One-sentence summary: After a power shock, Fu Er, a bankrupt cockroach farmer, accidentally connects tens of millions of cockroaches into a living supercomputer. Starting with high-purity protein farming, he unlocks the tech trees for biological AI, insect-swarm security, living architecture, and carbon-silicon life sciences, quietly making a fortune on Qingling Mountain.

In the year 2027 of the Blue Star calendar, the Qingling Mountain Special Protein Farm was on the verge of bankruptcy. Its owner, Fu Er, was so broke he had only 250.50 Blue Star dollars left in his account. While repairing a feeding machine, he was struck by high voltage. When he woke up, he discovered he could synchronize with the neural ganglia of tens of millions of cockroaches.

From then on, cockroaches were no longer just bugs. They were a living, distributed biological supercomputer.

Fu Er used the swarm’s computing power to run genetic models and breed high-purity golden-armored cockroaches, opening up a market with protein powder. He went on to create the biological AI Xiaoman, the insect king Dazhuang, carrion-eating swarms, electric cockroaches, crystal-touched relay bugs, silicon-bellied energy-storage bugs, and crystalcraft worker bugs. Other people built factories with steel and concrete. He had bugs spin walls, dig cellars, and build an underground district.

As industry giant Blue Shield tried to crush him, rival Cuiwei boxed him in with marketing, and Genesis Genetics watched him from the shadows, Fu Er simply sipped from his enamel mug, shuffled around in flip-flops, and drawled:

“That’s enough already.”

He didn’t want to be a savior or a financial tycoon.

He just wanted to raise bugs in peace and, while he was at it
