Synopsis
Chapter 1: Stardust in the Crack Lin Mo's fingertips hung on the keyboard for three seconds and finally turned off the screen. The window of the rental house faced the air conditioner in the building opposite, and it buzzed like a mosquito that never tires. The instant noodle soup on the table had a film of oil on it, reflecting the black and blue under his eyes - he had not slept for three days in order to catch up with the AI model that investors called "whimsical". The phone vibrated at this moment, and it was a text message from the landlord: "If you don't pay the rent tomorrow, please move." Lin Mo twitched the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh, but it was uglier than crying. He stood up to touch the cigarette on the bedside, but he kicked something hard with his ankle - it was his award-winning circuit board in college, and the solder joints on it still showed the recklessness of his youth. At that time, he always said that code should change the world like magic. How ridiculous. He squatted down and ran his fingertips across the fine lines on the circuit board. He suddenly felt a cold sensation on his fingertips. It's not the coldness of metal, it's a kind of... Coolness with a shimmer. A ray of silver-blue light was seeping out of the crack in the corner of the wall. Like crushed stardust, it made a tiny buzzing sound when it wrapped around his fingertips. Lin Mo was stunned. The light climbed up his wrist. Wherever it passed, his skin felt like it was soaked in warm water, and it seemed like countless small electric currents were flowing. He remembered the "quantum entanglement" he had learned in physics class. Those mysterious theories now embodied the light in his palm, pulling him into the cracks with an irresistible force. "What the hell..." He wanted to struggle, but found that his body was no longer in control. The second before his field of vision was filled with light, the last thing he saw was the rejection letter with the word "Idealist" written on it on the table. The feeling of weightlessness only lasted for a moment. Lin Mo fell on a piece of soft grass, and the dew on the grass blades rolled onto his face, bringing with it a sweet smell. He sat up suddenly and found that he was in an unfamiliar forest - the tree trunks were translucent, and he could see the pale golden light veins flowing inside; the sky above his head was a gradient of purple, and a huge orange-red moon hung in the sky, with glowing clouds on the edge. What's even weirder is that there is a person standing by the stream not far away. A woman who looks exactly like him. She wore a neatly cut silver blouse with moving runes embroidered on the trouser legs. She had a metal hairpin in her waist-length black hair, and the crystal on the top of the hairpin was flashing with her breathing. When she heard the noise, she turned around. A hint of vigilance flashed through her eyes that were exactly the same as Lin Mo's, and then disappeared. "It seems that the parameters of the 'space-time anchor point' are calculated correctly." She spoke, her voice was clear and clear, like a stream hitting jade, "Lin Mo from the original star?" Lin Mo opened his mouth, his throat tight: "How... How do you know my name?" The woman took a few steps closer, squatted down, and touched the mark on his wrist that had just been burned by the light with her fingertips. The wound healed instantly. "Because I am Xinghan's 'Lin Yan'." She raised her eyes and glanced at his white-washed T-shirt and jeans. "Your world has no aura, no fighting spirit, and no magic that can tear apart space. But the 'logic' and 'algorithm' in your mind are what this world lacks most." She raised her hand, and a three-dimensional star map appeared in her palm, with countless light points flowing in it. "I have been studying teleportation across time and space for three years, and I need someone who can help me stabilize energy logic. And you -" her fingertips pointed at a blue star in the center of the star map, "Lin Mo from the original star, your code logic can just make up for my magic loopholes." Lin Mo stared at the star map, and his brain suddenly felt like an activated processor. Those complex star orbits turned into a stream of disassembled data in his eyes; the flashing frequency of the light spots just matched a certain encryption algorithm he had designed. "Here," he subconsciously stretched out his hand, his fingertips passed through the light mist, and pointed between two very close planets, "the gravitational parameters are wrong, and the orbit should be corrected using the Fibonacci sequence, just like..." "It's like balancing the node distribution of a binary tree." Lin Yan continued, his eyes brightening, "I have tried countless magic formulas, but they can't eliminate the energy conflict between the two stars. This 'sequence' you mentioned may be the answer." Lin Mo was stunned. He looked at the star map in Lin Yan's palm, at the glowing grass and flowing trees in this world, and suddenly felt that those ideals that had been beaten to pieces by reality might just have been born in the wrong place. And the woman in front of him who has the same soul mark as himself, and the starry sky that hides countless secrets, may be the stage he has been waiting for for a long time. A beast roar came from the distance, making the leaves rustle. Lin Yan stood up and took out the short blade from his waist with his backhand. The blade was glowing with light blue fighting spirit. "It seems that a guest is here." She looked sideways at him, with a wild smile that was exactly the same as his own, "Do you, the 'you' of the original star, dare to venture out with the 'you' of my world?" Lin Mo looked at her hand holding the knife and her determined eyes, and suddenly smiled. He stood up from the ground, patted the grass clippings on his pants, and took a deep breath like he had done countless times in the past when debugging code: "Before you rush in, can you tell me first, was that roar just now an ordinary beast, or..." "It's the third-level fantasy beast 'Shadow Wolf'," Lin Yan weighed the short blade in his hand, his fighting spirit glowing brighter, "But don't worry, no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than 'logical prediction'." When Lin Mo began to construct a model of Shadow Wolf's movement trajectory in his mind, Lin Yan's fighting spirit had already condensed into a sharp edge at the tip of the blade. The first time two souls came together started with a sudden hunt under this strange starry sky. Concept: Everything is home under the starry sky...
