Your Rating Is Going Down

In 3936, human society is completely controlled by the ubiquitous "Tian Heng System". A real-time updated score number hangs above everyone's head. The score directly determines the distribution of social resources and survival rights: those with high scores enjoy privileges, those with low scores can hardly move, and those with scores that reach zero will "disappear" directly. Lin Chen, a 28-year-old programmer, was given a negative rating due to an accident. His rating dropped from 7.2 To 7.1, And he instantly lost his second-class subway seat privileges. This seemingly insignificant fluctuation of 0.1 Points gave him a glimpse of the cruel truth behind the scoring system. Under the guidance of Lao Zhou, the cleaner who first discovered the loopholes in the system, Lin Chen learned that everyone has chips implanted in their brains. The scoring system is essentially a tool for the rich to control ordinary people, and these "low-class people" are just "NPCs" in the eyes of the rich. Lin Chen formed an alliance with Su Wan, an emergency department nurse who awakened after witnessing low-scoring patients being refused treatment by the system, and jointly fought against Zhao Tian, ​​a "perfect citizen" who appeared to have a score of 9.9 But was actually the administrator of the virtual world. They were hunted down by the system, rounded up by everyone, and betrayed by their teammates, and finally blew up the core server of the Tianheng system, thinking they had successfully escaped from the virtual prison. However, when they woke up in the "real world", they found that all the evidence had disappeared mysteriously, Lao Zhou's identity was a mystery, and he was actually in the second layer of virtual world. In the end, Lao Zhou revealed Zhao Tian's true face, and Lin Chen and Su Wan were forced to reset, returning to the starting point of the story again, falling into a never-ending scoring cycle.
