Metaverse.
Lin Xiaobei, the game's God of Thieves, accidentally drops an octagonal peony-patterned celadon vase he stole from a wealthy Chang'an family into the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. The morning and evening bells and drums from a nearby temple strike him like a wake-up call, awakening memories of his past life.
It turns out he is a transmigrator from Earth in the year 2081, sent here to reopen the sealed gates of the Metaverse.
"Lin Xiaobei, what's your mission?"
"Get rid of the Metaverse's bugs and save the world!"
"Then why haven't you set off?"
"I'm waiting for my cheat to arrive!"
But Lin Xiaobei was already falling apart on the very first day his cheat arrived...
Because it wasn't working...
