Chapter 1: An Orphan Awakens
A damp, musty smell drilled into her nostrils, and Lin Wan snapped her eyes open, her gaze focusing on the worn old abacus in her hands. Its wooden beads were cold, yet her fingertips burned hot, the lingering warmth left where the memories of a past life collided with the despair of this one. This was Hong Kong Island in 1970, and dim yellow streetlight leaked through the cracks in the tiles of a slum hovel. The hunger churning in her stomach was held down by a strange, steady calm.
The Divine Abacus Mind-Flow quietly activated, and in her field of vision the world broke apart into countless flowing grids of numbers. She closed her eyes, and in an instant her mind built an arbitrage model for black-market secondhand goods: from the waste cardboard yard in the west district to the warehouses in the east, the cost of pulp per pound, the fluctuations in transport fuel, and even the hidden tax rate of the protection money collected by the gangs were all run to their optimal solution in a single moment.
Its precision surpassed the clumsiest mechanical computers of the age, and its error was zero. This was no fantasy; it was an instinct carved into her soul. Lin Wan slowly flicked the abacus beads, and the crisp sound echoed through the cramped little room, the sound of reason crushing fear underfoot. She was no longer an orphan girl tossed about by fate, but a player who held the variables in her own hands.
