Transmigrating into a cyberpunk wasteland, Su Zhe finds himself from the start on the brink of disaster: unable to pay his housing tax, he’s about to have his kidney forcibly harvested.
Luckily, he awakens the “Ninth Art Engine.” As long as he collects players’ emotions, he can bring gaming tech straight into the real world!
Looking at the wasteland thugs all over the streets, hooked on cheap electronic chips, Su Zhe gives a cold laugh and tosses out a fully immersive holographic version of Wolves.
The Lower City goes completely insane.
A ruthless gang boss gets hacked apart by minions thirty times in a row, then weeps as he splurges ten thousand credits, begging for an update;
Countless mercenaries yank out their dopamine interfaces overnight, eyes bloodshot as they shout “Hesitate and you lose!” to the clang of the blacksmith’s hammer!
The more players lose their minds, the stronger Su Zhe gets.
When the corporations realize that the faith of the underclass is spiraling out of control, they send their elite heavy-armored Adjudicator Squad to kill him by force.
Su Zhe calmly draws a dark red blade from the void: the Mortal Blade leaves its sheath, and a sword strike powerful enough to split the heavens smashes the corporations’ top-tier mech to pieces!
With the release of Behemoth’s Fall and Cyberpunk 9999, millions of Calamity players descend from the sky in the heavy-armored Behemoths they’ve redeemed.
The oligarchs above the clouds completely lose it: “We told you to make crappy games, and you mass-produced an army of Fourth Calamity players?!”
