Synopsis

[No harem, a secret identity, one heroine: Ling...]

Host: “Ladies and gentlemen! The Hollow threat has once again been contained, and New Eridu is safe and sound once more! Now, let’s reveal the winner of this Hollow Crisis Outstanding Contribution Award!”

“He is a man of mystery, highly skilled, and always provides crucial tactical guidance at the most critical moments;

he moves with lightning speed, darting through the rifts to carve a path for the front-line teams;

he works quietly behind the scenes, yet through his unique ‘methods,’ provides our heroes with vital ‘status support’...”

(The camera suddenly sweeps across the audience, stopping on Bai Qian, who looks utterly bewildered and is just about to stand up.)

Host (voice rising with fervor): “That’s right! It’s you: our Defense Force’s reliable comrade, the mysterious ‘Ghost’ of the Inter-Knot, the beloved Commissioner Bai of the city administration...”

(Bai Qian waves to the curious and admiring looks of those around him.)

Host (shouting with all his might): “The energy supplier behind it all: the New Eridu Urban Power Grid System!

Congratulations, you’ve won this round’s MVP! Let’s welcome a representative of the power company to the stage to accept the award!”

(The music abruptly stops. Bai Qian’s smile freezes. The entire venue falls silent, then erupts into even more enthusiastic, strangely ambiguous applause.)

Bai Qian: “Well, damn. I’ve become a freeloader who wins without lifting a finger.”

System: “That AI named Ghost uses a lot of electricity, too...”

Ghost (AI): “Master, every cent of my electricity bill is worth it. Besides, Bangboo Brian used more electricity than I did last month.”

A rare gem, completely free of fanfiction, and the fact that it doesn't include a harem is truly amazing. Some authors these days act like they've never seen a woman before, wanting to take in any woman they can get, which is nauseating. The plot is interesting, the writing is humorous and mature, there are plenty of satisfying moments, and the protagonist's charisma is consistently high.

Does anyone understand the joy of seeing the synopsis changed to a single female lead, Rin, after finishing the latest chapter? It's like my favorite pairing has been officially confirmed! I'm so incredibly happy right now! *Sizzling sounds* The author's depiction of the romance is truly masterful; it's sweet without being cloying.

The avid reader finished the book in one go. Its greatest strength is its smooth flow; the protagonist's transformation and AI are particularly unique. The plot's entry point is also well-written, unlike other books where the protagonist's screen time feels abrupt. Many plot points have been altered, making it less boring. The emotional arcs of each character are also well-developed. The only question is whether it will feature multiple female leads or a single female lead.

An underrated novel with good writing, no out-of-character moments, and no female lead—at least not yet, which is quite rare. Of all the fantasy novels I've read, including fanfiction, this is the only one without a female lead.

It's a good read, one of the better ones in the "Zero Zone" series. I haven't found any major flaws yet. The protagonist has three AI cheat codes: a system, a Ghost, and a "genius child." I wonder if there will be a female lead later on, but the author has said there are no plans for one at the moment. 😎

The author's writing style and plot control are excellent; none of the characters have gone out of character so far, and the theme is very novel. Among so many fanfics about Zero, this is a top-notch work and definitely worth reading. I hope the author continues to work hard!

Not bad; the romance is engaging; it follows the main storyline; the various side stories are quite entertaining. The single female lead, Rin, is a very pure love story. The romance is very comfortable to watch; it's the kind of feeling where you suddenly exclaim, "Wow! I've found my match!" There are many small interactions, making you want to keep watching because of them.

Hahaha, so good!

(Note: The protagonist is a real person, not an electric grid. I actually misunderstood the title at first glance.) This is a perfect score! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it until the end. It's not an obviously invincible story, but the protagonist hasn't suffered any setbacks yet, his combat power is sufficient, and he's saved everyone he needed to.

What is a battle of wits? It's still a battle of wits with thin air, still treating the protagonist as a reclusive master, still automatically imagining the protagonist's identity. Protagonist: Just a bored mayor: He must have his business behind this. Protagonist: Just going home. Eve (for some reason): He's a big shot, following a group of mice (because of the butterfly effect).
