I was once the most inconspicuous person in this city.
I dropped out of junior high school and worked as an Internet cafe network administrator, courier, and takeout rider—all low-level jobs. Until that thunderstorm night, a bolt of lightning struck the 5G base station next to me, and it also struck my fate.
Since then, I can "hear" all WiFi signals within a fifty-meter radius and see through the secrets of every connected device. Information has become my sharpest knife.
I used it to fight my way from the Malatang stall in the urban village to the top of the capital world; I used it to clear the name of my father who died unjustly; I used it to fight against the capital giants in the business world, and even protected the lights of thousands of families in the national cyber war.
Along the way, I have met four women - Lin Zhiruo, who is tough in the dust, the proud but soft rich daughter Su Yuqing, the mysterious and dangerous capital hunter Qin Mengyao, and Xia Wanqing, who broke into my life with the aura of Silicon Valley. They taught me to love, trust and let go.
But when I climbed to the top, I understood——
The most difficult thing in life is not winning, but finding the reason that makes you want to stop.
My name is Chen Mo. It took me fourteen years to climb from the bottom to the top of the mountain, and it took me the last step to walk back to the world from the top of the mountain.
**This world is worth it. **
