In 2033, the era of online gaming for all people has arrived.
Blue Star launches the world's first holographic immersive MMORPG "Tianheng". Players can 100% dive into the game through the brain-computer interface, and the most thrilling thing is - the game currency can be exchanged for real currency at 1:1!
Overnight, countless unemployed people saw hope, migrant workers saw a way out, and even those who had jobs were eager to try. Who doesn't want to achieve financial freedom in the game?
Jiang Xiaobai, an ordinary college student, was once a passionate gamer.
Three years ago, he achieved a full-level account in the previous-generation online game "Glory" and was one step away from entering the professional league. However, ex-girlfriend Su Yan colluded with Zhang Yu, the son of the richest man in Dragon City, and stole his account for money. Zhang Yu used that account to show off to the whole server, but Jiang Xiaobai was laughed at by everyone - "The account was stolen", "You are the fake", "You don't have that strong a skill at all".
His former teammates left for profit, and his former guild kicked him out for resources. Jiang Xiaobai fell from the clouds and became a "rookie" and "fake" that everyone laughed at.
This is not a game that can be won with krypton gold.
This is an era where technology crushes money.
From the ridiculed "rookie" to the "loan master" who is feared by the whole server; from a single player to forming the most bizarre "Catching Fire" guild; from the first kill in the novice village, to winning the professional league, to saving the earth in the final plane war...
Jiang Xiaobai proved with his strength:
If you don't have the technology, it's useless to spend money.
