Synopsis

Don't talk to me about the Three Thousand Dao. My Dao is only project management. Don't tell me about destiny and luck, my life is just the progress bar. I, Xu Yan, am a project manager who is "optimized" at my workstation. When my social animal soul fell into this world of immortality, I became a "system bug" under the law of heaven who only believed in processes, calculated risks, and measured everything with indicators. What is the way of heaven to me? It's just a Party A that has unclear needs, doesn't provide enough budget, and thinks about everything all day long. So—— While others were still worrying about getting started, I had already planned the twelve-year "golden cicada's escape" and fired the first shot at my own rebirth. When my fellow sect members became famous in the sect competition, I was anonymously writing "Notes on Handymen", using a "war of public opinion" to stir up a storm at the bottom. While geniuses seek breakthroughs in seclusion and enlightenment, I formed a "technical alliance" and used "A/B testing" to explore the birth of the best products. While the enemy was relishing the grudges in the battle for immortality, I directed a "four crossings of the Black Mist River", turning survival in desperate situations into textbook project management. The cage of rules has already been set up, and the cold "progress bar" is destiny. But I still have to use this set of social animal logic to find a way out for myself and for all the ants struggling under the rules! Because in this ultimate project called "Cultivation of Immortality", my only goal is to survive!

Worker, working soul
As a worker, you must have a working spirit, and you must have spirit when moving bricks! The subway is packed like a sardine, but the workstations still perform miracles. Cooking for lunch to fill my stomach, and watching TV dramas after get off work to clear my mind. Although sometimes I want to lie down, I will still move forward tomorrow.

Stop being 996, come and read this book, it will teach you how to use "project management" thinking to conquer the world of immortality!
Brothers, I announce that this year's "Best Imagination of the Year" novel has appeared! The protagonist was "optimized" at the beginning of the chapter. After helping the company recover millions of losses, he was so angry that he died of overwork. This sense of immersion immediately filled him up and made his fist hard! Do you think traveling through time to cultivate immortality is to be free and at ease? Wrong! The protagonist starts off as a 60-year-old "scrap asset" with rubbish qualifications and only three months left to live! This sinkhole started, and I felt even more desperate than when I went to work on Monday. The most amazing thing is his golden finger - [Worker Beating System]! This system is simply a combination of devilish HR and capitalists. Everything must be done by "following the process", analyzing problems with "due diligence reports", solving problems with "technical research", and even learning a skill requires a quote of "four months of life"! The protagonist only has three months to live! This system is simply more sinister than my boss! When I saw the protagonist's idea of using PPT to write a feasibility report on a "hostile takeover" of an enemy, I really laughed like crazy! Treat the enemy as a "competing company", analyze his "user psychology" and "product defects", and finally formulate an "acquisition process"... This is the real dimensionality reduction attack! These four chapters are exciting and full of black humor. The author perfectly integrates the "involution" and "PUA" culture of the modern workplace with the cruel world of cultivating immortals. If you are also a "worker", this book will definitely make you find a different kind of pleasure in the laughter and resonance! It's not a loss if you join the trap, highly recommended! Sit back and wait for the protagonist to use OKR goal management method to practice and become an immortal!

The strongest "emotionally stable" protagonist I've ever seen. He has to write a feasibility report before killing anyone.
After following the novel for so many years, I finally saw a completely different protagonist. He doesn't have the passionate impulses of a young man, he doesn't get carried away by hatred, and he doesn't yell when in danger. Xu Yan, he is like the top project manager around you and me - always calm, always rational, always thinking about "cost", "risk" and "optimal solution". With only three months left to live at the beginning, his first reaction was not to despair, but to open the system and write himself a "life extension self-rescue project establishment report". When he found that the "cost" (lifespan) of learning skills was too high, he immediately changed his mind and began to think about how to "reduce costs and increase efficiency" by "upgrading hardware" (soul core computing power). The ones that made my scalp tingle the most were Chapters 3 and 4. In order to buy an alchemy furnace, he used a market where scammers were rampant as a procurement site where "supplier screening" was required. He used the system to conduct "product inspection" and used negotiation skills for "budget control." The psychological game of bargaining was more exciting than many fighting scenes! The fourth chapter takes this "social animal" style to the extreme. When he wants revenge, he does not rely on passion, but first starts a "sand table deduction", conducts a thorough "due diligence investigation" on the enemy, analyzes its "psychological portrait", "combat ability" and even "technical loopholes", and finally outputs a perfect "hostile acquisition feasibility report"! The most exciting thing about reading this book is not who the protagonist punches out, but how he uses his terrifyingly calm brain to peel off "impossible projects" one after another, step by step, and ultimately lead to the only success. This kind of IQ crushing is far more fascinating than pure strength crushing. If you are tired of mindless and cool articles and want to read a strong man who really solves problems with wisdom and skill, you must not miss this book.
