Traffic Oracle

Kang Ze, a poor student saddled with his father’s gambling debts, suffers bullying and exploitation at the hands of Zhao Mingxuan, a rich second-generation heir, both on campus and at his part-time job. After a near-death experience, he awakens a supernatural ability called “Traffic Foresight”: his eyes can clearly see the tides of online traffic over the next 24 hours. He sees it as his last chance to turn his life around. Using his ability, Kang Ze predicts trending topics with pinpoint accuracy. He goes from working late-night shifts as a game-boosting service provider to becoming the anonymous streaming world’s “Prophet,” raking in traffic and tips with outlandish product picks and tactical predictions, and quickly earning his first fortune. But his rise threatens the interests of the esports club owned by Zhao Mingxuan’s family, and draws the attention of the mysterious supernatural organization known as the “Cleaners.” Lin Wei, once the class monitor who bullied him and now a top streamer under Zhao Mingxuan, faces a dilemma after discovering that Kang Ze is the “Prophet.” With help from his allies, former esports legend “Old K” and the hacker girl “Ghost,” Kang Ze fends off Zhao Mingxuan’s commercial and public-opinion attacks while evading the Cleaners’ pursuit. In the end, he takes the fight to the live broadcast of the annual esports finals, where Zhao Mingxuan’s family has wagered a fortune. Using his ability to reveal the match’s outcome ahead of time before an audience of hundreds of millions, turn the tide of traffic against his opponents, and expose the Zhao family’s match-fixing scandal, Kang Ze achieves revenge for both his finances and his dignity. He also proclaims to the world: in the new age, whoever controls traffic is king. But the true final boss, the leader of the Cleaners, is watching through a screen and smiling meaningfully at this newly risen “King of Traffic.”
