Lin Bei, a 25-year-old mechanic, thought his life would be quiet and uneventful. Then, after an accidental electric shock, he began seeing what no one else could: red “bug codes” hovering over the surfaces of objects.
Fixing bugs not only restores junk to new condition, it also gives him access to world-class technical knowledge.
From old speakers to super batteries, from intelligent manufacturing to independent chips, Lin Bei outclasses his competitors at every turn. He earns his first fortune, founds Polaris Technology, and watches its valuation soar.
When traditional giants launch a price war and international conglomerates cut off his supply chains, he uses breakthrough after breakthrough to deliver face-slapping blows to them all, becoming the world’s youngest tech mogul.
But the bugs aren’t appearing by chance. Behind them is a “World Optimization System” from an extraterrestrial civilization, secretly selecting a guide for humanity.
The arrival of other people with special abilities makes the game turn brutal. Some want to protect the world; others want to control everything.
When the ultimate bug appears and global technology teeters on the brink of collapse, Lin Bei must choose between power and responsibility, intellect and humanity.
This is the story of an ordinary man who rises to become the world’s protector, and a legend of how technology can change fate and humanity.
A golden finger? You bet!
Satisfying face-slapping? Absolutely!
