After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight.

A Master’s degree? Easy.

PhD? Not a problem.

From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.

“System, can points be exchanged for money?”

“No.”

“F**k, what use are you then!?”

“This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?”

On a frozen tundra, through the billowing steam and blinding blizzard, the shape of a colossal beast slowly emerges.

A grotesque construct seemingly cobbled together from wood and iron, devoid of any sense of beauty or design. Whether it can even move is a mystery—it’s a wonder it holds together at all.

At the front is a massive steel face locked in a twisted grin, with a red mechanical tongue lurking inside its maw.

Below, four claw-like mechanical legs—thin and bird-like—stride awkwardly through the snow, barely supporting the towering monstrosity above. Their fragility is alarming against the beast’s massive frame.

They say, deep within the fortress, a mysterious figure dwells… weaving the fate of all who live.
