Espionage: The System Wants to Destroy the World? I Cultivate Immortality and Strike Back!

The good news: I transmigrated to a fictional world on the eve of the War of Resistance, and I came with a System that extracts the memories of the dead. I can crush the opposition with information.

The bad news: An AI ancestor from 2050 has traveled back in time and wants to fatten me up before destroying all of humanity.

His two identities couldn’t be more different. By day, he’s a miserly, cowardly nobody at the Special Investigations Bureau who drinks goji berry tea.

By night, he’s “Mr. J,” a shadowy military-industrial magnate who controls the entire Far Eastern front and produces weapons blueprints decades ahead of their time.

To evade the AI’s computational tracking, Lin Yuan launches a deranged campaign of “feints” as cover.

Chief Kawashima of the Japanese Tokko sets a series of deadly traps (sneering): “There’s no way you’ll escape this one!”

Lin Yuan whips out a prototype shoulder-fired high-explosive RPG and blasts the Tokko headquarters to smithereens.

As he dies, Kawashima questions everything: “What the hell kind of firepower does an agent in Republican-era China have?!”

A five-star general from the Stars and Stripes nation applies arrogant pressure, hoping to plunder the fruits of victory in the War of Resistance without lifting a finger.

Lin Yuan simply broadcasts folk music over the Pacific Fleet’s radio, then casually makes off with hundreds of millions of dollars from Wall Street.

The Allied commanders (breaking down): “Who hacked my fleet? Who?!”

As the Great Yan Nation grows richer with every battle, it even starts producing basic radar and self-propelled artillery.

At last, the System’s core realizes something is wrong: [Host, why has your data model strayed so far from the path to world destruction?]

Lin Yuan (raising an eyebrow): “Cut the crap. When’s the next blueprint coming? I’m going to build a cyber-heaven in the Golden Triangle!”
