In 2157 AD, New Shanghai is a futuristic city suspended above neon and steel. It is also a battlefield where myths and technological games are undercurrent under the surface of order. Shen Shi, the young heir to the Shen Group, on a rainy night filled with the smell of metal, was bound to the "All Worlds Merit System" from an unknown dimension due to a pure act of kindness, and the trajectory of his life was changed forever.
The system gave him a mission: to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, to conquer the ancient mythical beasts living in the world, and to maintain the balance of merit in the universe. However, before the goodwill resounded, a well-planned storm of public opinion nailed him to the pillar of shame of "hypocrisy", and his merits declined instead of rising. At the same time, in the shadows of the city, serial disappearances occurred one after another, and the clues pointed directly to the monopoly giant "Chuosheng Technology".
Shen Shi conducted an in-depth investigation and was shocked to discover that the man behind Chuosheng Technology was actually his half-brother he had never met - Shen Yao. This Avenger, who is fully mechanized and believes in absolute order, is planning a terrifying plan that can annihilate the entire city of New Shanghai: to gather nine mythical beasts and throw them into the "Mythic Beast Furnace" to extract the dragon energy that maintains the fate of the city and reshape the "perfect world" in his mind.
Countdown, only seven days left. Shen Shi must race against time to find Tingting, Qingluan, Baize, Xuanwu, Suzaku, Baihu, Gouchen, Tengshe, Taotie, and Qiongqi amidst the misunderstandings and murderous plans. This is a journey between the steel jungle and ancient legends. It is the ultimate showdown about good and evil, order and freedom, technology and myth. The legend of the meritorious detective begins here.
