I Discovered a World Bug

“The interview begins. Please introduce yourself and describe your abilities.”

“Hello, interview panel. I mainly study the arts of the Meishan School. I’m proficient in Meishan water magic and incantations, and my specialty is Snow Mountain magic. I can walk through fire without getting hot and freeze water into ice.”

“I also study Lushan Daoist arts, and am skilled in techniques such as transporting objects and confinement.”

“Oh, Snow Mountain magic... That’s rare. I see you applied to the Meteorological Bureau. Would you consider working at a nuclear power plant?”

“A nuclear power plant? What would I be doing there?”

“Mainly maintaining the cooling water for the fusion reactor. You might also be responsible for some of the mechanical containment work.”

“...I suppose that would be fine. I’m willing to go wherever I’m assigned.”

“Great. Then you’ll...”

“Wait!”

“How can we send such a promising candidate to an applied sciences department? Snow Mountain magic is an entropy-reduction effect!”

“Send him to the Institute for Frontier Physics! Now! Immediately!”

While interviewing a psychiatric patient, Lin Shu inherited the teachings of the Meishan School’s master.

The arts passed down from ancient times were like “bugs in the world.” By performing specific rituals to trigger them, one could produce miraculous effects.

The first ritual he encountered was “raising snakes.” The second was “divination with yarrow stalks and a tortoise shell.”

The snake nearly killed him.

The divination saved his life countless times.

And these rituals, or “bugs,” could do far more than that...
