“Master math, physics, and chemistry, and you’ll never fear going anywhere in the world.” With that saying, top science student Zhou Shen was thrown into the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty.
From the start, Zhou Shen nearly got sold off for travel money by Li Chongren, his “best buddy” and childhood friend. Fueled by a bellyful of resentment (and nine years of compulsory education), Zhou Shen quickly launched a “dimensionality reduction” assault: he performed magic tricks for spoiled young nobles with “pinhole imaging,” built a stand-in for Kongming lanterns using “aerodynamics,” and produced glass beads that looked suspiciously like elixirs of immortality with “chemical equations,” stunning everyone and earning a reputation as a prodigy.
But just as he was preparing to lie flat and coast until his days were done, traces of a plot targeting him, centered on the Xuanwu Gate, gradually began to emerge. And his good brother Li Chongren, jealous of his talents, revealed his demonic fangs. Forced to play his ultimate trump card, Zhou Shen activated the [Modern Knowledge Supernatural Arts System]! The System automatically breaks up his knowledge and fills the “Tang Dynasty game” with fragments, letting him recite the “Rhapsody on the Red Cliffs” in classical Chinese to start a fire, calculate trajectories with trigonometry, and summon a “mechanical abacus” to slay enemies using abacus rhymes...
This is a laugh-out-loud tale of a science student opening the door to a whole new world. When the Tang Dynasty version of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them collides with Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Practice Tests, Zhou Shen, fate’s chokehold around his throat, throws back his head and cries, “If you transmigrate without building infrastructure, are you supposed to spend your whole life gnawing on trigonometry?”
