Su Wujiu, a young man from the ninth satellite city, passed the hell-level assessment with his genius algorithmic ability and obtained the "temporary residence code" of "New Chang'an". He thought he could get a foothold here with his technology, but he was assigned to the most brutally competitive "Xi Shi 996 Square", engaged in the lowest level of AI data annotation work, and lived in a "honeycomb capsule" that could only accommodate him.
He found that his contribution points were growing slowly, while rent, commuting, and basic living expenses were eating up points like crazy. Colleagues around me may have been forcibly sent home because their contribution points were cleared, or they may have been "offlined" due to overwork. Su Wujiu realized that the system seemed fair, but in fact it was carefully designed to be an invisible cage that hunted outsiders.
By chance, he discovered a tiny "crack" in the data flow of the "Tianshu System" in the underground pipe network of old Tangfang City. He took advantage of this loophole and was like walking in the "ghost market" of modern Chang'an, secretly "adjusting" contribution points for himself and a few companions, and coming into contact with the "bad guys" of underground organizations who resisted the system.
However, the deeper he touches the field, the pursuit from the upper-level supervisory AI "Jinwuwei", the crisis from internal betrayal, and the torture of his own moral bottom line follow one after another. Su Wujiu must make the ultimate choice between maintaining his own survival, protecting his companions, and completely tearing apart the veil of hypocrisy in the system. He wants to get a place in Chang'an, but in the end he may have to think about whether to "settle" in Chang'an or "change" Chang'an.
