Top gaming streamer Lin Yan rose to the throne overnight and reached the pinnacle of online fame.
But a tax scandal abruptly brought his streaming career to a halt.
While his accounts were being audited, he noticed something strange in his mother's bank account: huge transfers out, small amounts trickling back in, and transactions growing larger and larger.
His mother said proudly, “You can make money from games. So can I.”
Using his mother's invitation code, Lin Yan entered the game. Seven-day stamina, work tasks, fortune-coin withdrawals, order-volume upgrades, team contributions, max-level glory... He soon realized this was no ordinary game, but a rebate-fund metropolis disguised as one.
Those without money worked to replenish their stamina. Those with money recharged to level up. Those hoping to turn their lives around recruited others to meet order quotas. The reckless risked everything on credit.
Everyone thought they were clearing the game, but in reality, the System was locking them in step by step.
Behind the game was a sophisticated trap designed by people who understood games, finance, actuarial science, and the law. A celebrated businesswoman had been pushed into the spotlight as the trusted face of the operation.
Lin Yan had wanted to save his mother, only to discover that she had already become a max-level member on the server.
Max level wasn't the end of the game.
Max level was a sacrifice, an abyss.
He would have to fight his way from the beginner's village to the top of the Fortune Multiplier Tower and expose this rebate city.
