The sky screen turns blue, and the survival game begins. The lifespans stamped on everyone’s chests become currency more valuable than gold: they are both life and money.
Zhou Ye, a loan collection agent drowning in debt, draws a role that no one wants. He can’t bring any equipment, which, in everyone else’s eyes, means one foot in the grave.
But he has something no one can take away: a pair of eyes that can see through the rules. While others stare at a monster’s health bar, he studies the “installments, guarantees, discounts, and transfers” in life-for-cash contracts. Others risk everything to grind through a single instance. At a secondhand stall, he trades one life to get back the principal of five.
Then Gu Qingshan, the cowardly leader of a ragtag team who bullies the weak, swaggeringly kicks a worthless IOU he doesn’t even care about over to Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye smiles. Collect bad debts, set prices, make the rules. While everyone else gambles their lives on the outcome, he plays with his brains.
