Lin Chen, a wage slave who died suddenly from overwork, opens his eyes to find himself back on the day he was fired.
A mechanical voice rings out in his mind, dripping with disdain:
[Host Lin Chen, your physical fitness ranks dead last among all humanity. You're so weak that this Star Core can't even be bothered to comment.]
While others are reborn relying on memories of their past lives to predict the next big trends, he has the complete technological tree of an alien civilization at his fingertips.
He puts out a nanotech solid-state battery, and seven million in full payment lands in his account.
Nanotech combat suits, electromagnetic cannons, pulse weapons, and blueprints for interstellar jumps unlock one after another.
He casually registers a tech company, and in just three months its market value soars past ten billion.
But the more money he makes, the more trouble comes his way.
Global forces put out astronomical bounties on his head. The hunt spreads from Earth into interstellar space, with planetary cannons and starfleets appearing in turn.
Even more of a headache, an ancient, unknown being lies dormant deep within the Star Core.
Lin Chen takes a laid-back approach and lies flat: I just want to shut myself away, work on technology, and enjoy a peaceful life. Why is the whole world chasing after me to ask for cooperation? And why won't that icy CEO leave me alone?
