   Highly recommend this book list! The setting is as rigorous as a textbook, and the world of immortality under dark rules can make people feel chills behind their backs. But the more you think about it, the more you think about it. Each book seems to be deconstructing the way of heaven.

Others are grabbing H100 to get a head start, but he rents a few hundred 4090 and defeats the entire industry. The most amazing thing is - the alien AI is still in arrears!
