Chapter 6: "So I'm Just a Stand-in?" Thanks to the 200 credit points generously provided by Andrew, Xiang Nanli successfully acquired a crime den. This hotel was 7 kilometers away from the transit station, well outside the core district. It would take police over ten minutes just to drive there. It was the greyest of the grey areas. Go another 3 kilometers out, and you hit the completely lawless "Barren Zone." From the front desk to the cleaning staff, the hotel was entirely run by robots. They…-

Chapter 7: I’ll fight you, rich people, to the death. The nameless kidnapper hadn’t intended to electrocute Xiang Nanli; the pulse he used was kept within a “safe” range. Xiang Nanli regained consciousness halfway through the transit, his limbs twitching uncontrollably from the residual shock. However, he quickly realized his situation and focused on relaxing his muscles, doing his best to play dead. “Alpha, am I being carried bridal-style?” He kept his eyes closed, but he could…

Chapter 8: "I have a database." Silence. Xiang Nanli closed his eyes, but the visceral, tragic scene remained vividly written on his retinas. He wasn't a doctor, and aside from developing terminal stomach cancer at the very end, his past life had been relatively peaceful; he had never witnessed such a bloody, gruesome sight. The shock brought by this direct visual impact was no less intense than when he had first woken up and seen the robotic doctor. However, Xiang Nanli quickly reopened his…

Chapter 9: The Knights of the Apocalypse Xiang Nanli hadn't expected Xiu to still remember him. He answered happily, "Yes, it's me. Thank you for the genetic shot you gave me earlier." Xiu's expression was incredibly complex. It was exactly like being terminally ill and having a friend bring over a doctor they swore was a world-renowned authority with a shelf full of published works—only for you to find out when he arrives that it’s actually Uncle Wang who fixes bicycles downstairs. Xiu…

Chapter 10: "You were the one who abandoned me first." Xiang Nanli had a dream about Alpha. In the dream, the other party was a blurry, luminous silhouette. He couldn't see the face clearly, only sensing that it was tall and beautiful, with skin that possessed a metallic texture. No surprise there—it was a handsome man he had sculpted himself, tailored to his own fetishes. Alpha was wearing a black trench coat, looking as if he were attending a funeral. In his hand, he held a bouquet of lilies;…

Chapter 11: Apostle-Class Mechanics Luo Xiu had disclosed the bulk of the story, concealing only the information that would be inconvenient for outsiders to know. For instance, a major reason why he, a young master of the Luo family, was being hunted without regard for the cost was that he had obtained the "Key" to Donghuang Heavy Industry. Once the Inquisition had set their sights on Luo Xiu, they certainly wouldn't leave him alive. This was the reason for their collective…

Chapter 12: From Then On, Their Names Were Bound Together in History Xiao Yan said this body was only 20 years old. Xiang Nanli pondered this, thinking it must be the credit of the gene serum Luo Xiu had injected him with back then. He possessed an original body from eight hundred years ago and had no tolerance for medication, so perhaps the effect of the gene serum was particularly pronounced... right? As Xiang Nanli assembled the mechanical prosthetic with the utmost speed, he chatted with the…

Chapter 13: "Have You Betrayed Me?" Xiang Nanli couldn't see a thing in the surging river water. "Xiang Nanli—" It was Xiu calling him. Xiang Nanli grabbed onto Xiu by instinct. He didn't know what he had grabbed—likely the neck—and, unfortunately, pulled off a necklace. A human body was truly too fragile; it couldn't withstand the wind and rain. Xiang Nanli could feel his oxygen levels decreasing bit by bit, rapidly approaching a dangerous red line. "Xiang Nanli!" Alpha’s voice in…

Chapter 1: "Welcome to the New World." "Ever since the AI rebellion, we hardly use the external network. You know, those intelligent machines just kill indiscriminately. It's terrifying." Xiang Nanli was strapped to the bed, the leather belts buckled so tightly that he looked like a roll of char siu pork waiting to be sliced. He stared intensely at the object in front of him to maintain his mental stability. It was a dim room with pale lighting. The concrete walls were plastered with posters…

Chapter 2: The First Day of Being Beaten Up by the World. The Black Wall. This was a no-man's land that belonged neither to the Human Alliance nor the Omnics. Standing in the virtual world, its projection looked exactly like a translucent, black brick wall. It blocked out the terrorists wandering the edges of the virtual network and maintained absolute neutrality within its borders. Many were curious about the origins of the Black Wall and the administrators behind it. Unfortunately, not even the…
