Synopsis

Chen Mo used to be a data analyst for one of the country’s top esports teams.

For four years, he recorded every player’s habits, every team composition’s win-rate curve, and every version’s statistical turning points, one note at a time, covering an entire wall. Then the team disbanded, the sponsors pulled out, and the notes were shoved into the bottom of his backpack, never to be looked at again. Brain-computer interface technology upended the entire esports industry, rendering the data system he had painstakingly built obsolete overnight.

A debt of 1.27 million yuan. Interest not included.

In 2029, Eternal launched its open beta, a fully immersive neural-interface online game that claimed, “Games shouldn’t be designed. They should grow on their own.” Chen Mo finally logged in on his seventh attempt, using a secondhand headset he’d bought for 2,300 yuan. For his ID, he entered two characters: Zero.

Other people saw monsters and quests. He saw behavior trees, damage formulas, and drop rates. While others fought monsters, he built models. Before players had even figured out how to deal more damage, he had already worked out the game’s underlying logic.

But monsters could change their behavior, strategies gradually became outdated, opponents studied his tactics, and teammates had minds of their own. Chen Mo began to realize that the real challenge wasn’t the complexity of the data. It was that people observed, made choices, and could change their minds the very next second.

As his models expanded from a single monster to parties, guilds, and entire battlefields, an internal testing report with no sender, a monster that defied behavioral patterns, and NPCs who remembered some things but forgot others kept providing new samples that couldn’t be categorized.

In the end, together with a group of people he could never fully predict, he defended a city that truly belonged to them.

Recommend Some Online Gaming or Slow-Building Survival Stories with Fewer Clichés and Less Face-Slapping

I'd like something without showing off and face-slapping, provoking everyone, or getting hunted by some ridiculous guild. Just a protagonist slowly building up, making a little money, having drinks with friends, running dungeons, and enjoying life. Definitely no starting off burdened with the destiny of saving the world. Just an ordinary person.
