[Alias: Performance Ming]
[Registration number: Yuzuodengzi-2026-A-00823275]
Modern 996 programmer Zhang Jiujiu died suddenly and accidentally traveled to the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, but was forced to bind an even more deceptive "Ming Dynasty Performance System". From then on, his life (for the second time) was dominated by KPI - if he couldn't recite the Analects of Confucius, he would have to dance on a new treasure island in public, and if he couldn't win the scholarship, he would have to dream about his former boss every night.
In order to survive, Zhang Jiujiu could only take the art of workplace fooling to the extreme: using PPT to impress the Imperial College, using the "Efficiency Cultivation Method" to fool Emperor Jiajing, using "employee psychological counseling" to resolve officialdom struggles, and even forming the first "security team" in the Ming Dynasty to implement modern management. His KPI has also been promoted from the imperial examination to saving the country through industry and developing maritime trade, and finally points to an outrageous ultimate mission - to change the world structure and prevent the destruction of civilization.
Faced with Yan Song's machinations, the intrusion of Japanese pirates, and even the cold hunters from the sea of stars, Zhang Jiujiu held the local MSG and steam engine blueprints rewarded by the system in his left hand, and used the "fishing cultivation method" and "BUG purification technique" in his right hand. In the absurdity and passion, he embarked on the road of working while complaining while saving the world.
Can his KPI really save the world?
Intention: Travel through ancient times and change the normal trajectory
