Echoing Valley

Lin Xiao had been looking for the equation that could prove that the world was rational, until he discovered that his college itself was an unsolvable problem. The calculations of his mentor, the betrayal of his colleagues, and the administrative difficulties buried his fantasy of the "Temple of Science" like a mudslide. In a retraction incident, Lin Xiao was pushed to a desperate situation in his academic career. He finally understood: there is no truth here, only interests; there are no masters, only "boss". On the rainy day when he left the system, Lin Xiao did not go to destruction. He heard another echo on the edge of the city, among those people defined as "losers" by the mainstream evaluation system. This is not a story of counterattack, but a story of how a person picked up his broken self and learned to be a human being again under the crushing pressure of the system.
