Pei Ling traveled to the world of immortality and found that he had no spiritual roots, only a half-baked error box and knowledge reserves of software engineering from his previous life as a freshman.
In this world, the god-forming ancestor can cut down mountains with one sword, but to convey news, he relies on flying swords to deliver messages. They chose the entire technology tree wrongly - there was aura, but no agreement; there was formation, but no standards; there was immortality, but no efficiency.
Pei Ling decided to debug the world. She used a carving knife to carve circuits on the spiritual stone, optimizing the efficiency of the fire talisman from 43% to 75%; she made the first pair of "spiritual message slips" so that mortals can also communicate; she established the "spiritual network community" to define industry standards, collect taxes, and create an ecosystem.
But she is not alone. Wen Yu, a doctor from the same village, has a medicine basket with three layers - cakes on the upper layer, paralysis powder on the middle layer, and antidote on the lower layer. They are each other's "default configuration": not best friends, not Taoist companions, but two servers running on different protocols, calling each other through interest interfaces, and not querying each other's underlying code for eleven years.
Until Tiandao discovered that Pei Ling's energy could not be recovered, until Xianting tried to physically eliminate her, until they exposed their secrets at the same time——
"You knew I was lying." "So did you."
This is a story about freedom of information, technological monopoly, and two wounded souls identifying with each other.
It is also a story about "pretending" and "having money".
