Lin Xiaoman, a migrant worker who slaved away all year without getting paid, deleted her New Year greeting to her mom while hiding in her rental—she dared not go home, fearing she’d disappoint the mom who’d waited a whole year. At midnight, a “Zero-Cost Purchase System” pop-up seemed like a lifeline, but its rule stunned her: every exchange required a kind deed. She helped an old grandma sell veggies, tutored a neighbor’s kid, and built a nest for stray cats… When she used her “kindness points” to get a train ticket home, her mom called: “Honey, I bought you a New Year’s Eve ticket—I was afraid you’d save money…” It was then she realized: the system never meant to let her “get free stuff”; it helped her reclaim the courage to go home, which had been buried by “no money.”
