My name is Lin Shen, and I got bound to a tycoon System.
But there seems to be something seriously wrong with my System.
It tells me to spend 10 billion, buying yachts and islands and half the entertainment industry.
Instead, I bet it all on building a world-class particle collider.
System: [Warning! Long-term productive investment detected. Stop immediately and buy luxury goods!]
Me: [Quiet. I'm using your funds to find a bug in the universe.]
While other tycoons are throwing money around in nightclubs, I'm in the lab losing hair over data with an error margin of one-thousandth.
While other Systems reward their Hosts with "X-ray vision" and "jade-spotting skills," mine crashes and hands over a "room-temperature superconductivity formula."
Later, the technology empire I built becomes more valuable than any company in the world.
Looking at the preliminary concept for a curvature engine on my desk, the crashing System lets out one last wail:
[Please... write some normal code! Stop patching the laws of physics!]
This is a very imaginative piece; feel free to read on.
