Cuttlefish That Loves Diving

In this latest work by Lord of the Mysteries author, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, be prepared for a well-thought out and detailed apocalyptic, cyberpunk world with a setting superseding Lord of the Mysteries!
Our protagonist, Shang Jianyao, is crazy—literally crazy, at least that's what the doctors said. Living in a huge, underground building of Pangu Biology, one of the few remaining factions in this apocalyptic wasteland known as the Ashlands, he acts in unfathomable ways that's head-scratching, comical, and shrewd. So is he really crazy? Probably.
He has a grand dream: to save all of humanity.
Intricately tied to this dream is something everyone in the Ashlands believes in: Deep in a particular ruin buried away by danger and famine, a path leading to a new world awaits. To step into the new world, one only needs to find a special key and open that certain door.
There, the land is bountiful, as if milk and honey flows freely. 
The sunlight is dazzling, as if all coldness and darkness are washed away. 
The people will no longer have to face desolation, monsters, infections, mutations, and all kinds of dangers.
There, children are joyous, adults are happy, everything is fine as they are supposed to be.
Every Antiquarian, Ruin Hunter, and Historian roaming the Ashlands knows: That's the New World.

"Wait." The honest Genava interrupted Long Yuehong. "We worked hard to earn the bounty to pay off the money we owe Gitis. At the same time, we bought Eman and Frances's answers from her. Now, the way to earn the bounty is to sell Gitis's secret to the Hunter's Guild. Isn't there some logical error in this matter?"

"Indeed." Shang Jianyao agreed deeply. "We can't betray Gitis to pay her."

Bai Chen helped Long Yuehong say, "In the Old World's entertainment, there are many such matters, but their goal was to renege on their debt."

"That's not our style!" Shang Jianyao said righteously.
