A handsome (crossed out) teenage academic prodigy, Yu Zhou, logs into NWO, a holographic virtual game world, hoping to use its accelerated time to study. Unexpectedly, he gains an exclusive hidden attribute that defies the heavens. After finishing his studies, he has nothing better to do, so he reads a great many books in the game and miraculously awakens a powerful skill: the supreme realm of the Qi Master.
This ability lets him move through the game with ease, defeating every monster and other player without breaking a sweat. He does not even need to spend much time grinding levels. All he has to do is sit quietly, use his intellect to unravel the game, and design his own runes, equipment, and skills.

His attributes can actually cross over into the real world.
Is reality still just a game, or is an even more astonishing truth waiting to be uncovered?
Yu Zhou (Zhou) embarks on an unprecedented adventure…
