In the ruins of District Eight, everyone knows that the woman who repairs clocks is not someone to mess with.
Lin Mo has a pair of hands that can fix anything. With seventeen files, eight screwdrivers, and a coil of copper wire, she can get a clock that has been stopped for thirty years ticking again, or shut down the most sophisticated prosthetic limb in an instant. She has only one rule: she does not repair prosthetics.
Until the day a military prosthetic engraved with her father’s handwriting is brought to her.
Her father disappeared ten years ago. Now his creation tells her that he is still alive, above the clouds, imprisoned by the three megacorporations.
To find him, Lin Mo breaks into the mechanical graveyard thirty-seven levels underground and rescues a man who has been imprisoned for ten years. He has a young face, eyes that flicker between light and darkness, and a mechanical heart containing a military AI. He calls her “Master’s daughter,” and she names him “Gear.”
Together, they storm the clouds, breach the tower, free thousands of imprisoned souls, and uncover the truth behind the “Immortality Project.” But just when everything seems to be over, Lin Mo realizes that the real enemy was never the three megacorporations. It is a poor soul trapped in a vessel for thirty years, who has forgotten who he is.
And the only way to defeat him is with a piece of candy, the words “I missed you too,” and a little figure woven from copper wire.
This is the oldest story in the cybernetic world: a story about coming home, and fixing the things that have been broken in our hearts.
The Chief Restorer of the Cybernetic World updates every day at 8 p.m. Lin Mo and Gear are waiting for you among the ruins.
This work from Tomato Fiction is stunning!

The protagonist's IQ is online, the details of the technical flow operation are realistic and touching, and the character's growth line is clear. The author explores the boundary between human nature and technology under the shell of science fiction, giving the story depth. If you are obsessed with cyber themes, this book is a must-read!
