The live stream screen went black.
The comment section flooded with question marks.
Soon, an official announcement scrolled across the top:
"The mist controlling the city's sky has been dispersed!"
Cheers erupted in the live stream—this meant Fang Zhiyi had succeeded yet again!
Viewers from other countries cursed as they exited, while leaders of nations hostile to the Xia Kingdom wore grim expressions.
In K Country, Ning Yi'an was also suffering. Not only had she failed her mission, but she'd also been extorted for a hefty sum. She knew K Country paid only to save their cities, not her. But when the official representative stood before her, declaring she'd be held responsible for the debt, Ning Yi'an's world collapsed.
Naturally, her hatred for Fang Zhiyi deepened.
Meanwhile, the Xia Kingdom's think tank was in chaos. Fang Zhiyi had completed the game but hadn't returned!
After thorough investigation, they reluctantly accepted a grim truth: Fang Zhiyi was likely trapped in the eerie world—and might not survive. The mist outside game scenarios was lethally dangerous. Once, a skilled contestant from Y Country tried exploring it and ended up torn to pieces.
Though grieving, officials accelerated training new recruits. With heavy losses and Fang Zhiyi's fall, they needed backup plans.
Time passed, and the game resumed.
This round required duo cooperation. The Xia Kingdom's chosen were a college student—just an ordinary one—and, bafflingly, none of the trained volunteers were selected.
When the live stream flickered to life, the sight of Fang Zhiyi casually eating ice cream outside a convenience store stunned everyone.
The public, unaware of the details, assumed anyone this relaxed at the start must be formidable.
"Host, the live stream's begun," Xiao Hei reminded.
Fang Zhiyi nodded eagerly. "Finally! I was bored to death." He swaggered to the roadside and hailed a cab.
A blood-red taxi emerged from the thin mist, its driver fully shrouded—clearly unnatural.
Fang Zhiyi climbed in without hesitation.
"Happy Neighborhood. Step on it."
The live stream exploded again.
"Wait, why is Fang-ge’s spawn point different?"
"Yeah, that college student—Cheng Xiang, right?—woke up at home reading rules."
"Same for other countries. Why’s Fang-ge’s vibe so unique?"
"It’s rigged! The game’s rigged!"
"Oh, shut up!"
"But I also think Fang-ge’s being targeted."
Officials remained silent. One staffer asked, "Should we inform the public about Fang Zhiyi’s status?"
A gray-haired man pondered, then shook his head. "No. Whatever happened, he’s still our nation’s hero. Let him decide. Maybe this round will bring him back."
Fang Zhiyi leaned against the rickety door, his mind drifting to a month earlier.
"Something in this damn mist grabbed me!"
"Host, to your right!"
With Xiao Hei’s help, he’d stumbled through the mist—whether by luck or the Golden Light Protection Charm’s power, he’d escaped. The outside world still swirled with fog, but it was navigable.
Xiao Hei warned of a curse.
"Curse?" Fang Zhiyi frantically patted himself down. Dying pointlessly would be humiliating.
When Xiao Hei extracted the "Prophet’s Blessing," Fang Zhiyi froze. "This is the curse?"
Xiao Hei scoffed. "Obviously. Why would they gift you power for free? This thing’s a trap." It pointed skyward.
Then Fang Zhiyi’s stomach growled.
Now he was stranded, worrying about food. He should’ve been back home feasting, not stuck here.
Luckily, the eerie world mirrored human society—some differences, but the logic held.
For example, it had muggers too.
When they saw their target was human, they’d grinned like they’d hit the jackpot—until the hangry Fang Zhiyi beat them senseless and took their valuables.
Watching him leave, the robbers wept. How did a human reek of their kind?
The menace returned, lost. They tearfully led him to a convenience store selling fresh meat, blood, and less popular items like instant noodles.
Dust-coated ramen made Fang Zhiyi ponder.
He had a theory.
At checkout, the clerk attacked—but his hacksaw was no match. Fang Zhiyi hung the corpse outside and promoted the robbers to manager and assistant manager.
A day later, the store’s powerful owner arrived, furious about his employee’s display.
He charged in, confident he could crush the two weaklings—only to find a human and two terrified ghosts playing poker.
By midnight, another body decorated the storefront.
Thus began Fang Zhiyi’s entrepreneurial journey in the eerie world.
When a human-meat factory truck arrived, he tried ordering pork and beef. The rude salesman mocked his humanity, so Fang Zhiyi twisted his head off and hung it like a mascot. The driver fled, trembling.
The factory boss was smarter. Learning the convenience store owner’s fate, he abandoned revenge—why risk angering a madman?
He visited Fang Zhiyi, proposing a partnership.
It paid off. Fang Zhiyi’s business tactics outperformed their brutish methods.
First, he "rented" empty shops for branches. Then he "recruited" street randoms—sorry, "lucky hires"—with biannual pay.
Yesterday, he standardized uniforms and launched new services.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

[Dao Companion Rental System]. By renting himself out as a temporary dao companion to daughters of destiny, Qin Hao could obtain generous rewards. His service philosophy was simple: play the role of the devoted lover, resolve their troubles, depart without a trace once the matter was settled, and absolutely avoid entangling karma. However, those daughters of destiny didn't see it that way. That night, all the major powers across the Three Realms and Nine Heavens jointly besieged the Qin Clan, plunging it into an unprecedented crisis. "It's Su Qingyue! The peerless sword immortal who attained the Dao and became an Immortal Emperor in a thousand years, the one who severed the River of Time with a single sword strike! When... when did our Qin Clan make an enemy of her?" Qin Hao stepped forward, clearing his throat lightly: "Ahem, Ancestors, don't panic. She's here for me. To be honest... she's my ex-girlfriend." From another direction, the newly ascended Empress of the Demon Realm arrived with ten thousand demons pressing on the border: "Qin Hao! Today, the entire Qin Clan shall be buried with you!" Hearing this, the Qin Clan ancestors all turned their eyes sharply towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao scratched his head somewhat sheepishly: "The Demon Empress... she's also my ex-girlfriend." Before the Qin ancestors could process this, an aloof figure traversed the River of Time: "The Qin Clan deserves annihilation!" Recognizing the newcomer, the Qin ancestors paled in terror: "It's her! Liu Ruyan, the Extinction Empress who ventured alone into the alien realm and suppressed it for an entire epoch! Didn't she vanish into the River of Time long ago? Why would she cross it just to target our clan?" Qin Hao scratched his head again, looking even more embarrassed: "My fault, my fault. She's an ex-girlfriend too." Watching countless celestial maidens descend, the Qin Clan ancestors were utterly astounded: "You scoundrel! Just... just how many women have you gotten involved with over the years?"
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
