In 2026, Lin Yuan, an outsourced programmer, dies suddenly in his rented apartment. As he dies, all he can think about is an error message he hasn't finished fixing. When he opens his eyes again, it's 2018, and he's become a food delivery rider with overdue rent and credit card bills, making deliveries on a beat-up electric scooter. Even more absurdly, a fragment of a future AI, 55Pro, is hidden deep in his consciousness.
No capital, no connections, no servers. Just an old computer at Internet cafe station 37 and a few dozen yuan a day from deliveries.
While others rely on their stamina to snatch orders, Lin Yuan uses AI to calculate routes, commercial districts, and loopholes in the delivery platform. Starting with a single food delivery, he sets out to carve out a new path to survival amid the opportunities of 2018.
