(A lighthearted power fantasy featuring information warfare, business battles, urban superpowers, and the growth of an entrepreneurial protagonist group)
The day he loses his job, Lin Zhi is struck by lightning and gains the ability to read minds. He hears his girlfriend call him useless in her thoughts, while the lottery shop owner keeps muttering about a number that has not come up in three years.
Using his information advantage, he earns his first pot of gold, starts Di Ting Technology in a garage, and meets Su Yue, a financial whiz, and Ye Xiaorou, a young hacker.
From covert battles in the stock market to ancient martial arts training, and from struggling on the streets to being recruited by national security, Lin Zhi rises step by step amid a flood of information.
But the shadow of the Curtain Society is quietly drawing near. For a hundred years, every “receiver” has either died or been imprisoned. This time, he will forge a third path.
