Wang Dagen, a wage slave who died suddenly after working overtime all night, opened his eyes to find himself lying naked in an unfamiliar mountain wilderness, with an AI called Doubao newly installed in his mind.
At first, he assumed there had been a malfunction in a brain-computer interface experiment. Even when he saw that none of the plants around him belonged to Earth, he didn't think much of it.
When he arrived at Qinghe Village, the elders told him old stories of foreign races hunting and eating humans. Wang Dagen dismissed them as rumors from an isolated mountain village.
Later, even when he saw people cultivating by drawing in qi and witnessed all kinds of incredible phenomena with his own eyes, Doubao still stubbornly refused to admit that they had transmigrated or acknowledge the existence of supernatural powers. Whenever anything happened, it insisted on explaining it with knowledge from Earth, and was repeatedly proven wrong.
This is a cruel world where humanity has become food for foreign races. The great heroes who once fought back died young, and humanity's upper echelons have long since become puppets of the foreign races, selling out their own people in exchange for power.
In his previous life, Wang Dagen was exploited by endless overtime. At first, all he wanted was to find somewhere peaceful to live, and never again have to work himself to the bone.
But once layer after layer of falsehood is torn away, he has no choice but to take this AI that refuses to give up on science and embark, step by step, on the road to saving humanity from extinction.
