I Became a Game Shill Thanks to a BUG

In 20XX, the wildly popular global full-immersion game Starrealm Expedition suddenly announced it would be "free forever." But after an update, it secretly introduced a string of "anti-cheat bugs." These weren't designed to stop hacks. They randomly triggered "reverse bugs" in players: some found their skill cooldowns turned negative, so skills refreshed as soon as they were used; some watched their basic gear evolve on its own; and others could hear NPCs' inner grumbling...

Lin Feng, the protagonist, is a professional grind addict who pays his tuition by playing Starrealm Expedition accounts for hire. While boosting an account one day, he accidentally glitches into the game's underlying code and becomes the only player on the server who can "trigger and control bugs" at will. Even more absurdly, all the bugs he triggers are ridiculous, meme-worthy types: casting Fireball summons a dancing, singing turkey; using a healing spell heals enemies but makes them laugh uncontrollably until they freeze up; and the gold in his inventory turns into memes that flood the screen...

To avoid getting banned, since his account-boosting work is how he makes a living, Lin Feng is forced to use these absurd bugs while "pretending to be an ordinary player." By a twist of fate, though, the game officials mistake him for a hidden master, and even a cute customer service rep assumes he's an insider sent from headquarters to test new features. From then on, he uses bugs to pull off one ridiculous stunt after another while being forced to play along with the officials' "master" act. Caught between "exposing the bugs" and "pretending to be an expert," he somehow becomes the most absurd legend on the entire server.
