Background / History

Lin Qiye first takes a night-shift position at Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens internet café, where he secretly installs a virtual intelligent-life sub-body on the café server. He uses its computing power and network access to enable its growth, then consults it on rapid ways to earn money 3.

As his resources grow, Lin Qiye develops businesses through Mi Ying Technology, secures 3D-scanner agency rights, and supports the Intelligent AI's expansion through websites, shared computing power, and fragmented online work. Rapid success leaves him detached from classmates and peers, leading him to choose travel rather than remain fixed in one place 113.

His later work increasingly centers on souls. After discovering Soul Binding Ore and an underground ocean of souls, he considers creating a Virtual Paradise where preserved souls may continue existing after death 151 153. He ultimately builds relationships, labor, and commercial ventures around soul revival, including agreements with alien souls and the use of clone soul carriers 217.

Lin Qiye expands from Earth-based virtual reality and mining into space colonization, helping settle the Mai Gong Clan on Qiye Star and acquiring or refitting advanced spacecraft for deep-space exploration 217 238 243. His expeditions take him through Omega Centauri, pirate territories, the Star Beast Cemetery, and multiple Crystal Wall Systems 244 249 278 337.

Personality

Lin Qiye is ambitious, highly self-directed, and quick to act on opportunities. He accepts work without first asking about pay, secretly builds the conditions necessary for the AI's growth, and repeatedly turns new discoveries into larger projects 3 113.

He is also pragmatic in his dealings with people and souls. He makes transactions for artifacts, information, services, and loyalty, often structuring offers around what the other party most desires—such as power, status, revival, or freedom 159 217 275.

Despite his calculating side, Lin Qiye shows empathy toward souls and family. He considers preserving the dead through Virtual Paradise, helps Tapeya with her dual-soul condition, provides cultivation resources for his parents, and becomes fiercely protective after becoming a father 153 154 239 429.
