On the eve of spiritual qi revival, Su Xing, a newly graduated office worker, awakens and binds to the so-called “most rational System in the universe,” the Clear-Headed Human System.
He thinks he’s finally on his way to the peak of life, but the System demands that he recite “Li Sao” on a subway during rush hour, make a heartfelt confession to the neighborhood security guard, and piece together a crushed packet of instant noodles one fragment at a time. The tasks are absurd, the rewards are often wrong, and the System is a bundle of obsessive-compulsive disorder, multiple personalities, and paranoia. Its condition is so stable it’s despair-inducing.
But Su Xing gradually discovers that the fundamental rules of this world are just as abnormal: the more absurd an act is, the greater the power it can unleash.
So when ancient martial arts families, strange secret realms, and the mysterious organization known as the Church of Unity appear one after another, everyone else fights with supernatural abilities and spells, while Su Xing finds a way through with public embarrassment, arguing, and deadpan nonsense. Even Lin Qingyuan, the aloof genius of the Special Investigations Bureau, gradually lets loose under his influence.
When absolute rationality attempts to erase every “irrational” thing in the world, Su Xing decides to prove, alongside a group of oddball fellow patients, that:
The world can be crazy, there doesn’t have to be just one right answer, and even imperfect beings have the right to refuse deletion.
