player mobile game called Civilization Sandbox.

From hunting with bows and arrows to the Industrial Revolution... I got hooked, neglecting food and sleep, and spent all 800 yuan of my living expenses on the game.

My mom called me a hopeless case, and my relatives said my life was over.

I didn't argue. If I could, I'd want to be a university student too...

I didn't pay any attention during the first class of the semester,

because I was looking at my phone. In the game, my civilization was trying to connect a controlled nuclear fusion power plant to the grid!

I stared at the documents in the engineer's hands, stunned.

Not only could I understand them, they didn't look fake!

At the lectern, the old professor spoke with great confidence. I raised my hand, trembling.

"Professor... if I publish a top-tier paper, can I transfer into a bachelor's program?"

The professor smiled. "On what subject?"

I glanced at the documents in the game.

"The Industrial Applications of Controlled Nuclear Fusion and Important Considerations."

The whole class burst into laughter.

The professor's face turned livid...

My name is Xiya, the 8,080th supreme administrator of the Gaia Civilization.

From the moment our civilization was born, we have basked in divine grace.

When we faced danger, God sent us miracles.

When we were ignorant, God gave us writing.

God said, You must revere technology...

So we ushered in an explosion of technological progress!

Controlled nuclear fusion, seventh-generation fighter jets, warp drives... We completed the theoretical frameworks one after another!

Everything we do is for the sake of reaching a distant star called "Earth."

As the most devout believers, we will embark on a pilgrimage!

This is a pure, enjoyable read from beginning to end. Its strength lies in the absence of contrived, unnecessary plot points; its weakness is that you can't focus on the details. Skimming through the pages is the best way to experience this novel – just enjoy the thrill! The early part was a fast-paced, mindless, and enjoyable read, but now it's suddenly become toxic.

Holy crap, this is so good! The plot is fast-paced and engaging. Aside from the slightly aloof female academician at the beginning, which was a bit off-putting, the author didn't dwell on her much afterward. The whole story felt like it really captured the atmosphere of China; no one was jealous of the protagonist's success and resorted to harming their own kind or framing others.

This is a very good book. It's vivid and engaging, not boring at all, and doesn't try to be pretentious or slap people in the face. Regarding the 3,000 yuan mentioned earlier, let me put it this way: try publishing a journal article. My work environment is quite poor. I published in an internal journal once and only received 500 yuan in total.

It's a typical "feel-good" novel, all for the sake of being entertaining, but undeniably, that's exactly why I read it – for the sheer enjoyment of the story. 👍

The technology is excellent, and the plot is good, but there's too much time spent on technological research, making it feel a bit rushed. They should add some slice-of-life scenes to balance it out. The initial excitement isn't permanent; it needs ups and downs, moments of calm, dramatic tension, and grand scale to be truly captivating and leave a lasting impression. 💕💕💕💕💕💕

This is a very interesting and exciting science fiction novel. Interestingly, he abandoned many complex and rambling plots, making it very suitable for people with today's fast-paced lifestyle. His strategy was to make money, upgrade technology, make money again, and then upgrade technology again. The key point is that he didn't upgrade technology little by little.

As a light novel, it's acceptable. However, remember... Don't watch it with your brain. Don't watch it with your brain. Don't watch it with your brain.

"Urging the Ode" I admire your magnificent writing, and my heart pounds with longing. I recall the initial amazement upon reading it, a feeling as refreshing as a spring breeze. To behold the exquisite beauty of the words is like being draped in brocade. Whenever I unroll a book and ponder deeply, I often forget to eat and forget the midday.
