AI Against the World: From Security Guard to National Hero

In 2033, the “AI Superbrain” project launches, sending the desperate and the arrogant into virtual historical scenarios. They wager their lives for a chance to change their fates. Liu Jiang, a 31-year-old security guard who has repeatedly hit dead ends in the real world, finally chooses to step into the unknown AI world.

Alongside Zhao Lei, a demobilized soldier, and Lin Wei, a girl with leukemia, he forms a makeshift team. Their journey begins with a workers’ strike in Haicheng in the 1920s, then runs upstream through the river of history. The scenarios grow more difficult while the rewards remain meager. Relying on their street smarts and determination to stand together, they turn the tables time and again in desperate situations. From the chaos of the Republic of China era to the upheavals of the Ming and Qing dynasties, then to the wars of the Qin and Han, every mission is a test of life and death.

Liu Jiang leads his team in breaking through class barriers, turning the “better-than-everyone” elite of the real world into laughingstocks in the AI world. They master skills and strengthen their genes, growing from the oppressed into pillars of their nation. When the global player showdown begins, awakened champions of Chinese civilization will face off against players from every country in a final contest. The victors will shape humanity’s interstellar future. This is a passionate epic of ordinary people rising from the bottom, reflecting real-world hardships through virtual history and telling the heroic tale of everyday people.
