Chen Xu works as an unappreciated junior corporate employee stuck on the lowest rung of the modern office hierarchy. His mundane existence shifts abruptly upon discovering the interface of the Virtual Dream Device. Far from a simple sensory illusion, the system projects consciousness into a flawless, hundred-percent sensory reality operating on an extreme time dilation ratio: an entire six-month simulation unfolds over the span of a single nocturnal rest cycle.

The system includes a distinct capability that permits the replication of real-world acquaintances directly into isolated instances. For his inaugural scenario—an unforgiving post-apocalyptic urban wasteland—Chen Xu imports the persona of his demanding corporate director, Luo Xiyun. Stripped of executive prestige and corporate leverage, both must scavenge supplies, coordinate tactical defenses against mutant creatures, and establish mutual trust to survive prolonged months of isolation. The practical competencies, stress tolerance, and strategic awareness Chen Xu hones within the simulation carry directly back into waking reality.

As subsequent scenario instances introduce corporate rivals, financial magnates such as Yang Jinxia, and escalating tactical hazards, Chen Xu leverages his simulated preparation to outmaneuver workplace rivals, negotiate corporate investments, and build independent business operations. The narrative systematically balances gritty survival progression with realistic corporate maneuvering and romantic tension across a fully concluded 206-chapter run.

What to Expect

The pacing alternates deliberately between extended survival arcs within virtual instances and rapid workplace consequences in waking society. Conflict resolution relies on tangible resource management, practical preparation, and psychological insight rather than instant supernatural martial arts. Combat inside the simulation emphasizes stealth, firearm handling, and tactical environmental positioning against aggressive hostiles, while daytime sequences focus on corporate politics and relationship boundaries.
