Summary

In a quiet night, Zero, a silicon-based life form, practices cultivation when a little girl knocks on his door. She pushes him to sit and reveals her interest in superpowers, explaining three types of users: pre-natal, post-natal, and artificial. Despite her charm, Zero feels detached, reflecting on emotions and desires, which are scarce in his kind. The next day, he meets Lin Shuang, who declares herself his master.
