In 2099, the cyber city "New Chang'an". Lin Mo opened the "Old Lin's Noodle House" at the end of an alley in the old city. Neon and holographic advertisements block out the sky, and his shop is still hung with faded cloth and uses a wood stove to cook soup. Those who come to eat noodles include a mercenary with an overloaded prosthetic body, a clerk with a damaged memory chip, and a girl lost in the virtual world. They don't just come here to fill their bellies. Lin Mo discovered that his bowl of clear noodle soup was quietly connecting the last bit of human warmth in this cold city.
