Slap My Mouth

In 2147, the "Oasis" system has become the spiritual home of mankind. This perfect virtual world promises eternal happiness and orderly emotions, and billions of users around the world are immersed in it. Genius emotional architect Chen Mu is a top designer in creating these "perfect experiences". Until his partner Lin Zhe left a strange starry sky snail shell and disappeared. Engraved on the bottom of the shell are small words: "They taste us." Chen Mu was forced to step into the darkness and discovered the truth about the "Oasis": the system was screening and purifying the most extreme human emotions, packaging them and sending them to an unknown existence 1,340 light-years away. Human beings are not users, but captive "emotional crops"; conversion rate is not an optimization indicator, but harvesting efficiency. He found the underground network "Snails" left by Lin Zhe - a group of awakened people who realized that they were "farm livestock". Their resistance is not violence, but "pollution": creating chaotic emotions that cannot be digested and classified by the system, making harvesting "hard to swallow." Chen Mu must deal with the surveillance of the system and the sacrifice of his companions, and make a choice between a perfect cage and dangerous freedom. When all human beings are willing to become happy livestock, only they choose to be a smiling snail - slowly crawling in the galaxy of data, carrying the chaotic and precious reality on their backs.
