2125 Ember Light

Can you believe it? In the "perfect world" of 2125, even sadness, love, and free choice have become a "waste of resources"? The system plans an "optimal life" for each person. Emotions are quantified and scored, and hobbies are judged to be "inefficient." Even Tao Bo's temperature when pinching pottery and the off-key melody of a street singer will be "softly cleaned." Lin Qi, a former system evaluator, fell from the cloud into the abyss just because he pressed the button to "preserve" an old man's pottery art, and became an "abnormal" hunted by the entire network. Until he met Su Jin and the "Seed Network" hidden in the "Yu Wen" cafe in the old city - a group of people who were defined as "redundant" by the system, but who persisted in guarding handicrafts, non-standard emotions, and buried historical truths. They struggle in the radiation-contaminated area, deal with mutated creatures, and avoid the deadly hunting of the "True Listen" team, just to guard the last embers of civilization. When the dark truth of the "Cradle Project" is exposed, and when the "original code" that seals human free will surfaces, this escape has already escalated into a life-and-death battle: Should we bow to "perfection" and let humanity be tamed by algorithms? Or should we ignite the embers, let the fire start a prairie fire, and prove that the undefined "uselessness" is the most precious soul background of mankind? Every page hides a desperate reversal, and every chapter is filled with hot humanity. If you miss it, you will regret not witnessing this life-threatening resistance; if you don't read it, you will never understand that "a life that is not optimized is called living"!
