   In 2250, the seventh rule of the Deep Space Planning Bureau's employee code states: "It is strictly forbidden to look directly at the source point (Earth) for more than 30 seconds." This is not a suggestion, but a bottom line for survival. Because when you stare at it, it is also observing you. On his second day at the company, Gu Zhun found a black diary that only a "madman" could understand. With this diary, he exploited bugs in the monster-infested space station: the braised pork in Sector F was transformed from employees, the gate to Sector H-99 was locked to the endless morning rush hour of 2024, and the high and mighty stationmaster was nothing more than a walking nuclear fuel canister. He thought he was the one wielding the knife, proceeding step by step, tearing apart the mechanically ascending BOSS, filling the nostalgic reactor, all to seize that ticket to the new world. However, the moment the spaceship lifted off, his most respected sergeant, holding the hand of the girl he trusted most, stood at the hatch, baring his fangs at him: "Gu Zhun, I wrote the diary, I acted the person. Thank you for the good knife, now… you should be thrown away." Exiled and falling, Gu Zhun plummeted towards that mutated inferno sealed for a century. A certain death? No. In the instant of re-entry into the atmosphere, Gu Zhun saw the Earth, covered in eyes, wink at him: "Welcome home."

    First, I agree with the viewpoint. Gu Yi is indeed a good read, as are Wa Peng and Never Compromise. However, both books are also quite good. Personally, I prefer the first one. The first few chapters of the first book might be a bit ordinary, but the later ones are excellent, culminating in a godhood in the ending (no joke, a physical godhood). The author is still writing the second book, and to be honest, I feel it's not as impactful as the first (personal opinion). Perhaps it's because it's not finished yet.
