The Game Mutated, and I Can Overhaul the 1970s

At 25, Lin Mo is a prodigy, already the chief chip designer at a major domestic company despite his young age.

But fate is cruel to geniuses. A year ago, Lin Mo was diagnosed with advanced progeria. Now, at 25, he looks like a man in his seventies or eighties. The doctor sighed and told him he had at most one year to live.

Having come to terms with it, Lin Mo turned down the company’s offer to keep him on and decided to leave. After receiving a huge compensation package, he went home.

He planned to spend his final days in peace. He picked up his phone to watch a livestream by his favorite streamer, Huai Kongkong, but found a game called “1979: I Came from the Future” on it. With nothing else to do, he started playing. As the game progressed, Lin Mo gradually began to realize something was wrong.
