I Wrote a Cheat at Eight, So My Parents Rushed Me to the Academy of Sciences

[Child prodigy + cutting-edge technology + turning inventions over to the state + invincible power fantasy + hard science]

Eight-year-old Shen Mingzhou thinks the games on the market require too much grinding, so he casually writes a cheat code.

The code not only crushes Penguin's firewall, supposedly “the world's strongest anti-cheat system,” but also brings overseas hacker networks to a standstill!

Seeing red warning messages flashing across the computer screen, his parents think their son has caused a huge disaster. They take him to the police station in the middle of the night to turn himself in.

At the station, experts from the cybersecurity department stare at the code, sweating profusely. One of them drops to his knees with a thud. “Th-this is code from another era! It must be the work of a top hacker!”

When they learn that an eight-year-old elementary school student wrote it all while sipping Wangzai milk, the entire country's leadership is shaken!

Helicopters are dispatched overnight, and armed personnel take over the Shen family home!

The head of the Academy of Sciences personally rushes to claim him: “This isn't a criminal! He's the hope of our nation's rise! A national treasure! An unparalleled national treasure!”

From then on, the nation gains a top academician who carries an Ultraman backpack.

Overseas powers restrict access to chips? Shen Mingzhou casually sketches out plans for a one-nanometer lithography machine.

The West shows off its stealth fighter jets? Shen Mingzhou modifies a toy plane into a sixth-generation jet engine.

The West is left despairing: “What kind of monster has this country been hiding? Why has its technology suddenly leapt fifty years ahead?!”

Shen Mingzhou sucks on a lollipop. “Just basic stuff. Don't make such a fuss.”
