Lin Mo, a programmer who was on the verge of being scrapped in 996 Fu Bao, discovered that he had a DOS-style operating system on his retina after an accidental electric shock. This system, which calls itself the "Earth Data Core", gave him a mysterious seed that can "eat" electronic waste and bear "data fruits".
He originally thought it was a code for wealth to escape the prison of the city and return to his hometown to farm, but he found that what was wrapped in the fruit was not wealth, but the forgotten and fragmented digital memories of strangers. A childhood video, an unsent email, the coordinates in a game... These seemingly useless "digital garbage" have drawn him into a storm about memory, privacy and technology ethics.
His boss, a technological elite who believed that "data is everything", sensed the huge value hidden behind these raw data and pressed forward step by step. And a mysterious woman who runs a weird plant shop has become very interested in the "unnatural" plant itself.
Lin Mo is forced to choose between the cold digital world and organic human emotions. Should he profit from these memory fragments, or explore the lost stories behind them? While he thought he was "farming," he was actually plowing a digital graveyard of the remains of the Information Age. And the ultimate truth may be buried in the "useless data" that everyone is eager to delete.
